Eric "The Cute One" Copeland, founding member of Black Dice, is going solo AGAIN with Alien in a Garbage Dump August 18 via Paw Tracks. But you, being the fancy-schmancy Black Dice fan, probably already knew this. Shit, you probably own all their albums, all their EPs, all their 7-inches, all their tour-only CD singles, and all side-project releases, not to mention Copeland's 2007 solo debut Hermaphrodite (TMT Review). You also know a friend who's cousin ran into Black Dice at The Pink Pussycat (on West 4th Street in Greenwich Village) jerking off to nudie magz. Hell, you're probably such a big fan of Copeland (Tell-All TMT Interview) that you've already heard the entirety of Alien in a Garbage Dump before we even caught wind of the album!!
Big deal: seven of the songs were released under the same title as a vinyl EP on Paw Tracks last year, and the other six were released on a vinyl EP titled Al Anon via Catsup Plate. So yeah, you're not so cool after all, MR. FUCKING HOT SHOT.
