Bio
.. .. .. ...... .. .. .. .. ...... .......... ...... .......... ...... .......... ...... .. .. .. .. .. Hello... I am Edward Bearnaise, The Footage's hubsman and their Reality Liaison Officer. .. .. Hello. .. In 1991 James Dean Bradfeld of the Manic Street Proclaimers preached: "We'll release one hundred albums. One hundred albums, then we split. If it doesn't work, we split anyway. Either way, after one hundred albums, we're finished."..1.. They were finished after four (and made nine). .. .. But: The Footage. Ah, The Footage. The Footage have (famously) written almost 1000 songs (56 according to Iraq Body Count). They already know the title of their 17th album. Fortunately they also know the title of their first album. .. .. So, pick up your ears and, like the lad in ..Der Schrei der Natur.., wear them as earphones to accept your first 1/100th of The Footage: ..The Summit Of Mount Everest Is Marine Limestone.....2.. It will be released all over this "blackened jackstraw land"..3.. in April. .. .. Go figger...4.. .. .. Dr E. L. A. Bearnaise .. .. .. ..Notes.. .. .. ..1.. Just as a kilo of feathers weighs the same as a kilo of lead. .. .. ..2.. How was it made? Brewster Pensen composed 13 capriccios for an 88-piece orchestra. The Footage then arranged them (the capriccios, not the 88-piece orchestra, who won't stand interference) for a 5-piece rock'n'roll band (also called The Footage). Finally, Edward Bearnaise commissioned one single-page poem each from 13 of the best living poets (including Joy Stein, author of ..Vegan Grapes.. and ..Ghostridden..; Theo Therone; RX Leaf; James Tend, who wrote ..Intelligent Dasein..; MJA Joyce and Esther Mannsedt, ..Illth..). These texts were then sung at specific melodies. .. .. ..3.. Cormac McCarthy, ..The Road.. (New York, 2006), p. 160. .. .. ..4.. The Footage are currently at work on ..The Summit Of Mount Everest Is Marine Limestone..'s pursuers (to be released simultaneously): ..Difficulties With Girls.. (lo-fi fertility ballads) and ..Oh No It Isn't.. (Marxist narco-disco). Incidentally the title of their 17th album will be ..Schmasterpiece... So….. .. .. ..Order your copy of The Summit Of Mount Everest Is Marine Limestone from the Footage website now!.. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..
