Die Meldung des Tages gleich zuerst: Thrice haben nicht nur mit der Arbeit am neuen Album begonnen, nein es soll auch noch ein großes Konzept werden und davon wollen sie gerne über MySpace berichten. Das Statement findet ihr in den Kommentaren.Just ist die sagenhafte Pizza EP von HORSE the Band erschienen. Diese dreht sich ausschließlich um... Pizza. Die Tracklist gibt es ebenfalls: in den Kommentaren.Nach der ersten Head Automatica-Single Graduation Day gibt es mit Lying through your teeth nun eine weitere und auch ein Video dazu. Genau das kann man sich nun anschauen.Ein anderes Video gibt es von Underoath, die einen geheimen myspace-Gig spielten und dabei den neuen Song Writing on the Walls zum besten gaben. Das Video gibt es hier.Aller guten Dinge sind drei. Deswegen gibt es auch noch ein neues Video von Trivium mit dem Titel Entrance of the Conflagration. Via youtube kann man sich dieses hier zu Gemüte führen.Das 2003er Album The Silent Circus von den großartigen Between the Buried and Me soll zusammen mit einer DvD mit Live-Aufnahmen, Videos und Bonusmaterial am 3. Oktober neu veröffentlicht werden.Dover veröffentlichen ein neues Album. Dieses trägt den Titel Follow the City Lights und wird zumindest in Spanien am 2.10. veröffentlicht.Nicht nur, dass myspace in Zukunft damit beginnen will Songs zu verkaufen, nun wird auch noch die Streaming-Qualität auf 96 kbps und 22 kHz verringert werden. Grund dafür sind angeblich die Kosten. Experten sagen: Vielleicht wird myspace auch noch generell kostenpflichtig. Wir sagen: Gar nicht cool und qualitativ Mist.
-------------- Some people never go crazy. What truly horrible lives they must lead.
As a lot of you may know, for the past month or so, weve been writing and recording our next album. We didnt want to say anything official until wed finalized a lot of the details, but now that were getting rolling on it, we want you guys to be the first to know what the plans are for this album.
We have started writing and recording a 4 disc concept record, with each disc being themed sonically and thematically to correspond with the four natural elements - earth, air, water and fire. The final album will have somewhere between 20 and 25 songs, divided between the 4 discs.
We are approaching the whole project in a new way for us, both writing and recording. Writing with these elements in mind, we are letting them shape the direction of the songs sonically and thematically. And for the first time, were recording the record ourselves as we write it, freeing us up to change things as we go.
We are very excited about the project and are looking forward to sharing more details as the record takes shape. Were also in the process of setting up a site dedicated to keeping you up to date on our progress, so keep a look out for that in the near future.
For our friends on the west coast, we have two events to talk about. The first is the Race for the Cure later this month. Well be doing the race this year along with our friends Chuck Ragan and The Cold War Kids. Dustin, Chuck, and the Cold War Kids will be doing a special acoustic show after exclusively for those who attend the Race with us. All of the sign up details are posted on our MySpace page.
Also, we wil be heading out on a few dates in October, with two awesome bands - These Arms are Snakes and Planes Mistaken for Stars. Were putting together a brand new setlist, digging up some old songs we havent played in a while, songs weve never played live before, and a couple of the new songs were working on.
Stay tuned for more details about the elements, videos, and pictures. Well get to all of that as the album progresses. We look forward to seeing you all soon.
HORSE the Band - Tracklist zur Pizza EP:
1. Anti-Pizza 2.Crippled by Pizza (Pizzarrhea in the Pizzeria) 3. Werepizza 4. Pizza Nif 5. T.M.N.T. (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Cover)
und noch einmal das statement der band zur pizza ep:
"Scum. We left that tour because we ate really, really, really good pizza in Lou Malnati's in Chicago with Dave's grandparents. The pizza was such that we were inspired by God to write music of the kind not heard in this world since Mozart was fed his first currywurst. A copy of Nietzsche's "The Gay Science" was onhand and for 2 days we struggled with the question posed in "the Greatest Weight" passage, which follows. In essence, it asks the reader to examine their every action if they had to repeat their lives exactly for all eternity, begging "the question in each and every thing, "Do you desire this once more, and innumerable times more?"
We couldn't decide if we should stay in Chicago and keep eating pizza for the rest of our lives. But after two days of rigorous theory, we realized we had to write divine music about the pizza. We decided to drive home immediately and write and record a 5-song EP called "Pizza" before Sounds of the Underground and Warped Tour started. God was there.
Some tentative songs are "Crippled by Pizza", "Werepizza" (like a werewolf but just a kid with really bad acne whose face looks like pepperoni pizza), "Pizzarrhea in the Pizzaria", "Antipizza" (pizza made out of antimatter), and "Pizza Knife" (the heavy song). Also we will include our cover of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles theme before Evergreen Terrace starts playing it and because the turtles love pizza. And we might put a song on there called "I Ate Her Pussy Like a Pizza". And "Hold the Anchovies duuuuuuude!"
We're gonna release a CDEP and vinyl. The super limited vinyl edition will come on a 10" pizza-shaped picture disc (the picture is going to be pizza) and will come in a personal pizza take out box. Also the record will be edible. Haha. No, just fooling guys!!! We won't be taking pre-orders for these, we are going to organize a fighting tournament to see who gets them so all you pussy ass record traders on vivalapussy.org won't have a chance at these. Also they are going to be EXPENSIVE as fuck so you won't want to buy two, and we will make the money off of them, not you. They will also be the first release on our label, Kangarooster Records.
And I am setting aside 5 copies for the upstate New York scene because we are such assholes for cancelling two shows there in one year. Oh wait no, I'm not. Handle it, upstate New York. Where the fuck were you when we played in Oswego and Syracuse? Sucking on your mommy's titties probably... Oh slam.
To help us write the album you should send us pizza. Look into it at Lou Malnati's To go and if you are ready to make the commitment email us (horsetheband@hotmail.com) and we'll give you an address to send the pizza to. We prefer Cheese and Sausage, or Cheese and Spinach. And don't fuck around with the ones that only feed 2 people. If you send us pizza before we are done recording this we will thank you on the menu that comes with the pizza vinyl.
"The Greatest Weight" - What, if some day or night a demon were to steal after you in your loneliest loneliness and say to you: "This life as you now live it and have lived it, you will have to live once more and innumerable times more; and there will be nothing new in it, but every pain and every joy and every thought and sigh and everything unutterably small or great in your life will have to return to you, all in the same succession and sequenceeven this spider and this moonlight between the trees, and even this moment and I myself. The eternal hourglass of existence is turned upside down again and againand you with it, speck of dust!" Would you not throw yourself down and gnash your teeth and curse the demon who spoke thus? Or have you once experienced a tremendous moment when you would have answered him: "You are a god and never have I heard anything more divine!" If this thought gained possession of you, it would change you as you are or perhaps crush you; the question in each and every thing, "Do you desire this once more, and innumerable times more?" would lie upon your actions as the greatest weight! Or how well disposed would you have to become to yourself and to life to crave nothing more fervently than this ultimate eternal

zu Myspace: Experten sind dumm. Myspace hätte garkeine ngrund das ganze Kostenpflichtig zu machen. ich will überhaupt nicht wissen wieviel Kohle Myspace mit Werbung macht. Bestimmt mehr als wenn es kostenpflichtig wäre, ergo sie würden sich vermutlich so ziemlich ins eigene Fleisch schneiden. Kann zwar sein dass ich mich Irre, aber wie oft wurde schon gesagt dass ICQ usw kostenpflichtig wird und es war immer ein sinnloser Hoax.
bin ja mal echt gespannt auf das neue thrice album. ich persönlich erwarte nicht viel ... aber ich lass mich natürlich gerne von dem gegenteil überzeugen.
wieso erwartest du nicht viel? ich erwarte nach vheissu etwas genau so überragendes. aber man sollte seine erwartungen wohl herunterschrauben. sonst ist man so schnell enttäuscht.
