MARATHON SESSION!
So I spent the last three days holed up in the studio working on some material for Davidoth, TFH, and &Hearts. During this marathon session I was able to record a track for Davidoth that I feel is quite possibly, the best track I have recorded to date. I want the new Davidoth album "Something You Could Never Understand" to be a masterpiece. We are not going to repeat the same mistakes we did with "Oath". Anyways, this new track... Well next week I am heading back into the studio and I am going to try and get a preliminary master done on it, then I might give you all a sneak peak. Maybe.

Bones
This show definitely kicks ass! Me and my wife just discovered it and we can't get enough of it. Could this be something new to tickle my muse...? Possibly Maybe...

...Nothing.
"We cast everything to the wind, hoping one day it would come back, but knowing it never would.We gave up all we had for love, we lost all we were for this.
My heart is no longer whole, just ashes blowing in the breeze.
What you thought you could fix this?
I have dreamt a million years in one night, I have seen a million places in one gaze.
I have walked a million miles in your touch and I’m still lost.
How could you hope to find me when I can't find myself?"
Horizons...

Inspirational women of music: Black and White.
"Amy Winehouse"Over the years so many artists have added something to my life in one way or another. Today I wanted to do something to showcase some of the most influential and inspirational women in music, at least to me.
All of these ladies added something to both my art, and my person. Black and White just seemed to be a fitting medium for this project.
These ladies are sexy, and strong. Smart and Talented. Inspiring and Amazing.
Thanks for everything.
"Madonna"
"Poe"
"Amy Winehouse"
"TLC"
"Stevie Nicks"
"Shirley Manson"
"Kylie Minogue"
"Diana Ross"
"Bjork"
"Aaliyah"

Some "Oath" Info.
So work on finishing up Oath continues and I have made a few major decisions with this album that I want to share with everyone.
First, As we all know a major disaster stuck the country of Haiti this month. Many people have reached out and given what they can with monetary donations and some have even traveled down to the epicenter to give aid. In tough economic times it's always great to see that people still care and are willing to help when others need it.
I have been watching the events unfold since the quake happened as I do with most world events. (Those who know me know I'm a CNN junkie.) And the entire situation has made me realize just how good I have it. How lucky I have been thus far in life, and I have been counting my blessings.
That being said, I feel it's necessary for me to do some more to help, however I can...
So I have decided that I am going to donate 100% of the sales from Oath (after the distributor's fee of coarse) to the American Red Cross - International Relief Fund. This is probably not going to be allot but, I think that the whole ideology that Oath is based on would make this decision a good one. Oath is about Honor, Duty, Service and a yearning for peace within ones self. And I feel we need to do more and give more where we can.
My mom called me up yesterday morning as I was leaving work and told me another 6.1 aftershock had hit the city. My mom is a nurse so she knows some people who are down there giving aid and she was worried about everyone. The people of the city, the doctors, Soldiers, search and rescue, everyone. And I couldn't believe that they had gotten hit again, thank God no one else died from that aftershock.
Then when I read this in a CNN article it sealed the deal for me:
Wow...
On to the specifics of the release. The Album/EP will be released on 02/02/2010. I have decided to try a new distribution system for this album. I am going to be going with ReverbNation as a distributor for this release. Doing so will allow us to give a much better package with a 4 page booklet (vs 2), Disc print, and insert print both in and out. This release will only be available from our ReverbNation store upon release. I am still working out the specifics on this piece so I will fill in details as I get them.
Thank you all for everything.

"We have run out of IVs and IV needles and IV fluids," said Dr. Mark Hyman of the medical relief organization Partners in Health. "We've run out of surgical supplies. We have to wash with vodka, and we have to operate with hacksaws because we don't have enough operating tools."
Wow...

"Oath" News.
"Oath final cover art" Wow, I never thought recording "Oath" would end up being so much fun!
Recording and working on it has been a blast. Right when I thought it was finished it began to take on a world of its own and we are off running again! With less than a month before the release date Me, Chaitan and Ed are busting balls to finish songs I didn't even conceive two months ago. It's starting to look like Oath might end up being a full length album instead of just an EP... We shall see where this takes us and we will work right up to the wire on this if we have to. Be prepared for some crazy shit, it's coming!
For now I really can't release a final track listing because I just don't know how many more songs we will finish before we are forced to call it quits. What I can tell you is that we have gone in and revamped a few of the original cuts and started making some killer new tracks. One of which is a track titled "Na'Vi". We were so inspired by James Cameron's epic 'Avatar' that we feel compelled to pay homage to it in song.
I have also been working on some exclusive tracks for my friends over at Alpha Swagger... More info on those soon!
What I can release now is the cover art! =)
This is gonna be good.
-Enjoy!!!
