Enon to Release B-Sides Comp

Ah, the odd 'n' sods B-sides collection. A throwaway stopgap designed to scrounge up a little beer money? An ammo dump of lousy tunes? Or "something that may sound more like a cohesive record than any of our regular full lengths"? If Enon frontman John Schmersal is to be believed, his band's Lost Marbles and Exploded Evidence, due in early 2005, falls into that final category.

As Pitchfork previously reported, Schmersal describes the set as "an undefinitive collection of things the common man (who does not have a record player or check our website regularly or check every compilation we've been on) needs to be hearing." Gather 'round for the tracklist, common man (and woman):

01 Knock That Door
02 The Nightmares of Atomic Men
03 Adalania (Not So Far)
04 Drowning Appointments
05 Nothing is Happening
06 Grain of Assault
07 Genie's Got Her Bag
08 Kanon
09 Blow Infinite Ways
10 Tilt You Up!
11 Marbles Explode
12 Raisin Heart
13 Evidence
14 Fly South
15 Merry! Merry! Merry!
16 Party Favor

But perhaps you need a little more incentive? Well, initial pressings of Evidence will come bundled with a DVD featuring "music videos, live clips, and behind-the-scenes antics," according to Enon's official website. The videos contained therein:

01 Carbonation
02 Pleasure and Privilege
03 In This City
04 Mikazuki
05 Murder Sounds
06 Daughter in the House of Fools

Finally, having spent November traipsing about Europe, Enon appears inclined to take the next few months off, but a few early 2005 dates have emerged:

03-05 Atlanta, GA - MJQ
03-09 Orlando, FL - Screamers
03-10 Miami, FL - I/O
03-12 Gainesville, FL - Common Grounds
03-14 Tallahassee, FL - Club Down Under
03-21 Memphis, TN - HiTone
