FUCKING. FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-!!!! From BBD's Facebook -
"Fucking dream come true.
Big Black Delta will be opening up for Janes Addiction in August.
Much love @davenavarro
Now I dont have to buy a ticket."
Jane's just announced a few shows in August, one of which is in Nebraska, on a Saturday (the 25th). I'm nearly shitting myself with excitement!! Won't miss this show for the world.
oh great. one of my favorite bands opening for pure shit. sounds great.
I love Jane's Addiction! It'll be a great show to mark the end of summer, even if it's gonna be the weekend after I start uni. Although I don't really see BBD as a fitting opener for them, hey, I'm not gonna miss a chance to see two favorites together.
Got my tickets, though! Missed out on general admission, but I got center seats in the third row, so I guess that's pretty good too...Is it too much to speculate that we can expect a new release of some kind in the next couple of months to coincide with the tour? Other than the IFUCKINGLOVEYOU single? It seems pretty likely to me...
I'm gonna be all over that single! In case anyone's missed the news from Wednesday:
Big Black Delta fucking loves you...and he's releasing his 'IFUCKINGLOVEYOU' single 9th July - keep your eyes peeled for some jaw dropping remixes too
A longer version of the above update is written here, though most of us are probably aware of the stuff that they mention. New album supposedly coming this year.

Master of Bates, haha. I totally missed that. :P
So he's leaving coming home? And releasing ifly again?
Indeed! I agree completely!
Which dates are BBD playing? Some of the shows says "support TBA" and some list other bands (like the Boston show).
According to BBD's announcement on Facebook, it's all of their August dates. So I'm not sure if they just mean the ones were just announced or if that includes their other August shows...The new ones, for sure, at least.
The Boston date in August says "Band of Skulls" is playing. The CT date doesn't list anyone. When I went to the Foxwoods website it makes it seem like only JA is playing. I wonder if this is just like when he opened for M83 and then Joy Formidable and he only plays the CA dates.
Why the fuck would Band of Skulls open for JA?
I once clicked the "management" button on BBD's website, and unless I'm mistaken Dave Navarro was once listed on the same management site. I can't recall if BBD had a different site linked at that time or if Nerve is the same. If I remembered this correctly, this may be the connection.
Also, this is pretty new: www.facebook.com/mastersmastersbatesbates

I forgot about this vid from 07. Navarro had mellowdrone on his show, here are two video performances:

Well, if anyone figures out exactly what dates BBD are playing, please post. Some dates say Band of Skulls. One date said Die Antwoord or whatever. I think another had a different band. It seems like their using multiple bands. There's no way I would go unless BBD were playing, which it doesn't seem likely at the dates near me...unless it's the Foxwoods date because Boston says Band of Skulls.

Cool. I'll have to see about the CT date. My grandmother gets free tickets to the shows at Foxwoods. I could catch BBD and then bounce.
Here's a peek at some IFLY Single promo art.

Well, it looks like the remixes are Sei A, Jimmy Edgar and Throwing Snow. Good ole LeonardMcGeonard is a B-side, too.
Here's a bit on the Throwing Snow remix; what do you guys think of it? I'm actually pleasantly surprised by it; I generally don't like remixes much.
I've also heard Sei A's work on Man Without Country's "King Complex". I'm not too big a fan of that one so I'm not expecting much there.
Aww, I was hoping one of his new tracks would make an appearance for teaser purposes. Oh well, it may not really the place for it anyway.
I just saw Caspar tweet and later confirm some BBD lyrics from The Zebrah, so I corrected the lyricwiki page. That site has lyrics I compiled from old ETS with minor changes after longer listening times. Asked Caspar about it, he said Jon will never release official lyrics . Things can change, but he doesn't have a good track record for this.

The Jimmy Edgar mix is streaming now... It's interesting and maybe worth a few more listens here & there but it's nothing fantastic in my opinion.
So "Riflemen are Googling love," eh? Haha, nice catch. But I guess we'll never know the rest for sure...

What is this.Originally Posted by Big Black Delta on Facebook
Uhh, well anyway, I guess we can use the lyrics posted below it to amend our transcribed lyrics of the original, which I'll get to doing now.
Also, there will apparently be a new version of the IFUCKINGLOVEYOU single with a bonus remix by N-Type & Surge. It'll be out on the 24th. I guess I'll wait to buy the single til then.
Never heard Surachai's music before?
Haha, no, not besides his Hold On Let Go remix (which I'd listened to once and never again; now I remember why). At first, I wasn't really sure whether the cover was a joke or not...

Don't think anyone's posted this, but there's a pretty good fan news site here: http://bbdarchive.wordpress.com/
It says recently there's been a promo with a radio edit on it. Can't wait to hear that...
