  • Apple Computer, Inc. Saves The Music Industry

    Unless you’ve been living in a bunker, you’ve probably heard about Apple’s iTunes Music Store where you can purchase just about any song you want for 99¢, download it (including album art) and burn it to a CD. This is the greatest idea since Apple released the the iPod or the Macintosh itself. Leave it to Steve Jobs to save the failing music industry.

    Dog FightAs for our music, I will be posting a clip of “Trina” within the next couple of days. The new album should be done before the summer is over, but there is currently no date set. In the mean time, check out the new Regenerated Headpiece album, Dog Fight, which I got to jam out on.

  • The Dream Is Dead

    Type O Negative has released a full-length download on their web site because someone leaked their entire new album on the internet. (Read the article from Josh Silver, their keyboard player/producer/engineer.) I think it sums up what peer-to-peer sharing of music does to already-established artists that don’t chart in the top 40. Fortunately, for bands just starting out like us, the internet is a great tool.

    For the record, we never leaked or shared anything from Type O Negative except for a song which wasn’t even theirs to begin with. 🙂

  • Operation: Iraqi Freedom

    We are living in times of war. We should all be living in peace, loving one another, doing psychedelic drugs, playing sitars on giant mushroom shaped chairs with lava projection in the background, listening to what the flower people say…

    Hippies? Maybe. Maybe not. Maybe we’re just some people trying to enjoy this life without being attacked, terrorized, shot at, blown up, looked at funny, stabbed, shoved, being the targets of weapons of mass destruction…

    We support our troops and our mission to rid the Middle East of a vicious tyrant who spreads lies, and murders all those who oppose. In the big irony of this world, sometimes some asses need to be kicked in order to live without fear.

    Just don’t forget that the propaganda machine is always running on both sides. Get the whole story before you take a position. The news media does not tell you everything!

    On a much lighter note, the final tracks to a new song are going to be laid down this week. Mixing begins next week. Check back for a new audio clip, and perhaps an MP3 Download of some already-finished tracks.

    Peace.
