HEY!!!

Go immediately to the Black on High myspace and listen to 'Ascension of Madmen' and tell me what you think. then come back and read the rest of my blog. It's cool, I'll wait......

i think the said 'blow to the head' i outlined in my last post really did me some good. I've been writing a lot more, and listening to a lot of different music. I think I've really opened up a lot musically. I've been catching myself doing weird little instrumentals. The idea behind them was 'the immediate and simple capture of what i was feeling at the moment'. I called them 'the realizations'. Here's #2. Let me know what you think. Simplicity was the goal. These are also a good rut buster when writing music.



Anyways, still writing lots for B.O.H. and I'm really excited for where that music is heading. I'm not sure if I mentioned this yet, Jeph Geaghan from Downshift found a bunch of old Downshift demos for an acoustic album that I wrote that never got off the ground (obviously!). So, Jeph is going to write some vocals and when that's done, I'll toss that up on the downshift myspace (www.myspace.com/downshift). So, that's kind of exciting. I actually completely forgot about that record until he emailed me one day with all tracks. They are a good 5 years old, alot of them were old 'Blueprint' demos that never made the last DS record. Anyways, we also just announced a new show on Nov. 7th at Shea Rileys in Omaha with our friends in Beta Minus and Noizewave. If you're in town, you should definetely check that out. Its also are bro Wezel's bday, so it'll be fun. Anyways, i'm out. Talk to you soon.
