THE ROCK (R.I.P)

Just found out that one of our favorite spots to play a show has closed it's door. The Rock in Maplewood MI was always a rockin' good time and everyone who worked there was awesome! Here is a video of our last show there... someone shot this from behind the stage.

PACK YOUR BAGS!!


Astronomers say they have for the first time spotted a planet beyond our own in what is sometimes called the Goldilockszone for life: Not too hot, not too cold. Juuuust right.

Not too far from its star, not too close. So it could contain liquid water. The planet itself is neither too big nor too small for the proper surface, gravity and atmosphere.

It's just right. Just like Earth.

"This really is the first Goldilocks planet," said co-discoverer R. Paul Butler of the Carnegie Institution of Washington.

The new planet sits smack in the middle of what astronomers refer to as the habitable zone, unlike any of the nearly 500 other planets astronomers have found outside our solar system. And it is in our galactic neighborhood, suggesting that plenty of Earth-like planets circle other stars.

Finding a planet that could potentially support life is a major step toward answering the timeless question: Are we alone?

GEORGE LUCAS NEEDS A NEW HOBBY


As if adding sub par digital FX to the original three good Star Wars movies wasn't enough...

George Lucas is set on rereleasing the "Star Wars" franchise in new 3D conversions beginning in 2012. Although 3D versions have been rumored for some time, Lucas purportedly was waiting until there were enough screens available to make the release a sizable event.

Blah.

MEMORIES....

Wow! I don't even remember ever playing this song live, but I guess we did! Unless this video in the work of some amazing CGI! Anyway, this was an interesting time for the band. Post Mega Kung Fu Radio but not quite all the way into our Tonight The Stars Revolt era. Definitely a transition period. Must say though, this is a pretty cool blast from the past!

SOME OTHER THOUGHTS ON THE NEW ALBUM!

Somewhere on the Other Side of Nowherehas its feet planted akimbo, with one in metal and the other in pop. If you need a reminder that the rules for rock have changed in the 21st century look no further than the utter lack of shame in this dichotomy. And that’s a good thing, in case you were wondering.

KIND WORDS.

Found this nice review of our latest. Yeah, it's old but what the hell. THANX http://www.kikaxemusic.com/

SOMEWHERE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF NOWHERE is a tasty 33 minute sonic journey that will leave hardcore fans craving for more. Once past the "intro" piece "Intelligent Creatures", Spider One and crew kick into high-gear with "Show Me What You've Got", reminding listeners why they liked PM5K in the first place. Charging into the first single "Super Villain" and through "V is for Vampire", the trip is more than half over. With 11 tracks (only nine of which are actual songs), the album's main fault is that it's just too damn short. SOMEWHERE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF NOWHERE can be compared to an amusement park ride: it's practically over before it begins, but in the end you'll scream "Again! Again!"

THE 10 RULES


After 20 years in the music biz, I have compiled the 10 rules you need to follow if you want to be in a band. ENJOY!!

1. RESPECT YOUR FANS

You might be a genius but without your fans you are alone, and make no mistake, they know better than you!

2. CONVINCE YOURSELF THAT YOU ARE AMAZING

Considering how miniscule the odds are at achieving any sort of success, you need to be convinced that you are awesome (even if you're not). If you have any doubt that you are not the next Beatles, you will quit as soon as your read a review that says you are worthless!

3. REALIZE THAT YOU SUCK

This FACT will keep you working hard.

4. PLEASE BE INTERESTING

Image is important. There is NO great artist that didn't have a strong image. Go ahead, name one. I dare you.

5. IT'S A MARATHON, NOT A SPRINT

If you think it happens over night, fuck off!

6. LISTEN TO OTHER PEOPLE (to a point)

Other people's opinions are important. You don't know it all. But at the end of the day it's your band and your career so you have to make the call and live with the consequences.

7. DON'T FEEL BAD ABOUT STEALING

We all do it. We steal when we write. It is an essential part of popular music and vital to it's survival. Just be creative when you do it.

8. DON'T BE A DICK

If you are fortunate enough to get some fans, make a few records and go on tour, please realize that you are still the same person that you where when you started. Treat people right (even the super fucking annoying ones!).

9. DON'T HAVE A PLAN B

If you do, you will use it.

10. HAVE FUN

Chasing a dream can be painful, try to enjoy it.

TEA BAGGERS DEMAND APOLOGY FROM CAPTAIN AMERICA!


Issue 602 of the comic features Captain America investigating a right-wing anti-government militia group called "the Watchdogs". Hoping to infiltrate the group, Captain America and his African-American sidekick The Falcon observe an anti-tax protest from a rooftop. The protestors depicted are all white and carry signs adorned with slogans almost identical to those seen today in Tea Party rallies like "tea bag libs before they tea bag you" and "stop the socialists."

An outraged Sarah Palin commented that the "Captain should be ashamed of himself and apologize to the American people." Advisors to the former governor of Alaska later explained to her that the comic hero was not real.
