So, how are they gonna smuggle in the drugs?

i’m not sure if this is a promotional campaign or a record label punishment. “WHAT??? What do you MEAN you spent your advance on hookers, blow, and mexican Coca Cola???? That’s it. You’re getting locked in The Bubble til this album is DONE. What? NO you can’t have a shower curtain for “privacy!” MAYBE you should’ve thought of PRIVACY before you snorted a can of soda out of a hooker’s ass!”

From the Pernice Brothers’ mailing list: “First, I am very, very angry, because some band that I will not name, because that’s what they want, stole my idea for the creation of the next Pernice Brothers record. This unnamed band has agreed to let their record company seal them in a huge plastic bubble where they’ll write and record their new record. I totally planned to seal the Pernice Brothers in the Corita Kent gas tank off the Southeast Expressway (sans matches of course) to make their next record. But now I can’t. I formed an exploratory committee and everything. So instead, the band will hole up in the attic of a lovely bungalow near Ashmont Station in Dorchester, which, when I feel like it, serves as the world headquarters of Ashmont Records and when I don’t feel like it, serves as my home. I can’t wait. There’s nothing quite like a house full of guys hopped up on coffee who think they’re really funny when I’m trying to watch TV. Charlie’s looking forward to it though. He’s a lot more like them than he is like me, if you know what I mean.”
