Turns out Triple J has started playing tracks off 10,000 Days on the radio. Apparently Jambi was played this morning, and then The Pot was played later on this afternoon. Those wanting to avoid hearing songs until buying the CD may want to tune out….. Thanks to Elle for that tip!
Daniel tells me that Hot Topic, an American store are giving away free Tool stickers (in the current 10,000 Days style) as well as having a couple of new T-Shirts for sale. Merchandise addicts start your engines!
The Betterfly on Toolarmy posted an interview with Maynard on TA boards this morning. Here’s some highlights: A huge thanks to Joe Barresi who spent lots of time and effort working on (especially) guitar sounds. I think “10,000 Days” is overall more “raw” sounding than “Lateralus” or “Aenima” and you have to go back all the way to “Undertow” to find similar soundscapes. “Lipan Conjuring” is Danny’s little song which… Read More »Finnish Maynard Interview
Archival update: Sadly the website that contained these images is not closed. I don’t have a copy of them, but if anyone does, then let me know and I’ll host them on Fourtheye. hellboy – 14-Jul-2015 Mr. Beadle emailed me this morning with this long email outlining the Stereoscopic Ark hoax that he perpetrated in the leadup of the release of Tool‘s 10000 Days. OK, seeing as the real thing… Read More »10000 Days Stereoscopic Ark Hoax

We hope to be able to post a definite answer… Read More »10,000 Days Shortage Update
Looks like all of the US Shows (feel free to correct me if I’m wrong) have sold out, many in a matter of seconds. This was more or less expected, which explains the general dismay with the lack of Pre-Sales. Those who missed out, I guess you’ll have to resort to scouring ebay, or as some have done, think about selling your souls…..
Orange on Toolnavy posted this interview with Danny and Maynard done by Visions Magazine. A good read, more about the working of the band and the story behind the recording than about 10,000 Days itself.
Toolshed.it have recently posted this alleged picture of the packaging. It’s all starting to fall into place….. Murdoch tells me that Skinnys Record Store in Brisbane are having a midnight 10,000 Days sale: TOOL “10,000 DAYS” The countdown is on  for one of the most anticipated albums of 2006.

The Tool Hotline has been posting some pictures of the 10000 Days packaging. It looks like it will include some special glasses to view the stereoscopic images. Here’s a pic to whet your appetite. And just for the record, I think any of you out there who believe 10000 Days is some sort of hoax are insane. There I said it. I think it’s a great recording, those who don’t… Read More »10000 Days Package, Insanity
