ladies and gentlemen, meet COMPUTERMAN. 
yes indeed kids! come Monday 5th December, the debut single from
Nottingham's Computerman will be available for you to purchase from all good
record stores (and the odd crappy one too).
for those who've not been paying attention, the single is available as a
limited edition, double A-side, lovely, red vinyl 7" 
single, which features
the tracks 'No More Broken Hearts' and 'Watch More Televsion'. it is ALSO
available as an even more limited edition CD-single, which features the same
tracks, PLUS the extra 'No_Recover [demo]'.
the sleeve looks exactly like this:
for those of you either:
a) living in the future already, or
b) living a spiritual existence of 'no physical pssessions' ;
there will be lovely hi-quality download versions of
the 3 tracks available through iTunes, Napster etc etc etc.
got Windows Media Player? see the video for 'No More Broken Hearts' (its very awesome and was made by the wonderfully talented Rob & Chris at
Futronica www.futronica.com).

www.normanrecords.com
www.piccadillyrecords.co.uk

(if you really want a signed edition, you should make sure you contact the
store to make sure they've still got some available to pre-order. i know for
a fact that a couple them places have already had a bunch of orders and are
low in their allocation... no bullshit).
right then... that's that for now. go buy it! (thanks)
'From A Compound Eye' is Bob Pollard's first 'proper' solo album since the disbanding of his indie-/lo-fi-/pop-/stadium-rock outfit GUIDED BY VOICES amidst a sea of tears and beer on New YEars Eve 2004.
we here at Must Destroy are responsible for it here in the UK and Europe, whilst in the US the honour goes to the very awesome Merge Records (as if it wasn't enough that we get to work with Bob, we also get to work with the folks who not only brought The Arcade Fire and Butterglory to the world, but also wrote 'Slack Motherf*cker'... truly, we are not worthy).
'From A Compound Eye' will be released Monday 6th February 2006.
From A Compound Eye is preceded in the UK by the single 'I'm A Strong Lion'
on December 12th 05. released as a limited edition 7" and limited edition
CD-single, the single is backed by the otherwise unavailable tracks
'Breadcrumbs For The Whales' on the 7" and CD, and also 'Inchworm Parade' on
the CD only.
for more info on the album - and other goings on in the world of Robert Pollard / Guided By Voices - you could do worse than check out the news piece at Pitchfork (cos they obvioulsy have more patience for typing than we got) or Bob's own site
thank you.
YEAH!!!! the time is very nearly upon us, kids!
the 'Feast's second proper full-length release for Must Destroy is 'in the can' (as they say. maybe) and will hit the shelves of record stores on Monday 19th September, whether you like it or not.
as with previous Sludgefeast releases, it was recorded within the opulent grounds of Castle Feast with absolutely no expense spared... but Virtua-Rock far exceeds previous Feast output in terms of raw rock, overdriven bass frequencies and sheer exhilarating speaker-wrecking shit-rock mayhem.
and, what's more, packaged alongside these 17 tracks of distortotastic awesomeness is a BONUS DVD!!
featuring not only all the 'Feast promotional videos so far and a whole heap of live tracks and stuff... but also the excellent mini-rockumentary DISASTOUR!!!!
bargain!
to prepare yourself for this momentous event you can download Sludgefeast's 'Total Confusion' EP (featuring a different version of Virtua-Rock's 'Total Confusion' and 3 exclusive non-album tracks) AND a the nice artwork to go with it, all for FREE!
ain't we nice?
Sludgefeast will, of course, be hitting the stages of the UK (and Europe!) to support the release of Virtua-Rock... check back here or www.sludgefeast.com for more details as they happen!!!
