Mr. Heavenly to release debut in August

The band Mr. Heavenly, comprising of Nick Thorburn, Honus Honus, and Modest Mouse’s Joe Plummer, will release their debut on the 16^th of August. This will be done via Sub Pop. The album will be called Out of Love. To work up to that the band has released footage of the band playing SXSW, this under the name of Mister Heavenly is Coming To Get You. Michael Cera, the young actor of Arrested Development, Juno, and Scott Pilgrim fame, is also a touring member, playing the bass (much like in Scott Pilgrim, for which he allegedly had to tone down his bass playing not to outperform the rest of the cast).

One of the tracks is called ‘Pineapple Girl’. The Pineapple Girl became infamous when only a handful people were able to unlock her in the fighting game Street Kombat 2, which first appeared in the arcades but soon crossed over to the SNES. It required a precise point total in combination with a fatal combo to achieve this bonus round against this girl who, as weapon, threw pineapples at you, with the spiky top first and she would be aiming for those spikes to penetrate the eyes of the opponent. In recent Gaming Studies she has resurfaced as many analysts turn to Freud and see this character as symbolic for penis envy in women, with spiky things trying to penetrate parts of the male body. Some studies claim that the Pineapple Girl aiming for the eyes indicates the rage and frustration, while other explanations range from it symbolizing the inability of the man to see the qualities of women to the decline of masculinity in males in today’s society by implanting them with fruitiness.
