The Knights of Infinite Resignation say, "Free Paris Hilton."
Lee Wadlinger seems to have gone into hiding -- likely because of the Cavaliers -- so it's time for me to reappear, I suppose. And I come bearing good news.
The Knights of Infinite Resignation have finally gotten a move on it and are almost finished with their new single, "Paris Hilton & Captain Beefheart"--which title is obviously based on the time the aforementioned Wads freaked out about an obviously Photoshopped picture. He did call last Friday while watching the round-the-clock Paris coverage on FoxNews to relay his observation that, "They showed her wearing the same dress as in the Beefheart picture at one of the press conferences for her own record, so maybe the picture was Photoshopped, but I don't know."
Anyway, the single will round out with three tracks:
- A-Side: "Paris Hilton & Captain Beefheart"
- B-Side: (Surprise cover song)
- C-Side: "Cricket The Bug"
All that's left to record is the vocals for the title track, and then a little mixing needs to be done for "Paris" and "Cricket." A rough mix of "Cricket" appears on the Knights' MySpace Site. "Cricket," notably, features the opening couplet: "Cricket the Bug, it's impossible to write this / when the heavens above are filled with sunken space ships" and explores the seedier side of the fairer sex as portrayed on daytime television, or something.
All kidding aside, the three songs are really super-fantastic. Peace and Rest was good, and you certainly should head over to iTunes to download your copy (link's to the right!), but this new single truly does raise the bar for the Knights. Look for it in late July/early August.
