How much Phideaux have you heard? I really want to hear more. I saw that review. I was so proud of you The only other stuff I've heard is Doomsday Afternoon, which is a grower for sure - but stonking brilliant when it finally hits you. I've heard assorted stuff from other albums which is hit and miss. Rain Boy is a fun song from The Great Leap. Go to his Bloodfish website and you can stream 2 or 3 full songs from each album. I'll let you know how Number 7 is when it's sent my way . I'm trying to convince him to send me more of his material Buying Doomsday Afternoon is just a matter of time. Be careful with that one. It is in every single way different from Chupacabras, took me about 4 months of listening before I "got" it. I haven't heard either of those but I've been curious. Is there any way you could try to relate to me what it sounds like or whether I would like it?

Chupacabras' title track is a marvel of modern prog. A 20-minute masterpiece which could take on giants like Supper's Ready and they would fight like Super Saiyans. Doomsday Afternoon is an emotional masterpiece which makes heavy use of recurring theme and hooks. Listen to Formaldyhyde on PA and tell me what you think.

Now it's on to Wheel of Fortune. 

A childhood favorite, but to me now, it's glorified "Hangman."

I hate gameshows I'd rather watch a short or a feature.

Hopefully I'll get one or two good concerts in 2009 that I can afford and really want to see. I probably wont be able to afford to go to any gig I want to until next mid next year perhaps anyway. Until at least February, I've got plans for money to spend on stuff.

Yeah, that's completely understandable.

I still need to somehow get the finances up to copyright my band's debut.

It costs money to copyright music in the US?

Well, if I want to get it copyrighted through the Library of Congress as opposed to a private organization, yes.

It doesn't cost much, but you know how tight finances can get around this time of year.

I fell in love with that track pretty quick too.

I'm just surprised it costs anything at all really.
Doesn't cost a cent to do that in Australia.

Yeah, I'm not entirely sure why it costs anything, but technically it is a service and thus I don't mind paying for it.

I'm not in a rush anyway. I'd rather have the album fully protected and wait to release it than rush it out there.

Okay, now I have to go clean. Someone tell me what to listen to. And NOT Zappa!
