Film School: s/t

No one has weighed in on this- they prefer discussing the homesexual undercurrents of dance songs and love for that Kelly Clarkson album. But I like Film school, too!

I only post on threads that have the following words in their title:

Wolf
Pitchfork
Vs.
Pox
Top Ten
C/D
Indie
Kompakt

Love, ILM

Film School starts with the guitar.

Death Cab starts with cliche teen relationship lyrics.

i was so excited for the new album, but it sort of is unmemorable to me

Only just heard them the other day for the first time -- liked what I heard, at least! Got recommended to me via the Chameleons list.

That said, they are currently in a world o' hurt -- a myspace bulletin this morning:

Hi all.

Bright and early this morning someone not in our band hopped in our van and busted through the high security gate at the Comfort Inn in Philadelphia. All our gear was in the back. ALL OF IT. If anyone in the Philadelphia area notices a large white Ford van with California plates full of music equipment, please get in touch.

The remaining dates of tour are in limbo as I type this. I'll post another bulletin with more info later.

Thanks,

Film School

Sorry for the multiple bulletins, but we're just about ready lose our minds.

To recap, our van was stolen this morning around 8am from the Comfort Inn on Delaware Ave in Philadelphia. It was a white, 2003 Ford E-350, California license plates. ALL of our gear was taken. Here's a list of what's missing:

- 1966 Ludwig drum kit, blue sparkle
- 23" Paiste ride cymbal
- 1976 Fender P-bass, no finish, beat down, Bartolini pick-up
- 1993 Gibson SG, black
- 1973 Fender Telecaster Deluxe, cream, with marble pickguard, humbuckers
- Fender Twin Reverb amp, 70's silverface, master volume
- Fender Deville guitar amp
- early 70's Ampeg SVT bass head with 2 massive metal handles on the sides
- Ampeg SVT 410HLF bass cabinet
- Peavey keyboard amp
- 3 boxes of effects: 2 Line 6 delay pedals, Memory Man Deluxe, Big Muff, SansAmp Bass DI, Rat, MXR distortion, Cry Baby wah, 2 Boss EQ pedals, Boss Digital Delay, 2 Boss Tuners. These were in 3 different suitcases.
- Kurzweil K2000 keyboard
- Boss Dr. Sample

If anyone in the Philadelphia area has any info where this stuff might surface we'd really appreciate it. Or, if you find our van or our gear we can pay you handsome reward. Seriously.

As for the rest of the tour, here's what's happening:

Wed-DC - cancelled
Thur-Providence - cancelled
Friday-Wellesely College - cancelled
Sat-Mercury Lounge - still on
Sun-Mercury Lounge - still on
Monday- Memphis - ???
all SXSW shows are still on.

If anything changes or the equipment fairy makes a special delivery I'll post a bulletin here to let everyone know. Thanks to everyone who wrote to us. It really means a lot. Thanks again.

Anyone heard the new one, out today?

So that's why they're touring (opening for one U. Schnauss next month).

They have a NEW album out!? I just came here to post that P.S. is a damn near perfect song. I have to go out and buy that album (the one from last year).

Still loving the debut, loving about 2/3rds of the new one. Kinda surprised there isn't more talk about these guys.

Several albums out since the last post, including 2021's _We Weren't Here_ that they're now in the Pac NW touring behind. Playing Ballard's Tractor Tavern Thursday 4/28.

"Nothing's Mine" off 2010's _Fission_ is lighting my brain right now. Wonderful stuff.
