Devin Townsend posts update, the

New update regarding Devin Townsend's work on "Ghost"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=flGug8SRLWk

Hey  folks, Dev here, I left my camera in the studio so I’m using the Imovie. So I think I’m about 75% finished “Ghost” and it seems like it’s going to be a double record and the label has graciously agreed to do that. I got it kinda in the ball park, mix wise and we leave on tour in like 2 weeks so gotta get it finished into mastering before then. It’s gone really well, pretty easily, it’s a pretty diverse record. I’ve been very fortunate to have some really cool people involved it , obviously Mike and Dave play drums and keyboards. A lady named Katrina sang the  vocals, female vocals, a great job. Kat Apple (?) who’s a flute player, did all the wind instruments and just amazing work, I’ve been listening to her since I was a teenager so it’s a real big honour to have her agree to be on one of my records, in all honesty shocking but did such a great job, as you can hear >indicates  background music< So,  Deconstructed’s next, we’ve got this American tour and then I come back and do Deconstruction and it looks I’ll be using the Prague Symphony choir for certain elements of that, it looks like that’ll be a double record too, so no sleep for the turtle-esk. Enjoy, there’ll be some more updates soon. Hope your doing good.

We're not looking for a replacement co-host, stop asking...

I've received a few emails etc about the re-appearance of Caleb on the show last night, the main thing I'm wanting to address is the issue of co-host of the show.


I'm not looking for anyone to replace Random Guy as co-host (old hfhshow co-host- started with me back in 2006) There have been some awesome people put their names forward (and some not-so-awesome) and I feel stink having to say no all the time, but such is life.


I appreciate the interest but ultimately, if I want a co-host (or even replacement to take over hfhshow after me, in years to come) I will be the one to ask the individual(s) and put their names forward to the station, myself.


I'm still having fun, and will continue hardfastnheavy'ing for a long while yet...
