I kinda spoiled the surprise lastnight - it didn't become official til this morning though. So, let's just get right into it before i spoil it early like a....well, we'll not even go there, k? Cause i haven't slept all freakin night long - my brain...and my fingers...are ready to say just about anything that pops in my brain first! lol. We'll leave the innuendo up to you!
It is my honour, and a privilage to announce that Metropolis Records has jumped on this podcast ship of mine - and, will be providing the darker feel to the show every week! With great acts like KMFDM, The Birthday Massacre, Eisbrecher and Roxy Epoxy & The Rebound - this show is bound to Poppin' now! And, to finally be able to broadcast these to you guys - the fans! That just takes the icing on the cake!
Do ya need further proof on why Toxic TuneZ is #1 now?
Metropolis Records is a Philadelphia, Pennsylvania based record label, distributor, and mail-order store specializing in the post-industrial field such as electro-industrial, synthpop, futurepop, darkwave, and gothic musical genres.
Metropolis started business as a retail record store under the name of "Digital Underground." The first few records released under the Metropolis label were actually European imports that were repackaged and released specifically for the US market, with Love Is Colder Than Death's Teignmouth being the label's first official release (MET001). Metropolis began signing acts as a record label in 1995, with groups such as Mentallo and the Fixer, Numb, and Front Line Assembly. It has arranged for its bands to tour together such as Numb and Front Line Assembly together in 1996, and Project Pitchfork and Front 242 in 1998. It also established extensive distribution channels to a variety of commercial channels, providing access to major commercial markets for typically niche-interest groups. By the late 1990s it had become the dominant specialty record label in North America for electro-industrial. Several groups once signed on Wax Trax! Records later released on Metropolis, including Front Line Assembly, Front 242, KMFDM, Doubting Thomas, PIG, Noise Unit and VNV Nation.
In 1999, Metropolis Records purchased a few other electro-industrial and goth focused music labels, including Pendragon Records and 21st Circuitry.
Record labels distributed through Metropolis include A Different Drum, Alfa Matrix, Cleopatra, Nilaihah, KMFDM, Projekt, Sigsaly Transmissions, Strange Ways, DSBP, Vampture, and WTII.

*cough cough*
Everyone knows what this bird represents. Kind of like if i added the facebook or MySpace logo for that matter. I hate to admit it - but, i'm seriously contemplating entering the world of Tweeting. This comes for many reasons.
First off....it would eliminate the posts of what's new on the blog...sort of. It would basically eliminate the pointless entries where one might say "Why the HELL did ya just write an entry about that?" 140 characters does the job, and does it...sort of well.
Not to worry guys - the tweets would just be short updates. About...what i'm doing for the podcast on a particular day - as well as tweets about new adds. The longer news entries, playlist entries and random stuff will still stay. Basically - if it makes sense to do a post, it'll be here.
I'm still contemplating it though - and, would appreciate some feedback...cause, i still have no idea how i'm gonna use it if i do use it oO
ALSO - on that note....i'm thinking of doing the same thing over at facebook....mind ya, i do have a group over there. But, my thinking is to eliminate that, and enter the "Brave new world" of Pages. So, instead....people can become FANS. Does my logic make sense at....6:20am? lol.
I have all these thoughts running through my head - it feels like a damn 8 lane highway in there - with the horns and semi's goin' off!
OHHHHH YEAAAAAHHHHH! (Here's proof how fast my thought process is right now on the Dr. Pepper lol) *Insert blatent advertisement here*
Toxic TuneZ is gonna be featured on the local news station sometime prob'ly next week. Dunno all the details yet. But...yea, it took me by surprise. Got an email from this guy, Mike last Thursday, and i got it Sunday (No thanks to Shaw, of course.) But, he wants to do a feature on me and the podcast! And....like i'm really gonna be an ass who turns that down! So, hopefully with that....the local fan base here in Medicine Hat will increase. And, not only that, but draw some attention to the local bands and artists here who wanna get some focus on them! And...for them...the door is always open....I don't care what kind of genre they are! I say that from my heart - because, though parts of this city....lack...to say the least....the one thing that's been constant is the music scene.
It's because of the local scene as well that i love almost all genres of music. Hell - i used to go to the Jazz fest in Medicine Hat before i went and got....Anti-social....lmao. I swear, the Podcast and various other things....don't give me much time. Even though it started 2 years ago, it still seems like i'm trying to get it off the ground again.
Maybe that's because of all the changes i do with the music lol. But, hopefully the changes are done and made - and, yeaaaaa.
Lastly - before i forget. Yesterday....Well....Monday...whatever. It's not Wednesday til i wake up! Anyways, yesterday, i contacted one of the labels that represents the likes of The Birthday Massacre - Metropolis Records. If they say Yes (Which i'm hoping for) - to help me out with giving me more artists to play....I'll "Secure" so-to-speak....a bit of the Dark/Goth/Metal scene. I've been checking out a few of their artists...and, i LOVE the sound of what's goin' on there. So....let's hope and...do something....that they say yes :)
Anyways - that's it for me for tonight! I will let ya guys know about the situation with Metropolis....hopefully tomorrow!
FINE!
Later TODAY!
Better?
lol
