The Somewhat Surprising Return of Percy "thrills" Hussalonia
Not long after the infamous public meltdown while on the 2005 Thrillalonia tour, Percy "thrills" Hussalonia retreated to a small potato farm in Vancouver to recover and, allegedly, work on his next album. Years passed and every time an inquiring member of the press found his or her way to Percy's door, said correspondent (probably an overly ambitious, naive newcomer to the profession) was met with an unsettling sight -- an emaciated, bearded man very excited to talk about potatoes and little else. Every six months we'd send his manager/lawyer (and occasional collaborator) Finney Jean Soda up to the farm in hopes of hearing reports about Percy behind a drum kit, strumming a guitar, or even better, in the midst of one of his famed recording benders of yesteryear. But with each successive trip, our expectations lessened, until, eventually, everyone at Hussalonia headquarters lost hope. Percy was finished.
And so you could imagine that it was somewhat surprising to receive a recent package from Percy, its contents a reel of 1/2" tape labeled "Release 610." There is some discrepancy about what this means. Either Percy neglected to add a demarcation indicating a break between the number of the month and the abbreviation for 2010 (i.e. 6/10), meaning release this in June of 2010, or this is the 610th release that Percy has completed during his five year hiatus. It seems we will never know, as when we sent Finney back up to Vancouver to see if Percy was in any shape for a tour, he found nothing. Literally, nothing. The farmhouse had been razed. And where there was once a potato field, now stands a 24 hour pharmacy.
As of this writing, Percy is missing in action. But just to be sure we're in accordance with Percy's wishes, this EP has been released in June of 2010. Let's just hope there are 609 more gems locked away somewhere, all just as fabulous as this one.
