It’s Tom again. So the songs on the player were written a long time ago, about this time last year. The Only One was the first song I ever wrote, This Drug Keeps Me High is something I wrote to Bryan’s lyrics, and The Answer is something Trent and I both wrote together with Bryan’s lyrics. I hope you can see beyond the shitty singing and shitty songwriting and take it for what it is: young shitty music (one take with a computer mic!). Jaykay lolz brb pwn n00bs.
Anywho, you can download that here: http://www. mediafire. com/?ytdejjcg9zz
Download it, extract it (right click and it should be something like extract all?), put it in your music player. Have fun with it.
The music we’ve all been up to has greatly slowed down. The more original members (Matt, Tyler, Drew, and Robby) really haven’t been doing anything to my knowledge.
Jordan Arends started a project called THE FORMAL WEATHER PATTERN (such a cool name.... kudos to andrew mcmahon) which never really kicked off. I did a guitar track or two for him and they didn’t really match up since I recorded them separately haha. But he hasn’t really done anything in a while, so that sucks.
Bryan Buechner also went solo with something called RESCUE ME TODAY which he posted a few songs and hasn’t really done anything since. I really dug his stuff too, not gonna lie haha. I don’t know if he’ll ever do something with that again, you should ask him in case I never get around to it.
Johnny LaMotte has had this project called HEARTBEATS ON LOOSELEAF since before he joined The Dividing Line. I know he always writes lyrics and really fucking well. As for music, I’m sure he has something in store. Nothing really posted in a while though, again. (PS I’m sure if you asked him to join your band, he’d fall in love with you.... try it!)
Trent Hagans never really had anything aside from this, but maybe soon? coughcoughrumorscoughcough.
And I (Tom McQuade, represent) just got into a band with some friends called THE ARCHIVES and we’re currently writing for a new record. We’re covering a shitload of songs and then starting on our own songs... I’ve recorded about six demos for a new cd and have seven more to finish writing and record. I occasionally post them on THE ASTRONAUT (more something corporate song titles). Maybe we’ll turn some old songs into new ones, so definitely be on the watch.
I personally miss all the friends we had on here.
So this is for you
This will be the last bulletin I post on here for a long time (maybe ever?! =O) So add us where you can and talk to us there. Bye.
Bio (Johnny Edition):
As the hazel sky shifted over the silent village, dew arose from the grass and legions of clouds drifted across the horizon. Through my skylights, i came accustom to this scene over the years - the site almost a thing of the past brought to my eyes yet again - and in ultimate, only my fluorescent light could confine the darkness to its quarters of the city and the light to its residence in my small attic. Almost as foreign to me as the darkness was the rain - and i knew the chance of its arrival had been aroused in a ploy of the clouds. Now all I had was wait; wait; wait, for their perpetual waltz within the sky, shattered by a momentary fall to earth.
My thoughts sifted through the slate shingles on the roof, so bound to my ceiling. As it stopped to soar afar the sky, I sure think it rekindled something I had lost in the art the stars once had painted. With my window for an easel, they so delicately gave their art, instilling in me an art of my own. I had so lost the art, so lost, so forgotten to never bring forth again.
My mind found the beauty i would not have known if not for the stars. Stars forth hidden to man by cloud, stars forth stolen by me in memory.
With my stars, this soul found resource in the darkness, and the black once fore sought by the outside resounded within my home, within my attic, within my soul. As if with the sky i could illustrate the world, with not a thing too foretold or unspoken for my being to translate. As if i was given a room, my body on the floor, my soul in the ceiling. Both intertwined, both met, and as if reaction was too imminent in nature not to meet the present, a thing was born. A thing was born of this reaction -- in belief, common, in practice, scarce. What thing had been born is the whole point of my being, the whole being of my soul.
It was, after all, music.
And so, the noises and sounds which came from my attic were only products of my environment, offspring of soul.
The sounds were new to me, but fitting for the time i was in. The music was and still to this day is so clear, it mirrored the rain; so lush, it mirrored the sky. Never did i understand, let alone perform my purpose in the world. Yet in that moment, i did -- and fittingly, that moment has yet to end. Just as the stars have ceased to stop shining, still as the music has yet to fade.
I am a band of three young men. I hope you can bring your heart to love, and i pray you may set this love to the world. For as the rain on the night failed to put out the music .. found, No rain, No time, No being can conquer love.
So love, and let love become your music.
For, if all of belief is believing in heaven, then heaven itself is found but in love.
Bio (Bryan Edition):
"I’m on it." i said to Johnny on writing my take on the band. "Are you on it?" he said. "Yeah, im on it" i said. then Johnny said "Hey, are you on it?" and i said....well you get the point.
Why do people start bands? because they want to make music.
Why do they want to make music? because its what got them through the hardest times of their lives and what made the best parts the most memorable.
Or maybe thats just me. thats why i want to do this. Were not big. we have a few hundred friends, 12000 or so plays. We have not played a single show. Not even close to an EP. but i say, so what? This is going to take off i can feel it. (at least i hope and then i can say in rolling stone in 10 years "i told you so" to all the haters). Yeah this is what i want to do. i want to have fun with it. go crazy at shows. be humble. get on myspace and actually respond to messages/comments (ill try i promise). yeah its what i want.
its going to happen.
So the next time something important needs to happen and johnny asks me, ill just tell him...i’m on it.
((that segway was harder than you think people.))
Love, Bryan
PS--when youve got a good friend----its a robert johnson song johnny. asshole.
Bio (Tom Edition):

johnny sucks. not to be mean, but he does. bryans cool though. and i? ...i’ve made love to a spider monkey and am known in four countries as the god of fire. anyways, take a listen.

Thank you guys so much. You have inspired me to do so many great things. Ever since I heard that first song of yours, that made me realize that I have to get off the couch and do something with my life. I traveled across the world and have saved 3 million+ starving african and asian babies. Your music is the reason for all this. Please let the world know about your music and its amazing ability to help starving babies from other countries. Thank you, Your friendly caucasian.
