Anyone? Comments? Can I add it to our database, along with the lyrics for In Time?

EDIT:Damn. It appears Ananzi is down. I don't relish the thought of going through the +60 pages looking for our songs again. If anyone has them saved or printed, could you email them to me? My address is in my profile, or it's Traitor @ dc email . com, sans spaces. If no one has them saved or anything, don't go looking for them, I'll do that.

From where I'm sitting, it looks like I'm one of the few (if not the only) people still hanging around? Any progress? Anything at all to report? Any comments on the song, whether I should put it and In Time in our database?

Adrian

i'm still here. i started on the art a while back, but after finishing a few i felt like it wasn't my best effort and it didn't fit DC. so once i get around to tweaking it a bit i'll post it.

Glad you're still around. I know Tawtami's still out there working on transferring the taped stuff to computer (an update would be awesome :wink: ), but it seems even manager Allmike has gone on extended hiatus.

To anyone who's reading this, does anyone have any ideas for a next song? I'm thinking another themed song again, to go along with our Dry County themed songs. Then again, Walrus said a few pages back that he had a song he wanted to work on with us, so if that's the case, I'm more than happy to do that. If not, any suggestions?

I now concur with Arash's previously stated opinion. Anything we record at this point should be released immediately without waiting to compile it into an album. If we ever get all the songs finished/released, then we can put an album together. (That doesn't mean we don't need artwork now :D )

Adrian

alright here's a bunch of stuff that i was just basically experimenting with. the last one is the one Adrian requested- DC ..next right. :) (and believe me man, it ain't easy making a sign to a place that doesn't exist. :P )

Cool! I really like the "Next Right" pic...it looks like it's being viewed through a rain-washed windshield. The airport pic is like that too, but there's the contrast with the bright colors there. I don't know why, but it reminds me of a movie I saw a few years ago, The Mothman Prophecies. I think there was some camera work in there kinda like in the airport pic. The speed limit sign has to go on any album or song artwork we release. I'm not a huge fan of the green in it, but it adds some contrast. Other than that, it's perfect. I'm a little undecided on the road closed sign....DC is supposed to be a rather dry, deserty place, and that one looks like it's set going into a woods. Same with the narrow bridge pic, but that one looks like it's way out in the country...I don't know, but it kinda fits the desert theme to me. Good job on all of them!

This is kinda um, embarassing, since I'm the one who set it up, but it appears I've lost the password to the band acount at Gmail. Hopefully someone still has the password....if so, could you please PM it to me. Thanks much.

Walrus:If you'r reading this, what would you think about contributing "The Secret Project" to DC? I'm not even sure if you're still interested, or what, so could you let me know, either here or with a PM? Thanks.

Adrian

GOOD! :D it wasn't an easy process, let me tell ya! i swear, that graphic was one of the most difficult ones i've made.

awesome. i thought it reminded me of the same thing actually! but i couldn't think of which movie.

i really love how that one turned out, but i was wondering how you'd take to the green. i don't think that's something i can change as a lot of it was all put together by chance (as is most artwork, but this one can't be adjusted)

i didn't think the road closed one fit DC, and although i like the bridge one i wasn't sure it was right for the band. but with everything i make i figure it's best to post it anyway since i put the work into it.

but thank you, i'm glad you like them! :D we seem to be on the same page when it comes to art so it makes things a lot easier.

Well, I posted WMU in the band acount. Again, if anyone has the password for the GMAIL acount, PM me or email me through the link in my profile.

I'm also thinking, hesitantly, about finding some sort of free bulletin board for the band. Yeah, the two acounts were supposed to take care of that, but I can't honestly see the band staying together when/if DC goes down (which I've heard might happen in December if Peter doesn't take donations (which he's not at the moment)) and without a common, easily accessible meeting place, I think there'd be a low chance of DC surviving. Is anyone besides me and Wild (and occasionally Walrus) working on this anymore? Even Allmike has commented for nearly a month.... I know I've said this before, I just feel like we're close to either finishing something, OR reaching the end and disbanding. Anybody?

We need one more song for the album I think (I think we were shooting for 10 songs total) and I've got one I'm tenatively calling "Lost" bouncing around my head right now, so if no one has any suggestions or songs they'd like to work on, I'll start on that.

Wild:Glad we're on the same page for artwork, like you said.

Adrian

EDIT:Would the members of the band please send an email to the main band acount "Traitor @ ananzi . co . za" sans spaces and quotes. That way if anything unforseen happens, band members can be contacted. Or, if no one minds, I can collect the bandmember's emails, and email them to the acount myself.

We all here Adrian, just that without recording starting, there is nothing anyone could do. Let face it, without recording anysongs, we are not going anywhere and i don't know what happen to Tawtami, did u try to PM her and findout whats happening. And Where did u hear JT IS CLOSING???. Even the pay it forward forum which was stalled coz of uncertnty of JT is about to start again, i don;t see any topic saying or his comment saying it gonna close down. I really hope not, anyway if in that case also we can do our blog, so don't worry about it. No one is not intrested coz there is nothing happening(that is recording). But once something start, everyone will come back don;t worry about that.

And i lost all my PMs so i don;t have Gmail's account name or password and also the ananzi's. If u have pls send me too.

Re:JT closing I had heard that it would be closing in September. In August (I think it was August) I PM'd Peter and asked if there was a place I could send donations, or if there was, if I could start a donation thread, seeing as JT would be closing down without some extra money. He wrote back saying that things had ironed themselves out, and the deadline had been extended to December. I haven't heard anything about JT closing beyond that.

Re:Blog I'll try and find a small, free message board somewhere. That'd be best. I can't see a blog working well for the band.
