Josh's New Job

So...

A few weeks ago, I found an ad on Craigslist simply titled "Music Writers Needed". The job promised a position reviewing albums for an online music magazine, with such perks as free music, free shows, and the chance to interview famous musicians. The only catch: it was an unpaid position. However, they were looking specifically for a metal writer. I said "What the hell?" and responded. A few days later, I was the newest reviewer for MXDWN! I recently completed my first review, which went live a few days ago. In a trial-by-fire twist, the first album I had to cover was only tangentially related to metal. It's TOOL frontman Maynard James Keenan's trip-hop side project Puscifer. Check out the link below, and keep your eyes pointed at my Facebook page and the band's Facebook for more reviews as they come! And if you like it, feel free to click that ol' Like button and/or send it to all your friends! PLEASE feel free.

WIDGET!!!!

So we were messing around with our TuneCore account (which I set up a year ago and promptly forgot that I had) and made you all a little "widget" to play with.

What exactly is a "widget", you ask? I know I did. THIS is a "widget":

Pretty neat, huh? We thought so, and hope you do, too. It has all kinds of cool features like a fully streaming version of our latest EP, "The Sobriquets Are Out Of Style", some photos of us from my Flickr, our videos on YouTube, our Twitter feed, tour dates and more. Please, feel free to share it and embed it on your favorite blog, message board, social networking site, etc. Feel so incredibly free to do so.

If you have any trouble sharing it, e-mail us at band@thesobriquets.com and we'll send you the HTML code ourselves.

Hope everyone is enjoying their summer, and we'll see you all from the stage real soon (you could use the widget to find out when and where, it is that useful).
