Preeeeeeeeeeetty bad, also alludes to lesbian-ism at the end, the hell's that about.
So what's the deal with this "RED" camera technology? Looked the same as any other production to me. Seems like a bit of a waste if this video is only going to do the rounds on video streaming sites anyway

oh yeah I forgot about the "RED" camera technology ... I was expecting some crazy fight scenes with CGI effects over the top. Didn't Billy say something about Japanese fighting techniques too?

I can't remember. Personally, I just want to forget about this video and anything "Owata" related and resume getting excited about Oceania!

Yeah, I hope I'm not building myself up for something more with Oceania. Not long to find out.

I've been really critical of teargarden, but it is really growing on me lately, tom tom is an awesome song, owata isn't as good live, but i don't mind it now, and I actually enjoyed the short film. Remind anyone of that machina short clip from the GH? Similar style different story. Everyone should watch the whole clip, It's a different take for a music video, instead of just performance Billy is telling stories again . I'm also enjoying lightning strikes and enjoy the fellowship after that annoying 1990's amiga computer tone dies out, it's a solid song Are you with us or against us

So Oceania isn't coming out till 2012 now ... but will be able to be heard before the end of the year. My guess is the band has thought let's release Gish/Siamese Dream in November then the press will cover that, then they can ride that media wave will the news about Oceania. Smart move, and I think I'd prefer them to do this rather than release now and Oceania get no coverage. Also Billy has mentioned the Oceania tour coming to Australia. I hope we see them first half of the year in 2012 ... around April for my 30th would be grand

Because you ask questions about music and the production / techy side of it I think. Anyway, keep them coming sir

Aaaand from the Live Nation twitter invasion:
Me: Do you feel that Zeitgeist was the right album at the right time? If not, then what is it about Oceania (and this band lineup) that makes it the right one?
Billy: No. Wrong album, wrong time. This is the right band and right time -Billy

I did see that, it was a great question and I was surprised he answered it ... but glad he did too.

Thoughts on the new songs so far.??

I'm liking them. Obviously I like epics, so Oceania (the song) sounds great. It does feel a little disjointed but I don't know if that is the live recording not doing the song justice. But besides that the other tracks sound 'ok' ... but nothing has really grabbed me to be like "woah". I look back to Zwan days and I would hear a new song live and I would get it straight away, these still feel a little like they are lacking that little hook. I'm also not sure I like the revamped My Love Is Winter. I loved the slow build up of the old version ... Anyway, not making final calls until I hear the record.

Yep sound good to me....... only listen to them a handful of times.
Panopticon and Oceania are my fav's so far.!!! The start of Oceania reminds me a little of the Cure and the different levels of the song are awesome..... can't wait to hear the album.!!! ;D ;D

Hipsters have it on their page if you guy's want a quick listen........... it's like SD cross with TBK with a hint of Zwan.

I've been listening to the usb sbd recordings from the tour, the new songs sound really good. I love the acoustic dreamy pumpkin country bit in Oceania; 'Sweet baby nurture me! Try to wait on me' etc., sounds like BC hasn't exhausted his songwriting powers!
Oh, and attitude wise Quasar reminds me of the vocal delivery from Slunk, kind of spitting out the lyrics as the song drives forward in waves. It's cool.
