Debut of the brand new song UNFRIEND! This was the first time it was played live before a crowd. There is a little line mess up in the first verse of the song. I sing, “I thought it was first” and it should have been “I thought it was FINE at first.” Other than that I think it came off pretty well. Download this version though because I’m thinking of rewriting the whole first verse. Would love to know what you think of the new tune! As always you can name your own price for the download or snag it for free. EIther way, enjoy!

Okay, here’s a unique download. On January 11th, I played BOTH rooms at Flappers! Here’s the audio from BOTH shows! First a short set in the YooHoo Room and then a full set in the Main Room as part of Uncle Clyde’s Comedy Contest. As you’ll hear, the Main Room show was a little rough, but I think I pulled it out okay. Here’s the set list (yes, there’s two repeated songs, but it was different audiences):

Limited Edition Pre-Order Throwing Toasters – Favorites

Grant — Thu, 05 Jan 2012 20:21:47 +0000

Since several people have asked, we’ve decided to open up LIMITED pre-orders for Throwing Toasters – Favorites. Please note we’re still a few weeks away from release, but if you want to pre-order now you can. We’re looking to have the CDs by mid February. Pre-order is open only to the first 20 copies of the new CD!

People who pre-order will receive:
- The new CD FIRST! The moment the CDs arrive from the plant, they’ll be shipped out to those who pre-ordered before being shipped to retailers (CD Baby, Amazon) and before being put up for sale here on ThrowingToasters.com
- A discount on the CD. The CD will sell for $14.99 plus shipping. Those who pre-order get it for $10.00 plus shipping.
- People who pre-order get their CD personally autographed by the WHOLE band! Yes, Dirk, “Musty” and Timmy will sign it too.
- Within 24 hours of placing your pre-order, you will be emailed a MP3 of GLOBAL WARNING, the #3 most requested song on the Dr. Demento show for 2011.

PRE-ORDER today because this special LIMITED pre-order session is only open to the first 20 copies of the CD sold. Once the CDs have shipped from the plant, pre-orders will be closed.

Coming Soon…

Grant — Wed, 04 Jan 2012 21:06:05 +0000

Coming mid to late February or early March at the latest, a brand new (sort of) Throwing Toasters CD. There have been many more Throwing Toasters gigs as of late and what I’ve learned is that people want CDs. The Everything (almost) MP3 CDs sell, but people still want CDs. So I figured what I’d do is create one CD with all the Throwing Toasters ‘favorites’ on it, plus a few ‘previously unreleased’ songs, so that I could sell them at shows.

Here’s the track list (subject to change):

01. N.R.L. (Nursery Rhyme Lawyer Song)
02. Rainbow’s End (The Generic Irish Song)
03. Bad Influence
04. Girl (You Can Feed My Hamster)
05. Global Warning – PREVIOUSLY UNRELEASED
06. The R.A. Song
07. Mrs. Claus
08. Hip Chick
09. SkrewU
10. Sometimes I Wonder
11. Things I’d Do 4 U
12. Debbie (New Millenium Version)
13. Patrick The Spoiler (Live)
14. Grandma’s Song (Live)
15. Living @ Home (Live)
16. New Hampshire (Live)
17. Online Love (Live) – PREVIOUSLY UNRELEASED ‘burnt’ VERSION
18. Debbie (Live)
19. Cheese Enough
20. I Really Like To Eat Potatoes – PREVIOUSLY UNRELEASED ON CD – (and when you hear it you’ll know why)

What do you think? Any glaring omissions? You may have time to sway me as the CD won’t be finalized for another day or so.

Happy New Year!

Throwing Toasters was called in for a last minute M.C. gig at Flappers, so this set is shorter than usual. It’s also pretty much the same songs as always. Looking to mix things up a little in the new year and work some older songs into rotation. And maybe, possibly, write something new? Maybe.

At any rate, there’s a donation link below, if you feel so inclined!
