There have been a lot of rock band comebacks lately like for example Soundgarden and Black Sabbath… now you can add Faith No More to the rock band comeback list.

The Faith No More bassist, Bill Gould, revealed to Rolling Stone that Faith No More has begun work on a new album. Yes, the band are back together with Mike Patton once again being the frontman. This will be the band’s first album since 1997’s “Album of the Year”.

This is one band comeback that is actually pretty damn exciting! I used to listen to this band a lot back in my high school years. I used to listen to “The Real Thing” album pretty obsessively. I’m also a huge fan of Mr. Bungle, Mike Patton’s other band too.

Mike Patton is a very talented singer and I’m glad he’s back to kick some ass! \m/

WordPress made some changes with their blogging site today. They created a new design when you make a “new post”. They now changed it to “Automattic, Inc.”. 

It seems to be making posts fine but when you try to post links and hit, “post”, the post mysteriously disappears. 

Plus, they made it longer to load. 

I liked it the way it was before. Thumbs down on this one wordpress. I know it’s a new design for “new post” so they still got a lot to fix.

Hopefully this isn’t just me and everyone else with a wordpress blog is getting the same thing. Probably.

Some of you may ask, did Robin film any new movies before he died? Yes, you betcha he did! He already filmed 4 movies before he took his own life. 

See what those films are here:

Seriously, I try to support musicians and the music scene the best as I possibly can but it’s hard to do when some musicians don’t wanna show the same respect in return. It’s just that when they discover my blog or my youtube channel or whatever… that’s when they decide to go off hating on me or bullying me. These musicians become obsessed with it. Using my name “publicly” to criticize me or make fun of me or whatever. There’s a lot of musicians who get into it and they won’t quit what they do. These things seem to be happening a lot. It still happens so I’m used to it. Many of them make fun of me ’cause they find it fun. They get a laugh out of it. That’s the only reason some of these guys do these things. I look at them as bored as hell people looking for entertainment. That’s all they do it for.

If that’s all these guys wanna do is talk about me in a negative direction or make fun of me or whatever instead of worrying about their music and their own professionalism, that’s all fine by me. Instead of concentrating on their music, they’ve got to obsess with talking about me all the time. Believe me, I’ve seen it. In social networking, other blogs, forums, etc. Don’t deny it. Don’t lie about it. What they’re doing is their prerogative.

I don’t see why musicians find me so fascinating. I’m just a normal guy on the internet just blogging and playing my music. That’s all I’m pretty much am. I am not a celebrity or an internet legend like some people mistakenly call me.

If that’s all these guys wanna do is talk about me, that’s good. It’s how I’m gonna be remembered and be known for. A musician and a blogger. They’re just helping to market me and promote me. Giving me even more attention when they are not even realizing it. Bad publicity can sometimes be good, ya know??? Some of you may ask them, “if they don’t like you, why do they continue to read your stuff?”. I ask myself that question everyday but… you know they’re never gonna ignore me even if they don’t like me. They will always follow my blogs and everything I do even if they don’t like my music either… they’ll still follow me.

That’s called obsession.

I don’t really do what I do for musicians. I blog and play music for everyone, pretty much. I also do it for me too.

I do my very best to attract people who actually do “like” me but instead I seem to be attracting a lot of people who don’t like me. That’s okay and cool with me. I can’t please every person on this planet even though I try.

It’s sad that musicians have to act this way since they are adults and all but all it shows that these guys can be real immature people. They’re like a child built into an adult body. They get into it ’cause they’re egomaniacs. I can’t think of no other reason. They’re gonna try to think they’re better than you and they’re gonna try to make you jealous and feel bad ’cause they believe they have more success than you.

I will always get musicians disliking me but that’s okay.

A lot of them don’t like me ’cause of my criticism toward local music which is understandable. I always thought it was important for me to do is to be realistic about local music. I was always realistic about the scene. That’s why these guys get off on disliking me ’cause the truth bothered them. Many musicians think it’s wrong to be realistic about local music but it’s not. It’s actually a pretty professional thing to be real about the scene so I believe I’m doing the right thing. Calling out all the bullshit that goes on through the scene and giving my honest thoughts and opinions on it.

It’s good to be a local music scene critic. I never found anything wrong with it. As long as you leave names out of things, it should be okay. I would love to bash bands and venues using their name publicly but it’s not a good idea. I try to leave names out of it ’cause I know it’ll backfire on me if I used their name publicly. It’s funny how people around this area think they can publicly use my name whenever they want to, though.

Just be yourself and fuck the haters. Haters are gonna hate.

A lot of bands and artists out there have different ways of selecting songs for albums when they are done recording them. They all don’t do it the same way. Some bands & artists will write and record a bunch of songs in the studio and then they will select the best tracks to release. Some don’t even do that and do things differently. I don’t think I will write a bunch of songs for this internet album and select the best ones. Even though I may not be all that crazy about the song, I’ll release it anyway. What you’re gonna hear for my album is what you get. I won’t do throw aways or unreleased tracks like a lot of bands & artists seem to do these days. It’s just me. I do this as a way to see what kind of feedback the songs are gonna get. I can never really tell how great or how bad my music is so I let the people do the judging!

If you’re the type of music artist who loves your own music and expects everyone else to like it, then you’re doing it wrong, in my opinion. Every song that gets down I’ll put it out there.

Also, a lot of unsigned bands & artists seem to be choosing their own “singles” or “hit songs” and I’ve always found that kind of silly, in my opinion. As an unsigned artist, I never believed in “singles” or “hit songs”. I’ve always looked at music as art. I never cared to write radio-friendly songs. If some of them happen to be “radio-friendly” then sometimes I can never notice how “radio-friendly” my songs can be. I always let the people choose what songs they like and what songs they consider are “hits”. I won’t release “singles” or “official videos”. This is not the major label industry.

I just like putting the whole album out there. I love people listening to them and giving feedback on them whether it’s good or bad. While I don’t do throw away songs; however, there is one exception. I’ll do a throw away if I write a bunch of songs for a 90 minute CD and the songs go over the time limit then I’ll have to throw one away so the songs can fit on a CD, that’s pretty much it.

I just recorded guitar and vocals for song #7 today.

I got more writing to do ’cause I have a ton of ideas spinning in my head. I only write when inspiration hits. People like to plan ahead of how they write their songs. They’re like, I want this song to sound this way and that way. Not me. I just let the songs come out of me naturally. Hear something in my head and I’ll try to get it on the guitar as best as possible.

Can’t wait to get this album out!
