The Singles - Season 4
Season Finale:
Filthy Piss-Soaked Monkey
liner notes by Urban Van Hoof
Today’s release, the last of the season, has a bit of a ska flavor and takes us on an anthropological journey very familiar to certain residents of Kicksville.
 
For Kicksville fans, the song has everything: Lots of good guitar and bass and drums and keyboard playing, information on the behavior of various primates, and swearing.
 
Lots and lots and LOTS of swearing. And some Cockney rhyming slang thrown in for good measure.

Despite the colorful language, there is a poignancy in the story they tell. Who is this urine-soaked primate? Is he more monkey or man? Or urine? Where is his place in society, if he belongs to neither the human nor the primate communities?
 
And what the hell does "I pork-pies a rub-a-dub" mean, anyway?

Thank you guys!
First things first: We'd like to thank you all for making this the most successful release series we've ever had. The giant spike on the right in that graph doesn't even count last week's single (and to give some perspective, the bottom line of the graph is NOT zero). We do this because we love to make music, not to please record labels or cater to the flavor of the day. We can't tell you how much it means to get such an overwhelming response to our music - so all we can say is thank you again, and there's a lot more coming....
 
Now for everyone who was involved in The Singles - Season 4.... The songs came out great (at least we think so), and we had a shite-load of fun making it all happen. So, without further ado, let the credits roll:

RECALL GOV. SCOTT WALKER
The movement to recall WIsconsin Gov. Scott Walker is in full swing. It's just 7 days into the process, and over 100,000 signatures have been collected. WIsconsin voters need 540,208 signatures by January 15, 2012 to force a recall election, so there's still a long way to go.
 
540,208 signatures might sound like a lot, but this was the scene last February in Madison at the protest against Walker's attack on collective bargaining.... With this kind of support, Walker should be out of a job by this time next year.
 
For more information about the recall process, go HERE. For more information about what a friggin' douchpickle Gov. Walker is, visit Monologoues of Dissent HERE.
 
psst...did you know you can get actual real CDs through our Bandcamp site? Like, you can actually hold 'em in your hands and stuff. We normally only have these editions available at our shows, but we need to clear 'em out to make way for The Singles - Season 4 Collector's Edition.
 
We still have a few copies left of The Singles - Season 1 & Season 2 Collector's Editions, as well as the double-CD deee-luxe version of Enter the Flavor Hut.
 
Sorry, Season 3 and The Results of a Higher Mission are sold out....but you can still download those! ;-)
 
Coming in December:
