from a wolf parade message board via atease:

"So, I got the chance to talk to Dan quite a bit tonight and we got along quite well. This man is so awesome and really social!

First when he came out I asked him, "So, how many questions about Wolf Parade will you be able to tolerate tonight?" Just joking because I figure a lot of people like to talk to him about Wolf Parade. He just says that I can ask as many as I want. So, here are the facts he gave me:


* June 17 is the official release date.

* The album is indeed 9 tracks. But when I asked him if they were long, he said they were.

* There is no official name for the album yet. He said he gave Kissing the Beehive to pitchfork just to **** with them. Same deal with Pardon My Blues (not sure if that one was to pitchfork as well; I didn't catch it).

* Subpop wants to give copies to people but there's still no album name. Dan thinks that the album will end up being leaked without having a name! He also said that he doesn't even care if it's leaked since they don't even make much money at all from them. I'd definitely expect an April leak...

* Handsome Furs has a lot of new material! They're planning to add other members to the band. A drummer for sure to replace the drum machine but not sure who else. He said it'd be close friends, though.

* After Handsome Furs gets done, they're going to do some Wolf Parade and then get a new album of Handsome Furs material out, and then...

* They're going to start recording more Wolf Parade! He actually said that now I was the only person who knew this. Pretty sweet! I might have the order slightly wrong on when they're doing more HF and WP stuff, but they are! I think I got it right, though.

* I asked him about the old new Wolf Parade songs. You know, the ones they said they were going to shelve. He said they ARE planning on releasing these on EPs or something! I'm ecstatic.

* I asked him if he has a wolf obsession because I do and I've always wanted to know this. Well, he's not obsessed with wolves, but he did say he likes them!

* Has a custom made guitar by First Act or something like that. Doesn't really matter to me but some guy by me wanted to know if I knew what kind of guitar that was and I know nothing about it so I just asked Dan for him. ...and Dan goes crazy on guitar! So fun to watch.

I don't doubt that claim but I'm kind of shocked he didn't make much off of Queen Mary it was a very popular release.

im listening and it's not as captivating as "Apologies" was for me. I'll probably end up loving it after a couple more listens, but I was immediately blown away by "Apologies". It sounds like someone sucked out all of their energy, kind of dissapointing.
