Sean Bell Verdict and Bad Ad Timing

First of all, I call bullshit on the Sean Bell case verdict. I know the police are supposed to shoot to maim, not shoot to kill at first so tell me how 50 shots is ok? The whole fucking thing is just a disgusting mess and sets a precedent as to what we can expect in the future... now on a lighter note:

I went to CNN.com to check out the news on the trial and lo and behold I witness quite possibly the worst advertising timing I have ever seen. Look to the right of the article at the ad that was displayed when I went there. I had to laugh my ass off but still it's just wrong! It wouldn't have been as bad if the kid in the picture was white and had his mouth closed.

UPDATE: Trying something new... Evil Adam Ringtones?

Try it out, let me know what you think. You can select ANY part of the song you want! Totally up to you!

I've decided that any ringtones I ever make will be free, so this post will be updated from now one with whichever ones I make.

Also, I have added the capability of making the Evil Adam Poster Art available as wallpaper for your phone!

Enjoy!

Thanks,
Rene Rosa aka Evil Adam

No April Fools?

Nope, didn't do it this year... or for a few years actually, at least not that I remember.

Why? Well, according to Google analytics, about 4 people would have seen it yesterday...

Yeah, 4.

So, for you folks who are reading this now, all 4 of you, I thank you for that, at the very least. I did however do an April Fools joke for work, so if you want to see that one you can check it out right here. Sure, it's not as cool now that you know it is a prank, but still I think I did an ok job of it... right?

Anyhow, I was super busy doing QA on a new section of my job's website so I had to prepare the gag the day before and set it to post the next day. I didn't have time to do something for www.eviladam.com but hopefully I get to the next few years.

Yay!

The Last Session...

Tonight is the last session for recording at SAE with Zack and Lucain and I hope it goes a lot smoother than last.

Apparently Evil Adam is really a digital age only "band" and anything that is magnetic hates having me around. An 8 hour session was really difficult to get through on Saturday and we got way less than we hoped to done, so hopefully tonight goes a lot less... fucky.

Anyhow, there is so much work to be done to finish this CD and unfortunately too much of it is going to be done outside of the confines of SAE and the sound rooms that they provide. What does that mean? Neighbors of different places will be pissed off a few times in the next year or so.

Oh well!

Last Night's Recording Rocked and More...

So, for those of you keeping track, last night's recording went swimingly well. Jay managed to play his ass off on 4 songs and did one song he has never ever played before within 2 takes. I owe him 50 bucks on a bet for that one (less than 3 takes gets him the gold).

Anyhow, I think this is going to be something special. Zack and Lucain have been producing/engineering these songs at SAE and they are doing a great job, and no matter how much hard work this has been for both Jay and myself we are still having fun with it. So now to start planning the next phase of things, guitar and vocals.

After that, then it is all about mixing and mastering, which I'll only really be giving the yay or nay on how things come together, but I am psyched for them to be done to be able to plan the next step.... MAKING SOME GODDAMN VIDEOS, finally!

I have a few folks that I know for damn sure will most likely be down to help me with that, but I have something interesting planned for the final release of this work and those videos are a big part of it. I think some form of contest may be in order for one video, maybe animated or something, however, I will need a strong grassroots push by folks willing to help me spread the details once they are to come about. Oh, the interwebs, how awesome you are.

Anyhow, I have a lot to worry about before all THAT happens. I am getting married to my Rosa Ferrer (soon to be Rosa Rosa) this year, and that is a major big huge fucking deal. I'm so psyched and happy about that. It will, however, suck all the energy and monetary resources out of me, and rightfully so it will be the most important day of my life. As such, I will have to hold on to next year as the return of Evil Adam... which is not a bad thing. 2009 is 10 years from when Evil Adam started playing live, so maybe it all makes sense for that anyway.

Oh, and Ruben Rodriguez, Angel Rosa, and Will Bookman, you guys are already in my mind for set videos that are not part of the contest thingy... that will be for complete strangers to enter. Don't worry =)

More Recording Tonight

Jay and I are recording some more drum and bass tracks tonight, and no I don't meant the techno stuff. We're laying down the foundations for 3 songs and re-doing tracks for one song we did earlier, because, well this new setup sounds better. In the next month I have to finish up an assload of guitar and vocal tracks, so I'm very glad and thankful to Jay that he can do this for me.

This CD/release/album or whatever you want to call it is definitely going to kick ass. Finally I'll have something that really sounds like a professional recording for Evil Adam, though I really wish I could have had more people on it, like you know, a full band! Oh well, here's to hoping that this recording may just help me put those pieces together for next year.

Out With The Old And In With The New

You've probably not been wondering about when I would update the site. You've probably not cared that I ever had a blog or journal or whatever else was up here. You probably don't remember listening to Evil Adam or even know what Rene Rosa looks like. You probably don't give a shit about any of these things, but if you are reading this then I guess you should know that I have started a new blog for Evil Adam and it will reside right here at http://www.eviladam.com .

So far this blog system is nice and simple and easy to update and I like it just fine. It took a little work to get my template around it, but hey, what are ye gonna do. Anyhow, don't forget to check out http://www.reverbnation.com/eviladam and http://www.myspace.com/eviladam for song stuff and other things, but for the most part if there is news to be had, it will be had here!

Thanks,
Rene Rosa - that dude who started this whole Evil Adam thing.
