They killed the czar and facebook terrorism is on the rise…

Just an observation:
Remember the days when you would look forward to getting a call from friends or people you knew? Or how about the days when your best friend would go away on vacation and send you a postcard? “Ohhh, look how nice the grand canyon looks in the picture! And look, you can almost see Jimmy standing on the rocks! Gee whiz, I’m gonna hang this on my refrigerator door”. Or better yet, how about the late night phone calls from girlfriends telling you they wanna break up or that they had sex with your drummer? Obviously a big difference in the content of the “information” you were receiving but none the less, it was human; a face, a voice, a handwritten extension of that person’s self.
Well, not anymore. Welcome to the world of facebook/twitter! And allow me to introduce you to the terrorists that lurk on your page. Wives that get angry at their husbands and post their business for all the world to see; guys that get busy with girls and then proceed to post it on their friends facebooks thinking that the girls won’t see; in the meantime, ruining their reputations, all while making themselves look like classless bone-heads(sorry ladies), And what’s with the FARM bullshit? I have never thought i’d see so many “Farm- loving” people in 2010(especially when most of the “Farmers” probably have never stepped foot on an actual farm, unless you consider that strange place in the suburbs where all the tooth-less gather to buy produce and silly little straw witches a farm! or even better, The “FML” or “This day is shitty” comments; as if we are all supposed to say “OHH no! Carol is having a crappy day, let me call her!” I find myself not answering my phone anymore until i check on the caller’s facebook/twitter status, like a weather forecast! Tornado, Hurricane?! I think i’ll just stay away for a while… Airing one’s dirty laundry or complaining about self-centered nonsense on a public forum sounds about as appealing to me as going on a biafran diet!(look it up!) Good times right?! I think not! But allow me to tell you what does sound like a good time: The next SWEET CYANIDE show in your area!!! Interested?? of course you are! For your consideration:

Sweet Cyanide fratured on 2001 MANIACS: FIELD OF SCREAMS

Sweet Cyanide has been hand picked by writer/director Tim Sullivan to appear on the film score and soundtrack album of the hotly anticipated 2001 MANIACS sequel entitled FIELD OF SCREAMS!

Answering a call for music Sullivan posted on the internet, the band sent Sullivan their self titled album. Upon hearing “S.L.M. (Suicide Love Machine)”, Sullivan knew he had to include it in his film.

Channelling the classic 80’s retro metal sound, Sullivan says the song “is the perfect tune to accompany the film’s ‘pool orgy’ montage where flesh meshes and guitars crunch in a hot slice of grindhouse exploitation at its best!”

2001 MANIACS: FIELD OF SCREAMS premieres February 26th in Glasgow, Scotland,
followed by a UK run before its US premiere in April.
A soundtrack album from BSX Records featuring “S.L.M. (Suicide Love Machine)” will follow.
Stay tuned!

I woke up today with a keyboard imprint on my FUCKING forehead

Last night I refined all the artwork for the new release of Sweet Cyanide II. I designed a stage banner for the live shows that is going to look sick when it’s 10ft by fuckin 10ft! There are two merch booth banners as well. Designing those types of things are always gratifying, especially with the imagery revolving around this record. The three shirt designs are a tribute to the good old 80’s parking lot shirts we all know and love. There are also three other general SC designs. Postcards, buttons, you name it. There will be plenty of swag for everyone, from your puking little baby to your drooling sweet nana. We are not leaving anyone out. Everything is so fuckin epic. From the songs to the art to the live show I think we are going to give people back what they have missing. Remember going to shows at MSG or Nassau Coliseum and standing on line for a t-shirt? That brain overload of what to buy? Did you have enough money for a shirt and a poster or just a poster and a tour book? That was the stress that we love! Well, we are bringing back everything we loved about music and the experience and we are doing it on our own terms. No label. No rats dressed in suits looking to cash in on our livelihood. This is direct, people. From us to you with love.

 

When can you peep all of this shit? Well, we are finishing up post production on the record next week and once we have a release date, I’ll post some of the designs and new wallpaper.

 

Good talk.
