From MySpace:

REGISTER TO VOTE, HIPPIES. DILLINGER UPDATE.
Category: Music

Ok check it out. If you live in the United States, this is pretty urgent. The voting registration deadline is coming up, go here to see when the deadline is for your state. Some are in like a week! That means that your registration has to be done and postmarked ON OR BEFORE the date next to your state. We aren't coming out to endorse a candidate or influence your vote, we're just trying to encourage you TO vote. That's the important thing. It's very easy to be an armchair revolutionary, or to say to yourself "ah it doesn't matter it's not gonna affect my life". Even if you don't think either of the candidates is Captain fucking America(how killer would that be?), you should view your status as a citizen of this country as enough reason to voice your opinion. Not just on the candidates, but on the propositions in your state! Find out what they are! Politicians pass propositions all the time that you never know about, propositions that affect your life on a statewide local level, that they sometimes HOPE you don't find out about. If you believe in larger budgets for education in your state, have a stance on immigration, gay marriage, abortion rights, everyday shit like money to fix the potholes down the street, etc...VOTE! You can go here and click on your state to see the list of issues that YOU will have the ability to influence this November 4th. If it doesn't give you a major hard on to be able to directly shape the future of the society you live in, you can never bitch about taxes, the man, civil rights, anything. Ever. You forfeit your right to bitch. So click on this link to register to vote if you are over eighteen and haven't already. As you know, it's really easy for a lot of things to get royally fucked up in a very short period of time, so don't be a sloth. For that matter, don't be a moron and vote for Sloth from "The Goonies" either in the write in section of the ballot just because you don't like McCain or Obama. Pick one. Imagine someone has a gun to your head and you are forced to pick. Roll the dice. Don't be a pussy. 1992 Eddie Vedder would come kick your ass if he knew you weren't voting! He would stand on a stool in your living room and write stuff on his arm about being pro-choice while looking super intense and burning holes in people with his eyes and sending flannel shirt shredding sonic booms out of his voice box. Why do I get the feeling nobody will get that reference? Because I'm old that's why!




Oh right! Our band! Hmmm lets see. What's new? We are busy mailing out T-Shirts. Nonstop. The people in line behind us everyday at the post office HATE us by the way. We're not putting any new designs up until everything has been mailed out, so sit tight. Then the epic Mouth Of Ghosts design will be up.

Ben Weinman has been holed up like a mad scientist blasting out the furious Dillinger Escape Plan insanity that will eventually find it's way onto our next release. When Ben says that the stuff he's been writing has actually been giving HIM a headache, you know it's gonna be pretty intense.

The first Spylacopa EP is coming out in November. Links to early reviews, interviews, articles, and info can be found over on that page. Check it. www.myspace.com/spylacopa.

I heard a rumor that there's a Shit Yeah!!! release on the horizon too. Stay on the look out. www.myspace.com/huntthecougar.

We have no touring plans for the immediate future, but you can be sure that we'll take a break from writing at around the halfway point and head out for some quick runs, so that we don't lose our minds(probably too late).

For info on everything and anything Dillinger related, you can check back here, or remember to check out Spreading Like Wings if you really wanna dork it up.
