Notes:
From Promo:
This show was recorded onto one-inch 8-track tape in front of lucky-to-get-a-ticket crowds. The 8-track master is mixed to 2-track tape at Third Man Studio and that tape is then used to cut the vinyl master, thus ensuring the recording remains in the analog domain the entire time and is never transferred to a digital signal.
With limited-edition, split-color, black-and-blue vinyl versions of the LP only available to attendees of the show.

Terror of the eternal return
litany
ˈlɪt(ə)ni/
noun
- 1.a series of petitions for use in church services or processions, usually recited by the clergy and responded to in a recurring formula by the people.
- 2.a tedious recital or repetitive series.
From Wikipedia
"In certain highly evolved societies, the intellectual élites progressively detach themselves from the patterns of traditional religion. The periodical resanctification of cosmic time then proves useless and without meaning. [...] But repetition emptied of its religious content necessarily leads to a pessimistic vision of existence.
When it is no longer a vehicle for reintegrating a primordial situation [...] that is, when it is desacralized, cyclic time becomes terrifying; it is seen as a circle forever turning on itself, repeating itself to infinity."
Thank God
Son: Mummy mummy mummy, please buy this record, I've wanted it forever (nearly 6 months)
MOTHER: Mummy wants you to be happy, but $75.00? That’s outrageous; he probably bought it 2 days ago for like $10 or $15
SON: It's a simple case of supply and demand, mummy, supply and demand.
MOTHER: That’s not the point. Some poor little punk kids made that record with their bare hands and bits of their souls and they probably only got $5 to share between their whole family.
SON: Making a profit is nothing to be ashamed of. We live in a consumer capitalist society, the little punk kids get their $5, the man gets his profit, we get the record.
THE FATHER: That's right son and it's called REALITY, be sure to keep it going or else something bad will happen.
The End
Day of the Year
It's not every day you get to hear a new part of the FU Zodiac for the first time, and it's not every day you get a bunch of holy grails in the post. The flyers below are from the legendary Barcelona gig in 2006 and they were made by Guille, the vocalist of INVASION. There are rumoured to be maybe 8 different ones and some were randomly put into the FUMS PERILLOSOS 7".
I contacted Guille about 3 years ago, to see if he'd kept any of the flyers; he's been meaning to send them ever since... and I've been thinking of one day getting them ever since... God or whatever does God's job must be into synchronicity, because they could have arrived on any day since three years ago, but they they arrived today on "Year of The Snake" day. Amen.
For some reason, a lot of the music I listen to that isn't by Fucked Up is by bands that once played with Fucked Up or are related in someway...
Here's ARCHAIC: one of Guille's projects, post INVASION
