“I’ve just completed mixing songs with drums from the 2nd set! Now all that remains is to mix 4 more solo songs from the earlier part of the 2nd set and we’re done. I expect to have this completed before I leave for tour with “3” next week. Then we will be finalizing credits and preparing to manufacture. Hopefully this means we will be shipping by the end of November! Thanks to all of you for your patience! - Joey”
Shit YES this is gonna be the best solo dvd i done ever got :3
Saturday’s dvd shoot was a great success! Thanks to all who made it such a special night. It was a real marathon, as we ended up with 4 hours of material to cull through, virtually enough for 2 dvds! We’re now going to review the performances and decide which songs will make the cut. We had 5 hd cameras going, one of which was attached to the headstock of my main guitar. Such a cool angle! -Joey

basically perfect music for this weather
The news that Andy Jackson had left Terrible Things shocked many, and PropertyOfZack was lucky enough to be able to talk to Josh Eppard from the band yesterday to clear some things up. Josh and I discussed the events that lead up to Jackson’s departure, what side was in charge of making the decision, how they will continue on with him, and more. Please read up on it to get a better sense of the situation, however unfortunate it may be.
Last night Andy Jackson announced to the world that he was no longer a member of Terrible Things. When did Andy inform you and Fred of his decision?
Well, it was me that informed him that he would no longer be in the band. There are a lot of things when you’re in a band, and he lives pretty far away. I don’t really care how people take it. Andy didn’t quit the band; it just kind of happened. I know that that seems like a very kind of convenient thing to say, but he was really far away. We toured as much as we possibly could. We toured pretty non-stop. There was a good seven month block there where we were only home for collectively two or three weeks. It just got to the point where we didn’t know how it was going to work when people lived so far from each other. I don’t know how much I’m permitted to say. Terrible Things is a band. I don’t want to say the wrong things. When you have a record label that is helping to cover those costs things are a lot easier. Terrible Things has been met with a lot of adversity lately in the way that we don’t know if we’re going to be with Universal anymore. Well, I know we’re not going to be. We’re basically dropped from Universal. We’re going to continue on. I just called Andy and had a heart to heart and we just kind of both figured that it didn’t make sense. He’s got other things going on. I realize there are a lot of vague things in there. I don’t want to say anything to upset anybody. Andy didn’t quit the band, and in the same sense he wasn’t fired. It just really had to stop, if that makes any sense.
Joey has begun raising funds to make this DVD recording possible! There’s a video up on the kickstarter page of Joey performing two songs and explaining what he’s collecting the money for.

Weerd Science & lil’ Mazeman
MC Lars + Weerd Science - “How to Be an Indie Rapper”
The first Weerd Science & MC Lars collaboration!!! It features Gangstroph The Baptist (intro) as well as John Glenn and Erik Flora from The City Never Sleeps (chorus). The song was mixed by Chris Bittner aka CJB, and was produced by Dave “Wavis” Parker (also of TCNS - he composed the music too).
Hey all, we’re putting together a video for a Kickstarter page to help generate funds for my solo dvd shoot on May 21st. We’re putting out a call to friends and fans to submit their own webcam short videos describing why its a good idea… hit me up on facebook… thanks! -Joey
Hey All,
The mixes are finished, song order established… Still working on the artwork and such but at this point we are looking at a September release… We’re really psyched with the record! Album title came down to “React” or “The Ghost you Gave to Me“… after a little research we’re going with the latter. As THE most difficult band to search out on the internet we decided that we’re better off with an Album title that will actually come up in the search engines!
