Hi everyone! Welcome to another day at Tiny Mix Tapes, where we strive to provide the most original, creative, and accurate editorial content. Today, we’re going to celebrate ME! Why? Well, due to the fact that I’ve already written two stories on Tokyo Police Club, I now have the option of reposting my favorite moments from those stories (according to Mr P’s Big Book of Music Journalism*), and hell if I don’t take advantage!

The first greatest hits story is one I wrote while plastered off of two cups of cheap Smirinoff vodka. I’m a lightweight, so please no e-mails about how big of a wuss you think I am!

Here’s my second, not under the influence (though it may read like it!):

My favorite band in the whole wide world just started a fan club, and I’m in it! I get a free t-shirt and a hat and a poster and access to the online forums, and I get to buy front row seats before YOU and I get to read their super secret blog! However, since I’m promoting the fan club, I get to share some secret info with you! You’re soooooo lucky to be reading Tiny Mix Tapes because you know you don’t have enough money to join the fan club and I do cause daddy said I could. ["When you’re standing there/Tokyo Police Club!"] Gawd, I love that song. Such great indie rock goodness with a little pop touch and robot lyrics! So saweet! OMG! I almost like totally forgot about the super secret info from the fan club that YOU ARE NOT IN! Lolz!

There, that took up some space. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed those Greatest Hits News Stories. Look for Tokyo Police Club’s debut album, Elephant Shell, due in late April on Saddle Creek/Memphis Industries, and if you want some more information on the indie pop rawk sensation, then you should so check out their website here.

If you’ve made it this far in the story, then I thank you for re-reading my stories. I know the first time was hard enough. If you’ve just scrolled down here for the tourdates, then fuck you.

*Mr P’s Big Book of Music Journalism is available online at Amazon.com for $59.99. I’d recommend buying it used, but the sad fact is that no one wants to sell this book after they get their mitts on it. "Simply life-changing and inspirational," according to Mr P’s own description.
