Greetings humans!
The new album is actually going to be released, contrary to popular thought that I have been just imagining this record and pretending to be an artist… (I’d hereby like to send a “fuck you!” to all the cynics.)
And the winning numbers are – 29.04.10 -
As presented at the best-looking myspace page ever created – www.myspace.com/riseofthenewscum
No. I’m not going to give you a release date. Although it’s very close and it will be announced in a few days… instead I’m just going to think out loud a little. As some of you know, I’ve been working on this record for four years. Four fucking years. Four years of getting people excited and then disappointing them. Of making friends who turn to enemies. Of playing with dozens of musicians under the Evestus banner. Of founding The New Scum. Of sending out singles and promos. Of sleepless nights wondering what do I have to do next, what am I doing at all.. for whom and why? “I’m making music for myself!” – yeah, right. Any artist saying that while releasing albums is a fucking liar! Can you imagine working on one thing only for four years and then suddenly you just have to give it away? I know some of you can. Some of you can’t. And it doesn’t really matter. I think that maybe this will be my last album. I’m not saying that I’ll quit music! Fuck that. I’m just saying that in today’s world, the concept of “album” has gone lost… “This Is Dramacore” is an effort to bring back the greatness that an ALBUM once had. To remind people that an ALBUM used to be more than two hit-singles wrapped in a bunch of demos and different versions of the same song. For me – Pink Floyd’s “The Wall” was an album. Manson’s “Antichrist Superstar” was an album. NiN’s “Fragile” and AHC’s “The War of Art”… Ohgr’s “Welt”… These were “ALBUMS”. And they still are classics to me. And that is what I wanted to create with “TID”. And for what… so people would download single tracks of the album from iTunes?
I think I’ll go on to releasing only EP-s for the next few years. Keep it simple for this brain-dead world. Keep it short, small and accessible. Or perhaps I should just release tweets? I bet the world would LOVE that! Everyone could spare enough attention span for a tweet and I would be so popular and famous! How about I fast-forward the pop-music culture and start releasing 1 minute tracks that consist of only a chorus made of three sexy notes using a vocoder and I will be titled the “best singer of the century”! And I’ll buy myself a pair of pants so tight I’ll have to wear them under my skin! And I’ll marry a dolphin and we’ll see how gay Jeffree Star looks then! Oh my god! I will be such a pop icon! Known to all as the Glitter-princess Star-bulous (add “trademark” to the end!)!
Yes! That is exactly what I will do! And if you’re not gay, you better become one, because my new fan club “The faboulistas” will stone you otherwise!
What the fuck am I talking about?
