With some limited edition tour vinyl tucked under his arm (courtesy of Vinyl International) and a very strange banner above his head, psych-pop weirdo Ariel Pink is set to embark on the so-called "Thanks Mom I'm Dead Tour 2008".

Pink and his band of merry mental cases known as Haunted Graffiti will leave their mark on North America as they take to the road for a good solid month. It all begins July 19 in San Francisco, with Brooklyn's Chairlift supporting on most dates.
