Larry Livermore Posted September 17, 2011 Posted September 17, 2011 I wonder if they're still friends with Kain Kong... Haven't heard from Kain in a while, but I got an email from his brother today!
alaniluau Posted September 17, 2011 Posted September 17, 2011 The Thing That Ate Larry Livermore? Badass title of the year right there. Oh good, because that and 21st Century Breakdown are my favorites, and the music is so different you can really see how they evolved. I haven't heard Kerplunk yet, but from what I've heard from other people, it's mostly like 1039 in style and the type of songs, so I'm sure I'm going to love it too. It would have sucked if the re-mastered stuff was noticeably different. Kerplunk is, in its own way, the perfect album. The songs are incredibly diverse and the guys' energy on that record can't be topped. Well they do have This Kid and the rest of the tracks from Broadcast This and Regan Macneil, heck, with the stuff they've already recorded once they could put out another album and a couple of EPs, and I imagine they've also already written brand new material on top of that, they have pleeeeeenty of songs to choose from. Heck, I bet they have rerecorded a few of those songs already for an EP or SOMETHING eventually, maybe even a single, heck, just rerecord the Broadcast This EP AS the single for that song Max said they probably weren't going to salvage any other This Kid songs, which is kind of a bummer. I'd be elated with a DBAD-like take of F Word.
Tripe Posted September 17, 2011 Posted September 17, 2011 Haven't heard from Kain in a while, but I got an email from his brother today! Is he still playing music? (Kain, not his brother )
green day is Posted September 17, 2011 Posted September 17, 2011 Is he still playing music? (Kain, not his brother ) Wikipedia says he's a park ranger in California.
pasalaska Posted September 17, 2011 Posted September 17, 2011 new tweet from Larry: Need to tell people a bit more about The Thing That Ate Larry Livermore, but there's so much going on that I just haven't had the time! tease!
lizziebix Posted September 17, 2011 Posted September 17, 2011 new tweet from Larry: tease! Hopefully Tony will get it out of him when he sees him. Hopefully!!
Alan86 Posted September 18, 2011 Posted September 18, 2011 Well Larry tweeted again with a link thar explains everything that's happened up to this point http://larrylivermore.blogspot.com/2011/09/thing-that-ate-larry-livermore.html
norcalgreendayfan Posted September 18, 2011 Posted September 18, 2011 Well Larry tweeted again with a link thar explains everything that's happened up to this point http://larrylivermor...-livermore.html yeah i saw his journal post about it, that sounds awesome and i really can't wait for it to come out
Daughter.of.Rage.and.Love Posted September 18, 2011 Posted September 18, 2011 I hope he also does it in CD, I want to have it/listen to it, but I don't have a record player so buying vinyl would be nonsensical, and I don't like buying digital music at all.
Tripe Posted September 18, 2011 Posted September 18, 2011 Wikipedia says he's a park ranger in California. I think I've read that as well. Perhaps he plays to the bears and mountain lions out there.
pasalaska Posted September 18, 2011 Posted September 18, 2011 Larry's blog post was a great little read! So awesome that it was Joey that sparked all of this.
alaniluau Posted September 18, 2011 Posted September 18, 2011 Fuck yeah Joey! I absolutely cannot wait to give this a spin.
Gwen Stacy Posted September 18, 2011 Posted September 18, 2011 Cool Project! I will be picking this up
Hermione Posted September 18, 2011 Posted September 18, 2011 Great stuff! What a cool little story behind it too.
norcalgreendayfan Posted September 18, 2011 Posted September 18, 2011 Great stuff! What a cool little story behind it too. I know right it's just to awesome. Like the sheer awesomeness of It all is like beyond words.
GDM Posted September 18, 2011 Posted September 18, 2011 Ha! Free guitars to the first 50 who pre-order?
Katarina. Posted September 18, 2011 Posted September 18, 2011 This tweet from Larry made me laugh Someone @GDA thinks The Thing That Ate Larry Livermore is like "a mix CD for a drive to your grandparents' house." Should I go cry now? Anyway, that little story was a great read. I'm actually pretty excited to hear this new compilation record! It's been a long time since I listened to 'The thing that ate Floyd' btw, I don't even have the songs anymore except for Outside (Lookouts) and the one by Operation Ivy.
melissawebster Posted September 18, 2011 Posted September 18, 2011 Larry's blog post was a great little read! So awesome that it was Joey that sparked all of this. Yeah. The apple didn't fall far from the tree with that one did it?
Kristen M Posted September 18, 2011 Posted September 18, 2011 Looking forward to hearing this! Hopefully the demand will be big enough for Adeline to release it in CD format
melissawebster Posted September 18, 2011 Posted September 18, 2011 Great stuff! What a cool little story behind it too. I love when a project has a cool story behind it. Makes it so much more interesting. Ha! Free guitars to the first 50 who pre-order? Surely, that's a joke right?
LauraG Posted September 18, 2011 Posted September 18, 2011 Looking forward to hearing this! Hopefully the demand will be big enough for Adeline to release it in CD format I'm counting on that!
porksoda Posted September 18, 2011 Posted September 18, 2011 I was kind of hoping that Billie had asked Larry to put out the next Green Day record. I always wonder why Green Day haven't moved away from WB Records and put out a CD on an indie label. Still, Adeline has put out some great news lately. First, One Man Army is reunited and recording a full-length for them, and now this. Now all we need is to hear they're putting out the next AFI record and it's going to be more punk rock
alaniluau Posted September 18, 2011 Posted September 18, 2011 Now all we need is to hear they're putting out the next AFI record and it's going to be more punk rock I like the way you think. Also, in my pretty fantasy I see this headline: "Green Day frontman to produce upcoming AFI release".

Probably a mix between not needing to fix a good thing and the fact that an indie label doesn't have the mass distribution power/facilities needed for such a massive band.

I didn't mean tiny and unknown, but along the lines of Adeline or Fat Wreck or something. Plus, a lot of distribution these days is digital distribution.
