We've been holding off on posting this until we had all the release stuff worked out, and it was painful.

Deleted Scenes on DISSONANCE

If you missed us on DISSONANCE Radio, here's a link to the podcast. DJ Danger Mike hosts, Deleted Scenes guest-DJs.

Here's the link: http://dissonance.libsyn.com/4-5-11-deleted-scenes

And here's some fact-checking:
--- Ahmad Zahir--the Afghani Elvis--was not exploded; his tomb was exploded. He was killed in an alleged auto accident, which is widely considered to have been an assassination. Here is a short biography that details the political circumstances more clearly than I could: http://www.afghanmusik.com/singers/ahmadzahir.php.
--- The Lifetones discussion assumed that Charles Bullen wrote lyrics for This Heat, which is probably wrong. It was probably Charles Hayward.
