+05.05.2008+ atmosphere is MTV's artist of the week, watch the videos now!
starting today thru the rest of the week, you'll see a lot of videos featuring atmosphere on MTV.
some are funny. some are silly. all in all it was fun to do.
some of you may have a tendancy to frown on our involvement with mtv, and for those of you that feel that way, please take a moment to reflect on the positives. every 30 seconds they give to a couple of idiots like us, is 30 seconds taken away from some other idiots. every new person they expose us to, is another potential piece of this movement that all of us take part in.
once you've considered that, feel free to hate, or feel free to love.
or just feel free.
keep it moving.
most of the spots were filmed here in minneapolis, and the on stage performance is from the Webster Hall show in New York. enjoy!

special, so we created a deluxe version of the album, a gorgeous 40
page gold embossed hard cover book featuring an illustrated
children's story written by myself (slug) and a bonus dvd with over
an hour of live footage and extras, awesometastic.
stop by your local indie or chain store this weekend for some amazing
deals on the album.

target are selling this thing (sorry jordon).
and if you are anything like me, support the mom and pop, and go hit
up the local independant record store to pick it up.
and if your moral code is through the roof, come get it at our record
store Fifth Element
we also did a deluxe edition with itunes, that has a bonus song
"vanity sick," a booklet with lyrics, and 2 live videos from the dvd
"sad clown bad dub 13."
thanks for all the support!
i freakin' love you.
