Thank Steve for thinking my idea is cool. As far as I know, this has never been done. I searched and couldn't find any previous incidents of this occuring online. Not only would this be groundbreaking, bringing together this community for eternity, but it'd also be a great promo piece for the release. I hope this can be done, if applicable, for TPC, if there are any chorus parts that do crop up and fit.
As for visiting Savannah, I'd be happy to show you around the place. It's as deluged with haunts as New Orleans is. It's very funky in it's own murkiness. There's really no other place quite like it.
I also hear you on the lack of the spirit thing. For me, it might just be the election hangover, still not quite over it myself, and the thought that we still have Americans dying over there, and for what, I'm not quite sure. Just saw an interview with Michael Ware on CNN, a writer for TIME magazine that just got back from Iraq. The picture he painted is bleak. Guy says that the very thing we tried to prevent from happening is exactly what's going on. Insurgents are growing more and more each day, and the recent destruction of the mess tent is a stark reminder. Kinda hard to be festive when the overall feeling is one of a lack of direction, goal, purpose, or a time table for completion. My two cents.
Anyway, I hope everyone does have at least a relaxing time in the next 3 days or so and a big ass Thank You goes to you for having this site and for letting us into your inner thoughts and actions, not just in relation to TPC, but everyday normal stuff. Happy Holidays, folks!
Peace!

The online choir is such an excellent idea - it would be such a cool thing to be on a Panic Channel song! I hope you can figure out a song for us to do it on.

Sorry that the xmas spirit didnt come this year but i hope the rest of the holiday is great for you, riss and everyone who visits this site.

Love always,

Just got the gift, thanks.

Steve,
Got the same vibe this holiday. Thinking of going Snowboarding on a turn around trip to Mammoth tomorrow but not sure yet. Being around the snow makes it more holidayish for me also.
Thanks for the Present its awesome. Cannot wait for more music to be able to put on the iPod and carry with on Snow trips and such.
Saw some of the Lemony Snicket's sets pre production in person and they were amazing. Looking forward to seeing it also. A good dark movie is good to see made once in a while.
Take care and have a good Holiday.

heLLo!!

AWESOME Video! Probably the best teaser EVER!!! This mixed version sounds great already, and this is a really nice job that your mates have done with the editing!

Thanx a lot again, and have a merry Xmas.

Hey Steve,

It's Sean from 6767. Just wanted to hop over here and tell you personally how absolutely phenomenal Bloody Mary is! Dude, you're an amazing singer, and that track is just killer. The live clips sound amazing as well, but Bloody Mary just absolutely hits the spot man. Really cool.

And try not to be to down about the lack of holiday spirit this year. The good thing about Xmas is that it comes every year. Either way I'm sure you'll enjoy yourself.

Take care,
Sean

Steve!
Merry X-Mas pal. Long time no speak... Spoke to Cano today and we noth talked smack about you. Plus my brother thought he saw you over @ Activision? Hit me up and let's catch up. Sorry to post on your blog - but I fried my phone with your # in it...

AMAZING VIDEO!

We want more this!

Steve and Riss!!

Merry Christmas to you both. I understand the lack of the yule vibe, but, to me, it just seems that I have gotten past the need to feel all Christmasy, just to be let down on the 26th. I like the subdued feel of this holiday, spending quiet time with the people I love, not stressing the shopping and the wrapping and the baking. It sounds like you and Riss are having a wonderful time just chillin' with each other, and that's perfectly ok. All I want to know is...did you see the Christmas lights?

love to you both!!!

Awsome video! It was indeed a great Christmas present. Happy Chrismahanukwanzakah to ya Steve. See you at the next show.

Michael Malediction

thank you for the awesome video Steve!!!! just great!

Steve & Riss, Merry Christmas!!

lots of love

Hey Steve I loved "a series of unfortunate events". I know this sounds a little guetto but my favorite part was actually the credits at the end. I thought they were almost genius. Anyhow, I hope that you and Riss are having a fabulous christmas. It hardly seems like christmas here. It seems a little odd to be wearing flip flops. I don't know how you did it but I couldn't stay away from the computer for more than a day.

I meant ghetto. I miss spell check. :(

Steve...thanks for the video...it is just amazing!

I hope that feeling finds it's way into your heart today...even if just for a moment. Merry Christmas to you and Riss...and thanks again for the very special gift!

Who else can't wait to hear more? That was a total breath of musical fresh-air, and all I can say is awesome!!! Merry Christmas to all, and thanks again for the great gift!

Steve HAPPY CHRISTMAS(its christmas morning here)

The song and the video are great,i'm thinking a few doubters will be converted!!!

Steve L

My first post here...

gotta say a massive thank you to TPC for giving us this amazing video and taster of the album - i cannot wait to get my hands on the finished album! It really is gonna be a huge album of 2005!
have a great Christmas/New Year Steve and the same goes for all the TPC followers!

hey everyone

the online choir sounds like a great idea.

steve, your voice is awesome, it really has inspired me. iv been bragging to my band mates about how iv got a new vocal influence, i cant wait to test out what iv got so far from the inspiration iv gotten from Bloody Mary!

thank you

Not feeling that Christmas spirit? In total doubt of Santa, his reindeer, and his massive delivery of presents to everyone? May I suggest a ride on The Polar Express?
If any movie will get you in the spirit, that one will. (especially at a 3-D Imax)

Steve,

I am grateful that the 4 of you are together. It has been awhile since a rock band struck me in the manner that TPC has. As I told Dave, Right Vehicle, Right Time to put rock music back in place.

Hope the rest of the weekend brings you happiness!

Cheers,

Mike C.

Steve -

Would you be willing to post the lyrics for Bloody Mary?

hi Steve,
been some time...thought I'd come on, have a read, and say a few words to you.
the Bloody Mary song and video~ plain and simple-they rock!!!, some magic edits there as well...big 'ups' to your friends that made it for you'z!
...your voice is wicked good man!!...hearing you sing [this clearly] makes me even more fired up to hear the first TPC 'album'!!.

then I read...
Lyn....yer online vocal idea is awesome!! I hope your idea 'goes off' here,...and i'd love to be a part of it. Sure hope loads of people step up! :)

i posted a similar idea for guitar on daves blog back in mid october and sadly zero bites...,
here's the gist of what i wrote then...so wanna throw it on here Steve,...maybe you'd consider doing something with it...

"...a call and response guitar track exchange/ riff exchange…eg: start a riff,... eg: me send it to ...someone, someone to me...someone to someone...move it around until there’s 3/4/5/6 minutes of it, a kinda chain letter guitar riff/guitar chords global hop..."
peace.

WOW

What an amazing video. The song is fucking incredible. I absolutely cannot wait for the CD. And did Dave mention something about the CD being enhanced with video? *smiles*

I cannot compliment the video and song enough. It's perfect. Keep up the good work, because this is amazing.

Steve,

i came back today and read what you wrote again, and noticed something. you know, this christmas just wasn't a "real" christmas for me either. it was somewhat dysfunctional (my mom's word). we didn't do what we normally do (go to my mom's parents), and we all felt like it just wasn't christmas. i tried to stay in the spirit. my wonderful boyfriend bought me a bad-ass new camera - the canon powershot sd300. so tiny, fits in my pocket. but still, Steve, you were right on. i feel for you, not going to your mom's. sometimes, it just doesn't work when it's not the way it's always been.

Hi Steve,

I'm hoping that you got a bit of yule type vibe by the day itself. I know exactly what you mean about mothers and Christmas, and was very fortunate to be able to spend a couple of days in the family home, which is gift enough itself.

Lemony Snicket - for some reason I bought the calendar without being able to see the film yet, but it's extremely dry...

for example thanks to the entry for Jan 12th, I now know that you should "lick outdoor metal objects at your own peril"

And I found out I share a birthday with HP Lovecraft (although he's actually a bit dead!)

Really looking forward to catching it.

Oh and I just remembered something from walking home last night that I'd like to share: It was so still, and frosty, and the moon was nearly full lighting up the trees in a ghostly blue light and the stars were really bright, and as the road wound ahead of us it really did feel as if we'd stepped into a Tim Burton film. It was magical...

So...the video...

THANKYOU! I loved it, it rocks, the whole sound is just brilliant, and your voice sounds amazing, and the lyrics are so good too (plastic bags for plastic friends). It's all still so very exciting.

Sending out all these good feelings I have in me, to share...

New to the site. Was curious what book it was you gave your gf about the Freemasons? Would love info as I am really into the subject at the moment.

And I've been reading that you are into ghost hunting. I stayed the night in a haunted house in Iowa that you might find interesting reading on the web. Here are a couple of links if you are interested.
