Euskadi Ta Askatasuna?

When I saw them in Pittsburgh I asked Bob Weston about it and he said the albums done and TG has it but the artwork isn't finished yet. So sometime this year or the beginning of next or sometime next year or...

Isn't this a Dan Fogelberg record?

I believe there is a picture of this album's artwork on the Touch & Go posters they were giving away at the anniversary shows.

The one with the greyhound? Yes?

The greyhound cover is probably right considering it's in the album title:

Excellent Italian Greyhound

I thought Bob said on Saturday that it would be called "Excellent Italian Greyhound" during the Q&A.

some dude commenting shellac video on youtube wrote:their new album is supposed to come out at the end of the year. I talked to Jay Ryan of Dianogah and he said that Jason (Dianogah/The Bird Machine screenprinting company) is doing the artwork.. and it's supposed to be out by December.

They are in fact done recording it at least.

can anyone confirm or deny this?

I can confirm that there is some confusion about who Jason is and who Jay is.

I can confirm that I am Jason, that I do *not* run The Bird Machine and that I am not designing the artwork for Shellac's new record. I can confirm that I do not know when the new Shellac record is coming out, besides what Bob told the crowd at the T+G party.

apaprently i'm the only guy who listened to that interview online from last wednesday.

album's being pressed now.

they're dealing with a complication in either the art or the sleeve.

probably out late this year, early the next.

Excerpta!

The title comes from pet banter exchanged between Trainer and his dog, Ufizzi. “When he was a puppy and would do something good, I would say, ‘Excellent Italian greyhound!’ Just like any other idiot talks to his dog,” Trainer explains. “One time Bob and Steve came to visit me in Minneapolis and I was in the habit of saying that a lot. They picked it up and it became this phrase that we used for a while. If anything was really good, like you could be referring to your hotel room, the audience or whatever the case may be, you could say, ‘Wow, excellent Italian greyhound, that hotel room was awesome.' Or if you saw a really spectacular creature of the opposite sex walking down the street you would say, ‘…Italian greyhound…’ To make it funny, we played a show that was a radio broadcast and one of us had said that in an interview. Later I saw that someone had bootlegged the show and was selling it on eBay. The bootleg was called Excellent Italian Greyhound, and when I saw it, I thought, we have to take that back if for nothing else than to rip off a bootlegger for the first time in history.”

Alright, I'm going to have to call bullshit on this. Link?
