I was informed via a couple comments on my “Bomb Iran” video that CNN showed a clip of it recently. I don’t really know anything else other than that, but that’s pretty cool! Thanks, Wolf!

Also, KINK will again be playing “The Zaps” on their Local Music Spotlight on April 1 at 9:20 pm. No, this is not an AFJ. It is for realz.

Make Me Dinner is not yet available on iTunes, but it should be up soon. Hopefully. I really don’t have any control over the actual time it takes to get it up there. But it should be soon. Maybe Wolf Blitzer can pull some strings, if you ask him curtly.

Here is the final tracklisting of the Make Me Dinner EP:

1. Soldier Down
2. Waiting While Sleeping
3. Palm Trees
4. Just Like That
5. Surgeon 2008
6. Choke
7. Eternal Return (demo)
8. I’m In The Way

It is a DIGITAL-ONLY release, meaning you will only be able to procure it on iTunes, Amazon, Napster and other digital download stores. But who buys CDs anymore, right?! Only people from THE NINTIES would do that! Those crazy clueless bastards!

I sent it off to CD Baby today, which means that it should be up on iTunes within a week or two. There is still a slight wait before you get to plunder this musical booty!

Small change of plans regarding the EP: it will no longer contain the song “Bomb Iran,” because I don’t even really like it that much and I don’t wanna deal with any potential legal issues with a song I can’t get behind. Instead, it will be called Make Me Dinner and will be a digital-only release. I just wanna get the songs out. I might add another song or two to the EP as well, and the final track listing will be announced as soon as I lock it down with indestructible chains and a force field.

If you want “Bomb Iran” then just freaking download it for free or listen here:

WIRED MAGAZINE is now using “Update Your Blog” for the theme song of their new video blog! It features the internet humorist Lore Sjoberg, who has some hilarious things to say about the Zelda games in this first installment. Absorb it:

In other news, I’m releasing a new EP! It’s called the Bomb Iran EP! I figured I should release the YouTube sub-sensation “Bomb Iran” because apparently people would like to have an actual non-YouTube-sounding recording of it. And it gives me an excuse to finish and release some of the outtakes and demos from Missing Briefcase that I really like but weren’t quite right for the album. Also, I re-recorded 2003′s “Soldier Down” specially for the EP, to kind of give a bit of thematic consistency. It should be out by mid-March. Here’s the tracklisting:

1. Bomb Iran
2. Soldier Down
3. Waiting While Sleeping (MB outtake)
4. Just Like That (MB outtake)
5. Choke (MB outtake)
6. Eternal Return (10/06 demo)
7. I’m In The Way (12/06 demo reworked)

Of course, I will let you all know the instant the EP is available on CD Baby, iTunes, and that whole routine. Until then…HIKE!
