Got a message today from a MySpace friend who wanted to know what is up with the two different versions of our debut album "Twitch of the Def Nerve".  There's a USA version from 2004 and a UK version from 2006, and they are more different than they are the same.

Basically, here's what happened:

We made an album called "Twitch of the Def Nerve" and sold it ourselves on CDBaby.com as a totally do-it-yourself thing.  We even handmade the artwork for each copy!  We probably made about 50 of those total.  They are going to be very hard to find, I'm afraid.  I don't think I even have a copy, just the songs on my hard drive.

Subsequently, we were signed to a record label (Some Bizzare) and they put out an album in the UK under the same name, but with some different tracks (this same album will eventually be released in the USA as well).  The tracks are different because many of the songs (including the Evil Dead song) are sample clearance problems.  Without getting into copyright issues (I could write a book about it), even the songs that are on our UK album are a risk, but the ones we cut were open invitations to litigation...

In my opinion, the UK album is the better album, with better songs on it.

However, there are a number of differences:

"The Beginning" is a short intro collage track that is only on the underground US version.  Not only was it a sample problem, but we changed our minds about starting an album with a bunch of people saying things - our UK album gets to the music much faster.  "The End" was the same sort of thing, and dropped for similar reasons - too many samples, not really neccessary.

"Evil Dead (only movies mix)" is a track on the USA album, but it's just the audio part of The MFF vs The Evil Dead.   At the moment, this track can be downloaded from our MySpace page for free!

"Return of the Monster", "Turntable Torture", "Bloodthirsty Creatures From Beyond", "Incredible But True", and "Grindhouse" were all lost for sample clearance reasons, but replaced by better songs that we wrote later.  I admit that it makes me sad that people won't hear them, but making sample-based music is a life fraught with dissapointment.

I personally think of the UK version as the "real" version of the album, and I also think it's just plain better.

take care,

THE MFF are proud to announce the completion of Twitch of the Def Nerve: The Movie.  This visual accompaniment to our album of the same name is 25 minutes long and contains 5 full-length music videos, plus newly made transition collages exclusive to the film!

We hope you will all have a chance to see it - we intend to tour it in clubs and film festivals around the world.  We will keep you posted on where and when it can be seen.  If you or anyone you know would be interested in showing our film, please send us a message right here at myspace.

thanks!

We've just put up our classic mashup of the Eurhythmics' "Sweet Dreams" and 50 Cent's "Like My Style."  We made this some time last year, and it's been very popular among our friends - now you can enjoy it, too!  At least, until the thought police make us take it down.

Thanks to our friend Kevin Feniks, straight outta Russia, we can now offer the MFF vs The Evil Dead for download!  Get it fast before the copyright Nazis start beefin' on the fair use.  The link to download it is:

Much respect to Kevin Feniks of KECC Group!

Though hardly a political animal, the MFF is the more germane of the two branches of our art-terror cell - the militant wackos being known as Owns Your Brain.  Kevin has created an Anime Music Video for Owns Your Brain's theme song, "Fuck the Bozos."  This is, to our knowledge, the first piece of transatlantic video art to be made EXCLUSIVELY from sounds and pictures stolen from other sources.  If you stilll think that sampling lacks in creativity after watching this video, just don't say so around Owns Your Brain, or they may be forced to steal your shit next.  Use this link to download "Fuck the Bozos" by Owns Your Brain, video directed by Kevin Feniks:

You may need a download manager to get these videos.  I like Alligator - it's "adware" but very non-invasive - no spyware or popups, just a banner on the program screen:

Please pass the videos around as much as possible (but DO NOT charge money!) and check back here for more updates!  The Best of Some Bizzare is coming in October, and there is a news item on this Depeche Mode site about it:

We are almost sad to see the end of this ten-year project, but we are proud of the result - our first music video:  The MFF vs The Evil Dead

You can find it either here:

The first MFF music video project is nearing completion.  Those of you who have known us for a while know that we have been working on an Evil Dead song for longer than we've been a band (about 10 years).  In 2004, after 3 false starts and countless drafts, we finished "Evil Dead (only movies mix)", a song made of nothing but Evil Dead samples.

Taking the project to its next logical level, we began editing video from the Evil Dead films into a music video for the song, making this the first music video to be EXCLUSIVELY made out of a movie (or three movies, in this case).  Everything you see and everything you hear in the video came from the Evil Dead films, with nothing added.

The music video is now finished and undergoing final adjustments.  We will be posting it right here next week!  Keep an eye out and be sure to tell your friends!
