June has come quickly this year, and with it comes the next Tool newsletter. Get your decoder rings and/or Taco Bell discount vouchers out!
Blair fields a few questions I’m sure some of you will find interesting, including an update of sorts on the status of the Tool website:
Q: “Hey Blair, how are you? As you mentioned you keep getting mostly ‘when the f**k is the new album going to be done?!’ kinda’ questions, I thought i’d ask what we might expect from the ‘updating’ of the site? Will we see more Occult & Esoteric themes in the artwork & layout? All in all how’s it coming along? Waiting,.. patiently…”
A: Although I am very reluctant to comment on any progress being made on upgrading or, better yet, developing a brand new website, I am FINALLY fairly confident that the band has found the right person (and artists) for the job. I can’t say exactly when my – I mean the new TOOL site will be launched, but hopefully it will be in the next few months. Again, hopefully…
Great news!
^ Definitely interested in seeing what comes of it. I have a feeling it may be a total wipe of TA, but I hope that’s not the case. It would be a shame to lose all that history. Of course, he doesn’t specifically mention TA, so it may just be Toolband.com that’s getting the revamp.
“Not to be insensitive or a show-off, in case you didn’t know, “Opiate” is also available in a more modern CD (compact disc) format, and with these you don’t have to worry about double-cut groves, etc. I’m just putting it out there…”
Hahahaha awesome. Another great read, and I’m happy to see the door is wide open on release dates!
Good to see Blair having fun and a dig at the Blairarmy people.
I enjoyed it.
as did i. Bell Rock is one of my favorite places to hike around here, thought it was funny he mentioned it. despite him “retracting” his statement, i’m still going to stick with May 2012.
fuck now we gotta wait 2 months for the next one….
hahahahaha nice….you’re probably right
theres a doobie in zemkls jr’s picture 🙂
hahahaha yeah i definitely caught that
leaves room to basque in some fine aroma
Hey TOOLOGY719!!! Those rock formations look very familiar, LOL!!! That place rocks!! What did you call them again? Vorticies??
yessir, good buddy. Bell Rock is a vortex, but “vortices” is the plural.
next time i’ll give you PROPER tour of Sedona instead of just cruising through. we’ll munch some fungus and hit the trail!
mmmmm fungus
niiiice

If we’re gonna compare with olden times then we might as well say Lateralus was a double album, as it comes on two records…
