would you all kindly take a poll for me?  
so as many of you know t7 is working on 2 albums right now. we have THAT MUCH material just sitting around.
each album so far has a length that i consider to be a good length for an album. albums that are too short feel like a rip off to me. but albums that are too long can loose one's attention.
at the very least i think that when an album is really long the individual songs tend to not get the attnetion they deserve.
 
the problem here is that i've started writing more stuff again, after a very very long dry spell.
and some of the stuff is DAMN GOOD. and we kind of want to insert it into these sessions.
my personal quandry is that while the albums are a good length now i'm afraid they are on the long end of a good length and i don't want to tip the scales. so this leads to the obvious question.... do we ditch other songs that we feel are good in order to make room for these new ones? do we put them off for album 4? do we delete them altogether? put them out online for free?
 
these are not questions that i'm asking any of you, just things we need to consider.
what i do want to know from you however, is what your attnetion span is when listening to a record.
obviously the results of this poll won't determine anything, but knowing what folks in "the scene" and folks in general think might help me with my opinion when aproaching the questions above with the band.

THIS JOURNAL IS NOW FRIENDS ONLY  
this is the journal of Reverend Glenn Grubbs.
i'm currently a member of Tesseract7.
i pretty much am Image And Nation.

if you found this journal because you were looking for one of those just go the the links above.

i have in the past been a member of The Fiery Hellhounds, Blodhelm, The Necronomicommies, The Deficates, Voight-Kamff, and Spuck.

if you're here for some random reason that i don't know about, i'm sorry. my journal is now friends only. the only public posts i shall be making from now on are going to be announcements regarding Tesseract7 and Image And Nation. those posts will be removed after a certain perod of time. though i may leave things like videos up.

if you would like to be my friend please go ahead and add me, but also leave a comment here as to who you are and why you want to be my friend.
i will let you know one way or the ohter. most likely i'll just be your friend. i'm social and all that stuff.

i don't know why i want this to be friends only now. mostly i guess because i no longer want to share my personal life with everyone.... just those who give a crap. i also hate it whan people leave me anon comments. good or bad it's obnoxious.

so, thanks for stopping by stranger!
if you are a stranger.......

OOOOOooooOOOOooooOOOO..... IT'S A MYSTERY!

image and nation video  
well, i finally have some footage from the show... and the rehearsal to show you.

VIEW FROM AN I
recorded at the rehearsal the day before.


the camera at the show was broken. but the rehearsal footage was better. however, because most people weren't in costume and it was a rehearsal which meant starts and stops, and we were missing a singer, there was only this one song that really looked similar to how it looked at the show.

ENGELLAR TEMS CELLA
recorded at the show 02-02-08


this was probably the best video from the night (ugh). fortunately it's also my favorite song from the night. it's still strange to hear 3 different singers on this song instead of 1 overdubbed a bunch of times. but i love how it came out. i also love my big close up as i'm fading the bass out. camera man, you rule!

THE WASTED LANDS
projection video from the show



this was the projection video for the song. no usable footage of this song from the show exists. but that's ok because the projection was the bulk of the visuals for this song. i spent months edditing together all the video i used in the show and almost none of it came out usable in the video of the show.
the thing that pissed me off about the camera man was that this show was designed as a whole, and he never treated it as such. most of the time he focused on me and the singers, ignoring the dancers and all the videos. the only time i really see the dancers in the video from the night is when me and the singers aren't out there.
that and the fact that the camera was broken so it took me months to extract a vhs quality image out of the thing.

so, this is pretty much all the best i could do as far as footage of the show goes. it doesn't do it justice, but for those that weren't there this may give you an idea of what we did.
