New 70-song World Party box set and I get an interview with Karl Wallinger. I'm in heaven.
This song is more apt now than ever.

New 70-song World Party box set and I get an interview with Karl Wallinger. I'm in heaven. Nice! Who's releasing it? Actually, i don't know. The release doesn't say. And Ginch, I hope he doesn't cancel SXSW like he did last year. I'm interviewing him via Skype -- is there any way to save the video, my computer-wise friends? World Party Returns with 5-CD “Arkeology,” 70 Previously Unreleased Tracks Spanning 25 Years World Party has confirmed the April 10th release of “Arkeology”: a massive, 5 CD collection of 70 never-before-heard tracks packaged in a unique Any Year Diary for fans’ personal use. Spanning the band’s 25-year history, “Arkeology” is at once a new album—with songs finished as recently as 2011—and an unreleased, unheard history of rare studio gems, live sessions, concert recordings, radio interviews, covers, demos and B-sides. As much a throwback to the 60’s rock that World Party leader Karl Wallinger grew up loving as it is a reinvention of it, “Arkeology” showcases some of Wallinger’s strongest work to date. New songs like “Waiting Such a Long Time” (2008), “Everybody’s Falling in Love” (2011), and “Photograph,”—a sprawling piano anthem recorded over a period of seventeen years (1994 to 2011)—are more evidence of Wallinger’s already-known talent for writing infectious pop hooks. The entire collection is packaged in the Any Year Diary, a 142-page, full-color day calendar for fans’ personal use that features rare photos, clips of articles, and World Party memorabilia from Wallinger’s personal archives, as well as his notes and commentary about various shows and recordings. “The reason it’s all inside an any-year diary,” Wallinger says, “is because I just got so sick of the CD packaging. I’m glad the whole CD format is dying, but I really didn’t want to put something out that was only digital.” “Arkeology” also provides a behind-the-scenes glimpse at Wallinger’s quirky humor and love of studio experimentation with several genre-bending demos, some recorded as early as 1985. A pitch-shifted, effects-heavy rendition of “What is Love All About” (from 1993’s Bang!) for instance, wouldn’t be out of place on a contemporary R&B record. And live versions of familiar hits—including an ascendant crowd sing-along of “Ship of Fools” from Boulder, CO in 1998, and fan favorites like “Love Street” from 2006’s Bonnaroo Festival—capture the band at some of its finest moments. Formed in 1986, as Wallinger’s solo project, (previously of cult heroes The Waterboys), World Party has amassed a collection of hit singles over its history, including "Ship of Fools", "Put the Message in the Box," "Is It Like Today?" and the chart-topping "Way Down Now," while contributing to movie soundtracks for Reality Bites and Clueless. In recent years, Wallinger has taken World Party to the stages of Bonnaroo, Bumbershoot, San Francisco's Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival and elsewhere.

Is there a better two lines to open an album? I think not.

"And God Said Look After The Planet And Man Said 'Fuck You!'"
If you've never heard "Kuwait City", I highly, highly recommend it.

They're putting a lot of those hidden tracks and b-sides on the new box. Nowhere near all of them, though, so my money spent on rarities over the years wasn't wasted....

Got one freelance offer from an old friend, and another to write liners for a new release I'm working on.
I told you that Hazza's thread that put a smile on my face this morning was a good sign.
