Wow! Fucking hell man, thank you for posting this! I didn't know anything about it.

Here's the info from the page, just in case someone's attention isn't grabbed by that hyperlink.

WHERE DOES A BODY END? — A documentary on the band SWANS

The savage and tender extremes of SWANS told with unprecedented access to archive material and interviews spanning the past 35 years.

$15,360 pledged of $34,008 goal

284 backers

29 days to go

All or nothing.
This project will only be funded if it reaches its goal by Wednesday, Feb. 22, 2017, 4:10 p.m. EST.

So, someone with chops and experience is trying to fund the production of a definitive story and visual document of SWANS.

So far, he's raised less than half of the necessary amount, and he has less than a month before the deadline. If you love SWANS, this seems like a good way to contribute to the preservation of their memory (not that they're dead, or gone, but ... well, nobody really knows what the future holds), and to possibly sound the alarm for some folks who may not have the pleasure of knowing this band.

Man, the trailer alone looks incredible.

[greenlight]

yeah, it does

[Severian]

Have you guys checked back? He's like 64% of the way to meeting the goal!

What a difference a few hours can make.

Also, Pitchfork reported on this 4 hours ago, so that certainly didn't hurt.

Why are you guys fundraising for bjork's vespertine album when my brother Martin has the surround sound DVD on his entertainment shelfs in his living room? Get over it! 5:1 souround sound DVDS were so so expesnive to produce only brojk and youshimi battles the pink robors made any money! It's over! It failed! It's never coming back!

What you should be doing with that fundraisers money is buying all the surrond sound audio DVDS on email and amazon.xane warrior pince nez the supernintendo from the bible. You know the onw that the archangel Phil Collings fucking sucks shit! Ouch that hurt.

Hey I get it man — you're punny and quippy and stuff. But maybe once in a while you could just either contribute to a conversation (one that isn't about Ween), or not bother. In other words: say something or say nothing. Eh? Just a thought.

Now, clearly you don't give a shit about this, because you didn't watch the video or anything, but I'd be remiss if I failed to point out the inaccuracy of your analogy. We're not backing something that's already been made, or that is readily available. We're backing a project that is actually new. The film will be a definitive document — the "complete" story of SWANS (though... what happens when if and when story continues, I don't know). This has never been done before, and the need for such a document, not just for diehards but for the world at large. A lot of people still don't know about SWANS, even after their successful revival.

So... that's why.

Duh.

[PLips]

Fine asshole. I'm going fucking corner the Market on every Existing Surround Sound Audio DVD on the Market and your shitty as fucking Thurston;Bjork quasi;album is going to be a laughing stock that you are openly going to shit on yourself because it is a sonic diarrhuiretic and you are all constipated from consuming copius amounts of pretensce.

As for me... I just won "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire!" Regis and Kathy Lee just announced it on their show this morning.

Enjoy your sour grapes metrosexuals! I'm sipping on a divine bottle of Baco Noir right now.

Dean Martin Flicks his lit cigarette on you from the stage and says "why don't you paint me a picture on the way out, it'll last longer!"

[pepper_green]

tha hellz yr problem?^^

[PLips]

You know Swans are known to sadististically drown ducks to death for know other reason than spite. I read it in the Wisdom of the Wilderness. The reason why bjork wore the Swan was because it has Reptilian Consciousness so she appropriated it's existence.

That's rongh! Thurston and bjork are collaborating on an album for Lizard People!!

Gross!! I never ever ever do that again. The only one involved in this project I don't want to exject all my excrement and bodily fluid on: is Sister Superior Bjork. Great Honours to Her Sistership!

Shame and Guilt on all of you disgusting revolting Metrosexuals! Bleckh!! You Deserve it!!

Have fun Burning in the Hellfires of Gehenna! You are going to suffer like you never believed you could; you've more than earned it.

As for me... I'm in the Surround Sound Audio DVD business now Mangs! Tata!

[pepper_green]

yea, sure. whatever you say PLips.

[Severian]

What album? It's a movie.

Why am I even fucking typing this Jesus Christ..

[PLips]

That's right because you're all volunteering to go to Hell for the Sake of Bjork.s Cause!!!

[PLips]

[Severian]

Holy shit ... goal is exceeded with 24 days left!!!!

Thank you!!

Looking at the numbers since Blood Promise shared this, I can't help but think we made a difference.

I'll bet Pitchfork watches this board for tips on how to be cool. That's why they posted about it after BP did.

Best I can tell, the majority of the work and expense has already occurred. I know NOTHING about producing a DVD, but I'm assuming the biggest cost was having Marco Porsia travel with the band. It will take a good deal of time compiling all the footage and no doubt Marco wants to be compensated for his time, but the cost had already been accrued before the kickstarter campaign began. With the goal met, it's a win-win for everyone involved!

Don't forget Pink Floyd's, 'Ummagumma'......but only the ones with the cover of the 'Gigi' soundtrack on the front. Not only are they 5:1 surround sound, but CD two has a secret backwards masking album hidden under the CD lable. There are five hidden albums in total:

Electric Light Orchestra - Face The Music
Styx - Paradice Thester
Black Oak Arkansas - The Day Electricity Came To Arkansas
Alan Parsons Project - Stereotomy
Triumph - Thunder Seven

My copy of 'Unmagumma' has the ELO album.

SPECIAL NOTE - not all needles are capable of finding the groove on the secret backwards masking albums hidden under the lable of disc two of the 2xCD set. (GIGI soundtrack versions ONLY)

[PLips]

Holy shit! So that 2 Layered CD Rolling Stones "Their Satanic Majesties Request" actually had another album on it???

My friend gay Joe gave my copy to Sally Ann after I told him off for bragging he was a virgin when I was a virgin!


Crrrrrrrraaaaazzzzeeeeee!!!

Yes, well, that's clear, right? I mean in the video he shows parts of the documentary. And he states that the money is for post-production, graphics, blah blah. But I have no doubt that the film has been made. But the finished product? I don't know. And there obviously hasn't been any real marketing for this. I find myself wondering if it will even be done by the projected date, and I think it probably won't unless they really haul ass.

But yes, it's a win-win for everyone involved.

[Skuj]

I contributed!! We need this document. Swans are underdocumented. Same Dude who has done DVDs with last 2 albums...good work.
