It’s all happening!

sancha — Sat, 26 Jun 2010 20:31:20 +0000

So, there may have been a few false starts. One or two… But now, it looks like the infamous White/Grey/Black project is finally launching! Let there be, you know, cheers and stuff. Fireworks.

There may be all kinds of cool things in the future including a Jubilee E.P. and other releases as well as a whole bunch of other, presumably cool, things.

Since you won’t want to take my word for it, you should head over to the WGB tumblr and read about it yourselves. Then you should head to whitegreyblack.la and sign up for the mailing list (unless you already have).

After that, you’re free to be whatever you, whatever you choose and all that.

And of course you can sing the blues if you want.

Archived Squires of Dimness Comics

I don't remember where this came from

After thinking and thinking and thinking, I finally realized I could continue being cheap and post the super-old “full length” Squires of Dimness comics on Tumblr! So, again, the non-Mini Squires will be archived there.

You’d have to be a little patient since many of them are posted in parts. Welp, it’s better than nothing, I guess!

Enjoy!

More twitter news

Maybe you noticed the White/Grey/Black myspace and you asked yourself WTF (or, if slightly more prudish, perhaps, WTH) is up with that? Well, the most recent update (from Coming Home Records’ twitter) says this:

Aaron North (Jubilee + NIN) and myself have started a new company, so follow us at http://twitter.com/whtgreyblk

So if you remain curious about the whole venture and would like to be less so, add them to your twitter for updates.

Not that this update is of any use anymore…but hey! Pictures!

No, it's not the hat that's on sale.

Wow we suck hard. Like, so hard.

But as, Jubilee’s last Myspace blog says – for “Gits and Shiggles” I’ll post this update just to pretend we know what’s up. So, other than an explanation of the canceled Jubilee shows, I guess Aaron has (or had) equipment used during his time with NIN on sale.

If you missed out on any of that stuff like we did, I guess there’s still some fun photos of the equipment (and other miscellaney) to look at!

Let’s do the Time Warp again!

Because I haven’t contributed much, lately, in the NS archives, I thought I’d do some digging around on the interwebs. Remember this interview from The NIN Hotline? Luckily, it’s still up there! Read up on what equipment he used for each song and if he wipes sitting or standing up.

Buy cool shit

Didn’t you ever get to go to any of the Jubilee shows? Has it bugged you ever since that you never got one of those special vinyls? Do you want to be the only kid in town with a real, genuine Jubilee tee?

You need not fret. Take a deep breath and click here. It ain’t cheap, but it can be had. Including burnout tees (which I happen to love the feel of, but to each his own). And if you want to know WHY you need to support this excellent band, read their own explanation.

And just for the record, never, ever, stick a test press vinyl up yer pooper, even if it is special and all that. Not even for Halloween.

Save Shabbey Road!!!

Jubilee’s home studio, Shabbey Road, is in need of major repairs. To help raise money to fix the place up – and clear out some much-needed space – a bunch of Aaron’s gear from his touring days with Nine Inch Nails is up for sale. Check out Aaron’s latest message from Jubilee’s MySpace blog here.

Oh, and this.

P.S. Lotsa stuff happening with Jubilee, including an upcoming E.P., and some local live shows. Can’t wait. See ya soon.

Aaron-captioned Squires

Anne Tai — Sun, 23 Aug 2009 20:36:45 +0000

I dug these up and, originally, was only going to post them on my art blog. But, hey, these were originally on North-Side.net so it was only fair to post them here! Below are doodles Aaron was kind enough to caption. Enjoy!

Captioned after the crazy show in Cabazon 2006. Caption scribbled in by Mr. North.

North Side Vs. Aaron North

sancha — Sun, 02 Aug 2009 16:34:36 +0000

Last year, I cornered Aaron while on tour in England and asked him a bunch of questions about the quality of British food, the pains of touring and what it feels like to sound like Damon Albarn with a cold. Being a top notch kinda guy, he actually answered them.

Since these are big and profound questions that we all occasionally ponder, we know you’ve missed this interview so we decided to dig it up and re-post it.

Enjoy. Or don’t. It’s a free country.
