• Here's the text of a Myspace bulletin from Mr. Adam Pfahler, sent to friends of Jawbreaker on January 3, 2008:

Dear You,
I've been pretty slack keeping you posted on the goings on in the world of Jawbreaker, so here's a few answers to some frequently asked questions regarding the old group:
1. Yes, the documentary is still on, still being made. The hold up is that Keith and Tim have yet to find a distributor who is willing to pony up the closing costs to finish this thing (flights, editing time, blowing it up to 35mm. etc.). So they are doing this as a labor of love in between their regular gigs and family time. I trust this love bodes well for the finished product. A few months back they came to SF and we got some really great footage with all three of us and Billy Anderson (who worked on Bivouac, 24 Hour Revenge Therapy and a couple one-offs as a producer/engineer). We even played together, but didn't roll footage out of both respect for the sanctity of the moment and fear that we'd suck. Anyway, I have audio of it. Maybe I'll post that some day.
2. A lot of you ask about where you can get the records. Well, if your local mom and pop don't carry them, you can always order them through midheaven.com. They should have vinyl even. If the digital domain is your thing, I’ll paste the links to iTunes and Cinderclock (for swag) below and you'll be a click away to keeping food on my table.
Thanks, and happy winter.
Adam

• J. Robbins (Jawbox, Burning Airlines) and Janet Morgan's son Callum was diagnosed with spinal muscular atrophy almost a year ago. Please visit the DeSoto Records: For the Benefit of Cal Robbins page and J. Robbins's blog for more information on Callum's plight. You can find information about making donations at the Desoto Records page.
• A great way to support Callum is to purchase the new For Callum double CD compilation. Check out Catlick Records for more information. 100% of the proceeds are going to Callum's care fund. Jawbreaker contributed a song to the For Callum compilation: the July 1994 mono, 16-track demo version of "I Love You So Much It's Killing Us Both."
• Keith and Tim have been making good progress on the Jawbreaker documentary. They've already collected a ton of archival footage, and they've been conducting interviews with various personalities across the country for the past six months. Adam says that they hope to finish by the end of the year.
