Latest news:
So, Charlie Clouser FINALLY got married to Zoey (we're still not 100% sure, lol)! We're very, VERY happy for them :) - there was about time, lol. Now, we're expecting children, Charlie, the many, the better ;).
Musically speaking Charlie finished working for the Death sentence OST (from the same director of Saw, but this time I'm definitely sure the story's scenario will be MUCH better :D see for yourself: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hYlz0rD8vvw).
On another note we have some NEW Jerome pictures:
It's like Jesus!Robin is missing from this one, lol
From Howlin' Maggie - their lead singer was so gay, lol, and the way he was singing was just precious :). Jerome looks somehow ageless here (reminds me of Into the void music video era).
Jerome's thing ;)
Sis had some winter jacket like this back whe she was 3 0r 4 years old. So cute... :D
This one is for Trent, lol, and him underlining Jerome's tendencies of being a whiney bitch ahahahahahahah.

And now that we're here, here's Jerome's latest update:

Subject: LIARS DAY (slight return)...
...in the studio with josh working on a remix and completely different version of track four off of Reminder. i was asked to fuck around with it and change things up a bit for a production company that's interested in licensing it for a movie trailer. it sounds totally different.....the only things kept around from the original version were the tempo and some guitar tones/textures. the drums have been re-recorded and it's much more violent. josh and i have also been working on music for several other projects and licensing companies while finding time in between for the next NEARLY record. it's a positive thing.....as i really needed time to figure out exactly what i want and what the fuck i'm trying to say with it. i just want to be free artistically and otherwise...which leads me to something i'd like to mention...
i have spent way too much time in my life, caring about what others think of me or how i'm perceived. i found out the hard way that this is not only a complete waste of time but also completely counter-productive in terms of centering myself on an artistic level and finding what it is that sets me apart. i've been in a few different situations now where i brought something to the table that was seen as unique and an integral part of the chemistry...even though at the end of the day, those situations were the outlet for one individual's artistic vision. as a result, my departure from those situations was not all that detrimental....however, it's extremely flattering to find out after the fact that musicians that i respect are setting their drumkits up like me, playing parts that i wrote note for note and wearing exactly what i wore onstage. finding your own voice and becoming conscious of who you truly are the most important things in life...everything else is just icing on the cake.
it's irritating to me when i hear someone that i respect and admire say that they are bored with their work and are moving on to something else. in my opinion, you can always push yourself to discover something new about your craft or art and who you are within it....or develop strengths out of your most personal weaknesses. i've played drums on tours for many years and someday i hope to return to it....if the situation is right. but for right now.....i have much more to prove to myself on many other levels. music is only a small part of that.
i'm pushing myself harder now than i ever have. i just turned 38 and it feels good to be at point where i honestly know what's going on and i don't give a fuck what anyone thinks of what i say or do......or who i am. i'm never going to take things too seriously and all i want is to create from a place that's honest and inspired. i wish this freedom of spirit for everyone.
