Appreciated!

something about the "cleverness" of this new ad link leaves me fucking apoplectic.

how do we fix — NOW?

You'd probably think I have absolutely nothing to lose from keeping it online, but the opposite is true. Mixomatosis is all but dead to me, and will only return for the occasional live performance outside the UK. The projects I'm working on now for Digital Vomit (Colo(u)rs, 8 Track Remind), the future plans with Bubblegunner and Dead Air Recordings, and of course the ever-expanding Za Ginipiggu, both in developing the live shows as well as establishing a sole-trading business to take the project to schools and colleges, mean so much more to me than Mixomatosis ever did. Keeping that project alive is virtually counter productive, as any effort put into Mixo is pretty much effort wasted these days, thus I want to strip back everything related to it, keeping online presence to the barest minimum (the Facebook group will be deleted and the MySpace will be drastically cut down). As long as the audio's still in the public domain, a clean break's impossible. That's why I'm deleting the album.

I'll be deleting Even Unprofessionaler on the 7th. Photos and video of the destruction of Very Unprofessional has been delayed, but will be made available directly.

MIXOMATOSIS IS DEAD

(but it's an open coffin)

Folks who pre-ordered stuff should be receiving their digital EP today or tomorrow. AFAIK all the discs have been posted out now, so if you've not received it yet then keep a look out soon. I've no idea what's happening with the prizes, so if in doubt speak to Bubblegunner. They're basically in charge of all distribution from here on, so if you've any queries get in contact with them via. www.bubblegunner.com

The tracklisting for both releases is available on dvr666. DVR666 includes three contest remixes by The Abominable Mr Tinkler, Solypsis and Meep, the original version of Love Dictator, and United In Rock. DVR666 includes the winning remix by Mockstar, a remix by The Colonel (of Bangkok Nights/Cup My Balls infame), an unreleased remix of Devils Advocate, a cover by señora ápida and an unreleased Fast Lady demo.

All other information is available on dvr666.

I suppose this will be my last compilation attempt seeing as how I suck at organizing them and putting them together. So anyway, the comp will be out this weekend. Thank you to everyone who contributed and supported the efforts. Rock on.

The MP3, weighing in at 4:39 and around 10mb, will be accompanied by a minisite dedicated to finding out who was responsible for this obscene piece of smooth jazz from 1984. I figure a good way of finding out who's responsible is to release it myself and wait for someone to claim copyright. It's certainly worth a shot.

The release will also contain artwork and instructions on how to make (and distribute) your own CD-R singles, so you can join in on the mystery.

(Some of you may have heard me play this during sound checks at Mixo gigs in the past…)

Rules: the submitted track should be exclusive for this album

Submissions to brianvanderbiest at hotmail dot com
Please mention your artistname, tracktitle as well as contact info in your mail
Tracks should be MP3/320kbps

*title is still pending, ideas are welcome through mail*

anyways, i suggest we eliminate that disclaimer. assuming we don't start piling expletives and pictures of diseased genitalia in our posts, i think we'll be fine. as it stands, the "no swearing" rule makes us look like quakers or something.

just a thought…

Basically, it would be fairly cheap for us to put out CD-rs, either as collaborations or splits to spread the expense. The costs would be pretty low. I know I can get 50 run off in plastic sleeves with a single sided insert for about £60. If you wanted to do the artwork yourselves, or work out some packaging, then the cost would be even lower. I've also got a lightscribe-enabled laptop so I could burn off the CDs myself and print them as well, reducing costs even more. Or failing that, I could always use the old underground stand-by of spray-painting them, although I've heard rumours that the paint can eat into the CD and render them unplayable.

(At this point, I will insert the disclaimer that, although my laptop is lightscribe-enabled, I don't have any software to run it and I don't know how much it will cost, if anything. There is also the small matter of each CD taking about 20 minutes to burn)

So, is there any interest in this or has anybody anything to add?

Thanks to Mattie for hosting this. Hope you all enjoy it.

Although the Lady boys are moving out in a few different directions now with their Bubblegunner Recordings roster/label (not to mention the long-overdue criminal proceedings brought by the Metropolitan Police upon serial murderer Scorpio Scorpio), there's still life yet in the re-retro electro V/Vm Test Records pioneers of the New NEW Wave of British Heavy Metal. Along with a brand new EP to be released on another label in the not too distant future, I'm delighted to announce that after tough negotiations with both enigmatic lead singer Sebastian Falkstaff and band manager, impresario, raconteur and shit Tony Swain, Digital Vomit is set to release a collection of remixes of their 2007 single on V/Vm Test, 'Love Dictator'.

Next week I will be obtaining the much sought-after vocal tracks from the single, and these will be made available for free download for YOU to remix and twist into aural slices of electrock heaven, along with full instructions on where to send them (either to Bubblegunner or, more likely, to me). The finest remixes will be appearing on the compilation, along with a copy of the video you see above this very text, and will be available as a bonus free download to anyone purchasing the original VVMT666 7" single at what I can assure you will be a very reasonable price. (Don't worry if you already have a copy, we'll sort you out too.)

The Second Coming is almost here, and the Lady are ready to bequeath metallic genius unto the rockosphere once again… only this time they want you on board too. Believe the hype.
