Title: The "Songs About Giant Isopods" Album
Post by: TheoGB on 13 Nov 2007, 10:16
Um... there's a big thread on this at Drowned in Sound:

http://www.drownedinsound.com/articles/2561831

The gist is this:

Quote
Hello,

To highlight the plight of the Giant Isopod I am going to produce a limited edition cd featuring songs covering aspects of their nature.

Acts so far confirmed include Pagan Wanderer Lu, Pocus Whiteface & MC CrabbyCrab who will all compose original songs for the occasion.

All contributions/queries should be e-mailed to [email protected]

The compilation will be released on Bathynomuslove Records.

for inspiration look here:

and here:

thanks
rb/pwl

My band (Pocus Whiteface) are one of the acts submitting to this.

Anyway, I realise they have a special place here (QC gets a namecheck in there too) and thought I should give you all a heads up about it. If you want to be included I guess you can contact Andy (PWL).

Unfortunately the Doritos sponsorship didn't work out :(

Cheers
Theo

Oh I'm so in.

EDIT: Hey, Jeph named the shirt the "Sea Horror" shirt! Today I am proud.

Man, now all we have to do is get Slint and Low on this album and Tommy's brain will rip in two and begin battling itself!

How many Canadian Horror Sci-Fi films are there?  :-D

An unfortunate number.

Do not take this as a joke in any way, shape or form. There are a ridiculous number of Canadian horror-sci-fi films out there, mostly shot on a shoestring budget.

Hey, if it wasn't for low-budget Canadian horror films, My Bloody Valentine wouldn't be called My Bloody Valentine.

Ginger Snaps was low budget to begin with, but I still generally like it. Hell, it was my favourite movie for some time, I own all three.
