Lost Month

Hello to everyone who still checks in here from time to time.  I apologize for the lack of updates, but first off, there hasn't been anything to post about as I think we've covered about every release AD and Speech have ever been involved in, and now we are just eagerly awaiting the 20 project.  And secondly, I haven't had much time to make up something either.  With that in mind, I'll be on vacation for a week or so, so I won't have anything up anytime soon.

That said, I did stumble on a very bizarre review of Since the Last Time that I will be covering down the road.  Check out this quote:

Furthermore, on 'Sunshine', he berates himself for getting together with a white female fan – who he "had to admit had a beautiful smile", claiming, "I was feeling like I just betrayed all of my kind". Surely this kind of statement is much more potentially harmful than any Comic Book 'blood n' guts' scenario that 50 Cent might come out with.
So I'll be analyzing this statement down the road.  In the meanwhile, if you've ever wanted to see AD involved in a video game, then I've got the video for you, with the allegedly racist "Sunshine."  Enjoy!

Freedom



I'm not really a flag waving patriot that goes around ringing bells, warning the British that the British are coming, and firing warning shots like Paul Revere (allegedly), but I do still believe in the ultimate ideal of America- that "all men (and women) are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness."  That's what the song 'Freedom" ultimately means to me- a tribute to the ongoing struggle that America can live up to that ideal.  So on the anniversary of America's independence, give that song a listen and get a little history lesson to boot.  This song is from the US version of Strong and is one of the better songs in my opinion.
