THE NEWEST NEWS
So it's probably a good idea to have the news going from newest to oldest rather than the other way around. I apologize for making you scroll, I know how lazy you useless fucks are. Wasting half your lives on this pathetic myspace business. It's exactly what Rupert Murdoch WANTS you to do. Really, can every aspect of your social life be summed up and neatly expressed by myspace's handy little categories? Do you enjoy putting yourselves in boxes? Do you crave attention that much? Does every casual acquaintance of yours need to know exactly which lame bar you'll be hanging out at this Friday? When the revolution comes, Tom will be one of the first to go.
Still, in the marketplace of ideas, Suzanne The Plan too is just one more product. And this is free advertising. What kind of capitalist would I be to turn down free advertising?
Speaking of which, Suzanne The Plan is indeed making an appearance on An Idiot To Not Appreciate Your Time: A Tribute To Silkworm (what a mouthful). This will be the first time we've appeared on a record that will press more than 20 copies. And what illustrious company we keep! Rubbing elbows on disc with the likes of Steve Albini and the Kadane brothers from The New Year (and before that Bedhead). We're about to buy monocles and dress like it's the belle epoque.
There's 1000 copies, so get them while they're available. Which will probably be for 100 years. You can Paypal yourself one at the following site: http://www.silkwormtributerecord.com
Plus, we're playing our first show in a year in a couple weeks. All new material, including a cover of an old ragtime song by Blind Boy Fuller called "Terrible Operation Blues". It's public domain, so nobody's getting sued. If you're up for it, we'll see you Saturday, Aug 5 at Philip's Emporium in Bloomsburg, PA. I'm travelling to be there, so you should too.
OLDER, LESS NEWSY NEWS
Suzanne The Plan is more an idea than a band. It's an idea of a band under the assumption that if you first have the idea, the band will follow. Suzanne The Plan has existed off and on for four or five years, and has self released three albums to about five people. Those albums are Goodbye To Old Girlfriends, This Is A Joke, and Rocktober! (ordered from oldest to newest and most to least sucky).
As always, if you provide the gig we'll provide the guitars and the snotty indie attitude.

Thank you, thank you very much.
Suzanne The Plan does not reside in Brooklyn. Suzanne The Plan resides in the enchanted woods of Inwood. Although our existence is denied on most conventional maps, Inwood is very much a part of New York City and, specifically, Manhattan. No, no, Manhattan doesn't just stop north of 110th Street--it goes on! Upward! To the lower 200s!
There will be no Suzanne The Plan Meets The Handsome Pants album. I'm sad too. But you should just listen to Phantom Telegrams, because it's so good no Suzanne The Plan input was needed.
Suzanne The Plan may become a different band, with the assistance of the always able Noah Morgan. And if you know a drummer in NYC whose looking for a sloppy indie act, well, like Amy Grant, we too can grant wishes.
In the meantime, Suzanne The Plan will probably next be heard from on an all acoustic album. Technology--I renounce you! Electricity--I do not need you to make sounds!
And it looks like Suzanne The Plan will be on an upcoming Silkworm tribute record early next year, butchering "Grotto Of Miracles"
