+ Lee produced it.

good point, but I'd change the word *liking* with the word *knowing*

I wouldn't... because they sucked complete ass, and there is no way around that. I would like to hear this album though. Sounds pretty tight, especially compared to what utter garbage they've done before.

...

Does it seem like I didn't like them?

I like em, but wouldn't know them if not Thurston's label. so it's bit the other way around. yeah, they didn't released something for everyday listen, but see it live thats what's interesting. and actually yeah, this album is something what you can call an album (especially when we talk about MM releases). actuall songs and stuff. you haven't hear it yet? have a listen then and let us know.

ive mysteriously received the leaked copy and i've been playing it a lot lately. IT FUCKING RULES!!!

anyway, what's up with not being able to preorder vinyl? cmon ecstatic pax, get your business shit together.

also, i kindly demand rereleases of all the markers shit that's sold out. it goes for a ton of money at ebay, and i am but a proletarian.

--

ps- i am going to see them live this year if i have to march to get there. with luck, i'll break into the backstage once more and make offerings to the holy priestess. ha!

--

pps- i dont give 2 fucks about their "label". the label's job is to promote the band & handle the production. please don't fuck it up! and yes, PRESALE please. gracias.

Magik Markers Boss
 

The vinyl for Boss should be available by October exclusively from Arbitrary Signs. Some releases from our back catalogue are still available. email:

petenolan@hotmail.com for information on this and all Arbitrary Signs releases.

best,

Pete

you know.

i got really fucked up the other night and listened to this record. and what do you know? it was pretty "boss"!

HAHAHAHA *dodges tomato* HAHA GET IT IT'S "BOSS" CUZ THE ALBUM IS CALLED "BOSS" THEN WE HAVE THAT THREAD ON STUPID SLANG, IT'S "BOSS" OH MY GOD *wipes tear from eye*

...

in all seriousness, I've given the markers lots of shit, some of it jokingly, some of it not... but this is a step in the right direction. i've found myself going back to this disc repeatedly. i mean, it's no bride of no no, but it's better than a bunch of pointless skronk. lee's production is terrific. and the "songs" route is a good route to go down. i expect terrific things from the markers in the future. and i may just have to pick up the vinyl for this. peace.

ECSTATICLY!!!!!!!

"taste", video by heidi dieh.

That song and it's accompanying vid are very cool.

If I had my own band, we would cover this before its release. CUZ WE'RE CUTTING EDGE

Yes, like all the people who've gone about them on this very forum over the past few years, before I Trust My Guitar etc.

That song sucks. Who does she think she is, Catpower? Bring back the formless sound.

ha ha-- they always have-- you're just finally getting it. :p

magik markers have always been one of the best bands around.

Until now.

nah the old shit sucks.

what i meant by "get" was simply that they were awesome BEFORE they changed the style of the music, whether you were able to realize it or not. i did not mean that there was some sort of interstellar message encoded in it. which there is, and you can't hear anyway... but yeah, there is.

hah.

to tell you the truth, boss sucks really badly, it's like they found a different way to be awful.

again, mediocrity, now in song form.

too bad they didn't want to stick with the road pussy sound, they were going places there.

Ha ha ha ha, right.
