robthepenguin Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 This has been rumored for months and months. It was finally confirmed by the band yesterday in a post on their blogspot. "WE WILL HAVE A NEW FULL-LENGTH RECORD AVAILABLE COME NOVEMBER 14TH, 2012. WE WILL BE OPERATIONAL AND PLAYING SHOWS IN NYC AND FAR-AND-AWAY SOON. WILL KEEP YOU POSTED." http://forgetters.blogspot.com.es/2012/09/we-will-have-new-full-length-record.html This is all the info available at this time, cause they're jackasses. It'll probably be available for purchase through midheaven like the 2x7" that came out in 2010. Even though it looks like he's still working with Kevin Mahon (ugh), I'm pumped.

LIGMA_BALLZ Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Wordd read about this too, saw them play and all the material they played that wasnt on the double 7" was awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniele Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 I hope it will sound a way better than the 2x7" and that J. Robbins recorded it.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robthepenguin Posted September 10, 2012 Author Share Posted September 10, 2012 I think that was the rumor. Here was a post from someone who supposedly contacted the studio and asked them about it... Hi, gang. I'm hoping to revive some of your spirits. I did a little bit of digging on this forgetters records and have found out some interesting things. First of all, J. Robbins did not play bass on the record. I was told by the studio they recorded at that actually played "Dale Nixon" played bass. Please reference the Wikipedia article below, and you might be surprised who that could be. I see two very big possibilities. I also have a tracklist that I'm going to post below. This was followed by dumb speculation as to who Dale Nixon could be. Here's the track listing...

LIGMA_BALLZ Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 What happened to the chick bass player? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suchashorttime Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 A lot of these songs are floating around the internet / live on YouTube. They are awesome. I can't wait to hear recorded versions of Hoop and Swan and I'm Not Immune. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robthepenguin Posted September 11, 2012 Author Share Posted September 11, 2012 I haven't gotten around to checking out a lot of these. I can't remember if I heard forgetters do Ribbon Head but that was one of my favs while Thorns of Life were around. I'm not sure what happened with Caroline. I think she quit but am not positive on that. She did pretty much all of the promotion shit which is why nobody knew anything for so long.

mike Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 dale nixon is the fake name greg ginn used on "my war" when he played bass. so i would guess it's blake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robthepenguin Posted September 11, 2012 Author Share Posted September 11, 2012 There have been a couple people who have used it in the past. Blake is the best bet, but I wouldn't rule out J Robbins. Also - I just stumbled upon this article for those who care. It's pretty much saying everything we know at this point. http://nationalunderground.org/2012/09/10/not-forgotten-forgetters-announces-full-length/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rochambo Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 I would love a recorded version of Stupid Libations Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffnovak Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Well, I'm excited. I'm glad that I'll finally be able to hear the songs recorded! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seafoamgreen Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 I like to think that if Blake and J were playing in a band together, I would somehow just know. Like my Jaw-dey sense would kick in. My two favorite musicians of all time, easily. I don't dig forgetters stuff I've heard at all, which is super heartbreaking to me. But maybe there's some magic on this full length (that I'd buy even if it was just 40min of Blake thinking about stuff silently) that I've been missing.

nyhi Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 anyone know if this will be the only version of the album? probably right? It's more 'punk' to make a basic black version or something.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robthepenguin Posted September 14, 2012 Author Share Posted September 14, 2012 I have mixed feelings about the clips... I preordered without listening, though. I'm still gonna listen to it a bunch when I get it. We'll see how it goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suchashorttime Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 I'm stoked on the clips. I'm kind of happy he didn't record the songs he's been playing for a few years the same way. Musically, I'm really interested in how he's gonna pull this off live. Maybe they're bringing in a keyboard player? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atarirec Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 What ever happened to the Bivouac repress did I miss it? Per Adam (posted on 12 Aug - Facebook) "it'll be out before the end of this year. Just finishing now. The vinyl sounds great. Chesterfield will also be reissued."

kouka Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 wow, I was going to order it and not listen to the clips, but curiosity was killing me.. I can't believe how rock-opera-shitty some of these clips sound. why couldn't they/he just keep it simple and stripped down - a lot of these songs rule live. I even hear the dual/trippled/quadrupled Dear You vocals mixed in. god dammit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGMA_BALLZ Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Might just wait for this to pop up in store. Have to admit the samples sound kinda lackluster. When i saw them live they ripped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
