I get a lot of press releases forward to me which usually get forwarded directly into my gmail archive. But this one I'm happy to pass along: Third Man Records is releasing A Glorious Dawn. You know the Carl Sagan remix (w/ guest appearance of the Hawkmeister) that I've been looping over and over again while I work:

Third Man Records is over the moon to announce the 7-inch release of "A Glorious Dawn" on November 9th.
...
The release is timed to coincide with the 75th anniversary of Sagan's birth. Also happening that day is a reception in United States' Congress with speeches by senators, NASA officials and assorted scientists, all hosted by the Planetary Society, which was co-founded by Sagan.

Third Man Records, in conjunction with United Record Pressing, fabricated a special "Cosmos Colored Vinyl" of which 150 copies will be available...50 randomly inserted into mail orders for "A Glorious Dawn" and the remainder to be made available at the Third Man Records Nashville store front at noon on November 9th.

The one-sided single features a very special etching on the flipside. Reproduced from the original artwork, the etching copies the etching included with the Voyager Golden Record, set off into space in 1977 as the most elaborate message-in-a-bottle idea ever imagined. With its inclusion of Blind Willie Johnson's "Dark Was The Night" it goes without saying that the Voyager Golden Record is one of Third Man's favorite releases of all-time..

I fell asleep last night listening to an episode of Cosmos. Maybe that explains da alienz in my dreamz?
