Tunes for Saturn
I have a few things to announce!

First, there will be no 2 Sense Show today like I said there would be. I probably should have said something sooner. I had intended to make the last show of the season before I took off for my Winter touring stuff. However, Jibba has gone down to Alabama to see his mother for the holidays and he will not be back until after I've taken off.

So, we will do the final show of the season in a couple of weeks, when I get back.

Second thing... I'm looking forward to performing for you Aussie furs! I'll be at Midfur X in Melborne and I hope to do a good show, meet good friends and drink good beer. And don't forget the beer part. Beer is the oil that keeps gryphons funny. And not just if you drink yourself. I have to have some too! :)

Third thing... Mine auto ist kaput! I'm not sure what's wrong with my car, but I don't think it's supposed to sound like a jackhammer and a team of horses when you're driving down the street. I have to get it fixed, because I have the feeling it's not going to last much longer! ...Shit I have to even know what's wrong with it! But unless I get the money to fix it, I'll be carless.

So! Starting in January, I'm going to record the best damn rock music album that's ever come out of the fandom. Okay... probably not the best. But I'll try my damnedest! And I'm going to sell it to get the money to repair my car.

I haven't recorded an album in a long time, and I needed a name for the "group". I've chosen the name, "Homo-erotic Disco Werewolves." And I'm hoping to make some tunes that furries everywhere will be able to relate to and sing along with. The album will be called "Tunes for Saturn"... because my car is a Saturn. Get it? It's... you know... funny?

In any case, that's all for now! See you in Australia!

	I'll glady have drinks with you when you get here, and pay for them too, though after London I think I'll let you do the ordering. Looking forward to meeting you at last, as well as the rest of the MFX awesomeness! (Reply to this)

	"Themes of Saturn" seems to have a better ring to it than "tunes", but that's just me. Whatever the title, I'm sure whatever music-like noises you generate will be highly in demand :) I'm not much of a rock person, but I might give a listen when you've got the album ready :) (Reply to this)

	When I read it, "Homo-erotic Disco Werewolves" and "Tunes for Saturn" make me instantly think of Saturnalia for some reason. And now I see the cover art being three werewolves dancing under Saturn. Why do you put images in my head? (Reply to this)

Alright, you're coming to the land of Aus. Well, firstly it will be Summer touring stuff, at least it will be when you are over here. Secondly, as you are planning to drink beer, try some of our better ones (NOT Fosters). I would recommend Coopers. Pale is alright, Sparkling is quite a nice drink though you need to roll the bottle a few times, possibly even invert it and spin prior to opening to mix up all the floaty yummy bits and make it not as see through. Though your comments relating to the see-through-ed-ness of beer and how if you can see through it, it isn't beer. Try Coopers Best Extra Stout. It is, frankly, a magnificent stout. Has a really nice flavour to it and quite a good alcohol concentration. Each bottle is about two standard drinks. So, you can drink a bit slower and enjoy it. Tooheys, New and Extra Dry are acceptable 'bar beers' when ordering by the jug they are usually a good cost and don't taste bad at all. Sometimes you will chance upon Tooheys Old which is an 'old black ale', quite enjoyable and overall good tasting. It again falls into the 'can't see through' quality. XXXX is named so because Queenslanders can't spell beer, and apparently with Gold can't make a very good one (similar to your 'goat piss' beers of the US). Though XXXX Gold is usually the cheapest on tap at a Bar (at least in Queensland where you can't find a Bar without XXXX). VB, or Victoria Bitter, well, it is the Victorian version of XXXX, readily available but not all that good. Cascade, Crown and Hahn are all quite nice. Try a few of our different ones and make up your own mind. If I could go down there to Midfur X and meet you, it would have been a pleasure to go through many with you. Hope you enjoy yourself while visiting the land of Aus. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Just listen to any punk band that's released material in the last 8 years. There's a slew of those songs! (Reply to this) (Parent)

	So THAT'S why Jibba's been quiet so far...I hope he checks FA while on his trip. Not to put a damper on the man's trip, but there's some stuff he'd likely be interested in resolving. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	2_gryphon 2008-12-04 01:54 am UTC (link)
	Naw, he's seen it. It's a little interesting to him because it's his first "attack rumor" as it were. But we might say something about it on the next 2 Sense, simply because... well... I think it's hilarious. :) (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)(Expand)

	So, will there be---- real drums? Cause, you know, there's just something about---- drums. You know, 'cause I haven sessioned for other artist's recordings since like--- August, and, like, fuck. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	2_gryphon 2008-12-04 02:03 am UTC (link)
	I can play real drums! Sadly though, I don't have a set. Unfortunately, it's a lot easier to record e-drums, since you don't need a mic for every darned head and symbol. So e-drums it will be, I'm afraid. Unless, of course, you're making a proposal. And your recordings sound wicked good? (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)(Expand)

Our car kersploded in May. We were going to get another car, but... It hasn't happened. Thank god for public transport being so spiffy in Melbourne. Can't wait for your show at MFX! I'll definitely be there. And from what I hear, the Dealer's tables will be within veiwing range of the stage, so if you wish to peruse my wares afterwards you are entirely welcome :) Will this album be available for purchase from your site?

	I have my pawfingers crossed. Last time I heard a sound like that coming from a car, it was a blown piston and snapped rod. I really hope this isn't the case for you. New or even repaired engines don't come cheap. (Reply to this)

There are so many great expected releases in music for 2009. ARE YOU UP FOR 'DA CRITICAL CHALLENGE? I am totally looking forward to the Homo-erotic Disco Werewolves debut album. How will you be selling it? Through Rabbit Valley? Through CD Baby? Or are you going completely indie and creating your own record label from your home? Hell, do all three. Gives people options.

Jesus christ, I really shouldn't have linked 2 to the LJ post blaming Jibba of any wrongdoing. This is all my fault and I take full responsibility. Any berating of me on both Jibba and 2's parts, as well as any other co-host's part if Jibba is unavailable, is accepted and will not garner reprisal. I will even fully endorse any public bashing of me on the 2Sense program. I'm THAT sorry. (For any reference, my name's pronounced like the last name of a well-known large-chinned late-night NBC host.) (Reply to this) (Thread)
