Man, I just realized how close summer is to being over. And how little I've done of anything to qualify this as even a crappy summer. I'm gonna be so pissed off when it's time for school again. Fortunately I have two concerts to look forward to, one of the 12 dates for the thirteenth step tour, and I'm not permitted to talk about the other one. I've been to the movies more times this year than every other year of my life combined, which may or may not be a good thing. I have to get working on something... I don't know what. I've been playing Chrono Trigger and Ocarina of Time and FF3 a lot, so I haven't had much of a chance to do anything else, especially on the site. I find I'm most productive on the site when I have 24 hours to do it.

New information on APC.org:

'"Weak And Powerless" is the first single from the album. The track will impact radio stations on August 4th

YES, James Iha is officially in the band.'

The latter has been up for a while, but now we know the info on the singles. If it reaches radios on the 4th, that means we'll get to hear it before a majority of people. Because, unfortunately, I've found it impossible to hear any of the songs from the new album. I downloaded each one, and they only have silence for about 20 seconds. They've managed to keep them from us, which I feel fine with. I like the element of surprise...

The other day I ordered three products on the internet. They are as follows; "The Ultimate Sin" and "Just Say Ozzy" from Ozzy Osbourne, and Golden Sun for GBA. As some of you probably know, I lost Golden Sun about a year ago, and I wanted to have it before I had Golden Sun 2: The Lost Age. "The Ultimate Sin" already came in, but I'm deciding whether to listen to it now (I've already opened it) or wait until my birthday... three months away... It's a hard decision, I want to be satisfied with my birthday, but I also want to be satisfied with this crummy piece of shit summer, too.

Possible reason for the blank APC tracks on Kazaa.

I recently found out (as in five minutes ago) that along with APC's first 12 shows, they will tour with Pygmy Love Circus, Danny Carey's other band. I haven't heard anything from the pigs, but I expect them to be pretty good. Following the 12 headlining concerts, they play 7 Lollapalooza dates, then eight European dates with the Deftones.

MONUMENTAL DATE IN ANY PREFERRED HISTORY

Behold children, for I have accomplished a great feat which has been done by few. Starting at exactly 8:00 AM, Thursday morning, I began listening to all of Al's cds. At 12:00 Noon, I decided a nap was in order. I slept until 3:00. I resumed listening until 11:17 PM, upon which the 12 cds were finally consumed in my thoughts. Oh, then guess what?

shibby1623: laterz

So I did. And it was 7:30 when i went to sleep. IF ANYBODY WANTS TO FRIGGIN TRY ME, GO AHEAD. You cannot listen to all of Al's studio albums TWICE in 24 hours. I did. I am the king. You can't stop me. I am what you want to be, yet what you'll never be. IS THERE ANYONE WHO CAN STAND UP TO MY INSANE SKILLS? NO THERE ISN'T, SO BACK OFF!
