I love Rush.

Fugazi is greatness too.

Tom Petty is my Mudcrutch. So is Willy Nelson. Ani DiFranco, she's mint.

I LOVE Phish.

I've been listening to a lot of vinyl lately. Dinosour Jr. and Joy Division and Billy Joel and The Joshua Tree and The White Stripes, boy that Icky Thump sure sounds better on a record player.

That Van Halen record 5150 is awesome too. There's a band called Quicksand that I love, and another called Helmet. Talking Heads...oooh.

Oh and I bought ALL of the AC/DC catalogue on vinyl. They were the 1st band I ever loved. I was Angus for Holloween when I was 12.

I still have my original Iron Maiden Powerslave record too. I'm gonna keep buying vinyls...they sound nice.

I am wondering a lot what is to become of the music industry lately. I think and hope that it will stop resembling an industry and start resembling a farmers market. No more middle men. No more people getting involved who bring nothing to the table. No more 200%...No more Doug Morris, fossilized baby boomers, holding on so tight you'd never know any other generation was ever even born. Jars of jam songs made with care at home and sold on the websternet....That I can do. Marketing plans, CD's and lawsuits replaced by access to music people like.

The new record is being recorded the old way on new stuff. We are performing the songs 2 track....no more multi tracking....just a live show in our studio recorded until we get the song right and then on to the next. It will take a while but it will be on DSD Audio...google that.

When we are done we will take great care to make sure that the MP3 versions and AAC versions are down sampled well...And if that isn't your cup o' tea then we will offer half speed vinyl masters for pre-order. They will be available in the Summer of 2009.

Much Love,
