Over a decade/Upcoming events

First, I have to take a moment and be somewhat stunned. In nosing through the music on my portable hard drive, I stumbled across the FLCL and Earth Maiden Arjuna soundtracks. Those shows were key in keeping me into anime in my relative youth, especially Arjuna as it was one of the series that got me into fansubs, and that method of anime acquisition introduced me to whole genres I wouldn’t have dared try left to my own devices. This then precipitates into anime becoming critical to my musical development (both in terms of melodic composition influence and subject matter for lyrics,) and of course it eventually gets me in as a reporter/critic and later a moderator at ToonZone.net. Still, while I can remember watching Arjuna via the old DivX player software like it was yesterday, that’s now over ten years ago. My how the world has changed in those years.
Anyways, I need all my fan(s) to be aware that I have an upcoming song for the first ever Nerdcore Now compilation. If that’s not incentive enough, Beefy, Death*Star and Supercommuter will also be representing with many other good (read: there is quality control on this compilation) artists. It’s a pretty good track, and it’s indicative of what will be on the next Ultraklystron album/mixtape/8-track, whenever that happens. Oddly enough, I don’t think I make even one anime reference during the whole track.
Like I said, change.
