"Start picking tomatoes and making sauce, because it's time to get noodly. Can yelper Damo Suzuki and Mars Volta guitarist Omar Rodriguez-Lopez have teamed up to release a collaborative vinyl-only 12" EP via GSL.

"Please Heat This Eventually features contributions from the Omar Rodriguez-Lopez Quintet: Omar, Mars Volta bassist Juan Alderete de la Pena, MV percussionist (and Omar's brother) Marcel Rodriguez-Lopez, Beastie Boys collaborator Money Mark Nishita, and MV flutist/saxophonist/percussionist Adrian Terrazas Gonzales. It will be available via GSL's mailorder on December 1 and in stores in January.

"Omar Rodriguez-Lopez also has collaborations with Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarist John Frusciante up on iTunes right now; they are part of GSL's Special 12 Single Series compilation, which collects tracks previously released by the label only on 12". Their two tracks are titled '0' and '0=2'. The comp also includes a song by Xiu Xiu ('Red Croissant') and two by Alavaz Relxib Cirdec (spell it backwards): 'Live Private Booths (Long Version)' and 'Sapta Loka.'" [Pitchfuck]
