2012Threads.com is (finally) here!!
a good buddy of ours and member of Four Letter Lie, John Waltmann founded a clothing company called 2012 Threads centering around the lore and hysteria that the year 2012 is bringing to our culture.
when i first saw the clothing, i was INSTANTLY amazed and asked if i could help out in some way. John decided to appoint me to head up some of the business operations of 2012 Threads and plug him into the Panacea3 machine as well.
after a long battle with an overseas web design company and the help of Virtual Monk, we are finally launching the site. you may have noticed some photos of us sporting 2012 Threads and we hope to see you supporting this small company as well. just in time for all your holiday shopping i might add 
click here to visit the BRAND NEW 2012Threads.com and happy shopping!

minnesota snow bird
on friday, novebmer 20th, modernsextrash will be playing our last show until the spring. why such a break? because i’m moving as far away from the snow as i possibly can!
i’m moving to the dominican republic for the winter months, goals:
1. to write a ton of amazing mst songs.
2. improve my surfing skills.
3. continue to build the Panancea3 empire via the web.
this trip is a temporary relocation to avoid the physical and mental wear that the minnesota winters tend to deal to my existence.
this is in no way, shape or form a sign that modernsextrash is slowing down, as a matter of fact, things are just starting to become quite epic. we are currently mixing our next set of 6 songs that will be released sometime this winter. we’re also lining up some very exciting touring/management scenarios for 2010.
additionally, we are launching the “live” portion of mst.com which will feature bi-weekly streams of us doing really cool, earth shattering stuff. the first one will be hosted by me @ 8:30pm CST on monday november 23rd, tune in and let me bid you farewell before i venture south!!

the internets, today.
even though the web 2.0 buzz is getting beaten into the ground lately, tim and i believe that there are some drastic changes nearly afoot, web 3.0?
we’ve got some ideas.
information spreads much faster than wildfire does, and imitation/adaptation/evolution is capable “virtually” overnight.
awesome.

Tom Cruise in “The Sixth Sense”
With technologies’ exponential growth turning a blind eye to economical situations and low spirits across the country, mankind begins the race for answers and a new path of convenience through life. Wether its science, religion, or a strange mix of the two led by Jerry Maguire, we must keep the key to believing in a higher power.
We must be aware of inventions like this before marketing tactics present them to us in a way that benefits them and allows us justification in rewiring our natural “sixth-sense” that houses the human soul. Imagine for a second how many strong Christian followers rely on Macintosh’s apple computer, iPod, or iPhone every day and don’t even realize the genius behind the companies branding we all recognize and relate to without hesitation.
“Belief in things invisible is not a privilege of religious people, believers, alone, but is a necessity if one is to be able to explain the world in a reasonable fashion and lead a meaningful life. An understanding of the invisible reality around us negates the usual boundaries of time and space and gives our lives significance.” From the words of Carl Welkisch.
As we Build Society for the 21st Century with online communities evolving faster than we can read the terms of agreement too, and technology that keeps us connected to fueling this growth, we must never forget our natural senses and abilities to live, learn, and make our own decision. Much like we dodge the unanswerable question and say, ” the point of life is to enjoy the ride,” maybe it is best that we do not define our “sixth-sense”. Maybe it is best that we respect it as a physical tool that brings us faster communication, material convenience and nothing more.
