Despite our continued insistence that this mp3 crap is merely a fad, we have relented and are pleased to announce that Doomtree False Hopes is now available from itunes (among other places). Now when you only want one DTR song you won’t have to wait for us to mail you a tiny CD. Amazing. We’ll continue to make new releases and old stuff from the catalog available, and will let you know whenever that happens. We’re riding this bicycle-built-for-nine directly into the present.

We’re also happy to announce that the Doomtree crew will be headlining the Fifth Element stage at Soundset ’08 on May 25th in Minneapolis. It’s going to be the most fun you ever had in the parking lot of the Metrodome, and if it’s not we should hang out, because you seem like somebody who really lives their life to the max. Buy tickets at the Fifth Element or from the Master of Tickets.

Thanks to City Pages for naming the Blowout 3 the “Best Concert of the Past 12 Months.” Y’all make us blush. Shucks.
