Create your own band and album

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Abortive first and only album from Pine River Township, Minnesota before the band was sued into the ground by the actual conurbation. Released through an EMI-franchised label called Human Barbecue Records, only one hundred copies were pressed, and those that weren't burned on bio-hazard grounds are collectors items, and exchange shaking hands on ebay for thousands of dollars.

PRTM sound like soap opera theme music piped through a supermarket tannoy. Which has been dropped in a bath. If you can get past the dire production, the lyrics are inane warblings about flowers, puppies, and waiting in queues. Singer Dave McRob's sleeve notes refer to his writing process, which is to drop acid and sit on a children's play park slide furiously scribbling until the police arrive with his trousers.

The best track by far, however, is 'Fascists on Wall Street' which, rumours suggest, was written by tubby Canadian freedom fighter Michael Moore, and is apparently the State of the Union address played backwards - revealing Satanic messages, all recorded over a drum track that causes the human skeletal structure to resonate at sixteen hundred cycles a second.
Not to be played longer than one minute forty nine seconds.

Won't work with Zeno. He's got a Mac already (a black one :von: )

If you use windows, choose the "insert word art" thingy & you can bend the text as you wish.

I make mine completely in powerpoint, again with the wordart as said above. The functionalities are no more limited then I am, so it suits me fine for the job.
I like these calm little moments before the storm. It reminds me of Beethoven. Can you hear it? It's like when you put your head to the grass and you can hear the growin' and you can hear the insects.

Alas, I'm another computer illiterate oik when it comes to some things... how can I put a piccy on here?! :oops:

On a seperate note,

Band : Thrombin Receptor
Album : Eating Frozen Radio Dinners

Debut album by Antarctican 5 piece Thrombin Receptor. The Daily Antarctican has hailed it as the 'Nevermind' for the 2000's. The New York Times has gone even further & claimed its "possibly the greatest debut album ever released." British tabloid The Sun thinks its crap. Lyrically astounding, muscially phenomenal, this album cannot be put into a catergory, it doesn't have a specific style. It makes you shed tears of joy, it makes you dance, it makes you happy. It makes you want to take days off work to sit & listen to it all day, over & over & over.

If your alive & breathing, its essential to your future to own this. If your neither alive nor breathing, its your loss.

Been a while since I done one of these...

An album of soul-searing spleen-venting teen angst-rock from Milwaukee combo Traitor's Gate, "Putting on it's shoes" (the title comes from a Mark Twain quote, "A lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes.") details the collapse of lead singer Fred Durrrhhh's high-school romance (last week) across 10 tracks. First song "I wrote her name on my school book" is a deceptively simple lullaby, but things rapidly go downhill from there, and by the time we get to the astonishing midsection of "She wouldn't go to the prom with me" and "The baseball team captain is a jerk", we are truly in classic Traitor's Gate territory. Final track "The world can burn in hell for all I care" unveils it's nihilistic contempt for the established societal structures over 10 minutes of pummeling feedback and anguished screaming.

One to watch out for!

'Understand Everything Too Soon' is the debut and, due to a studio accident, last product of the team made up of producer and sound engineer Hans Nimmermehr (Founder and owner of the German Boppard based Nevermore Records and Nevermore Studio) and his keyboarder he only introduces using the artist's name of "Der Catcher".
According to Nimmermehr the work very soon developed in the direction of an all-live project that was led by spontane changes in the exterior conditions. Despite having been intended to become a full album, it now mainly features four remixes of the same track which all feature a rather generic demo-style, which is to transport "the vivid and unpredictable wildness of the process of creation itself" (Nimmmermehr).

The tracks are: 1-Understand Everything Too Soon; 2-Flanger; 3-Filter; 4-Chorus; 5-Flogging A Dead Horse

Track five is played by H.Nimmermehr himself. Unlike the first four, it is an ambient-style interprtation of Stockhausen's formerly unknown 'Dissonata'.

"We used very unusual but effective motivation support, and thus managed, despite initial quarreling over details, to get a task oriented working athmosphere. Unfortunately, even motivation trainer Igor couldn't make The Catcher come up to all jobs he was signed up for"
It was said that, after hearing the CD, an arts critic asked an Imam for a fatwah against Nimmermehr, who is delighted about that kind of propaganda.
Additionally, the CD contains a couple of portraits and drawings by Nimmermehr's four year old daughter who, according to Mrs. Nimmermehr, arts pedadgogue and author of several books on coincidence and creation in arts, is a very talented girl.
Nimmermehr offers track 1-'Understand Everything Too Soon' as free download, available here.
The CD itself will be available for 30€ at Nimmermehr Records' online shop.
