damn that's fucking funny. kudos! (and congrats to the happy couple)

now that was pretty fucking cool too. made a pilgrimage to the land of newbury because i needed to pick up the afore mentioned items by Tool. just listened to both of the Lustmord mixes of Schism (20 min) and Parabol (11 min, no Parabola mix) and both are very cool and different, taking elements of the song, but more in a secondary way. Schism actually takes nearly 10 minutes before we get the first real hints of the song.

didn't listen to the comentary for Schism (David Yow i think), but Jello is pretty funny. both songs have a dual commentary thing where one commentary is on the left channel, and another on the right channel. Jello was his always entertaining self, and for part of it, his commentary is nearly in sync, talking about record labels and how he interpreting the imagery. pretty funny stuff.

and the best news was on the packaging, where it says that there will be a new album in Spring 2006. WOO HOO! finally. but when i saw that, i started thinking that when Salival (to quote Maynard - JESUS FUCKING CHRIST!) came out, it was almost exactly 5 years ago to the day (5 years 8 days). that certainly bodes well for a spring release of

happy happy joy joy.
