In celebration of SHIT HAPPENS… THE SERIES we had no choice but to release SHIT HAPPENS… THE SERIES… THE DVD, after which it felt appropriate that we go on SHIT HAPPENS… THE TOUR, and for it, it was a must that we make SHIT HAPPENS… THE TOUR POSTER. This is what happens when HERO DESIGN got ahold of my shit bird. Only 150 made. Hand numbered and signed by myself. For sale on tour (CLICK HERE for dates). And I ain’t blowin smoke when I say these fuggers are goin quick!

that DVD that I wrote all about below is out now everywhere. it’s really good. you should go get it.

Every Wednesday for the past 12 Wednesdays ETID has been breaking your hearts by giving you only 4 or 5 minutes episode that we like to call SHIT HAPPENS…THE SERIES. We read your tweets and your comments and the complaints were all the same, “this is too good, I need more!”. Well one of the first things I learned when I started selling drugs at age 12 was that if you give out a little bit for free, you get ‘em hooked! So at this point, you can consider yourself addicted and should expect withdrawals shortly. Your remedy, however, arrives on October 26th. SHIT HAPPENS… THE SERIES.. THE DVD contains those 12 episodes you saw, but in their full TEN minute versions, before being cut down for the internet. On top of that extra hour of episode footage, you get ANOTHER hour of bonus material that didn’t get included in the episodes, AND an incredible 30 minute reel of footage shot by sound wizard Zack, when Doug was too old and bald to be out on tour with us. Oh, did I mention that it ALSO comes with a free NEW JUNK AESTHETIC cd too??? I didn’t? Well it does. All for like 12 bucks. Already have a New Junk Aesthetic cd? Well my gut says that you’re a liar. You probably stuck your dirty little ipod into your pirate friend’s filthy computer, clicked on our 13 amazing songs, then dragged them over and plunked them down in your library right between “Elton John” and “Exodus”. But if you did get your own copy, then sorry, you’re just going to have to have another one. SO PRE-ORDER NOW RIGHT HERE! Because I dare you to find a copy of the original Shit Happens in a store. Exactly.

Kinkos’ don’t exist in Europe. That might be a good think for Europe, actually. Not good for me, however, because I really wanted to show off the pen and ink drawing I did for my buddies at ALTERNATIVE PRESS for their 25th anniversary art show. You may recall that I did a painting earlier this year for their first gallery showing in LA, but this one is in NYC and is later this month (see flyer below). I found the illustration to be rather awesome, so I wasn’t too discouraged by the lack of a quality scan, and thus, uploaded a digital picture anyway. I apologize for the less-than-perfect/off-centered quality, but it’s better than nothing. Maybe. The drawing itself was very challenging, because it was one of those situations where the content was unassigned and I was told to make whatever I want. A dvd bonus feature on my brain would inform you at this point, that making “whatever I want” can sometimes be the toughest direction to receive, on account of a paralyzingly enormous amount of possibilities. For this, I just started drawing and never really stopped, and it ended up looking pretty cool once hung up on a wall! If you go to the show, let me know how it is! The roster is one I am incredibly proud to be a part of!

I made a JORDAN BUCKLEY WORLD WIDE FACEBOOK PAGE so go be a “fan” and keep up on all of my latest information. You know, just incase you miss it on my twitter, myspace, website, or through email. To be honest, it’s the easiest of all those when it comes to interacting, and i’ve been giving away free shit to celebrate, so see you there!

THIS SHIRT and THIS SHIRT are almost completely sold out, and in order to make room for the upcoming winter 2010 line I may not be reprinting them! So act now or forever hold your peesh!

ETID needed a drawing for the upcoming SHIT HAPPENS… THE SERIES? dvd that is coming out in October, so I brought the original New Junk Aesthetic drawing back out and drew a bird shitting on his head… in my own way. I’m actually really thrilled with how it turned out. I love illustrations that morph into each other. It won’t be long until I’m submitting those fold up drawings for the back of Mad Magazines.

To celebrate the release of “Shit Happens… The Series” (out October 19th on Epitaph Records) EVERY TIME I DIE will be going out and playing small, sweaty, packed in clubs with TRAP THEM and HOWL. More gigs than an Apple store! All hand picked by the band! Gonna be a ripper, so mark your calendars!

Here are some ink drawings that I may use or that may not use. “Useless” is such an ugly word, though. We’ll just say these guys are on deck.

This month’s ALTERNATIVE PRESS (issue #267) did a feature on guitar players and they were nice enough to ask me to be involved. I’m sure they weren’t expecting me to reject the idea of a couch photoshoot, nor were they expecting me to demand that I be flown to the middle of the desert to recreate the movie poster for “Six String Samurai”, but that is EXACTLY what happened. This was not shot in front of a white sheet, and the background was not edited in later on a computer.
