Just to keep us on our toes, Blair has also released the Tool January 2006 Newsletter, which with the help of a Ouija Board, answers some further questions on the new Tool CD. My Ouija skills are a bit rusty, but it looks as though the CD won’t be released anytime before the 4th of April. It also looks like the next release of the next Signed Lateralus Vinyl batch… Read More »Tool January 2006 Newsletter
Millermt posted recently on ToolNavy and alleged email that he recieved from Blair: Hello, As I’ve been saying, the record is still being MIXED. The band is nearly finished with this (one epic song to go), but then there is MASTERING, let alone having the CDs pressed. It’s a spring release, although you will most likely get to hear a single prior to that. I’m not sure what you mean… Read More »Letter from Blair?
The November newsletter is finally up on Toolband, and it’s a two parter. The first half is found here, while the second half is found on the Butcher website.

mobius maximus on Toolarmy pointed this article out to us today: http://www.billboard.com/bbcom/news/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1001844587 Basically, it covers the Melvins latest happenings, some details on Mike Pattons Peeping Tom project, and my favorite bit, the fact that Jello Biafra and the Melvins will be touring Australia. Holy shit yes!
Well it’s a slow news day so what the hell. An anonymous writer on Wikipedia has written on the Adam Jones talk page that: The new album is set to release circa March 2006, info from Adam Jone’s nephew who, awesomely enough, goes to my school at LHS. Think of this what you will. I think they’re full of shit personally.

The lastest on is about them playing the Roskilde Festival. While there’s plenty of you out there who’d rather see Tool playing their own shows, it’ll still be nice to catch up with the guys, and I’m sure they’ll come back for a more extensive and intimate tour later… Read More »European Festivals, Adams Birthday
Blair has written on Toolband/Army that there will be a Spring 2006 Tool release, though it won’t be March. Apparently they’re still working on the final mixing, segues, etc. For those mathematically inclined Blair has left a clue as to how much longer the mixing process has left until completion. Feel free to post your results below…
According Toolshed TV2 in Norway announced that Tool will be playing the QUART festival which is help from the 4th to the 8th of July. The festival website doesn’t seem to have any info confirming or denying this rumour, but hopefully for all of you Norwegian fans out there it’s true.
