News today via Twitter that Josh Freese has pulled the plug in his participation in A Perfect Circle: After 13 years, I’ve decided to leave @aperfectcircle with no plans of returning.

cultiv8420 sent me a email this morning with a video featuring Danny playing drums for British reggae band Steel Pulse at their recent show at the Canyon Club in LA. Not the greatest of recordings, but it’s interesting to see Danny drumming outside of his usual genre:
Maynard’s first column for Up On The Sun has been published over night, and it’s about end times and winemaking: My copy of the Mayan Calendar appears to have expired, so it is currently of no use to me. I got on the Bunker bat phone to Tim White at Arizona Stronghold and Todd Bostock at Dos Cabezas Wineworks to see if they were witnessing a similar trend.
