– “…I is a lover, you is a tiger…we could have such a good time…”
The new Trashcans e.p. ‘Town Foxes’ is a collaboration with long-time friends and touring partners in Japan, Sunny Day Service.
They joined forces recently for this 2 track Japanese only e.p. on Rose Records. The A-side is the Trashcans recorded demo verison of the song whilst the B-side is a Japanese version “Yume iro no machide”, sung by Keiichi Sokabe over the TCS backing track.
Limited to 500 copies it was made available at the recent Japanese shows on 1-4 March 2010.
There are no photo credits on the sleeve.

Released in the Summer of 2004 this was a single track promo CD sent to hip and cool radio stations for a wee spin before the release of fourth album ‘Weightlifting’.
There’s not much to it, just the plain old CD and a photocopied insert.
It’s rare!

…of world domination? Mmmm, perhaps not.
One of my earlier posts will give you all the info you need on the Westwood One Radio Networks.
This is another rare CD which includes the tracks ‘Iceberg’ and ‘Remember Phil’. The latter, as you well know, is in fact ‘Twisted And Bent’ – but when this acoustic session was recorded the song had no official title. It is introduced by Frank as a ‘world exclusive’ and is rather good.
Both tracks eventually appeared on the 7-inch vinyl bootleg which accompanied some copies of the Autopsy fanzine. More on both of these here and here.

This Japanese release of second album ‘I’ve Seen Everything’ will be a rare sight to most as not too many of them were pressed.
The packaging is almost identical to the standard US and European releases apart from the obvious record label details. It also comes with a fold-out Japanese lyric sheet.
Very nice it is too.
