At a meeting in the streets of LA on April 13th, men in a strategically placed van gave everyone ammunition boxes filled with Resistance propaganda (fliers, stencils, buttons, stickers) and some people received boxes with cell phones. The phones had a note: "If you are 18 or over, and will be in the Los Angeles area Wednesday, April 18th we need you. If not, give this hardware to someone else. This phone is your membership card to the resistance. Within the next few days, we will use it to contact you with details of this first resistance meeting. It will get you and one friend through the door. Keep it charged, and keep it with you at all times. Most importantly, there are only 100 minutes on these phones, so use them up and you'll be SOL. We'll be in touch."

I read recently that a radio DJ/program director Alan Cross from 102.1 CFNYFM The Edge in Toronto found a copy of the track "The Good Soldier" on his desk. I wrote him begging to share it if it's true.
update: I got an email back from Alan Cross; he said that he has no idea where that rumor came from. Although even the official website for the radio station he works for mentions his personal review of "The Good Soldier" as being a "Moody, slower. Great grind-y bass synth groove. A natural pick for a single!" which can be found here.
