From nick (superh.org era). In this letter: news from add bands, a letter from andy (ARB), cd reviews / band news.
Still practicing for the fall retreat. John has a new song with words headed toward “leave me whole.” Nick working on some side songs he might put on the site later.
Thanks for signing up. Nick asked him to help with the list. Bandless after the move; jamming with two guys, shopping names (he kept coming back to “the herdsmen”) — email ideas to fifreak@juno.com. Mentions Creation (big version of Ichthus) in June. Living Sacrifice’s The Hammering Process due Nov 7 (10th anniversary). Recommends Juliana Theory Emotion is Dead and Embodyment The Narrow Scope of Things.
Nick working on new songs for the retreat; hoping for video/music on the site. Demo names floating: five months, soon you and i try (tied to only one), others without words yet.
“Leave me whole is rockin” — come hear it with gefc at the retreat.
In NC (“the hood”). POD Brown reissue next Tuesday. Still starting a new band — fundraisers/carwashes for gear; only one other local band near High Point; need 1–2 more people and a name.
Solid State / show notes (NxNW Portland Sep 23; Back to School Jam 4 in Framingham).
Nick: “Hey again this month — sorry but I didn’t get a chance…” (opener cuts off there).
Listed in the TOC, but the dump only has a dotted placeholder — no actual scott text was saved in that file.
9/27: HM magazine interviewed A Perfect Circle about God — andy’s take on secular bands that call themselves religious. 10/3: heading to Kentucky / Georgetown around the 20th for three days; album reviews → “refer to last week’s issue.”
Same deal — TOC item, but only dots in the dump (no copied article).
Apple dropping ads / suing rumor sites; AltaVista cutting 25% of workforce; Dow Chemical firing people for email misuse; olympics.com accessibility lawsuit (Bruce Maguire).
Mandy working on lyrics for nick (“all I can write is anger right now”) — “I need those lyrics NOW MANDY!”
