CLAWJOB ON THE INTERNET UPDATE ROUND UP! May 5, 2009
There's been a lot modicum of Clawjob-related activity on the internet lately. This post is a handy, one-stop guide to it all! Intelligent web surfers are advised to print this page and keep it in their wallets at all times.
BLAM! Clawjob is teaching the whole world how to sing on Clawjob's blip.fm station. Sign up and experience the joy! It's like Twitter with music.
SLAM! Speaking of which, Clawjob is also on Twitter. As soon as the band gets 100 followers on the service, they have vowed to buy a hot dog for one of them, chosen at random. Get in on this amazing offer while you can!
To achieve the beautiful sequential art style, the band spent forty million dollars hiring 400 of the best comic book artists in the world to collaborate on the video's design. The results, despite consisting of the best artwork ever put to paper, were deemed unsatisfactory by Clawjob, who then did all of the artwork themselves.
"Slice Me Up" is the second track from Clawjob's historical concept EP, Manifest Destiny. The song details the plight of a soldier experiencing the ups and downs of Civil War battlefield surgery. The EP is available for sale at the Clawjob store,Amazon (CD and digital), and iTunes.

CLAWJOB IS NOW ON BLIP.FM! WHAT THE HELL IS BLIP.FM? April 29, 2009
As last.fm speeds over the edge of a cliff, tenderly holding hands with CBS, Clawjob continues its quest to join every new and interesting social music site. The latest site to take the sacred rites and be inducted into the Clawjob family is blip.fm. Blip can easily and fairly accurately be described as "twitter with music," and Clawjob has already slammed its steel gauntlet-clad fist right into blip's face.

CLAWJOB CURATES, APPEARS ON, AND GIVES AWAY A NEW COMPILATION CD! April 12, 2009
Clawjob, lovers of music and self-promotion, have assembled a new compilation of 20 of the finest Boston rock bands (including Clawjob!*) to be given away for free at shows, stores, and generally awesome spots around town. The CD, Winter is Cold, features a lovable yeti mascot on the front cover, and the luxurious glossy finish on its eco-packaging will call out to you in your dreams, "take me, take me!" The Boston Phoenix recently snagged a copy, and said that "with its panoramic snapshot of this particular moment in Boston's noisier quarters, Winter Is Cold is far more than a sampler — it could very well be a staple."
This compilation CD is only available in Boston or at performances of the acts featured on the disc, so CLAWNET's Empathy Metrics Unit understands that distant fans may feel disappointment and/or anger at the lack of new, free compilation in their lives. To rectify these feelings, E.M.U. has advised CLAWNET to make Winter is Cold available online: DOWNLOAD YOUR FREE WINTER IS COLD COMP RIGHT HERE!
Residents of Boston and its immediate surroundings can find copies at Newbury Comics, Herrell's, Mr. Music, New England Comics, Horror Business, and other such places frequented by the cream of the city's hipster crop.

CLAWJOB ANNOUNCES M/F.S.EXCHANGE FOR OVERSEAS FANS! March 10, 2009
With the world charging head first into a global economic depression, Clawjob is unveiling a new program to help relieve the financial burden of Clawjob fans everywhere: M/F.S.EXCHANGE! M/F.S.EXCHANGE (The Clawjob Merchandise / Foreign Snack Exchange Program) is an exciting new way to acquire Clawjob merchandise at unprecedentedly low cost to non-American lovers of fine music.
Here's how it works!
You, a Clawjob fan living outside of the United States, go to the local seller of snack food and purchase a handful of delicious, regional treats. You email clawjob@clawjob.com with the subject line "M/F.S.EXCHANGE ADDRESS" and a few words of praise. Shortly thereafter, you will receive an email containing the current address of Clawjob's mobile candy acceptance base, and a packing slip. You carefully pack the candy, ship it to Clawjob, and await a shipment of official band merchandise of your choice!
Imported snacks are very expensive in Boston, and Clawjob's refined tastes demand an ever-increasing supply of Lion bars, Walker's Monster Munch, and Hello Panda. Based on these facts, the Fair And Trustworthy Clawjob Accounting Team (FATCAT) has concocted a very favorable exchange rate of just 2 candy bars per CD for the M/F.S.EXCHANGE program!

PAY NO ATTENTION TO THE NEW CLAWJOB DEMO ON FACEBOOK! February 11, 2009
The track will be left online for the immediate future as a reminder to other Claw Solutions employees not to break the bonds of their contracts, lest they suffer the same fate as their ex-coworker (termination, legal action, head on pike).
Clawjob's lawyers would like to add that the "Living Fossil" demo on Facebook is definitely not a sign of the awesomeness of Clawjob's next album, and is surely not a taste of the brutality of Clawjob's current live show.

SURRENDER TO CLAWJOB ON FACEBOOK! January 13, 2009
As you can probably imagine, the raw power of Clawjob is simply too much for one self-indulgent social networking site to contain. That's why Clawjob has a profile (or "web presence," as they call it in the biz) on Myspace, Bebo, as well as an outdated profile on Virb, a profile on Tagworld that has apparently evaporated, and various other existences on various other websites nobody ever looks at.
But now C.L.A.W.N.E.T. has brought Clawjob's particular brand magic to that ever-popular ground zero of making-uncomfortable-small-talk-with-people-you-forgot-about: FACEBOOK!
Facebook's clever interface and nefarious intrusion into the private lives of all its members entice Clawjob greatly. Become a slavering Clawjob fan on this web of lies and prepare yourself for even more complete assimilation!

WHY YOU SHOULD GO SEE CLAWJOB SHOWS January 6, 2009
All humans, except for those who don't enjoy pleasure, are advised to go to T.T. the Bear's Place on Wednesday, January 7 to see Clawjob perform with Guillermo Sexo, The Red Royal, and The Modern Voice. The band did a question and answer session with HeadsUpBoston to promote the show, and the resulting article is full of intriguing Clawnuggets.
On a related note, it has come to our attention that many Clawjob fans, understandably content with the perfection of their collection of Clawjob studio recordings, do not realize the extent to which Clawjob's live performances offer even better perfection! The interns at C.L.A.W.N.E.T. have put together an uncomprehensive list of reasons to attend Clawjob shows that should make high-velocity fountains of blood shoot from the eyes of even the most austere music fan.
1. INTIMACY!
Those in attendance get to experience the thrill of being in the same room as Clawjob, breathing the same air and smelling the same strange odors. Clawjob's live sound is loud enough to vibrate your pants molecules, instantly, into the parking lot, reconstituted into a thick, denim fog. You will not be able to experience this from the comfort of your own home (unless, of course, we play a show in your living room (contact clawjob@clawjob.com for booking info)).
2. EXCLUSIVITY!
Clawjob writes new music at a furious pace (a few albums worth in 2008), and, due to Clawjob's fickle whims, much of it will never make it to recorded form. Many of these rare songs of mystery are, however, played in concert. Observe a handful of tantalizing titles of songs that Clawjob has played live that you, homebound reader, have never heard!
Yancy Stanford and the Curse of the Ghost Buffalo ← Intriguing!
Minnesota Ice Man
Don't Kick The Corpse
One Hundred Hexillion Dollars To Blow Up Planet Earth ← What a deliciously evocative title!
Nandi Bear
Living Fossil ← This song surely must be great!
Red Headband
Reasons To Be Miserable ← Will Clawjob ever play this again? Probably not!
And more!
Missing even a single Clawjob show means you might never, ever get to hear your favorite song!
3. AFFORDABILITY!
If you never go to Clawjob shows, you will miss some amazing sales on Clawjob brand merchandise. Playing music and making money simultaneously puts the band in a euphoric state, and is in fact the only way they can fight off the demons of heroin withdrawal. So, at almost every show, there are incredible deals to be found on t-shirts, CDs, limited edition hololithographs, and the like. And buying your swag at the show not only means the band gets more money to pour into The Clawjob Foundation For Local Music By Clawjob (C.F.F.L.M.B.C.), but that you can get your merchandise personally sweat-smeared by the band! Win-win!

CLAWJOB INCENSED AT U.S. GOVERNMENT'S FAILURE TO BAIL OUT CLAWJOB September 29, 2008
Despite unanimous support and encouragement from every last George Bush appointee, the United States House of Representatives narrowly voted down a proposal to purchase Clawjob's distressed assets for the low price of 700 billion dollars. Presidential candidate John McCain suspended his campaign to fly, carbon-spewingly, to Clawjob HQ for an emergency meeting of the Rich and In-Touch. But even this shallow, pandering gesture was not enough to stop the urinary flow of billions of dollars from Clawjob-Global-Omnicorps-Now-Including-A-Sizeable-Chunk-of-Washington-Mutual, Inc.'s gold-plated Manneken Pis wiener. As a result, the Dow Jones took a precipitous dive, and Clawjob were forced, reluctantly, to lay off nearly 200,000 landscapers and massage artisans from their private island resort.
Clawjob has no time to indulge the whims of out-of-touch legislators, and has given up on the government. The fate of the economy is in your hands now, you unwashed masses! You must quickly purchase all remaining Clawjob merchandise before global inflation pushes the prices past the five hundred million papiermark level and into the rapidly disintegrating stratosphere!
Your purchase will not be in vain, because Clawjob merchandise is apocalypse-friendly:
1) Shrinkwrapped copies of Manifest Destiny can be used as waterproofing when your shantytown roof melts in a nuclear blast and acid rain starts leaking in! 2) Space Crackers t-shirts are pre-printed with simulated blood splatters, so if you sustain a gruesome injury in a resource-driven battle with a gang of roving bandits, your shirt will still look mostly the same! 3) If you choose to unwrap your Clawjob CD, you can use the disc to reflect what minimal sunlight gets through the stacked grey clouds of pollutants and signal your main tribal outpost via Morse Code! 4) You'll also find that the CD packaging itself is made from a special cardboard composite perfectly engineered to give off maximum heat when burned for warmth in an empty oil barrel (especially important, given that all the world's oil barrels will soon be empty)!
Clawjob merchandise is the world's most stable currency, and is currently trading at the remarkable rate of 7 American dollars to 1 Claw Unit. The government's refusal to bow down and infuse Clawjob with cash will surely cause this exchange rate to explode, so buy now! PANIC! Don't delay, or you might not get your order in before the credit bureaus collapse!

CLAWJOB WRITING CAMPAIGN SONG FOR PRESIDENTIAL NOMINEES! September 8, 2008
Clawjob has already embarked upon the composition of a stunningly inspirational song, and will license it to the highest bidding neoconservative candidate! Let it be known that members of a highly scientific focus group, upon merely hearing of Clawjob's intent to write such a song, scratched through the concrete walls of their holding cell in a panicked frenzy, looking for the nearest Diebold/Premier Election Solution machines, eager to cast their votes! Imagine the fervor that will erupt among the American public when the song actually exists! Whoever harnesses this power will certainly win the next presidential election, and thereby decide the fate of this godforsaken planet.
In the interim, while this masterpiece of political riot-rock is being composed and recorded, Clawjob would like to extend an offer to the Heart-deprived McCain campaign: free reign to pay multiple millions of dollars (or foreclose any of his seven houses) to use any of Clawjob's many McCain campaign-appropriate songs, such as "I'm So Hateful" or the ever-popular "Horrible Death!"

ALL MUSIC GUIDE DEEMS CLAWJOB COVER ART TOO INCREDIBLE FOR PUBLIC September 5, 2008
The editors of the Internet's favorite music database, All Music Guide, have decided that the cover art for Clawjob's brand new EP, Manifest Destiny, is just too stunning to be viewed by those few who still frequent their site. Their massive collection of music information is already home to billions of album covers, and adding an album cover so clearly superior to the rest, they reasoned, would be unfair. Still, if they did not include any artwork with the entry for Clawjob's astounding new EP, their readers would surely revolt after straining their fingers in the marathon mouse-clicking sessions necessary to navigate the labyrinthine site structure, only to find an empty box where the album cover should be.
Cleverly, the team of music experts at AMG posted the back cover of Manifest Destiny, complete with bar code, as a compromise, proving their unparalleled competence in the realm of electronic music information archival. The editors even had their web development team ensure that the site loads extra slowly, so that those who are pregnant or faint of heart have ample time to get away from the screen before the shockingly great back cover appears. The staff of CLAWNET slowly claps at (and asks readers to join in, one by one, until the slow claps build into a wave of thunderous applause) the ingenuity of the team at All Music Guide!

CLAWJOB MAINFRAME INFECTED! August 26, 2008
[BREAKING NEWS] Clawjob's mobile digital studio system, The Lappetoppe Deluxe, has been infected with a vicious piece of code designed by nefarious hackers to hurt the beloved band. Scientists on the scene compare the code to a virus for computers and have dubbed it "Infostrain Bacteri-X."
The attack on the band's mobile digital studio, or Modist, as it is known by insiders, has temporarily halted progress on new Clawjob recordings and has sent world economies tumbling. It is currently unknown if any Clawjob rarities have been permanently lost, but candlelight vigils have been scheduled around the globe tonight to pray for those hypothetically lost gems.
Journalists Will Spitz and Joe Bernardi are the prime suspects in this case as they were the last sub-Claw humans to set foot in Clawjob's studio, the Winter Island. Anyone with information on the whereabouts of these alleged information terrorists should contact clawjob @ clawjob.com as soon as possible.

RIAA ATTACKS CLAWJOB! August 19, 2008
The RIAA and its demented, mindless drones have declared war on the Internet!
Angered by dwindling major label sales and driven insane with envy by the copious revenue flooding into Clawjob Global Omnicorp Unltd. (thanks to the recent release of Manifest Destiny), the RIAA and its underling puppet organizations have lain siege to the entire Internet! Recent casualties include:
● beloved streaming mixtape website Muxtape.com has temporarily disabled itself! ● flagship Internet radio website (and Clawjob-approved promotional mechanism) Pandora.com has acknowledged that it cannot afford to continue operations unless new Congressionally-approved royalty rates are recalculated! Read more about that here!
RIAA spokesman Agent_2346538 comments: "Clawjob's recent re-entry into the realm of recorded, purchasable music has sucked all revenue away from RIAA-branded artists and labels, and our Munificent Overlord will not suffer that indignity. He has sent us, His humble minions, onto the Internet to beat back the flood of artist-friendly websites and tools, and keep the hated independent bands where they belong: penniless, in the sewers. All hail the Supreme Overlord."
Clawjob greatly resents being scapegoated for the RIAA's flawed business model, and encourages all Clawjob fans to take a stand by writing sternly worded letters to their congresspeople, preferably on the backsides of Clawjob posters or the insides of Clawjob CDs!
Hot political action tip: covering your envelope with Clawjob stickers will make your ideas that much more likely to have an effect!
Together, we can preserve Clawjob's precious revenue streams for years to come!
