One More Thing That's Pretty Neat

New Year, Tough Love

WHO DOESN''T LIKE NEW MUSIC?

EVERYONE LIKES IMAGES

 
It''s true, everyone loves a strong moving image, and of course we did make a video for "Fault Lines," and even if we played it over the sounds of babies screaming, you''d love it and beg to watch it again and again. 

And that is exactly why the song is coming first. We had to know, for our own satisfaction, whether this song really is any good. If we played you the video, you''d smash all your vinyl, make hubcaps of your CDs, and feed all the cassettes to your neighbor''s dog, Jabba. But would you be reacting to the song or the film? Or some third, undiagnosed madness? We''d never know. So let''s see how the song grabs you, and then.[go to next paragraph.]

The video will premiere on Youtube next Tuesday (24 Nov.) at 3pm EST / 8pm GMT?, and we''ll be there typing on the message board - mostly typing exclamation points ("!!!!")! You can watch it at that time or any time afterward. God, you''re going to love it.

Oh, and.

INSTAGRAM LIVE(STREAM) RETURNS 

 
Today at 4pm EST / 9 pm GMT, we''ll be livestreaming from our Instagram page/account/thing. We''ll get back into the habit of doing it weekly, in case you can''t make it today - short notice, we understand. You can use the right-most social media link at the bottom of this email if you don''t know where Instagram is - and in fact, even if you do, the link might save you some arduous typing.

DID YOU CATCH THE "FAULT LINES" VIDEO?

 
This isn''t going to make any sense, but "catch it before it catches you."

ANOTHER LIVESTREAM TODAY

It''s true what they say: in a few short hours, we''ll be back on Instagram Live? for a bit, with a better internet connection than last week, and. an interview with Canadian super-producer Scot Storch! (Catch his cameo appearance in the "Fault Lines" vid if you haven''t already (-; )

See you there! On the intermat! 

Q&A

One at a time.

1) What''s the deal with this "Dump Truck"? Every Tuesday and Friday, the Dump Truck music song series delivers a new track to your door. These are not the pristine, glossy products you''re used to from We Are Scientists. Rather, in the spirit of these strange times, they are a rare look under the hood of our high-performance machine. That is to say, they''re pretty raw; legitimately half-baked. Dog shit. Each one has a spark, though, that makes it special - at least to us. We believe you''ll laugh either with us or at us, and laughter is an important stress-reducer. 

The sixth track in the Dump Truck series drops today, and is available on all streaming services. Here are links to all 6 tracks:

- Back on the Weed
- Jesus Takes a Keytar Solo
- Dad Wars
- Carrot Snout
- T.U.B.
- 2days7hrs 

2) Somebody said about a "Dumpster Dive"? It''s our new podcast. Each episode so far is sort of organized around a Dump Truck track, but that won''t always be the case. (The Dump Truck song is played during the podcast.) Also, we don''t usually talk about the song much. Some things we do talk about are: where commercial airplane pilots poo, horror movies, the nature of knowledge, the innocence of Shawn Mendes, which body odors are offensive, intoxication as inspiration, the relationship between "tubing" and "tubbing," and racist undertones at pizza joints. So much more, too, guys; so much more. 

Dumpster Dive is in all the podcast places, we think (let us know if we left out your preferred pod-pusher). Here are links to a few popular options:

Apple podcasts
Spotify podcasts
Stitcher
Overcast

*** If you like Dumpster Dive and want to help spread its healthful contagion, or if you like us and want to make us think our hobby is more successful than it really is, please rate it and/or hit that subscribe button. Needless to say, this will cost you nothing, which is why we''re not offering to pay you to do it. 

3) You guys are famous live-streamers now? Yes. Among the hundreds of musicians and other public figures polluting the internet with live feeds from their living rooms over the last couple weeks, our daily live-streams on Instagram have achieved a special notoriety among the cognoscenti. Tongues are wagging all over town, and they''re telling a tale of two great pals spreading joy and music and happiness during dark times; many are saying these two guys should be elected president and vice-president of somebody''s country. Hey, we''ll see. In the meantime, we''re going to pare back our schedule some so that we can focus on ramping up quality. Starting next week, catch our live-stream Mondays and Thursdays at 4:15pm EST (21:15 BST / 13:15 PST / 06:15 AEST / 22:15 CEST). NB: We will be streaming this afternoon. 

We''ve got a new song called I CUT MY OWN HAIR, and yes it''s about that, and yes the video will raise your eyebrows and then shave them off

We grabbed the final bits of guitar on this song as we were out the door two months ago, forced from the studio by The Virus Which Shall Not Be Named, many tunes shy of an album, but sitting on what we soon realized was a Very Timely Treasure Egg ( <- also a Harry Potter reference). For as professionally-trimmed hair has become a resource of increasing rarity, the thing we all have come to desire is . courage. The courage, yes, to withdraw from society, to cloister and hibernate and survive on the barest affection and the meanest of company - sure. But also, and maybe most of all, the courage to take scissor to scalp, or just shy of it. To rid ourselves of the curs?d frizzy load encroaching slowly from behind even as masks bestride our snouts.

Perhaps the time is now. You don''t need a fancy pair. Why, Chris bought his scissors at a drug store for the price of a sandwich, and what freedom they delivered. He walks the halls of his home like a king. (Fine, the hall.) And what did it take? Merely this: the knowledge that Keith Murray has been doing it for  y e a r s . 

Really? 

Really. Hasn''t paid for a barber in half a decade or more. (Apologies to the barbers; many will still need you; this isn''t for everyone.) No, but it might be for you, dear listener. If Keith Murray can do it, tend that notorious skull-garden by his own hand, keep it looking not just good but notoriously good, and keep all his ears, fingertips, and eyes in the bargain, then why can''t you?

You''re curious. You should be. Watch the video. Watch it and think: I could do that. Think it and realize it''s true.

Now cue up the song, grab some scissors, and if you''re feeling exhibitionist, film yourself at work. We''d love to see how it goes. 

In case you f*** up

New at the web store. Great for disguising short-term setbacks.
