I don't think the last tour ever actually came off(you know, the one that I was planning to drop everything to attend), but post-breakup Further Seems Forever have one last project in the pipe: a CD/DVD called The Final Curtain, coming out November 14th on 567 Records(who?). The DVD portion is the entirety of the band's final performance, and the two producers are well-known to Christian-rock geeks: Bruce Fitzhugh(Living Sacrifice and Mike Lewis(Puller), who are both still active in the biz - in fact, Fitzhugh's Zambooie merch/apparel line is co-releasing this bad boy. Want a teaser? Check out an acoustic clip of 'For All We Know'. [IVM]

Two former members of Denison Marrs, a criminally-underrated Florida band who broke up last year, have a new gig called The Dark Romantics(listen here). They're on Lujo Records, and there's also talk that DM's World Renown For Romance may be re-issued by Lujo as well. That'd be sweet.

There's an Astro Boy movie coming in 2009! Line up for tickets now!!

Uprising Festival and Purevolume have teamed up for this free downloadable sampler. Music from Relient K, Copeland, Thrice frontman Dustin Kensrue and more. I'd go listen if I was in your shoes.

Underoath drummer Aaron Gillespie's side gig The Almost are setting up a record and tour in 2007. Innnteresting. The one song I heard a long time ago sounded just like Chasing Safety-era Underoath.

Tiger Woods lost this afternoon the first round of the World Match Play Championships. This means that come the weekend, he won't be playing. That's unreal.
