I just updated the reviews page with a couple of reviews for “Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom,” one from the Portland Mercury and another from Rich at Eartaste. Consider this the overture for the shot heard ’round the world called Public Domain Rainbow, coming out in 2009.

I wrote back in August that I was going to spend all of my caloric intake on writing and recording ONE SONG. Well, I did just that (yet somehow a bunch of those calories still managed to find their way to my midriff). It’s called “Bad Vibrations” (haha!) and it will definitely end up on Public Domain Rainbow. It will blow y’all away. I am always hesitant to make such claims, but I really think it’s a good song. I have spent way more time on this song than pretty much any other song I’ve recorded, and I’ve made sure that every second of it is engaging and radical. It’s not 100% finished yet, but even in its 90% finished state, it pleases me, and I hope you too eventually. Again, I don’t want to set expectations too high, but I just want to say YES, it’s as good as I was hoping for. It should end up being a highlight on PDR.

Parfly,

Peoples! Lovers! Dudes! Fiends! I just made a video for a new song called “Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.” Actually, it’s an old song; it was co-written with Mayhaw Hoons from The Shaky Hands back in 1999, who also put in some singing and clapping duties on this recording of it. After years lost in the wilderness, it finally finds a home on my forthcoming album Public Domain Rainbow, which is being released someday by somebody.

Hopefully more videos of new songs will be coming soon!
