4 cover songs were played the night we recorded our live record… 3 by us, and 1 by Kevin Whelan of the Wrens (he covered one of our songs, and made it 4 to 5 times better. Kind of a jerk move, really.) So think of this as a little addendum to our live record. Below you’ll find both MP3 and AAC versions of the EP, as well as a file of design media, just in case you want some new images for your phone or desktop. Enjoy it everybody!
Our very own Cameron Nicklaus recently became a quadruple threat: record producer, guitarist, dancer, and now, DRUMMER. (Actually, you might not know that Cam was The Pale Pacific’s first drummer… And widely considered the best one.) Just as he finishes a new 7-inch release for BOAT, he will leave town drumming for our good, good friends Aqueduct (on tour with The Posies and Brendan Benson.) Check below for a date near you. We’ll obviously be at the Showbox on December 11th to cheer him on. Come hang out!
This summer, Calgary’s own Andrew Reist posted an 8 bit, Nintendo-style version of Fortune Folds to our Facebook page, and it’s AWESOME. Let’s face it, the world would be a much better place if you could switch to 8-bit every once in a while. (We’re pretty sure our old bass player and cousin Jared Archer does every once in a while.)
So we leave the invitation open: If you can’t sleep one night, play with a Pale Pacific song in Mario Paint, and we’ll post it here!
For reference, here’s our version:
The Pale Pacific - Fortune Folds
And Andrew Reist’s brilliant version:
