Syadiloh Yppah
and so we say to 2006 what we said to his father and to his father's father. thank you for carrying us to this appointed place. you have held us and you have led us where we may go and now you must leave. we bid you farewell and look forward to reading and hearing about you in people magazine and on VH1.
2006 was good to canon blue. it began with only an idea and now it has ended with an idea completed and new ones coming to fruition. colonies is gradually being leaked into the world, escaping from a hole in the wall of my bedroom. the workshop is alive again as the canon blue players begin to assess how to take the sounds out of your headphones and into your hearts. and work has begun on special new recordings of which more shall be revealed in the coming months. thank you to everyone who has stopped by to listen and innocently allowed me to gather a huge database together of addresses and personal information to be used at my discretion.
in other, less pretentiously written news, a potential video is in the works for the next hit single to be released from colonies. right now thats looking to be either pilguin pop or rum diary, but we'll have to wait and see which one tests better down at the clear channel lab.
to those of you who have requested a copy of colonies, rest assured that your letters have not been lost and that if all goes to plan you shall find a specially addressed package to you before the 25th of december.
as always the running catalogue of the canon blue playlist is housed in the blog entitled 'ear candy'. expect the canon blue end of the year "top 10 albums and video list" in the next week or so. canon blue is a taste maker and to that i say open thy mouth and receive the goodness from the spoon.
humbly yours,
dan
ps. the record is still available for free.....

New Album Costs $0.00
it is finished.
5 years in the making, the debut record of Canon Blue, entitled "colonies" will be in absolutely no stores anywhere starting today. however, fear not! the album can still be aquired should one take the initiative to follow the secret instructions in the following information.
for a limited time (which really means "as long as i'm not sick and tired of making all these ridiculous things by hand"), the album will be given away for free. i know i know...crazy right?....well it probably is, but for whatever reason right now putting music in your hands seems more important than money. so before i realize that karl marx was wrong, feel free to send me an address in exchange for a record.....also, should any of you be so inclined, a paypal account has been set up where donations to cover shipping or to cover my rent can be carefully and lovingly placed.
the albums are all one-of-kind creations by canon blue, featuring exquisite stitching, state of the art color luminosity, and an efficiency of design modern man has rarely seen heretofor.
carrier pigeons await to make deliveries anywhere in the world..........and by anywhere i mean anywhere.

Colonies
and on the 7th day canon blue rested. the new record, entitled 'colonies', is now officially mixed and mastered. arriving at just under 45 min., the 11 tracks span the experience of death, love, rebirth, and pill popping penguins. the artwork is in the final stages as well and should hopefully be completed within the next week or so.
the album will be free for anyone who cares to ask. a paypal account will be set up however in case anyone is feeling generous, though nothing will be held against those who don't have anything to give. besides, i probably couldn't affored to buy your record, book, fashion, jewelry either, so all is fair in love and capitalism. perhaps a few rubles for shipping though......
to those that live, may they also love. ....

Assemblage
having returned from an extended stay for the holidays in the belly of history surrounded by two rivers i have returned to arrange the last and final details for the completion of the first canon blue album.
recording is finally finished (mixing/mastering still remain) and the album is, at least for now, entitled "COLONIA". a brief visit to wikipedia.com will reveal tens of random details and facts pertaining to the word, neither of which i am intending. so i have decided to retain my own interpretation and if anyone is every in need of even more information to jam into their already overexpanded and headaching brain they need only ask and i will reveal it.
"ka'lo'nia"........."ka"......not the other way.......(i can already tell i'm going to have to change this).....
in related news, the assemblage session compilation (2) is finally out after much anticipation. among such underground luminaries as 'adventure time' and 'caural' there is, hidden in the shadows, "canon blue's" 'rum diary'. this can be viewed, experienced, bought, or whatever other way one engages music, at:
http://www.myspace.com/assemblage
but things have not been all canon blue these past few months. there is tell of strange noises and sounds coming from the forest of a mechanical nature. odd creatures are said to have been seen lurking in the darkness leaving behind curiously painted and designed objects. it is not fully understood who or what are disturbing the townsfolk or what their purpose is, but deep down, the townsfolk know that it is only a matter of time before they must confront their fear of the dark...........
expect new canon blue music, photos, information in the coming weeks as the release date swoops down like a soaring, wing-ed eagle capturing its terrified prey in the grips of its claws that clamp down with the weight of centuries, leaving nothing but the faintest of breath to all who witness it........or something like that.......

Hey, what's that behind you?
um.............err.................i've been working hard I swear ......................um..................yea.....................its like april now......................and all I have is a few..........um................(gulp)...................demos.................
welcome to april 8, 2006. not exactly february, but then again, no one has probably read any of these blogs since then. and probably no one will read this one either, so for all intensive purposes this is my shallow half-hearted attempt at myspace redemption. who knew an online website for 'music, friends and dating' could extend itself to such a high calling?......................stop being so cynical dan...................
in the immortal words of michel gondry on the dvd of his director's label debut, 'I chose quantity over quality, because quality fades.' I'm sure that that zen and motorcycle maintanence guy might have something say about that, but perhaps gondry's approach is the only approach you can have with *dare i say it* art. or at least with your own perspective on your own creations. for to create is the role that an 'artist' *there it is again* must begin and end with. for quality is not for the 'artist' *gagging* to decide. only truth. truth to experience and perspective.
with that in mind i offer quantity. to sit on these songs any longer would not only be painfully uncomfortable, but would also work against the very thing i'm trying to accomplish. namely, to finish something.............so the plan is to move ahead from here. to continue to work and finagle these songs to completion. in the meantime i hope these will suffice for all you crazy masses of people constantly calling and stalking me on my way home. that means you stephen baldwin..............
more to come.......
*the picture next to 'bronx' was taken from the site www.banksy.co.uk and is the work of graffiti 'artist' *he hates that word too* 'banksy'. please go to his website and please come away changed.
*i promise to use less '' and * next time.

The World is Flat
work is progessing slowly, yet assuredly. 'pilguin pop', the first song to hopefully see the light of day, should be up and downloadable shortly. this is the rise of the post-post-post-modern age. we are all brothers and sisters, and brothers and sisters share. so in anticipation of that marxist utopia that I know we are all still waiting for, it is my desire to send out the music for free. So please download, please burn, please share. I hold no regard for dignity. but you must act quickly. already the leather boots can be heard marching along the cobblestone streets of moscow. its only a matter of time before this idealistic society is hijacked by the lenninistic necessity of the being able to afford those new video ipods. you don't even notice how small the screen is!
moving on, for those of you of the economic/political bent, might i humbly recommend thomas l. friedman's book, 'the world is flat: a brief history of the twenty first century'. this comprehensive book traces the rise of the internet and other technological advancements that have played a huge part in the growing global economy. It is a great starting point to the topic or perhaps even a nice companion piece to naomi klein's classic 'no logo.' though perhaps a bit too lenient at times on corporations and the potential of their growing and frightening amount of influence (I see all you adbusters readers out there) this is, to borrow a phrase, a case of 'eat the chicken and leave the bones.' but please come hungry, because there is a lot of chicken on the table.......or tofu.......whatever your preference.
you may ask, 'what does this have to do with canon blue?' to which i may respond, 'absolutely nothing, and absolutely everything.'
