So, last week's show was only one day after the most depressing day of the year. I didn't realize it at the time. They call it "Blue Monday", which in itself was a depressing record as far as Tony Wilson's bank account could attest.

Chances are, you're still totally depressed. I hope it wasn't all about "tha damage", and maybe some good came out of it. Look inward, maybe you'll find some illumination, and while you're at it, ESB is here to provide you with some musical insight. Music is your solace in time of need, so live it up and listen up!

"Hold tight, and make no plans, and don't talk, don't say no words, and be still, now move like this, and hold on, until it kills."

Meanwhile, the backroom looks like a neon-lit dream of heaven!

Vitaminsforyou was kind enough to pass along a copy of the Flesh Python single on vinyl. This is absolutely the last piece of vinyl printed in Canada.

You can get some ordering info and listen to the track here. There was some debate about whether or not this will be the final vinyl product manufactured in our great nation but there's little evidence that any Canadian plants are up for going the vinyl route anymore.

I'm not sure what a Flesh Python is exactly, but I imagine it's a long coil that emerges slowly from your skin in during dark moments of self-doubt. When it's perched and ready to strike, it attacks you with a vicious power, much like the track itself. It's an unforgettable listen, and along with the various remixes by the likes of Jokers of the Scene and Stop Die Resuscitate, it's a release you won't want to miss.

In other news...

More Proof drops into the Drake, on Thursday, and their friend STA releases the "In Living Colour" single at the same venue on the 26th. It's got a killer remix by D.I.M. on the flipside.
