Everything is Illuminated
posted by Jan on September 1 @ 12:26pm CST
Wow, so I haven't posted a new update in a really long time. I've been really busy working, and I haven't had anytime to put into the projects I should be focusing on (instead of working at a full-time job and working on my business). To make a long story short, if I have told you I would work on your project and haven't gotten anything done for you... please forgive me. To be honest, I've been really stupid about the whole thing. To make up for it, I have been putting together some figures, talking to my parents, and am going to be visiting a bank soon. What does this mean? Say hello to Season 3. Be prepared. A lot of changes are going to be made about the way things are run around here.
GCA Contest Up Now!
posted by Jan on August 9, 2007 @ 1:35am CST
Go Crash Audio are fresh of their stint on Warped Tour, and the band was kind enough to sign a drum head for me to give out to you. They also gave me a CD and demos of their new material to give to you as well. Funny story. I put the items on my vehicle, drove off, and they flew onto the highway. I went back an hour later to find the demo CD in pretty bad shape, the copy of "With Wings & Radar" in good condition as only the CD case itself was broken (CD just fine), and the drum head sitting in the ditch. Lucky me. Now it's your turn. Get lucky and enter the contest to win a drum head signed by Go Crash Audio, a copy of "With Wings & Radar", and an Applicant Apparel T-shirt or zip-up hoodie. The winner will be announced September 7th!

The Maine Post Live Video
posted by Jan on August 9, 2007 @ 1:31am CST
The Maine have have posted a live video for their song "Shake It". This video showcases their energetic live show & the fact the kids always love you best when you're at home. I'd just like to shout out Ryan his project The Raintree for helping get one my favorite new bands where they are now. This band is just waiting for their time to shine.
Rushmore Academy's New Song
posted by Jan on August 20, 2007 @ 1:30am CST
Rushmore Academy have posted the sickest song on the Internet as of right now. "Take This How You Want To" is a song you will fall in love with the second you hear it. Trust me, you need to go to their Myspace right now and listen.

posted by Jan on August 6, 2007 @ 5:59pm CST

I fully support his decision, and I hope both The Elation and Dan prosper from this. The band has recently released their new EP, "Purpose and Meaning", on Delphine Records. Grab a copy while you still can!
