To clear things up, when the Metalist management contacted us about doing this festival we were VERY excited to be able to see Israel cause it is a country that we never had visited before, so when the oppurtunity came we jumped on it in a second.

I will now spill out ALL the facts concerning this trip:

New A Perfect Circle Song And Video

From the official A Perfect Circle website:

November 2nd, coinciding with the presidential election, APC will be releasing a collection of songs about War, Peace, Love and Greed, entitled "eMOTIVe." Featuring new material and songs like "Imagine" by John Lennon, "What's Goin On" by Marvin Gaye, "Let's Have a War" by Fear. This week we will release one of these new songs entitled, "Counting Bodies like Sheep to the Rhythm of the War Drums," with an animated video poking fun at our fearless leader. Hopefully, you'll find it as entertaining as we do.

REMEMBER... EVERY SINGLE VOTE COUNTS

Don't let yourself be tricked into thinking it does not. It is important for us all to engage this political system and to be conscious of who is being chosen to speak for us. If you choose not to be involved with decisions that affect your life on a daily basis, in our opinion, you forfeit your right to complain about it later. Think for yourself. Question authority. Hopefully you will choose to vote on November 2nd.

Peace,
Maynard.

Anthrax - Wins Kerrang! award; Scott checks in

Here's from the official ANTHRAX site, Anthrax.com:

"August 26, 2004: Comrades,
We won at the Kerrang awards! They gave us the award for "Spirit Of Rock" which is given to a band that has changed the face of music and has been a major influence on others. It was really cool. The event itself is huge. I had no idea it was so big. They had a killer video presentation showing clips of our whole career, from Madhouse to What Doesn't Die with a voiceover giving our history. Rob and I had no clue that we were getting this. It was kept secret from us the whole time. I thought we were nominated in a category with other bands so when they announced this award and said this years winners etc.etc. I realized they had picked us for the award. Rob and I went up and I gave a very excited and brief thank you speech and then we were whisked off to the press room for all kinds of TV and radio. It was really cool to be recognized by a magazine that I've been reading since before ANTHRAX. I'll have a more in-depth report in the new AM I will write on the plane home tomorrow!
Cheers,
Scott"
