Free MP3 download from American Ghetto
“The Dead Dog” was the second song that Anthony Saffery, Adam Taylor and I began working on for the American Ghetto project. We started tracking this on my second day back in Boston… it may have been the first, I am not quite sure. This track began with a break beat and a loose set of chords that I had put together in the morning before tracking. Lyrically, this was the first album where I really went out and referenced the streets and places around where I grew up. “The Dead Dog” was a bar out towards Big Lake off Pittman Road where, no offense Pittman ralliers, some pretty shady folks spent their time. I don’t know what it was about that area that drew me in but it did, for whatever reason. As with all the songs on American Ghetto there is a focus on our teenage lives and the things we did and the paths we chose. Some of the moments are sadder than others but “The Dead Dog” was written more about the setting than with a specific person in mind.
The whole process of the American Ghetto recordings was basically a two week explosion of ideas followed by about 4 months of clean-up and focusing. This gave the songs space and time to breathe a bit before finding their true home in the album and in the finished piece.

Wow, amazing song guys.
Can’t wait for the album.
Sebastian//02.23.2010
We would prefer if you got the song from us rather then reposting or torrenting. I know it is easy to do but we rather you get it from us because then we can see where it is going and we can get your email address (just being honest). It is important to know where you are so we can plan touring and such and it is important to have your email so we can send you stuff. I think you probably know us well enough that we will never spam with you crap. At worst it might be notes about how much we love you and appreciate your support. thanks
portugaltheman//02.23.2010
Wow. only you PTM are cool enough that I am actually interested in giving up my email, and you justify it so straight and honestly. Come back around to Michigan on your next tour. My journalist friend said he was going to call you guys next time you’re in town to chill and of course i would love to tag along and meet you guys. Anyway, can we expect to download American Ghetto on the 2nd on this website or do we have to go to a third party like Amazon.com?
nick//02.23.2010
I cannot WAIT for March 2nd… First track is superb and I love the direction that the album is going in. I am immensely giddy as I await next Tuesday (I’m really hoping I can someday have this on vinyl.. that would be just amazing and would undoubtedly complete my collection
Bronwyn//02.23.2010
can’t wait for the new album, and even MORE pumped to see you guys on the 19th now!!!
Luke//02.23.2010
please buy from us. yes it will be on iTunes and Amazon but it would be cooler if you bought from us
portugaltheman//02.23.2010
i’d love to buy from you guys.
i hope that works out, since it’ll be overseas payment.
pay pal would certainly be a good payment option.
Mike//02.23.2010
i actually had to stop myself from listening to the new track because it was the only thing on my playlist for a few hours :]. don’t know how i’m going to wait till march 2nd for more! i’m also very pleased you guys are hitting colorado again, can’t wait till the 26th.
ian//02.23.2010
Hey PTM,
i would like to buy, but (!!) it’s neither in the german Itunes store nor on the german Amazon… And we don’t have a CD-Shop here and shipping is very expensive (I think more than the CD itself) Do you have some special abilities to fix that?

Great song guys! My anticipation of this album is through the roof! Not only do I love and appreciate your music, I love what you do for music itself.
Much love and respect. Keep it rockin’ fellas!!

Travis//02.23.2010
God dammit guys. This is amazing work. I literally have not been this anxious for an album release since Radiohead released OK Computer. Fucking phenomenal.
Will//02.24.2010
I really wish there was pre-order or something because it is going to be a bitch finding this cd around my town.
Kyle//02.24.2010
Bloody unbelievable. I saw you guys back in Rorschach (Switzerland) in november, and ever since I’ve been absolutely psyched about your new album. (Terrific show, by the way.) Judging from your Satanic material, I had my doubts about how good it would turn out after even more experimenting, but I remained hopeful. This song here proves that my doubts were based on absolutely nothing. Terrific work, guys. I’ll definitely pick your album up day it hits the stores.
Best of luck with the Ghetto.
Michael//02.24.2010
Why am i getting no link to click i wanna hear this song so bad
nick//02.24.2010
It aint gonna be on cd till after March 2. Digital release first, then cd/vinyl later on. Just check itunes whatever March 2 and buy it! Problem solved

You guys rock! Just got home from the show at the varsity in mpls and all I can say is Wow! I’ve been a fan for years but this my first time seeing you live. I can tell you put a ton of love and work into the live show. You’re albums are all excellent. I have them all. That said, seeing you live just increased my love for you a ton. Thank you so much for all the beautiful music!

Another great album! Please come back to LA soon!!!!!!! (Coachella is too far for us to drive)
Love the gigs in Hollywood @ the Troubador, but consider the Canyon Club in the Valley this time around because its a great venue and your hardcore LA fans will still show up there but you will also attract a more mainstream audience as well. It’s cool that you guys are kind of an underground sensation, but its time to let the rest of the world know about you.

i’m usually bouncing all across the net virtually all of the afternoon which means I usually tend to peruse a lot, which isn’t commonly a beneficial thing as almost all of the web pages I find are constructed of unproductive waste copied from many other web sites a million times, on the other hand I’ll hand it to ya this page is in fact quite informative and also has a bit of genuine substance, therefore thank you for breaking up the pattern of merely copying other peoples’ blogs, in case you ever wanna have fun with playing a few hands of myspace poker together just gimme a shout – you have my e mail

It’s interesting how far 3D Movies have come in the last few years. If you guys remember Spiderman from early 2000, and look at movies like Doctor Parnassus, created now, you’ll understand what I’m talking about. We’ve just come so far, as long as the Movie is well funded. I can’t wait to see DC’s new Batman 3 coming out 2012.

Am i allowed to make a recommendation? I think that you’ve got a little something very good here. But let’s say you added in a couple links to a internet page that backs up exactly what youre declaring? Or possibly you might give us a little something to look at, anything that would connect what youre expressing to some thing real? Just a suggestion.
