"These Magnificent Tapeworms 2008-2011", aka "The Pizza Box" will be a special release, limited to only 10-20 copies.
It will include six CD-singles with full artwork, representing the 7" vinyl singles we would have released during 2009 and 2010, if only. Brand new picture sleeves have been designed for these CDs.
Also included will be both of our full-length albums to date on CD. Also included: The vinyl LP edition of 2010's 'Beach Fever' (if desired), and a brand-new mock-LP of 2009's 'Sliced Meats & Other Delights'.
You will also find inside your pizza box some other goodies, including a zine-style booklet documenting the history of the band with plenty of pictures, notes, lyrics, show fliers, etc. And an 11"x17" poster.
Of course, in the interest of not asking anyone to re-buy something they might already have, we plan to customize each box based upon what content you REALLY want and at what price.
Our plan is to price the whole kit-and-kaboodle at $30, depending on final production costs. Without the 'Beach Fever' LP, the price drop by around $10. Without the 'Beach Fever' CD, the price drops by around $5. Without the 'Sliced Meats' CD, we'll talk.
If you're at all interested in being a proud owner of one of these sets, contact us and we'll put you on the list.
Ya know . . . for kids . . .

XMAS SUX . . .
BUT IT DON' HAFTA!
Taking a hint from The High & Mighty (& Late) Lux Interior, the TMT will be putting up a mix of NON-CRAP Christmas songs accompanied by some stoopid art on the BLAWG.
Most you've never heard. Some maybe twice. All never on the radio. SO STAY TUNED!
In the meantime, check out The Cramps mix "Black Christmas," & the blog "Christmas A Go Go! which features our track "Gnarly Xxxmas"! It's all "free" & none of it sucks.

News on the March
Breaking news, kids - shows are forming.
June 23 - home turf
June 24 - Atlanta GA at WonderRoot with Street Violence
June 25 - Athens GA House Show during AthFest
More exacts later. Sadly we had to scrap the Florida shows due to the ever present threat of money/employment/rent, etc. There will be a few shows in the Midwest in July and into August, fear not.

Thaw
After hiatus for geographic and fiscal reasons, we will be playing shows in July and August. We expect to hit old haunts in Southern Illinois, Tennessee, Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio, Georgia, and the St Louis area, and maybe a few wild cards. We'll be selling the last hundred or so copies of the BEACH FEVER LP at these shows, as well as mayyyybe a tour EP of some of your favorites that never made it into any of our albums, splits, or comps.
See you this summer!

Updates
Hey all. You deserve updates, dammit. Here's the haps - we are now without band van and in a psuedo-hiatus. I (Dan) went on a four week road trip to the desert and am broke and figuring shit out. Joe and Alex have been working their asses off to catch up on their finances with the break in our wacky touring schedule. Financially, there isn't really a way to replace the van in the short term. Some of you might be saying we could tour in the Bonneville again, but we've gotten used to the creature comforts of living in a minivan for weeks at a time instead of a full size car. Sorry. Although a little hiatus is nice for us to reflect on the insane amount of shows we've played in the last year - about two months of road time in the last year, plus another thirty or forty something home shows. Not bad for three guys with really, really lousy finances.
In the mean time, anyone who wants a copy of the very limited BEACH FEVER LP should email these.magnificent.tapeworms@gmail.com (although I don't check it often enough), or more appropriately, facebook Joe or myself. There's only like 175 left. Also, there are distro options if you think you want a volume discount on four or more and want to hock our swag to your chums. Get in touch! It's almost Christmas and you haven't done any shopping!

Upcoming & Postal
Hey everyone. The LP formally dropped last week at a boisterous PK's show. We made sure to break all of our equipment either before the show or throughout the show, most notably the PA while Angel Sluts were playing. Sorry guys! Kangaroo Rats warmed things up at the Lando Calrissian Lounge while we ate burgers and Leonard hit on my eighteen year old cousin. And Uncle Skunkle from Paducah / Murfreesboro went on first at PK's, giving the best, most lively opener I've seen there in maybe ever. We closed it out with a rowdy set, but due to the muffled fucked up microphone, we couldn't give as many props to the record itself as we wanted too. So we only sold a few. Sad face.
We're still paying them off, and we got a good distance to go before we're earning on it, so if you can spare us the money, please buy a record! We're asking for $12 if you can spare it, or $10 if you don't cater to charity. Remember, it's two colors, has a full color inner sleeve, and was pressed in the limited amount of 250, and never to be repressed. When you buy it, it comes with a delightful CD-R, or a promise of emails of MP3s. There's less than 200 left, and I think there will be less than 125 at the end of October, given the number of people who have expressed interest and are waiting for paychecks. There are fancy CDs of the album, for those less interested in vinyl. There's about 120 of those still kicking. And maybe 25 shirts. Damn!
Everyone who pre-ordered, we don't want to short shaft you, but we're trying to pull together the money for shipping. Yes, you paid that already, but the band credit card (mine) is pretty much maxed out and we're waiting on a few more dollars of merch before we head over to the post office. Just hang in a little longer.
UPCOMING SHOWS
Friday the 15th
Cranky Yellow in St Louis
music at 8pm, all ages, five dollars
with DinoFight! and Up The Whale
Saturday the 16th
O'Connels Irish Pub in Granite City
music at 9 or 10pm (over around midnightish), 21+, three dollars
with Dot Wave
see you there, nerds!

Nightlife Review!
Hey all, chew on this while I type up the last bits of tour for your consumption. Please note that while they credited me (Dan) with most of the quotes, it's only because we sent them some info from my email address. Technically, Joseph typed a lot of the data they used, although it represented all of our voices. Anyway, chow down on that, check back later for an update with that tour data, and see you THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 30 for the BEACH FEVER LP RELEASE! We'll have more data on that quite soon!

Show Update!
Hey Ohio, updates for you kids. Tomorrow, instead of Cincinnati, we'll be playing in Athens, Ohio, at Casa Nueva. The show at May Day just wouldn't work out, but the gentleman Chris of Whale Zombie agreed to put us up at a moments notice. We'll also be playing with Zapano and VALLEYBOYS. Thank you so much to the kind people of Athens for helping us out in a pinch!
Go to Howler's Peyote Cafe in Pittburgh tonight to see us rip it up. Do it!

Record of the Week
On the this list of ten records worth a damn this week, we're number four. Wow.
Today started good and went south. Dan got early afternoon tacos with the Turbo Fruits which bled into mostly beating rush hour out of New York City became a horrific pileup on Interstate 80 just inside Pennsylvania wherein we crawled about a mile in two hours. Then we got to an exit and went on I-80 eastbound to get to local highway 611 and navigate around the bullshit. But guess what! The ramp was closed for resurfacing. So we went back into New Jersey, losing two hours of 'progress', and hunted for the next bridge in Pennsylvania, which was a forty miles of country road and uncertainty, because Dan's dumb ass left our best friend, the 2010 Road Atlas, in Brooklyn. That's right, no GPS for us, and now we've got to do the rest of this tour without even an atlas to our name until we can get one cheap at Big Lots or something. Anyway, we detoured around to I-84 and our four hour, twenty minute drive clocked in around eleven. Good thing this was an off day, or shit would've been scrubbed.
We're exhausted. Crashing with Houseasaurus again. Goodnight.
