A note from Flansburgh -- "As we all escape the NYC Republican National Convention for our show at Cornell, we are also busy packing our bags for big UK shows. Happy to announce the Future Soundtrack for America compilation debuts at No. 56 on the Billboard Album chart with 25,000 copies sold. If you're interested in this citizens' group that the President calls 'a shadowy organization' visit moveon.org. Should you simply want to get the album, you may do so here: http://www.barsuk.com/web.cgi?bark037 See you at the show!"
