Some New Song Titles

When we heard Matthew from Fluxblog had gotten a hold of some Skeletal Lamping tracks, of course we begged for a listen, but once you let these things out, you never can be sure, so we don't blame him one iota for sticking to his guns. But just to turn the tease up to 11, he let us know he's now gotten a hold of the entire copy of Skeletal Lamping:


"Anyway, I just got the full record today and I can tell you this -- it
looks like Kevin has changed all the song titles!

For example, "Softcore" is now "For Our Elegant Caste", "Paradigm Kisses" is
"Non-Pariel Of Favor", "Exquisite Confessions" is "St. Exquisite's
Confesssions", "Jasmin's Car" is "And I've Seen A Bloody Shadow", "Play With
You" is "Id Engager", and uh, "Mingusings" is still "Mingusings".

- Matthew"

Thanks for the heads-up, Matthew!

New Band Member Confirmed

of montreal's tour manager Mike (m.t. on the E6 Townhall) has confirmed Ahmed is joining the group, and also relieves some tension by letting us know Jamey isn't going anywhere. And then he gets our hearts racing even more for Skeletal Lamping:

"Just so you know, Jamey has not left the band. He is still working on his own stuff though which is amazing. If anyones going to Calgary or Rothbury, you will see him there. As far as Ahmed, you will have to wait til the tour in the fall to see what we've been cooking up, its gonna be awesome."
