So much going on these days.  We're in the mixing stage of our second release, Lost in the Everyday, and it's sounding amazing so far.  We've been playing out a whole bunch including at FlashRock studios where we were filmed in action.  Check out the videos in the media section!

More new and exciting things are on the way so check the website for updates.

That's right.  Yours truly, tHe CoNStAnT, is up right this very second on iTunes.  If you can't wait to wrap your ears around Sometimes Things Just Happen you can get instant gratification by purchasing your copy now directly from iTunes.  Now we still suggest you purchase the actual physical CD from our store instead (or in addition to) because you get the full, lossless cd quality plus the fantastic artwork.  And you can always rip the cd to mp3 on your own.

Fixed up the last few issues so we can show the world our brand new site.

There was some kicking and screaming, I'll admit, and there's still work to be done but it's pretty bitchin' if you ask me.

Since our new site is based on Drupal CMS it's much easier to maintain and for all of us to use.  That means more and more frequent content for you all so check back often.

Also, you can create an account for access to additional content or simply sign up for our newsletter to keep up with the latest and greatest from tHe CoNStAnT.

The website is nearing launch completeion.  I'm sure we'll have more work to do once people are actually using it but it's going to be a huge improvement over the current site and so much easier to maintain and edit.

I sure will be glad to get this thing off of my plate.

And then we can go live.

There's always more work to be done but at least we'll be on the brand new site and additional changes will be much easier.

Getting very close to finishing up the website.  Of course you won't see this post until it's live anyway but it makes me feel better to tell you now.

Man, that took a well timed update, some inginuity and a whole lot of cursing but I think the galleries are pretty cool.

Fortunately they're also easy to use so hopefully my work with them is done except for adding photos.

now it's on to adding a media player.  Nothing is simple...

Finally starting to get the hang of this thing.

It's slow going in many aspects and so many things to configure.  It's quite powerful and you can pretty much have drupal do whatever you want but

you need to know what you're doing.  And I don't, really.

drupal is pretty cool but it's a lot more complicated than I expected.

It's sort of a like a diary only instead of being secret you have everyone and their mother read it.
