It’s a little early, but everything is good to go on the new album Anomalous Materials Laboratory, and I will be working long hours of overtime today, so I won’t really have much of a chance to update the website tonight. You can now head over to the AML download page. Let me know what you think about it. I welcome any well thought out feedback, reviews, or testimonials.

It is available in the giant 134MB zip file (which contains the album art as well), or individual tracks.

Make sure to download the wallpaper as well.

I just finished the absolute final touches on the new album. It will be out Oct 1st as previously planned. 4 more days to go.

My song “Robot Space Party” from my Introspective Journeys artist page is to be featured on a book trailer for the Sarah Wagner science fiction book Hardwired Humanity, which is (to my understanding) a collection of short stories. You can watch the trailer on YouTube.

On a side note, Anomalous Materials Laboratory is coming along nicely, and I keep hearing little things I want to change. Still solid for an Oct. 1 release date.

Hello again, Antisoc - back from the hermitage.

I’m here to announce the completion of Anomalous Materials Laboratory. This means that I’ve just finished doing any last minute touch up work that I could hear and sending it on for review/feedback purposes. But according to my ears, this album is ready.

I’m gonna go ahead and set my release date: October 1st.

I need to write a rap song where each word starts with a. I think it would be about one rhyme.

But I digress…

Feast your eyes upon the wonder that is the album art for Anomalous Materials Laboratory:

Once again, courtesy of Phil Ridlen, artist extrordinaire.

Coming early October, I will be releasing this wondrously over hyped album.

Apparently I was too soon. Drunken Podcasting Month is September. Oops.

However, I really enjoyed doing this, and with Garageband, it was pretty freaking easy to organize.

Expect the *real* Drunken Podcasting Month podcast to be actually recorded in September.

Irregardless! This is a great podcast where I share some of my all time favorite music.

It is also my first podcast.

Antisocial Airwaves - Episode 1

I always said that AML would be released when HL2 Episode 3 was released. This was because I was still in the very early stages of making the album and didn’t want to set any definite release date. I thought when I finally got the album complete, Valve would be about done with it, and I could release it same day.

HOWEVER… THEY ARE TAKING TOO D@#% LONG!

I am aiming for an October release date. I plan to have everything wrapped up on the album in a few days time, with some extra time for that final polishing touch.

AND HERE’S THE KICKER…

I am not going to be releasing the vast number of songs on this album that I originally planned. Here is my reasoning:

• The songs themselves are very different in nature. I’m splitting the album up over 2-3 different releases that each have a more cohesive theme.
• I am probably a month away from finishing all the tracks originally slated for AML. This allows me to release music more gradually for more impact.
• Your ISP would hate you for downloading the whole 350MB album (probably around 80 minutes worth)
• I have album art provided by the extremely talented Philtr aka MC Localhost aka Phil Ridlen aka my brother. This allows for more hyper awesome album art.

The first release will indeed be called Anomalous Materials Laboratory, and will include all my Half Life themed tracks, as well as a collection of sci-fi themed instrumentals, and some other songs that I thought would fit the mood of that release. Expect a very worthwhile album!

And fear not! I will be eventually releasing Depressed Nerd 2.0 and Captcha. Hopefully before years end, but I’m not making any solid release dates for those yet.

Why will it live on you ask? Because of two things:

1) The monumental release of Rhyme Torrents 7 - make sure you’ve reddit and dugg it, then go download it

[Edit: I am actually on the RT7 release with the song Guitar Hero, and I forgot to specify that -Soc]

2) The first live show for Antisoc - if you missed it (very few people saw it) download the full 780+MB of the 30 minute set here . It was not without it’s flaws (the heat really got to me and I forgot the last verse of the last song), but mostly, it was a great show.

…I contract a head cold that reduces my ability to hit the high notes. I can’t do a dang thing right now. I feel ok, but I can’t sing or rap. This is going to delay the recording a week or two.

I recorded one more single that I made in about 4 hours time (start to finish). It’s a vertical scrolling shooter themed song based loosely on Zero Wing, but without the “all your base” and “someone set up us the bomb!” references.

I wrote a completely original song. You can listen to it at my myspace.

And if you bought that, I have a plot of land off the coast of florida to sell you.

Anyhoo, I am down to one song from AML that needs lyrics (deodorant), and after that all I need to do is record about 10 songs and master ‘em. That will be relatively easy and quick if I can stay motivated (and take lots of caffeine pillz).
