Did I miss anything?

Let me see….  New interviews? New website? New sub label announce?  New tracks announce? Hell yeah…

But seriously, I’m not that much impressed. New interviews (Q Magazine, Self tilted)? Well, yeah, Liam & Co finally published some honest things. But still anything that we didn’t know.

New website? Yeah, that’s a quite best that happened for a long time I can remember. The new Prodigy site doesn’t have a great design or ideas behind, but hey, it does contain some text information now! It’s a really big progress for the band. Of course, I don’t count on  Liam’s going to post something interesting in his blog, but now he’s got the ability to see fans response at least.

New sub label ("Take me to the hospital")? Yeay, mama, take me to the hospital! This is next one good news. The band realized they are not alone in the breaks. I know a bunch of artists who makes damn rocking stuff, and at the same time they have to wander all the way searching a label to be heard by fans who wonder where the hell quality breaks music gone. I’m not really sure the new label is going to be something really useful, but hell knows, maybe Liam would find a couple of pounds to buy a couple of samples…

New tracks? Well, as a second class human being I have to wait some downloads available. I’m not sure the band is going to upload proper versions, I’d rather expect something like 50 seconds of 64 kbps mono mp3 files. So, I really hope some one bring some nice recording device to the shows.

By the way… I’ve been surfing around the net and found the Second Division at the last.fm page, I was really surprised some people do listen to my stuff :) There are 28 listeners at the moment, but hey, I didn’t upload anything to the last.fm yet. From this moment and further on I’m going to use last.fm for releasing TSD music as well.

Don’t believe the hype

As many of you know there was a lot of “news” that the new Prodigy album is approaching. A couple of days ago, we got an exact date 5th May. Then it’s been claimed the date is made up and basically it’s just a rumor. Actually, I must admit I don’t believe the date is real neither. But still, there is a small hope that was sort of promo-hype. Maybe the date is wrong, plus minus one months I don’t give a fuck since it’s not about years. There are some more good signs.. But meanwhile I bought Korg MS2000R and my *studio* looks this way:

Happy New Motherfucking Year

Another ball-sucking year is gone… So, it was emptiest and poorest year ever passed away. The year was full of painful news and awful tunes. The only good thing that happened to me during the last year actually I did my self - I got my health back. A couple of stress-tests I did recently shown that my lungs kicks some serious ass now - I’m able to run a couple of kilometers within -35C air temperature without any sings of bronchismus. So, it seems it took 1.5 years to recover my damn health. And since there were no Prodigal releases I barely got some inspiration or even health to make some remixes.

Lets hope this new year will be less ball-sucking. I’m fucking tired of *Howlett vs Paparazi* news and tons of *soundcrap* releases. Lets hope Liam will get some guts to make some serious shape on his butt chicks. I’m actually quite interested in his future. The new Prodigy album will show how long the band is going to live. Anyway, I’m not interested in Prodigy breakdown, and without being sarcastic I’d like to gift my old (1993), and probably first in Russia, Sex Pistols vinyl release to Liam as a NY present. I’m not really sure if it’s possible to send it via regular post and I don’t think Liam is going to get it himself neither… Maybe, one, motherfucking day, I’ll be able to give all the things and words to Liam. Then it’s gonna make some serious sense. But now it’s just another ball-sucking year is coming…

Where is THAT Liam?

No shit guys, where is that Liam?

This is quite cool to see the old video, where Liam is young, rave is still alive, Liam’s bedroom is full of stuff except the bed. My bedroom looks quite close to Liam’s one. I don’t have W30, but I’ve got some stuff like old soviet Ritm-2 analogue synth which mostly is a copy of Moog Prodigy. I do remember myself when I was 19. Liam did Charly in his 19, I did Carmen Queasy remix in my 19. I hadn’t got millions of $ since then, but maybe it’s for the best, whacha think?

P.S. RapidShare version of the video.

P.P.S. one more track from the Siberian Plague album is uploaded - Wanna Do It Now.

Requiem for the respect

Liam, you’ve played for the bad people. I know you need money. I know they’ve paid you a lot. And you know, I think it’s right, because I wouldn’t give a shit for your live playing.

Don’t get it personally, but I think you’ve fucked up the band. It’s not because of the gig. It’s not because of the fucking old set-list. It’s not because of shit releases. It’s not because of millions of promises. It’s not because of drugs. It’s not because of champagne. It’s not because of Memphis Bells. It’s not because of Disneyland. It’s not because of years of silence full of shit news.

Do you know what’s the connection between the band and it’s fans? It’s the connection you’ve lost. It’s the time when you don’t need my money. It’s the time I won’t buy your album.

I’m not a good English writer, but there is a such thing like balance in the world. The balance doesn’t give a fuck about civil laws. It’s got own *laws*, we call it luck, fate, fortune, doom, whatever. Anything you get undeservedly comes back as a loss.

I hope you’ve spent my respect for good things.
