Okay, I’m just going to blurt it out … Plans-&-Apologies-are-not-a-new-band! I might even catch hell from the Bean and Tamboosh for breaking New Band Day rules. But, there, it’s done … It’s too late to turn back … So let’s move on already! Damn. (Bygones.)
In my defense, Plans & Apologies are new to me. And, I’ll wager you a 0.79 GBP or 0.99 cent iTunes voucher they’re new to at least 98.27% or more of you out there. (Seriously, they’ve got just 2748 MySpace profile views, including mine.) What’s more, they’re a testament to will-we-ever-make-money PR and the power of silly publicity emails written by goofy dorks to garner attention in the snatch-n-grab world of the Intertubes.
In honor of British Prime Minister Tony Blair’s stepping down, Plans & Apologies gave advance views of the video and the single “Mel Gibson’s IRAQ!”, part of a double a-side – together with Meetoo – due for release in September from Pandaz Pop and Exercise1 Records.
Enjoy the video? Then use the Intertubes to download the track itself:
Plans & Apologies – Mel Gibson’s IRAQ
If you likes what you hear, you can download their earlier albums for FREE at the Pandaz Pop site. Yes, for free. Meaning, for no monies. This is part of my complicated rationalization for considering them a new band. They seem to make no money. They offer their older albums for free. They haven’t really broken out yet.
If for some reason you don’t like downloads, you can also catch a listen in the Pandaz Pop MySpace zone.
