I really should start posting more music but between work and the modded Wii, I have no time. So instead I'm going to take the next drastic step:

October 1st starts our annual Horror Movie Marathon From Heck. That's at least 1 different movie every day for the entire month. When finished I'm gonna tweet a small <140 character review. Should be fun and I'm hella excited.

Some of these flicks will be obscure. Others notorious "Video Nasties". Some cultish while all completely never before seen by yours truly. (Ok, I lied. But who can pass up an opportunity to see PLAN FRIGGIN' 9 on the big screen?!!)

Although it seems like forever since I've posted anything new [a month, in fact] I should tell you that I've been very busy demoing new material. Recordings you hear on this MySpace are not exactly [ok, nearly] finished/mixed/structured the way the finished tune will eventually be. Sometimes things take longer than I had hoped [unemployment is funny that way]. But, instead of letting something perfectly listenable rot on my hard drive, I thought it'd be cool to start posting that stuff here.

As of now, finished albums will be posted on my PV site here: http://www.purevolume.com/jianhicks

Another sound effect/construction kit/sample disc is in the works and I hope to have it added to my FS page soon:

It has been a constant battle with filesharing sites to keep .zips up to date and online. I have no interest in charging for my music and I certainly don't want to hammer anyone with ad-riddled hosting sites. I write and record for me but it's always nice to see a kind word posted here. If anyone's interested in higher quality versions of the stuff posted here, please let me know.

For you DJs and remixers: raw tracks available upon request.

Thanks for taking the time to listen.
