The Theater Fire: Brilliant. And Now Very, Very, Very Generous.

Fri Jun 20, 2008 at 02:41:30 PM

A big thank-you to Pete Freedman this afternoon, as over on DC9 he's posted the new video from The Theater Fire -- which is for the new song "Uncle Wayne" off the band's forthcoming this fall Matter of Light. Which is nice and all -- like the Old 97's, The Theater Fire got 'em a teevee star to appear in their latest promotional narrative. But for those who head over to the band's mighty, mighty generous MySpace page, you'll also find four terrific tracks from the new record available for downloading: "Uncle Wayne," "Swashbuckler Blues" (or, perhaps, "Errol Flynn," as it appears on my iTunes), "Beatrice-Ode" and "Coyote." Or, as I now call them, the four songs I've just put on my iPod for nonstop weekend listening. --Robert Wilonsky

welp, there's at least one thing we disagree on.

religion of bacon says:

If you play both YouTube videos and one of the non-video tracks on their MySpace page all at the same time, it's actually not half bad.

they're better than both of your bands, kids.

It's been a long wait. I'm going to give each of the boys a gut shot if "Ready Now" is not included on the album.

Two landmarks I recognized:
Broadway Baptist?? and Parker Commons (old FW High School).

Great song and video!

Sean says:

Sorry qualifyingman, You're gonna have to wait for the next one... meanwhile, enjoy these!

But we'll be doing our stomach-crunches, just in case.
