A recent Pitchforkmedia.com story revealed lots of fun activities surrounding Subtle's forthcoming album, ExitingArm. Among them include a comic book called The OughtAlmanac of AmassedFact Vol. I (which will soon be posted at ExitingArm.com); a proposed animated series co-created by Dose One for Cartoon Network's Adult Swim; and ongoing YouTube hilarity authored by that same madcap poet.

Obviously, Dose One's a uniquely creative guy. And he -- as well as his band -- are awesome in concert. Subtle puts on one of the best shows around, and usually carry a merch table full of limited edition goodies for its fans. So pick up ExitingArm on May 13, and then skedaddle over to the club if the group comes to your town. The tour dates are below.
