….or, at least most of it is. It seems Deerhoof - Satomi, Greg, John and Edward - wanted to give us all an early taste of their forthcoming album Offend Maggie (out Oct 7 on Kill Rock Stars) via MySpace stream. And yet, technology has just not been cooperating with the gang; a recent blog posting on the band’s MySpace reveals the following:
“Due to the brand new Myspace players we have having problems uploading our new album “Offend Maggie” that is supposed to be streaming all weekend. Hopefully it will be fixed soon - in the meantime there are a few tracks that made it up.”
All in all, 10 of Maggie’s 14 cuts are up for your listening pleasure at the moment: “Jagged Fruit”, “Numina O”, “Eaguru Guru”, “Fresh Born”, “This Is God Speaking”, “Family Of Others”, “My Purple Past”, “Basketball Get Your Groove Back”, “Don’t Get Born”, and “The Tears And Music Of Love”. Add the MP3 for the title track offered below and we’re up to 11 tracks total, in other words, a hell of a lot of Deerhoof to tide you over until October 7th. Still, there’s the chance the rest of the album could be up and streaming at any point, so be sure to stay vigilant with your Deerhoof-watching. Try practicing by staring intently at the following video of the band in the studio during the sessions for Offend Maggie…
