CRUELTY! CD Release Tuesday, July 29 @ Cactus Cafe.

I revealed the cover art last week. Now it’s time to unveil the list of songs that you’ll find on your copy of CRUELTY! Drum roll…

1. Legitimate Film
2. The Cruelty of Teenage Girls
3. Amelía
4. Fatty Arbuckle
5. Domesticity
6. The Last Remaining Beatle
7. Everyman
8. El Soldado
9. Wheat Threshers
10. You Let Me Down
11. To Be So Bland
12. Main Street
13. Sometimes I Forget

I’ll post this list on the door of the song gym. I just want to say something to those tunes that didn’t make the team this year: Don’t give up! I saw some real, raw talent during the tryouts, and you’ve all made me proud. Some of you need to work on yourselves at home. Some of you were a little too silly out there. Others simply didn’t fit in with the rest of the team. But don’t let this get you down. I believe there is a hit single inside every one of you, or I wouldn’t keep you around. Ok? Ok. Break!

As for you humans, we are now 21 days from the release. If you haven’t started saving for your purchase of CRUELTY, just throw 3 quarters in a jar every day from now ‘till then, and you’ll have $15 when July 29 rolls around. I’ll have pre-order info up real soon for those of you who can’t join the party at the Cactus Cafe.

I hope you like the list!

World’s Strangest Looking Animals

Alas! we make
A ladder of our thoughts, where angels step,
But sleep ourselves at the foot: our high resolves
Look down upon our slumbering acts.
