This, I Promise

Kari has been hard at work on some things(right click to open new link). I do not want to overshadow this or draw attention away (as if I could..), and to be honest, behind the scenes of one particular arm of my operations is in need of drastic overhaul.

Some unexpected occurrences have reared their heads, and I am retreating until the 1st. But everything is in place for a stellar year. I hate due dates, not because I can't keep them, but because often what I wish to accomplish changes in nature. It's not a volatile state I can't control; you've seen us making inroads to supplying you with entertainment from ourselves and others end to end.

That said, I owe you a big one. I obsess over details. I feel more than "know."

With closure of Through a lxxy Darkly, I aimed to up the ante into maximum awesome range. No content, even borrowed, is left untouched. But enough of the hype machine.

Just know I'm sorry and hate having to make these choices, but my Funkometer ran afoul after a significantly distressing occurrence on the 24th. No one is hurt, all is well. But I'm only assuming this, in light of past experience. I just haven't had confirmation.

And while jarred I may be, I don't quit. Adapting, however, can take some time.





Understand...
Understand...
That...
I will keep you safe from every scar that bleeds...
I will keep you free from all that's hurting me...
This I promise...
This I promise...
This I promise...
This I promise...

I promise!
I promise!

One more time...
This I swear!
Trust in me...
My faith is sincere!

Love is stronger...
When the end is near!
Then there will be...
Nothing more to fear!

I promise!
I promise!

Trust in these...
Love, life, hands!
You need me...
To help you stand!

I can release you...
From your pain, dear!
Then there will be...
nothing more to fear!

I promise this...
I promise this...
I promise this...
I promise...

I promise this...
I promise this...
I promise this...
I promise...

Love is stronger...
When the end is near!
I can release you...
From your pain, dear!

Understand...
Understand...

I promise!
I promise!
I promise!

I promise this!
I promise!

I promise this!
I promise!

More Poetry

Also, not to deluge y'all with awesome links, but Mentalist acer has an interesting dialogue to share with you in "I, Me, Mine, No Reason, No Rhyme."

This guy hops socks, so if you're in the mood for lovely lines, take a gander.

Twas December 23rd...

Happy Holidays!

A friend of mine, Ann Raven, made a neat little clip for the holidays. Check it out!

You can, of course, check her out here at Raven's Art Shack.

And lets not forget CrisA! He has an awesome poetry blog, from both himself and others.

Here at alien central, I'm weary as the countdown inches closer to the unveiling of "Reaching the Expanse."

Among other things.

Through a lxxy Darkly will be wrapping up shortly. And I'll be taking a breather from it as I concentrate on finishing the EP, and the first round of the newbie's video guides discussing capsules. Priorities. 2011 will be a fun year. Keep your eyes on US.

Change 'o Plans

Hey guys!

There's going to be a 2 day extravaganza.

I've also have come up with a work-around that severely diminishes scores to some of my content; it requires replacing content with a different format. IE. lyrics to songs that are on 13+billion websites and counting.

But the HP Guide, the new track--and another Through a lxxy Darkly--will be coming your way the 24th and 26th.

Possibly something else before then, but it's in a state of flux.

Until our next intersection in space-time,

Duke Nukem Forever is shipping.

Happy Holidays!

Hello all!

Tis I, lxxy.

We've been hard at work on several projects: HP Vid Newb Guide, Corrode EP, Through a lxxy Darkly (and all its media foolery), not to mention laying a foundation for DTTA as to better prop up Universal Salon financially.

So it's really just me....and Kari. And all of you. I am committed to showing people how to Hub, because I think it's an easy system to get your feet wet.

I don't even abuse all the power of Blogger here--admittedly more free--because even with the knowledge, I like KISS. I'd be writing this in eMacs if I really wanted to be super-efficient, but the beauty of Blogger is that I'm not having to host.

Anyway, derailment aside, here's some news:

Volume 2 of the HP Vid Guide will debut 12/11/09.
The track "Away//Forward" is going through some creative incubation. I've decided to create two mixes--one to emphasize the "dark" and the other to emphasize "light." You can guess which of the two will be (full-onish) melodic.

Now, because this is basically two different mixes, the second track will not be charged for in the commercial release. I don't milk content, at least not from a money sign point of view...I just think this poem is one of my more beloved across the board, and I'm enthusiastic to share different dimensions of my sound to fill in those gaps.

I've never been anything but "experimental," and my sound has varied throughout the years--admittedly though, it's always retained a harder edge because once something has "metal" in it, it's hard to get away from the stigma without becoming Sugar Ray.

At any rate, this isn't pandering for a larger demographic. It's discovering ways to mix up different aspects in a public setting.

With the release of the next "Through a lxxy Darkly," you'll have yourself an audio present from alienUplink. Since "Away//Forward" is taking so long.

Expect it by x-mas.

Well...I'm off to pull this stuff further into the present.

Until our next intersection in space-time,

Namaste!
