A month or so ago i wrote up a big blog post about the Snake the cross the crown documentary. The film debuted this weekend at the louisville film festival, and is now up for preorder on the bands merch store. This is the ONLY way you can get it, but i promise you it is 100% worth whatever you spend on it. it comes with the DVD and an entire album of bsides, live tracks and alternate versions. These extra songs are just as amazing as everything on their previous records.
you can check out the extended trailer right here...
If you want information or would like to preorder it, head to these sites...

We got the money but we don't want the problems.
I'm writing this from a rather cramped seat on the mega bus from albany back home to NYC. I was extremely lucky to get out of the city this weekend and upstate to spend time with some great people, and have an overall artistically rejuvinating weekend.
we spent some time in a lake house in the mountains with a communal sleeping room. we had some great conversations about things i rarely think about anymore, but definitely got my mind moving. I got to hear and see some new things that got me realy excited.
one of the highlights of the weekend was getting a chance to see a near finished version of a documentary 2 years in the making about The Snake The Cross The Crown. Admittedly, this is one of my favorite bands, but i think it's a story all too true and common, and you don't need to know this band to have the words and feelings they talk about in this film move you. This is one of the most intimate films about a band and music i have ever seen. I think when this film comes out later this year it has the ability to really move a ton of people and make them think and put things in perspective. unfortunately, it most likely won't, whether that's me being a cynic or a realist i don't know, but that's what the entire film seems to be about. It will probably just be for a lucky few. All i do know is today I've got a fresh pair of eyes and ears in my head thanks to watching it. I truly believe that great art breeds more art. Often when i see or hear something that honestly moves me, it pushes me to want to try and create something incredible that might move someone even the slightest bit as much as the previous did for me. if nothing else it is atleast the catalyst. (After reading that, it seems kind of competitive. I don't think it's supposed to tho). Maybe that is all that matters...
I'm not excited to leave new york, but i'm excited to get this new year underway and see what i'm pushed to.
All we can do is hope for the best.... And stay positive.
