Psilodump

hehehe… I did this design for Paza Rahm‘s forthcoming netlabel release “Amigo EP” yesterday. The release itself will be released on The X-Dump Netlabel on Monday (May 7th) I think. I think the final version really hit the spot, cause now when I have my mind of other stuff and then come back and see the cover again it just totally makes me laugh ;D hahaha damn

I got the idea for this one after working on the covers and kinda coming up with these really crappy ones, giving up and going to bed. I couldn’t sleep and I was thinking about all sorts of things, when I all the sudden had it in front of me. Not this sort of finished idea but the mood and some details to build upon, almost when making music. So yesterday I just went on and put together the pieces and it just happened in a extremly lucky non-stop creative flow. I love it when that happends!

Hmm here is a bunch of the older ones that I did, which were totally crappy:

Good thing I didn’t settle for these ones xD haha

I saw Spiderman 3 the other night! I realized just a few hours before going that I would be needing glasses or contacts in order to see anything at the movie theatre, and my glasses were stolen last week. So I dug through some stuff and eventually found 4 lenses for my right eye and ONE for my left one! I had previously thought that I only had the 3 useless right eye lenses left, but I now stand corrected!! Yeehaaw..! So I saw the movie and I thought it was great :)
Pretty neat stuff in there.

No progress on the album, which worries me alot and makes me stressed out and depressed. Tonight and last night I was(/am) up doing a quick remaster of my “Washed” release, which I will be uploading on jamendo.com. I’ve got some reviews on the stuff that I have up already, which is nice, I guess :D The original 2004 release of “Washed” sounds rather crappy in it’s original mastering, and I think the new mastering will provide it a bit more justice. I won’t be including the remixes from the original release, cause it’s not only more mastering work but I also feel that they are kinda out-of-date and not that on-topic anymore, now 3 years later.

Moving on to something completely different; many people have messaged me asking what is wrong with my Myspace page, if it’s been haxXxorEd or something. The profile has in fact been trashed by myself, cause I’m tired of this kind of shallow self-promotional bullshit which kinda manifests these expressions of sickness in this attention-seeking culture of narcissism. Getting a myspace page was, at first, a joke for me. But since so many people were watching and it’s so easy to promote oneself, it becomes weird after a while. You tend to get addicted to the attention and it soon becomes obvious that getting the attention is more important than the substance. So I feel like the line between the joke and the actual reality of it somehow got blurred, to a point where it’s not funny anymore, and where my philosophy and relation to certain matters become invalid and untrustworthy.

I mean, how can I, at the same time, claim that I don’t care about attention and don’t see a connection between me as a person and my music, when I go around promoting myself in this way. It makes me sick. Horrible bullshit shit. Shitty shit-ass shitzorz. So I say fux it. When I’m done with my website I’m totally going to trash and abuse my myspace page even more, and never point my domain there again.

Soon I will try getting the new The X-Dump design up and going, as well.
There is a design I’m working on for it. Here is a sneak-peek of an early beta:

I think it looks pretty neat. But it’s not really finished. Then starts the php/mysql coding of it, which is the big work thingy. My vision of it is to keep it a bit clean, in some ironical sense, and allow people to log in to post comments on the news stuff. Also, I’m trying to avoid trying to stuff in as much stuff as possible, and instead divide the different parts into separate mini-sites. I think it will be better for everyone and it’s going to be easier to find the info one is after.

Also, this summer we are planning on putting out some The X-Dump CD’s. There are two full-length CDs (by Paza and Anode) practically done, and I’m talking to Dorothy’s Magic Bag about putting together a full-length album of his. Lithis and Matophonia would be up next, but it’s not as easy for them to just put together albums like that, it seems. But we will figure something out for sure ;) As for myself, I have the Demon Tea album still to finish, and after that I will probably be doing an album for a Spanish label. ´;Q argh

Candy Mind (http://www.candymind.com/) is dead, as many of you may or may not have heard. I can’t remember if I already told about it on this blog, but it’s a fact. I think the guys (Dorothy’s and Liquid Stranger) did a great job these 3 (?) years and I understand and fully support their decision to kill the netlabel.

Oh well, it’s 6 am now and I better go to sleep :P

Nite nite!
