Don't worry about me

face_close_iconThanks so much everybody for your kind words about the robbery, really every thing is going to be just fine. Thanks Jezz for alterting us to that fine upstanding human being from Xiola who posted saying that you could get my home address online via my web host, but he's incorrect. I have been building sites for 8 years now and know better than to have your home address online  for a hosting contact. Jesus, I mean, the haters over there might hate this band or my singing or whatever, but I'm not stupid.

Boy, there  are some negative fuckers over there, aren't there?  With stuff I really don't like, I try to ignore it move on, instead of spending all my time complaining. But hey, it's a big world and it takes all types to make it spin. I don't hate the haters over on aintnoright and xiola, not one bit. I can see our similarities, our love for Jane's Addiction's music.

Whoever took my stuff, I pray for them, that life can somehow open up and be a bit more positive so they don't need to do shit like this to keep going. As for the artwork and band work I lost, it's never lost because I created it out of my vison and love for what The Panic Channel is becoming. My true "hard drives" are my heart and my brain, and both of those have Terrabytes of creativity streaming out in the name of making this band great. That cannot be stolen.
A computer is a shiny (albeit expensive) bit of technology that amplifies creativity. I just need a new "amplifier", not the creativity to power it.

With as long as I have been writing songs, doing artwork, and building online, I have lost work that I have put my heart into before. I came up with a code: "if it was lost, and needs to be built from the ground up , then the universe is asking for an even better version,  use this opportunity to create something that superceedes what was lost!"

So stay tuned for The Panic Channel 2.0 - I t will be even better!

You all rock.

no, YOU ROCK!!!! What an awesome philosophy you have, and it comes through in your art, in your devotion to your craft, and in the emotion in your singing.....

You and Larissa are two VERY special people, and to even have positive thoughts and hopes toward the people that invaded your home shows your true spirituality...

God blesses you both!
love,
jezebel(thanks for setting an example)

God Steve you just put a huge smile on my face. It's people like you that makes me think that their is hope and that not all is lost.

Thank you,
Wendy

Inspired...speechless apart from that!

Hi Steve,

I usually don't post here, but I love your art. I know you're an artist as well as a musician. I heard about you & Riss being robbed from reading Dave's board. I'm a regular there.

I just wanted to send my prayers & positive vibes to you & Riss. I was robbed a few years ago, I know how the violation feels. The overwhelming invasion of privacy is what freaked me out the most. An intrusion into my life, was worse than the actual replacable items they had taken.

I met Riss in NYC during Dave's book signing, she was super sweet & treated the fans with an unbelievable kindness. I personally had never meet such a warm, open & friendly person who works in the music biz! In short, she's a pretty awesome lady!

I hope that you have saved some of your files, especially the ones you need for your design work & The PC site design. Then again, as you mentioned, they are filed in your heart & your brain! :)

On the positive side, at least you & Larissa weren't at home and nothing serious happened in relation to this awful situation.

I'm also a graphic designer, so I echo your sentiments about the computer.....the creativity still has to come from within the artist. Any true artist should know that & you certainly do~~!! Keep up the great work Steve!

Love to you & Riss. Can't wait to see The Panic Channel when you guys come to NYC & to see Riss again!

Take care,
itanja

Handsome, great voice, musically and visually creative and.. a spiritual bad ass! Who is Steve Isaacs they ask? That is who he is, bitch!

as they say in the world - keep your chin up

love

Words well spoken Steve...that's why we love ya!!
Rock on buddy...

steve - if you need or want a hand in executing your website.. shoot me a mail - i'll be happy to help out. Even if you just need some disk space to back shit up..

good luck to you..

oh yeah....those morons posting hate crap on xiola can't even spell your name correctly anyways (Issacs)...just a wonderful show of intelligence...go figure...like I told Jezzi...closed minded people who can't stand change must nearly die of panic when they open their front doors each day...that's what those people remind me of. I'm done now...negativity hurts my brain.

go Dave!

Too funny Dave...!

Good to hear it Steve!!

You have to be mentally tough through hard times and I can tell you are! Forget about these fuckers that robbed you they are worthless scum and you have to much talent to be held back by this shit.

Dave,
You rock man!

laters,
Ryan

WOW..gone for two days...and all this!! GREAT attitude, steve! (but I hope someone finds the bastard(s)...) I'm glad that you and Riss are both fine and that the kitties are OK too! Warm thoughts, hugs and energy to Steve and Riss!!!!

I really hope they get whoever did this and get your stuff back. I myself have had my house robbed twice so i know how awful it is. Im sure the new stuff you great will be just as amazing if not better.

Love to you and Riss,

sorry that second great was meant to be a create lol

STEVE, IT DEFINITELY SUCKS BEING ROBBED. ONLY KARMA WILL HAVE IT'S WAY ANYHOW. BUT YOU ARE FORTUNATE THAT YOU AND YOUR LADY ARE SAFE NONETHELESS. THE REASON WHY THEY PROBABLY DIDN'T STEAL YOUR MUSICAL GEAR IS BECAUSE NOW YOU HAVE TO WRITE ABOUT IT IN A POWERFUL WAY! AND YES THEY CAN ROB YOUR MATERIALISTIC GOODS BUT NOT YOUR MIND, TURN THIS AROUND AND COME BACK CREATIVELY STRONGER!
ALL THE BEST.

You Rock Steve!

wow Steve, you are a stong man. if someone broke into my house and took my stuff i would be sooo agro and negative to the world. you are an inspiration, thank you!

being here in south africa where the crime is high, i can relate to your feelings, but i am inspired by how you handle it and your outlook on the situation. thank you!

kyle

excellent code Steve!

The guitar and amp I think are still there because your destiny is to make music. You belong in front of an audience.

How/where did you learn web design?
At this point I'm trying to figure out what to do with the rest of my life and I was thinking of going into that. I'm also currently taking a pharmacy course but I feel I need more of an outlet for my creativity.

Thanks Jezz for alterting us to that fine upstanding human being from Xiola who posted saying that you could get my home address online via my web host, but he's incorrect

Incorrect or not, moth is a cool motherfucker

By the way...

Moth lives in London


So all you amateur sleuths can scratch him off your suspect lists

lol

WOW...another show of the intelligence level of these idiots from xiola...hope they keep it up...the entertainment value is priceless...lol..."cool motherfucker"...now that's funny!!!

Hey... just tuned in and read the news. You totally rock for having such a positive outlook. I flip out when I lose a *post* in the ether. Keep the faith, man - you're an example to us all.

I know this happening has upset us, but can we please stop dissing people from other forums, and message boards in these comments?
Some of the comments on here are going too far, dissing other people; and fueling an unneccessary fight.
I feel totally bad about the robbery; but I think this is getting out of hand, and escalating bad feelings.
I have nothing against the people on other boards/forums, and I don't know them at all. I haven't hung out on those boards at all.

I think it was going too far to suggest any of them would have done this to Steve, especially publicly.

After, that accusation was made, I stopped by there to see the "post' in question, out of curiosity only, and immediately noted the person who posted it was from London.

All I have left to say, is I support Steve, and Riss, hope they will quickly get over this.
Love Lisa xxxx

Wow, wow, i totally agree with Lisa.

Please stop this teenage behaviour bullshit. I know xiola.org and i can tell there are not only "haters" there and its pretty weak to generalize that way.
I don't think there is any need for this kind of behaviour. I thought we are all mature enough to not even waste time with this......

have a good day all,

You know, not that I am paranoid or anything, but I think you guys are talking about me, just not TO me. I expressed my opinion, and have already apologized to the "non-haters" over there, they have accepted it, in fact HOURS ago, how bout you girls let it go as well, ok? I said ONE thing, I owned up that I was out of line, let's all let it go, ok, instead of trying to prove publicly how much more 'mature' you are than I...

truce?
jezebel(wishing she could turn back time)

OMG... it's been a few days since I last checked up on this site and I figured, well let's see how the PanChan is doing, having me down for hearing the entire site is just... gone. I admire your positive thoughts on the burglar. I know I couldn't do that. I personally would've been more hostile and unfriendly. I just hope that the burglar will learn what he/she has obtained and might understand the importance it has for you and the band.

Having passed this difficulty, I wish the band an incredible lot of prosperity. Though hard times may come, I hope all will remain positive and keep the faith.

So with the hard drives stolen, has the Skycycle stuff gone too or is it backed up? That worries me, you know...

Well first let me offer my sympathy to Steve. Robbery sucks, and I'm sorry for anyone who has ever been robbed. I lost my first my Fender that way...

I only learnt of this situation about an hour ago via my forums. So jezebel, you poor darling, you can now stop racking my name through the mud for not making my email address "available", you can also now stop posting shit about xiola.org, it's moderators, and it's users of which you can not possibly be a judge of character having only joined on the 07th to stir some shit about this unfortunate situation. I have a lovely life in London and was not online to help you deal with this "privately". I was busy getting drunk with my friends. Who the hell are you anyway?

Here is my email address: mothmaster@determinedmoth.org

This is my website: www.determinedmoth.org

Again, my sympathy to Steve. I meant no ill, and I look forward to hearing what you and the former Jane's crew create.

You know where to find me.

moth

Hey all....

Well, I must publicly appologize for "fueling" this situation partly. The things that are said at other forums regarding Steve and the future musical creation of FORMER Jane's members seem childish, closed minded and hateful...and I let myself lower my standards to retaliate. Lisa is right...it's not neccessary. For my part I say I'm sorry...

ok, just because determined moth doesn't think I have apologized enough.....
Hi, my name is Jezebel, I am an asshole
I am sorry.....do you want MY home address?

Hey Steve sorry to hear about the loss of your stuff, my condolences. I rebuilt your fla from the original swf files off the panic channel.com for FMX2004 if you think it might help. Email me if you want it.
