Summertime United States & Canada
Hello friendos, #1 I would just like to let you know that I am already planning a September-time supplementary addendum tour of Midwestern cities that I wasn't able to fit into the summertime tour schedule. Later in the year, I am hoping to also do an additional supplementary addendum tour of Southern states that did not fit into the summer tour OR the September supplementary addendum tour. If you would like me to come play a show in your town, and particularly if you would like to help set up a show in your town, please write to me at casiotonetechsupport@gmail.com. I swear I am not trying to be a jerk to anyone's city or state. There are simply more places than I am able to fit into one big tour . Thanks for your understanding, and I encourage your comments and emails. And now here is what I believe will the final word on the North American Summer Tour.

Song requests
Is there a particular Casiotone for the Painfully Alone song you'd like to hear at one of the upcoming shows? You can email me at casiotonetechsupport@gmail.com with the name of the song and the city where you're planning on seeing a show. Then I can practice the song a couple of times so when I try to play the song I don't forget the words in front of you & everybody. Please title your email with the name of the city followed by "request" (e.g. "Des Moines Request"). Songs I will not play no matter how nicely you ask or how many alcoholic drinks you offer me (sorry!): A Normal Suburban Lifestyle Is A Near Impossibility Once You've Fallen In Love With An International Spy Casiotone for the Painfully Alone Joins the Foreign Legion Hotel Huntington Sign Hey Jelly Beeline Hot Boyz | | Monday, September 8th, 2008 | | 11:11 am |

After some bummer delays at the pressing plant, I will finally have the U.S. pressing of the TOWN TOPIC 7" available on this tour. I will also have a brand new 7" called STSNC INSTRUMENTALS that is sort of the sequel to the TOWN TOPIC EP. TOWN TOPIC EP + STSNC INSTRUMENTALS = all of the music that was recorded specifically for the Laurel Nakadate film, STAY THE SAME NEVER CHANGE. STSNC INSTRUMENTALS collects all of the short instrumental tracks that were used throughout the film, plus a few that didn't make the final cut, including the ringtones for some of the characters' cell phones. Here is the track listing: 1. Twinkle Echo (reverse) 0:36 2. Nashville Parthenon (instrumental) 1:40 3. STSNC 1:02 4. Twinkle Echo (redux) 0:54 5. I like Common 1:17 6. Possible Love Interest (ringtone) 0:32 7. Bad People (ringtone) 0:27 8. OMG (ringtone) 0:30 9. Probably Walkin Down The Street (ringtone) 0:35 10. Ice Cream Truck (instrumental) 1:21 STSNC INSTRUMENTALS is being released by People In A Position To Know, INC in Olympia, WA. The 7" will be limited to 300 copies, and is being pressed onto random surprise colored vinyl. I don't even know what they will look like until they come back from the pressing plant! TOWN TOPIC + STSNC INSTRUMENTALS = $10, or $5 each on the merch table. Both releases will be available through mail order some time next month. See you soon!
