THE LIBRARY BOOK OF THE WORLD was released by BLOODSHOT RECORDS of CHICAGO in Autumn 2007 in North America and UK/Europe ... Sounds like the shifting sand getting in your shoes and it becomes hard to stand still. The music is off kilter, off balance, sliding around on deck, sea legs giving way, storm movin’ in. We don’t know which way the ship is headed or how many times it’s been back and forth, or if we are cast adrift and forever lost in the mists of Atlanticana, somewhere fatally short of land.
**** current album THE LIBRARY BOOK OF THE WORLD by Danbert Nobacon and the Pine Valley Cosmonauts now available in US and North America on BLOODSHOT RECORDS. now available in Europe (out of GERMANY through Indigo) and UK on BLOODSHOT RECORDS.
Scattered to the four corners, when the good ship Chumbawamba crashed against recently sunken islands in holy rock’n’ roll wars of late 2004 I found myself suddenly adrift. At the mercy of the four winds, with only boy scout lashing skills and a half tin of dubbin to make my own sun scarred hide sea worthy, I washed up in the not-so-new-anymore world. And from the rapidly mutating dnaetrius, not least a new album THE LIBRARY BOOK OF THE WORLD by Danbert Nobacon and the Pine Valley Cosmonauts, released AUGUST 2007 on the venerable Bloodshot Records of Chicago. A couple of tracks from the record are featured here. Also a couple of live in Leeds performances of songs which feature on the album with The Shifting Sand band. And a video for an acoustic (non-album) version of another track above ... more unorthadox spoken word videos coming care of VERBAL BURLESQUE TV

The LIBRARY BOOK OF THE WORLD features the navigational and storm-riding savvy of a crew of mekons/wacobrothers/executioners’ songs outlaws: with Captain Jon Langford on telescope, guitars and compass; first mate John Rice on any and every instrument that has ever been held together by strings, and those fashioned from the ships’ rigging in times of emergency; Al Doughty on ’take a walk on the starboard side’ bass guitar; Dan Massey on "they thought he was a monster but he was a king" drums keeping us upright; and Pat Brennan with the piano keys to lost kingdoms; whilst I strum, holler and attempt to fashion the map from the sea-drenched pages of libraries long since thrown overboard.
Hi Danbert!! thanx a lot for the add and for keep music exciting, independent and dangerous, it's an honor to be on your list!! greetings from the Basque Country, stay rebel!
hope all is well, i got a burning butthole at the moment, ate too much spicy foods. i can hold it...
how've you been?! it's understandable that the CD's might never come..so i'm gonna try at amazon music store on-line to find your CD's..."is your music worth it?"
OF COURSE IT IS, sir! the music's kickin' from bits i've been able to hear...
"few will have the greatness to bend history itself; but each of us can work to change a small portion of events, and in the total of all those acts will be written the history of this generation...it is from numberless diverse acts of courage and belief that human history is shaped. each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring those ripples build a current wich can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance."

so i'm thinking about fighting verbally and physically with Nazis that are coming to Pridefest this friday in milwaukee, wisconsin...whether it's going to be fun or not, i just wanna live! LOL
and also have to fight verbally with church organizations outside Pridefest who are homophobic...
maybe i'll sing acapella versions of HOMOPHOBIA, i met two sisters of perpetual indulgence last year at pridefest..was fun and scary, maybe i'll wrassle me some nuns and we'll get church homophobes away from our festivities..
wish you the best with how it's been with your tour and music and family
i'm going back to my old high school to donate blood today...maybe in the future, sperm... before i lose my virginity and they don't accept my gay sperm! ah! it's true...
i know you must've been having a blast on tour, so i won't bother you with requests upon requests of a possible autograph and such if you want my home address again, please say 'yes!' ha.
