Press Release ;

Yet Another Genius BFPT Release!

in the past few weeks, Mr. Reznor has already completed 2 CD's ; 'Dough Re
Mi' and 'the Downward Herring', the first being a full-length LP and the
second an astonishing EP.  the difference in mood and subject between the
two is also astonishing ; doughnuts and fish...

AND NOW, after so much talk about FOOD, he releases this Single for us all
to enjoy ; 'Big Stan on the Run'.  It seems that a fan of Reznors was
overcome by the lyrics and amazing sounds in 'Dough Re Mi' and went out
and robbed a Dunkin' Donuts!  This 2000 lbs. man, 'Big Stan' has been a
fugitive since 2 days after the release of the last LP.  This single is
dedicated to 'Big Stan' in the hopes he will turn himself in to the
authorities.

When asked about the incident and his reason for making the album, Mr.
Reznor said 'you know, we all have that evil inside of us, that dependancy
on doughnuts.  i myself have almost done what stan did.  i am a
doughtnut-depressive, i need a glaze fix at least once a week.  maybe i
should get therapy, but if i do, they'll be no more singles off of that
last LP.'

here is the lyrics to the title track of 'Big Stan on the Run' ;

i know a big man (yes i do)
his name is big stan,
ate himself a crate of frotsted,
now he's on the can.
gotta get some more, well i'll make you bake 'em
maybe i'll take a box of holes, you know,
just for the fun of it.
well i can eat a dozen, if i want
this one's hard as fucking steel,
and it's a powdered.
well it's every inch a glazed,
and i'll eat it somehow,
me and this box of holes,
nothing can stop me now.
run run run run run
well i'm gonna come to georgia
run run run run run
well i'm gonna come to georgia
me and my box of holes,
me and my box of holes.

the very sporatic lyrics barely give you a glimpse of the story, but
reznor says his fans are intuitive and understand, even if the mainstream
doesn't.

in other news, chris vrenna has had a doughnut-puncher attached to the
stub of his right arm.  (all of his limbs had to be amputated because of
the fight he and reznor had during the creation of their last LP.)
