From Douglas Wolk's Lacunae:

Word comes from Irwin Chusid that Scrawl--a band dear enough to my heart that the column I've been writing on and off for 13 years is indirectly named after one of their albums--are looking to release a compilation of a bunch of stuff from their pre-Elektra years. They own the rights to He's Drunk, Plus, Also, Too, Smallmouth, Bloodsucker and Velvet Hammer, and there's also a Peel session, some live recordings and a few other things. And they're playing a reunion show opening for Shellac next month in Chicago.
If you're reading this & are interested in talking to Scrawl about putting something out, you can contact the band via Irwin at keyofz [at-sign-goes-here] mindspring.com.

Filed under "music v. the world", because, well, yeah.

If I could actually get a FACE CARD while playing online poker, I'd totally bankroll this.

Oh, yeah - and Miccio to thread, since he just blogged aboot Scrawl on the Tofu Hut.

FWIW, I lovelovelove all of it to varying degrees (though my truest luv is saved for Bloodsucker & Velvet Hammer) ("CLOCK SONG" BABY YEAH) (& "Love's Insecticide", despite of / because of its metaphorical corniness) (the tune is IT, tho) (& their "Public Image" cover off of Nature Film) (& that Nugent medley on the Travel On, Rider-era Elektra promo EP).

six months pass...

OK, so whatever happened with this? Anyone actually see the Scrawl reunion? Are they still going? Who's drumming for them now? Whatever happened to Carolyn O'Leary? etc.
