OLD NEWS DEPT: We haven't had time to update here for some time, but there's plenty of stuff coming out of Mishap Town in the near future:

Adam Beebe just released the second issue of the Mishap literary journal, Crippled by Depression with a new epistolary chapbook titled, Why Don't Nobody Love Me? Examining the ugly and unseemly world of romance and online dating, Adam features his own pathetic and self-depreciating personal ads along with real responses from the lonely women who are unlucky enough to show interest in him and pen and ink drawings of lovely young ladies in various states of undress. This hilarious, depressing and potentially unethical book has so far received rave reviews from a number of degenerates and lowlifes in the "underground publishing scene" and is possibly available at your local indie bookstore or here.

German Cars vs American Homes' epileptic frontman, James Call has been busy recording a new GCVAH album along with a series of insane solo projects that make sense to no one except him. James is also currently working to re-vamp his live band in hopes that their performances will one day live up to his impossible standards. You can follow his antics and hear some of his new tunes here.

Ryan Beebe's Muppet cover combo, the Dead Hensons have just put out their first record - a four song EP featuring four favorites from their energetic live show and it's available only on 7" vinyl. Catch them at one of their highly acclaimed shows or at www.deadhensons.com. In addition, Ryan can be seen in his new band, the Gomorran Social Aid and Pleasure Club. And if you still haven't had enough Beebe at that point, be on the lookout for Ryan and Erin Stamos' documentary short Graceland II about a southern gentleman / lunatic who's devoted his life to collecting Elvis Presley paraphernalia. Check it out at your favorite obscure film festival.

Coming this fall: Photocar 2005! Michael Garlington and various other Mishap Superstars are preparing for this years' epic cross-country Photocar trip. Last Photocar trip, six artists traveled across the continent in an automobile covered entirely in Mike's photos visiting factory workers, bee keepers and circus freaks. These brave souls will yet again conquer the wilds of the American Outback where cell phones don't work and you can't even get decent sushi. This time the Photocar crew will be joined by a full documentary crew so all the debauchery and adventures will be captured for posterity. Mike will also be promoting his new photo book. We're currently planning our route, so if you have an event, happening or location you think Photocar should visit, contact us at mishap_production@hotmail.com.

In addition to all this: we're working to put together a new compilation of some of our most radio friendly tunes... Couch surfing misanthrope and emcee extrodinare, TopR is constantly recording new tracks for Legalize Murder, the follow up to the celebrated, Burning the Candle at Both Ends... We're planning a big follow up event to last year's Mishap Prom and some smaller shows that'll feature more art and music than you can stomach.

Kids - there's hella amazing new projects coming out of Mishap Central in the near future! Sources describe this obscene bevy of talent as "painful" and "unnecessary." We've got the inside scoop on all of the neat new stuff coming outta' mighty Mishap center. Take a gander:

Pow! Along with all these other marvelous masterpieces, the merrie Mishap misanthropes are planning a new CD compilation featuring simply all of your favorite far-out freakpop with songs from Pope John Paul the Third, Jolly James Call, TerribleTed Bond and others! It's sure to be the bee's Knees.

Don't do it. Don't look at the current and upcoming projects of Mishap Productions. Mishap Productions has many projects currently underway that are definitely not worth your attention..

JUST RELEASED!

Crap-core giant German Cars vs American Homes has just finished their new record One in a Million. Recorded by Spencer Chakedis, darling of the New York anti-folk scene, this CD features 17 tracks, none of which have any purpose. Still, it features so many smash hits that listening to the entire CD in one sitting will result in diaherrea and physical seizures. One in a Million is sure to be a favorite among young adults everywhere. GC vs. AH constantly play in and around New York City; their shows are a near-religous experience for those that attend, and usually result in at least 2 suicides.

COMING SOON!

Pope John Paul the Third have spent too much time drinking coffee and playing with their 8-track and not enough time trying to find jobs and girlfriends that love them and will help them settle down. If you are going through a difficult period in your life, you might as well listen to Almost All Real Songs. This CD is a crap-core gem, whose songs should be used as standards of songwriting. Help a starving child... wait, fuck the starving child. Buy Almost All Real Songs.

Pope John Paul III's Ryan Beebe is producing a new batch of folk songs by infamous photographer and drunk, Mike Garlington. Mike Garlington Sings Good Songs is like a sweater made of steel wool that you have to put on to go to a family reunion, only to find that almost your entire family are dead, and the remainder have been changed to a different ethnic background (i.e., Irish-American to Uzbeki-American, etc.). Get laid to this CD! You won't regret it... will you?

This good wizard, Mike Garlington, is also working on a new book of photo-portraits, entitled Desert Homesteaders. This book studies the lives of America's expatriates living in isolation. Mike and Ryan spent last summer on America's beautiful interstate 10, drinking in the hottest parts of the country and collecting material for the book. A fine artistic process from real artists resulting in a touching and powerful work.

Also in the works is Girls on the Subway, a book of voyeur poetry by Skinny-D Kalish with illustrations by visionary pervert, Adam Beebe. It's sure to be a classy addition to anyone's artfully arranged coffee table, alongside Architectural Digest and Freshman Pussy.

AFTER THAT!

An innovate photo-based, re-inked comic book by a group of madmen and one madwoman. This will hopefully be as upsetting as a good David Lynch film.

Hardcore core-core: Bbbbbbbbb by Da Spooj, Spheres to the Rescue by the Spheres, Women and Home Life by GC vs. AH's James Call, and more music by Fluffycombs.

Butt-rockin' crap-core: albums in the works by Dr. Z and the Kenneth Cole Reaction, Nazi Mariachi and the Stereotypical Self-Loathing Jew Project.

DON'T FORGET!

The already-released timeless classics...
