Achtung! Dustin emailed me today reminding me of the upcoming German 10,000 Days listening parties on the 27th of April. He translates:

Attention Tool fans: A day to find the album offered on the 27 of April in selected clubs – Get it F!rst Events! In six German cities the songs from the new album will be presented publicly for the first time. Furthermore there will be a unique Tool Concert raffle. Two lucky winners (will get to go to Rock Am Ring) [note-not exactly sure about that sentence] The Get it First Release parties are in Berlin (Sage Club), Bochum (Planet), Stuttgart (Club Prag), Aachen (Nightlife), München (Keller) and Frankfurt (O 25).

Not sure how the raffle will work, but if I get some more information I’ll let you all know!

I’ve got 3 more signed vinyls to post on the site as well. Didn’t get time on the weekend, but hopefully I’ll get them up soon!

Auf Wiedersehen!

There’s also some stuff there written in German. My German ain’t too good, but I think it doesn’t really say anything we don’t already know. Any German readers out there, feel free to post the translation as a comment.

As I’m sure you’ve noticed, I’ve updated the Stylesheet on Fourtheye to be a little whiter and brighter. Some readers have said that they still see the posts with a black background that makes the site very hard to read. I think this is some sort of caching issue, so I’d suggest to all of you, refresh your cache. If you continue to have problems, let me know and I’ll look into it further.

Update! Turns out IE didn’t like my CSS changes (which is kinda my fault, CSS wasn’t valid). Problem has now been rectified. If you were using Firefox you’d have never noticed…..

I’m currently playing around with the Fourtheye CSS, so expect some “weirdness” in the next few hours. The site should remain readable though.

Just pretend you’re at Camilla’s Birthday Party……

Here’s a random quote I’ve inserted just to help with testing:

Think for yourself. Question Authority.

Paul from Toolarmy has alerted us to this new 10,000 Days ad in UK’s Metal Hammer magazine.

Blair. (bl-air) v. : 1. To say and do things that appear mysterious, but are of little consequence. ie. “Little Susan was so excited about her pet rock that she blaired all evening.” 2. To be tricked or fooled by Blair. ie. “You just got Blair’d!”

Thanks to Karf on Toolnavy for that one, and apologies to Blair, we really do love you!

I haven’t read it yet, but enjoy

orange.juice on Toolnavy posted today that he found this image on a German promoters(?) website:

Stating the bleeding obvious, it’s pretty much just an extended version of the existing 10,000 Days cover. No confirmation though whether this is official or when it’s just a fan-made rendering based on Alex Grey’s artpiece.
He also noted that one of the German shows has changed to a bigger venue. If you’re a German Tool fan, make sure you check you show hasn’t changed.

There’s also been some talk of a French show being changed as well. Looks like the Lyon show has been cancelled and moved to Grenoble. Check this website for details.

I’ve been doing a bit of surfing on the net lately, mainly hitting sites such as YouTube and Google Videos, and found some stuff, including a Tool video you guys might find interesting.

There’s a pretty huge range of stuff available, and lucky for us Tool fans, plenty of their bootlegs. You can get to the page by clicking on the link to the right, or just clicking here.

If you have any suggestions for other stuff, Tool or any other bands you think Fourth Eye readers may be interested in, feel free to email me a link, and I’ll stick it on the page.

ccornell from Toolarmy, took some time of from recording Audioslave’s new CD today, to tell us that he heard on the radio that Tool will be playing in Phoenix, Arizona sometime in May.  Details are a bit sketchy on date and location, so don’t go booking your flights just yet.

Looks like you Americans will be getting a few shows before the lads head off to Europe….

Got an email from CubanPete from Toolnavy just a few moment ago, and he says JB Hi-Fi here in Australia now have 10,000 Days available on pre-order from the low, low price of $21.52.  Also lists the release date as the 28th of April.  Feel free to check their website out at http://www.jbhifionline.com.au/

I couldn’t find any sign of 10,000 Days in the online shop section there, but I’m sure it’ll just be a matter of time until it appears.
