“Love, Fear and the Time Machine", the band’s sixth studio longplay album will be released via Inside Out Music and Mystic Production on September 4th, 2015, feature cover artwork by longtime design-partner Seempieces | Illustration & Design by Travis Smith (Katatonia, Opeth, etc.) and contain the following track listing: RIVERSIDE – “Love, Fear and the Time Machine” 1. Lost (Why Should I Be Frightened By a Hat?) 2. Under the Pillow 3. ‪#‎Addicted‬ 4. Caterpillar and the Barbed Wire 5. Saturate Me 6. Afloat 7. Discard Your Fear 8. Towards the Blue Horizon 9. Time Travellers 10. Found (The Unexpected Flaw of Searching) RIVERSIDE are additionally working on a musical bonus package entitled “Day Session”, the brighter companion of the “Night Session” presented on the band’s previous album “Shrine Of New Generation Slaves”. RIVERSIDE’s Mariusz Duda checked in with the following comment about “Love, Fear and the Time Machine": “On the new album I wanted to combine the 70s and the 80s. The 80s were a decade of musical growing up for me. We don't sound as retro and 70s as before, we moved forward, we sort of demolished the previous foundations and build new ones. Despite the huge dose of melancholy and nostalgia, there is a new space, the songs are arranged with more flow and at the same time they have never been so concise and to the point before. The lyrics on "Love, Fear and the Time Machine" talk about a transformation. About making an important, perhaps life changing, decision everyone has to make at some point in their lives. What happens to us when we have to make it? On the one hand we're excited by the change, we feel free, liberated, and on the other we fear the unknown, we are afraid of what might happen to us. We go back in time and we go forward in time in our heads. And all that happens when we have to decide something important. The first of the songs on the album is called 'Lost', the last one, 'Found'. If we sometimes get lost in life, it is to go through something and be found again on the other side, to be reborn as someone better and more valuable. I would like this album to be one of those that one day simply becomes your best friend.” Just get in my ears already!

Happy Birthday!

Thanks, Todd.

Happy birthday!

Wow, Chris. That was close. Hope you are feeling better. I had my hernia surgery on the 26th. On the drive to the hospital, I heard the good news from the SCOTUS. About damn time. I am feeling pretty good. Just a bit tight near the incision. And I am definitely enjoying the bullworth-esque sleep.

I have come up empty-handed in my search to find what you are referencing; however, I do find a certain Beta 22 ad and a section of the Stax topic quite entertaining. Now could you kindly point me to the right direction of said ass kicking?

Recording done, master made, can't wait.

Have a good one, all you masochists out there

Oh, God, that brings back memories

Happy Birthday!

Such bastards you people are.

So all in all, a shitty day, eh?

My life has not stopped being a circus since the day they were born, Shelly. But they are all the best things about my life, so it's all worth it. My number one bucket list item is my wife and I taking all of them to Europe for a month over the summer when they are teenagers, rent a van (one of those "holy shit, that's a big family" ones), and go all over the place. Zermatt or bust!

Perhaps I did not share as much about my situation as I thought. We have five children: a set of triplets (7 years old) and a set of identical twins (1 year old). The clothes are only getting bigger, and we physically cannot keep up with laundry as it is. We also dream of having two dishwashers, but since we just got the kitchen done two years ago, we're going to use and abuse the one we have and keep replacing as necessary. Already managed to burn out two LED lights on the control panel. FML

Clog removed. It was out under the driveway area. I don't even want to know what caused it. Let the laundry madness ensue Speaking of which, two washers and two dryers are now a necessity... so going to order this soon: http://speedqueen.com/products/stacked-washer-dryers.aspx#build-your-own?mn=ATGE9AGP113TW01

Thanks for the empathy everyone. In other news, remember me mentioning getting an Amazon delivery from some guy in a red car? http://consumerist.com/2015/06/16/amazon-reportedly-working-on-new-shipping-service-that-turns-ordinary-people-into-couriers/ I KNEW it. Dear Amazon, No. NO. FUCK NO! How did this get past your lawyers? Sincerely, Common Sense

I managed to get all five kids washed in under 5 minutes. But when I was toweling them off, one of the 1 year olds pulled the drain and I did not notice it. Apparently one downstairs shower full of soapy water = 1/4 upstairs tub water + 4" drain pipe capacity between the two. No flooding though. That was close

Main line drain blockage too far for a 35 foot snake to get to. When the washer floods your downstairs shower (and bathroom floor) with it's contents, alerting you of the blockage, cursing ensues. Contractor friend will come back tomorrow with big rooter, take off toilet, and run that sucker to the sea if need be. No flushing, kids get 30 second showers, and backlog of laundry will have to wait. Oh, and I used pretty much all the towels to clean up the flood. Fuck, fuck, and more fuck.

I have been playing Steven Wilson's Hand. Cannot. Erase. nonstop for the last 3 weeks. The album was inspired by the case of Joyce Carol Vincent: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joyce_Vincent I have concluded that this is the best album he has ever been a part of. Almost everything he does has some form of deeper meaning, but this really hits home and comes of as especially sincere. The recent concert only underscores this. I thought I would never say this, but this takes over Opeth's Damnation as the most beautiful album I have ever heard. This is the definition of "so depressing it's gorgeous". So good that I bought the deluxe insane version from ebay. Absolute masterpiece. I cannot praise this album enough.

I have never really been a Foo Fighters fan, but apparently Dave Grohl broke his leg during a concert in Sweden... and kept playing! He must have been out of his mind on pain meds, but he is one tough mofo. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tLWfLeHSZ-8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GeUrSm4_cpk

In the "what would you use this for?" department: https://www.kjmagnetics.com/proddetail.asp?prod=BZX0ZX0Y0-N52 Dimensions: 4" x 4" x 2" thick Tolerances: ±0.004" x ±0.004" x ±0.004" Material: NdFeB, Grade N52 Plating/Coating: Ni-Cu-Ni (Nickel) Magnetization Direction: Thru Thickness Weight: 138.8 oz. (3934 g) Pull Force, Case 1: 1226.5 lbs Pull Force, Case 2: 1226.5 lbs Surface Field: 4933 Gauss Max Operating Temp: 176ºF (80ºC) Brmax: 14,800 Gauss BHmax: 52 MGOe You are looking at the largest, most powerful, most dangerous magnet we carry. At over 1200lbs of pull force, it is likely the strongest magnet available anywhere! These HUGE blocks are no joke. They are extremely powerful and very dangerous, and as such must be handled with extreme caution. They will pinch hard enough to break the skin and could even crush if you get between two of them or one and a piece of metal. Much worse than getting a hand slammed in a car door. They are heavy, sturdy, and unbelievably strong. Once a block this large is attached to a metal surface it will be impossible to remove it. This magnet is not a toy and should only be handled by professionals. We recommend always having at least one other person help you handle this massive block. We use a team of at least three. You must read and understand our Neodymium Magnet Safety Page before ordering these magnets. You must also agree to our Terms and Conditions prior to purchasing. THESE ARE VERY DANGEROUS! Due to the special manner in which this magnet must be shipped and the danger in returning it to us, we will NOT accept returns on this item.

Saw this last night. Fucking. Great. And now you can see it, too. But you only have 24 hours, so get on it! https://screen.yahoo.com/live/event/steven-wilson

As much of a downer as that must have been initially, it really is a blessing in disguise. The inspection is an overview and points out the obvious things (and not so obvious for the average Joe), but there is a lot of the tiny stuff they either do not see or cannot see that can lead to a pain in the ass later. If it is stuff from original construction that fails inspection, the mantra "where there's smoke, there's fire" applies, since it usually is corner cutting or age that gets you. If it is secondary construction, it could be "holy shit" time or something minor and more easily correctable. YMMV, but that's my general rule. Good news! The staples must have been fun. Feel better soon.
