Well I figure since they've been playing new material a new recording must be near. Anyone heard anything or know any info on it?. Alas I missed the seattle show so i havn't heard a note of the new stuff.

I heard it's gonna be a concept album entitled "The life and times of Errol Brown (from hot chocolate)".

dude i really hate to break this to you but shellac broke up. apparently steve got in a big hissy fit with bob because he wanted to do an all disco album and then he just stormed off sobbing.

im sorry i had to break this to you.

So ETA?'s the title?

Evanston Transit Authority?

this is what steve said in a recent (late july) interview

[quote]So has Shellac recorded anything lately? What’s going on with that?

Steve: Yeah, we just finished. Well we’re not completely finished. But we are near as damn it to finished on another record/album.

Me: So how many songs?

Steve: At the moment, ten. It might be nine, it might be eight, it might be ten.

Me: It’s funny that it’s getting worked out that way. When did you guys announce that? Because people were saying 2006 for the new one a few years ago. I don’t even know if you did announce it, but that is what everyone is saying.

Steve: Well, people just kept asking. I have to admit; the official release date of a record has never meant anything to me. As a band member or as a fan. I never really cared when a record comes out. I would much rather go to a record store and get a great record than one that is “freshâ€

I figured it would just be a" whenever its done" thing, just like 1000 hurts was. Unless this time they decide to got on a morning talk show junket and hit up Oprah and all those shows. Wow imagine that! hahaha .I remember hearing a bunch about it about a week before its release and that was it, not a peep up until that point. Well I look forward to it thats for sure!

After seeing them at the subt in Chicago recently the new album will be great.

someone linked my interview.

Wait, let me get this straight--you're saying that E.T.A. is the new Shellac? This seems doubtful, but it does open up the interesting question of "Who is the new Shellac?" Anyone have any suggestions?
