DWLB runs smack-dab into the War on Terror
The following letter from the United States Copyright Office arrived at DWLB’s Chicago office on Monday:
We recently received your copyright claim in the mail after it had been irradiated. The US Postal Service began this precaution following the discovery of anthrax contamination in October 2001. The irradiation level is strong enough to damage some materials beyond our ability to process them. This is the case with one or more of the items you sent. Please send a replacement for the damaged item(s).
The item in question was a CD of unreleased DWLB recordings, some of which will be included on our next full-length album. A replacement disc is on its way to Washington DC now.
Donny Who Loved Bowling does not wish to downplay the importance of national security, or in any way disrespect the victims of the anthrax attacks.
But we did find this particular situation pretty amusing.
A fine selection of non-irradiated DWLB music is currently available at iTunes and CD Baby.
