To Leave or Die in Long Island


To Leave or Die in Long Island is the second release by the DIY collective Bomb The Music Industry!. It is considered a "mini-album" by the band members, because they feel it’s too much to be considered an EP, but it’s not enough to be a full-length. As with their debut, the album can be obtained by either downloading it or bringing blank discs to a BTMI! show.
The album was released by Asbestos Records on vinyl in December 2006, after a delay due to a manufacturing error. The first pressing consists of three versions on vinyl, and a limited edition picture disc.

    Details

"Congratulations, John, On Joining Every Time I Die" is about BtMI! guitarist/bass player John DeDomenici, who singer/guitarist Jeff Rosenstock thought was going to quit BtMI! to join Every Time I Die. He did not. The line "1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, Pick it up, 1, 2, 3" in the bridge comes from the Every Time I Die song "Off Broadway".
The sample at the beginning of "Showerbeers" is from the movie Can't Hardly Wait.
"Bomb the Music Industry! Are Fucking Dead" contains a sample from the British sitcom The Office.
"Brian Wilson Says SMiLE! " uses a sample from The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie.
