Caplets Gill Us
TPEG's seventh album goes by nine different names, depending on which one of the nine album covers is up front.
If it's not Caplets Gill Us then it could be... A Cellist Gulps, Cages Pill Lust, Glaces Its Pull. Scalpel Guilts, Cape Gill Sluts, Space Gull List, Ace Plugs Still, Callus Piglets, Places Gut Sill, or maybe just Plastic E-Gulls!
Ellen's busy with her new kids, so she's not gonna be on this album. We wish her well.

Singles
J'nette, Queen of the Universe & Guitar Pick
J'nette: Our DJ friend Todd Zeppelin wrote this in honor of his friend, of all aliens, the queen of the universe herself. He sent it to us in the hopes of it getting recorded for a single, and that's exactly what did. The end result sounds like a cross between Schoolhouse Rock and Roger McGuinn. (We've been listening to a lot of that stuff lately.) We hope her majesty enjoys the song.
(FYI, her name is pronounced /j/ă+nĕ+tay)
Guitar Pick: Here's a sample of what the TPEG classic "Guitar Pick" originally sounded like, back in early 2011. If you like what you hear, why don't you give a listen to TPEG creator Thomas Fay's new pre-TPEG retrospective, "Why Thomas Fay?"
