Here’s the “real” (albeit unmastered) version of “Anthem” for all you nonbelievers. Hope you like it.
It Speaks For Itself
If you need further proof:
We don’t know it yet, but we are living in the Golden Age.
Somewhat Freshly Back From Germany
Nothing special here, just a shot of Conrad during his trip (with freshly-minted wife) to Germany with a special bottle of Jubal Cain-centric beer.
Top of Your Head Blues, etc.
While you’re checking out all the cool stuff on this site (and we know you are), stop over at the Jubal Cain YouTube channel , you can take a look at our strange Top of Your Head Blues video, a song that began in late 2002 and ended up in this form circa July, 2003. It was filmed on a tight budget (approximately $12 if you account for the 8MM digital tape and the special effects budget). It’s a good snapshot of five year-old Jubal Cain, illustrative of our throw-it-against-the-wall ethos that you’ll undoubtedly recognize.
Laserblast on YouTube
While we have our own warped review in the non-music section of JubalCain.com, I have discovered the long-lost (1996) Mystery Science Theater 3000 version of Laserblast. Cheryl “Rainbeaux” Smith is still hot, even junked up to hell (well before the decrepit version featured in “Parasite”).
Ten Parts in toto!
And the links work, too…
Well, most of them do. You’ll note (or maybe not) that most of the dead links that have been lying around on the site have been corrected. We’re still plugging away with redesign stuff, including new Downloads and Image Gallery pages (coming soon!)
Until everything is perfect, I’ll distract you with this YouTube classic, Manfred Mann’s version of Bruce Springsteen’s “Blinded By The Light”. Note the famous “wrapped up like a douche” line is really the biproduct of vocalist Chris Thompson failing to grasp what “revved up like a Deuce” meant (give him a break, he’s a musician, and English to boot), and the fact that its subsequent mangling “wrapped up like a Deuce” has absolutely no meaning.
But he’s a great singer / frontman in a 70’s sort of way…
But What I Meant To Say…
You could tell by now that we haven’t updated since February, and it’s now August. Well, the new and old stuff has been our main priority over that time, and the “Movie Cult” LP has just moved into its final mix for all but one song. We would like to add electric twelve-sting to it, but we don’t have one, so “Edison Roll Shine” is still in a zombified state until we get it figured out. When the final nail is in that zombie’s coffin, the album will be ready for mastering, and then we won’t be lying about release dates. Until the next record.
THIS TIME I’M NOT LYING: The website is transitioning over fully to jubalcain.com, and the final pieces have yet to be moved over from jubalcain.net, but that will be taking place shortly. I mean it.
Welcome To The Relaunch
Here we are again, re-relaunching the News portion of our site. I’ve made a bunch of tweaks on the Admin side, upgrading to the latest version of Wordpress and such.
So now we’re back here to make overblown predictions about the upcoming/pending/imminent release of “Movie Cult” all over again!
