Random thoughts from a digital drummingfish swimming upriver throwing plastic discs while shooting jumpers.

Glad they are back

Stone Temple Pilots that is. This week (tomorrow, 5/25/10) sees their first new release in 9 years and a flurry of new dates coming.

Can’t say how thrilled I am to have one of my favorite bands from the 90′s back in action. Watched a concert from March in Chicago last night on Palladia which showed them in fine form too.

The cool thing for me is I have been going back to all the side projects too.

I liked Army of Anyone which came in out in 2007 but today I finally found Talk Show available for download on Amazon. This was the short lived project with Duncan Coutts (from Ten Inch Men, so-so LA alt something band). This was a really cool disc that I regretted losing over the years. The band didn’t sell any records but I just loved this album. Thought Duncan was a cool addition to their thing and he was a nice change of pace considering how f**ked up Weiland was in 96-97.

Anyway, regardless, happy to be listening to Talk Show and happy STP are BACK!
Been too long guys.
