Whats Going Annis
For those of you who are wondering here’s an update on what we’ve been up to:
For the past six months or so our main focus has been writing new music for a future release. As of right now we have six songs together along with several half written songs that will either be made into future classics or shit sandwiches. For our own enjoyment we’ve tentatively titled some of the finished songs after inside jokes (as we usually do) like our song “I made Ripper Cry.” This title comes from an incident on our 2002 tour when Jamie made our tour manager Ripper cry. It’s a longer story then that but if I told you it wouldn’t be an inside joke anymore (plus its not that interesting). If you were at any of our last few shows you may of heard the song as well as “Novelty” which were the first post “Clearing the Channel” songs to be put together. While these two aren’t a very far departure from the past music we’ve assembled, other songs like “Greenlight” go in a bit of a different direction. More then ever before we’ve really been experimenting with looking at the writing process differently. This includes not only rethinking song structure but also the instrumentation in the band. Not all of our “experiments” have worked out but others have. A good example of this would be one of our half written songs where instead of playing guitar Tony plays keyboards. Nothings final yet but if our thought process continues down this path you can certainly expect some new sides of the band to be shown with our next release.
Stay tuned for more news on the writing process as we head into the studio in 2007.
You forgot to mention “Gay Words” and “Keeper of the Tweez”. Those are some good (and new) songs. Oh, and there’s another one called “Hershey Squirt.” Seriously. It’s a good song.
GAHHHH can’t waitttt
In 7 years, when you guys are super famous and your multi-billion dollar contract requires you to put out 5 albums in 6 years, your fans would appreciate it if your throw-away album was titled “Shit Sandwiches” with all the songs that never made it. And also Captain Salty.
