Let us resolve. What are your plans for 2009?
Little Tommy Daniels
"I resolve not to punch walls, kick cars, stab kitchen cabinets, throw wine glasses or write nasty letters to people. I will also use the 2 minute rule and be aware of my surroundings."
Bem
"I would like to replace all of my missing buttons AND create my very own victory garden."
Nathaniel F.H. Burgundy IV
"I shall release my guilt, eradicate my fears & conquer my gas. Just kidding, I have no fears."
Gene R. Corduroy
"More coffee, and more cookies from Pinwheel. Less chemicals in the bathroom. More drawings. More naked drawings. Less computing. More movies/films. Less reruns. More walking the willows. Less bird-is-the-word. More gestures. More jest."
Everything's fine in 2009.
Hallo there!
How are you, lil' baby? Did you have a fantastic holiday? A sublime New Year?
Us? Oh, we're doing fine, thanks! We continue on into 2009 with the completion of our full-length debut, We Wish You Well On Your Way To Hell. Details are being sewn together; a couple pieces that have broken off have been hot-glued back on. I might have to let out the waist a little bit, I'm afraid I may have put on a small bit of weight over the holidays. In general: cleaning, editing, mixing, drawing. Polish!
Oh yes & we are putting together a live show spectacular. These are the first practices we've done together in years, mind you! YEARS! It truly is like riding a bike, though. What a difference having a Little Tommy Daniels makes, my dear. As soon as those drums kick in: goodnight nurse! Oh, LTD, make the dream real.
[Speaking of which, has anyone heard the Morrissey tune 'Glamorous Glue' used in the ads for the new Tim Roth Fox Series 'Lie To Me'?]
Concurrently, Gene has been helming a voyage into the uncharted seas of video-making. Our plans: one video per song. Ten videos! Oh, we've got the concepts. Gene's ensuring we have the know-how. I'll see you all on YouTube.
Okay, okay. I'll let you all get back to work - but before going I shall leave with a couple gifts:
The Axolotl salamander:
Powder 2: Powder 2 The People:
Let The Right One In:
New Year's Eve dinner:
[Oxtail dumplings, duck, shrimp salad, oysters, bacon-n-blue cheese prunes, assorted veggies, lots of wine, champagne & so on]
See you soon!

Computer Perfection Needs A Bassist!
We're looking for a bassist to round our musical troupe out! The band currently consists of four former members of PAS/CAL & is signed to the Le Grand Magistery label for whom we have just completed a full-length record. We are now looking to begin practicing & performing our songs in a live setting in the Detroit area.
Our ideal candidate:
1. Has a plucky bass style in the vein of McCartney, Broadcast, Serge Gainsbourg, et al.
2. {UPDATE} has been found. Thank you for the responses.

Computer Perfection LP1:
Title: We Wish You Well On Your Way To Hell
Mixing: Dave Allison
Artwork: Andy Ohioboy, Computer Perfection & Friends
Slowly, surely, Computer Perfection pushes forward into the future. Phase 1 is now complete & we are hacking our way into the thick of Phase 2. Dave Allison of Rustbelt Studios is hard at work making sense of our musical scribbles. Andy Taray will be doing the same of our non-musical scribbles for the packaging. A beautiful storm is brewing, indeed.
Here are some FALL FUN photos from the last month.
Gene & Penny trick-or-treat.
Cake costume in progress.
Bem puts the finishing touches on cake.
Cake costume is ready!
Hidden Ghost Balloon Ship [feat. Trevor Naud & LTD] at the Magic Stick's Zombie Dance Party.
The Halloween scene. Scary!
Edgar has a snack.
Penny entertains Stephanie, Meema & Nathan on Halloween night.
A couple quick notes:
Yes, the cake costume was handmade by the boundlessly talented Bem!
I saw a UFO soaring above Ferndale on Halloween night!
November 4th: Computer Perfection heaves a collective & dramatic sigh of relief.
We'll talk soon!

Penny & The Jets.
Gene, Penny & I traveled to Dexter, home to The Cookie Momster, queen of the pastry world. Lamentably, the cookie shop is no more so we decided to make ourselves useful & lay down the piano bits for the full length. Not quite as tasty, but sweet just the same.
The lovely Otto, Jan assisted us by tuning & prepping the ivories with the expertise of a technician in her field for over two decades.
Good stuff, right? We hope so.
G'night,
N. Burgundy
Letters From The Postwar Effort.
Friends assembled to lend their honey-sweet vocal cords to a small but crucial turn on 'O Your Blue Blood' as well as some thunderous handclaps to 'Sans Soleil'. Above, Trevor Naud [of Zoos of Berlin & The Soccer Moms], Monica Breen, Chris Gideon & Lynette Lynette.
Acts of Creation & Destruction.
As the time of reckoning draws nigh & the calendar crawls ever closer to the fiery year called 2012 anno domini the pressure escalates. There is sweat on my brow even now as I type this. It is so quiet at night lately. A dog yelps in the distance at some anonymous disapproved interloper & the echo hangs heavy in the air like a dulling wine.
Anyway, above are some photos from a vocal session with the lovely lady with but one name, Bem.
Here We Grow Again.
We are ever closer to LP1! This will be the first volume in a duo of of concept records detailing the rise of a rock band consisting of aliens from across the universe who have come to Earth to spread Truth & eradicate Falsehood, Lies & Illusions through HOT JAMZ.
A tentative tracklist has been devised:
Domestic Amusements
How I Won The War / O Your Blue Blood
Able Archer
Silence Is A Shadow's Dream
The Strange Echo
La Strada
Sweetie Pie
Maurice On The Water
Sans Soleil
Planck's Lullaby
Let There Be More Light,
Burgundy

Domestic Amusements
Another twinkle in LTD’s eye entered the trail of the lonesome pine, passed through an ivy-covered trellis, proceeding (unlooked for though not unwelcome) in through the back door. Down the steps past overturned hat boxes, ancient cartons of merchandise sharing shelf space with the food pantry, and over an oft-used treadmill having trouble folding upright in its old age. Thus sprung the new song ‘Domestic Amusements’, a minute and a half of blissful future memories.
When the well runs dry and the plants are picked clean ~ every little creature has taken a picture, leaving a footprint a footstep stamped across your back
I'm an alien come up from the sea hovering covering shiny collections of idling engines, so gentlemen start your dreams.
I fell into you one midsummer's night as flowers in fossils bloomed at night; my bedroom light was dark and golden-eyed. Beyond time and sleep in a silver web, acts of creation and of destruction cross your heart as I hope to try.
