back to it...


Today I sat down and start laying down the demos for the "Beats of Calamitous Intent" EP.

I'm going to be working with Jonh Gray of Fluid Minds on this.. so you know you know it's going sound tight! We're really excited to get this project going.

I'm going to be off to North Carolina next week to spend some time in the sun and get some more lyrics done.

I'll send some pics.. Haa-ha (in the voice of Nelson Muntz)

Et cetra...

For those of you who have been listening to my podcast for the past couple months; here's an official message from MyPodcast.com on the site being down for an extended amount of time:

Dear MyPodcast.com users -

As you are probably aware, we are currently experiencing an extended outage on the site. I wanted to take a minute and update everyone on exactly what the problem is, and how we are trying to remedy the situation.

Last week, we received some new hardware in that was supposed to help the performance of the site. However, during the integration of this new equipment we had a problem with some software destroying a key database that associates podcast episodes with their owners. This also destroyed all episodes' titles and descriptions. The good news is that the audio files of all podcasts are completely intact, but we will now have to re-associate these episodes with their podcasts and rebuild all of the pages from backup data. We are working tirelessly on trying to get all this accomplished in as little time as possible. As soon as I have a more concrete timeframe to pass along to you all I will. I apologize for the downtime and please rest assured that we are hard at work to get things back up as soon as possible. We thank you for your continued patience.

Regards,

Jay Neves
Chief Operating Officer
First Beat Media Inc.

So with that being said, future "The Lonely Grave of Asa Phelps" podcasts will be up soon.

Yesterday we finished the Mother Brain Productions shows and it was a blast. We had live video with multiple cameras and a photographer as well (many thanks to everyone that contributed their time and efforts). I'm looking forward to getting all of these interviews up some time in the near future. And hopefully the blackout at Mypodcast.com won't be much longer.

Keep checking back for more updates and more shows from "The Lonely Grave..."

down and out..

Since Tuesday (03/11/2009) mypodcast.com has been updating their servers. Unfortunately nothing has changed since then so I have been unable to post the latest podcast.

Luckily, we are recording the Mother Brain Productions interviews this weekend and will be posting brand new episodes throughout March and April. So with that being said, this past weeks podcast will be posted this following Tuesday (St. Patrick's day) to help buy me some time to get the MB shows ready... and believe you me, these shows are going to be fantastic and well worth the wait!!

Other than the podcast news, Prew and I have begun work on his EP due out late April. We are revisiting older tracks and adding a brand new feel to them. I think you will be pleasantly surprised with the outcome.

Joe, Mike, Paul the Demon and myself have begun writing new material. You may remember the four of us as "Maurice" however, we have turned a new leaf and plan on embarking on something completely different from what you may know. Stay tuned for the goods!!

"When It's All Said and Done" is still in the works. I want this album to reflect more of me than "By The Time I Get Back" did. Not to say it was a bad album, but I just feel as if I haven't really put my best foot forward.

Regardless, all tunes will be worth the wait and this year is the year we take this shit to the next level.

Until then,
Much love and respect
Asa Phelps

randy vs. walter

speedy update time!! Yeah!

First off - THE LONELY GRAVE OF ASA PHELPS PODCAST is now weekly. Catch me, JB and a cast of thousands (well, 2 or 3 more people at least) every Tuesday night. Tomorrow the third episode will be up around 6pm. If you have the time, feel free to take the below ad and send it to friend or post in on a blog or mybook or facepage or wherever you may dwell on the internet.









I've posted a new demo on the old MySpace page. I recorded late last week and it titled "Nice Guy". Give it a listen when you got the chance. Trying to get some tracks done before the summer is upon us.

Prew has begun work on his first full length album. We've recorded one track and have begun weeding out the beats that will or will not appear on the album. We're also working on a short EP of some classic Prew tracks that will be out some time in the very near future. More info on that very, very soon...

Also, the remixes I've been working on for Notebook Noise will be released soon. Check out the Notebook Noise page as well as the Mother Brain Productions page.
