Dunno, but The Tubes are about to have a surge in interest on their site I'm guessing....

EDIT: location back as Sunset Yellow - California.

perhaps they are working on the fabled bocset. working backwards towards the older material?

"The completion backwards principle", and why it disappeared as soon is it came... Sounds like the record company is waving with a contract at some lazy producers???

BOC acquired the site some time ago didn't they? But yeah, you're probably right...

new myspace update - seems to be arabic language.

Where? I don't see arabic anywhere.

When I read that phrase, what came to mind was the experience of trying to put an album together once you have all of the material finished and polished. What order the tracks go in, which tracks to leave out, how they're mixed together, etc. You complete your body of work, like a big block of wood, and then whittle it down to the final sculpture (moving backwards in a way).

Probably just wishful thinking on my part.

לבצע משהו and אַחֲרִית הַיָמִי

It's hebrew apparently. No idea what it means. Ooooh, it's just like Red Moon crossed with the Da Vinci Code, mixed up in an Enigma Machine or something....

EDIT: according to a crappy translator I found לבצע משהו mean "Do Something" whilst אַחֲרִית הַיָמִי means "Future marine".

I'm going to "do something" right now in fact. I'm going to finish watching Match of the Day, then I'm off to bed. Nighty-night.

A little hebrew-english dictionary for each word:

משהו: nm. something, anything; a little bit, a bit, aught
לבצע: nm. greed; profiteering; advantage
הַיָמִי: adj. marine (adj. ) , maritime, neptunian, salty, seafaring, seagoing
אַחֲרִית: nf. end; remainder

A bit of profiterring at the salty end!
