Gilliam Propaganda

So if you're not familiar with Terry Gilliam, you should be. He is the personification of pure genius. He is the mastermind behind movies like Brazil (inspired by Orwell's 1984), Adventures of Baron Munchausen, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (Hunter S. Thompson), 12 Monkeys (inspired by the French short film La Jetée) and Time Bandits to name a few. If you haven't seen any of said movies, I highly recommend you blitzkrieg your local Blockbuster and snatch up any one of his films. You will not be disappointed. As you might be able to tell, I am a zealous fan and can't wait for his upcoming film The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus starring Heath Ledger in his final attempt at living/acting. Teaser below.

Cantankerous Negotiations

Good to hear you're feeling well patient # _______,
Just a quick update on what's going on with us as of late. Well, first off, I got to hang out with In Flames on their bus for a few hours Saturday night. That's right, In Flames. Anyways, as many of you have noticed, we are recording again! Hold your horses, though. These are demos and there are only 3 of them. The reason for the recording is so we can shop the songs to some bigger name producers in the States and have them melt with our sweet, sweet sounds and agree to produce our next album. So, unfortunately, you probably won't get to hear them. Well.....okay, here's what we'll do. If you head over to our Myspace page and start helping us campaign (sending messages to all your friends, posting bulletins, etc.) to help us get to 80,000 plays by the end of December, we will post one (and ONLY ONE) of the new songs. Remember these are the doctor's orders.
In other news, we are still continuing the hunt for a new bass player, so if you are out there and want to rock the world, give us a shout and we'll set something up, aight?

Audio Incarnations/Musical Transformations

Recently we've been fortunate in finding some studio space to help us prepare for the new record and it's proving to be very inspirational. In the past four weeks we've written over three new songs and now have approximately seven/eight in total. So far we're pretty excited. The way things are shaping up; the music is seemingly less "poppy" and has a much rawer sound, the heavier side has definitely gotten heavier and the softer side is a lot softer. It's neat (yes, I said "neat") cause we're finding a real difference in contrast whereas on Reversals there was a mixer of bothwithin a song. We'll begin demoing shortly.

For now, here is an image of us constructing future rock.

Coping: First Things First

1. Because of the potential for a major [economic] shift (from emotionally building language into release language), make sure you have printed off your current bank and trading holdings so you have a physical copy of things.


2. Do both magnetic (hard drive) and optical (cd/dvd) backups of key data.


3. Don't panic.
