Sum 41 To Release Full Length Album
Sum 41 will be releasing a full length album instead of an EP that they originally had planned. A message about the change can be read below.
WE’RE MAKING AN ALBUM.
there was talk about doing an ep and then that turned into other things. next thing you know we’re sitting here with a whole bunch of songs that we really like. so instead of doing anything else we’ve just decided to go and make a full album. as to when it will come out, i don’t know. i would say it’s safe to say it will be out this year. unless for some reason we need to keep going and it pushes it back further. but right now everything is on track and feels good. things are going to start moving fast here so keep checking back for updates as much as possible.see you all soon!

Michael Zapruder – Dragon Chinese Cocktail Horoscope
Artist: Michael Zapruder
Album: Dragon Chinese Cocktail Horoscope
Label: SideCho Records
Release Date: March 24th, 2009
Overall: 9.0
Music: 9.0
Lyrics: 8.5
Production: 8.0
Nowadays, it’s becoming harder and harder to find a musician that deserves to be called a “song writer”. With hooks becoming more and more necessary for success, the true artistry behind music is being sacrificed to those who are masters of alliteration and clever metaphors. Gone are the days of meaningful lyrics draped with light but powerful instruments. But every now and again, we find someone who does deserve this title, someone who puts together an album that is thought out, planned and meticulously carved into a piece worthy of great praise. This brings us to Michael Zapruder’s album, “Dragon Chinese Cocktail Horoscope.”
“Happy New Year” leads the track in with light piano and mildly electronic drums that introduce us to the world to Michael Zapruder. This song brings us right in with very catchy instrumentals coupled with sentimental lyrics, that along with Michael’s stream of consciousness type lyrics bring us full-force into this album.
Whether it be the Arcade Fire-esque “Ads For Feelings”, the beautiful piano in “Can’t We Bring You Home” which propels straight to an older time in the basement of a pub somewhere in downtown New York, as Michael softly croons the title of the track with light strings howling in the background. Whether it be the acoustic tinges of “Harbor Saints”, which just makes the listener feel good. It’s all to apparent that “Dragon Chinese Cocktail Horoscope” is a CD that makes you feel as if you are the only person that understands it, yet you want all of your loved ones to hear it and love it just as much as you.
The thing that makes this album stand out amongst it’s contemporaries, is that it feels as though every single note, every single lyric is thought out and meticulously crafted into one beautiful composition of music. This album could be life’s work that is how well put together it is. It feels as though it has taken years to get it out to people, because every second with it is appreciated and lovingly taken care of.
In conclusion, “Dragon Chinese Cocktail Horoscope” is a very diverse and well approached and implemented piece of work. It basically defines all that is right with music right now, and should serve as a precedent to any other potential artist out there as how to execute a great record. This album deserves all the praise in the world, it has no flaws as each moment is enjoyed and cherished. This album needs to be heard by everyone you know, for music’s sake.
Paper + Plastick Records
Vinnie Fiorello has announced the launch of his new endeavor, Paper + Plastick Records, based out of Gainesville, FL. Fiorello is a founding member of legendary ska/punk band Less Than Jake, and founder/former owner of the successful label Fueled By Ramen (Fall Out Boy, Panic! At The Disco).
The independent label will take a new and alternative approach to music retail by selling the highest digital quality music files available, along with deluxe digital packaging. The label will also only release physical music on exclusive, multi-colored and oddly shaped vinyl, making all Paper + Plastick releases a must have for recording buffs, vinyl collectors and music fans alike.
“I think that brick and mortar stores are a dying breed,” comments Fiorello. “Chain stores are folding and the stores that remain want you to buy a TV instead of showcasing new music. I choose not to worry about the CD. That’s also dying, so why try to keep it alive now? I would much rather support independent record stores by putting out independent music in the format that I love, the format that kept and keeps the underground vibrant ““ vinyl.”
Fiorello also plans to release music digitally via the Paper + Plastick website, www.paperandplastick.com, weeks before the music will be available on digital retail outlets such as iTunes, Amazon.com and Emusic.com. Music downloaded from retail outlets loose their integrity and bitrate, but music from PaperandPlastick.com will be high quality digital recordings. Two versions of each album will be available for purchase through the website with varying prices.
Standard edition: 320 Bitrate music file
Deluxe edition: Free Lossless Audio Codec (FLAC) music files, hi-res album art, PDF booklets, and videos
Vinyl releases add the “Plastick” to the label’s name, which will also be home to a number of books. Fiorello has already authored a children’s book and first “Paper” release for the company, entitled Sometimes Robots Like Being Robots, which will be available this Spring.
