wound relentlessly around the words we used to slinggg.
congrats thomas! i’m glad durden is finally getting recognition
thomas, my name’s gabriel. i saw you in orlando and showed you my marilyn monroe tattoo and me and my friends carried you for a picture. i really hope you remember me. lol. anyways, the show was amazing and the album is nothing less then perfect. im in love with it. congrats on a classic. i wish you luck. and hopefully next summer youll be headlining like you hoped when you and i spoke. and hopefully you can finally come to miami so we can have a pool party and slumber party like you promised. lol. and i can take you to my tattoo artist. the band was awesome too. great job. and maybe one day you can guest vocal on my bands cd. hope everything is good and i hope you’re enjoying your tour. see you soon.
oh such torturous things…
=]
song of the moment?
definitely holy the sea.
question though–are the
bawaba brothers real (like they always can be seen, by everyone, at the sea) or just
spirits that guarded the sea and
only came out to take across
the two chosen when the
finally arrived?
not sure if that^^ made
any sense but ive been wondering about it…since they
seem, well so, mythical? lol
you deserve all the attention in the music community right now.
ps my a capella group will hopefully be doing the intermission
Thomas….I need you to help me out here…..I pre-orderd your album and I still havent got it yet. It would be great if you could use your awesome superpowers to get it to me a little faster. Thanks!
Hey thomas, i just started liking DURDEN. I don’t like it…
I love it. Just wondering though, what will your concerts be like? Will they be full on musicals with performances? OR like, just a show? I love your music and all the other great artists features on the album. good work.
(p.s. I love the panic reference. you guys both rock!)
thanks for the heads up on spin. looks good enough. i cant wait to see you at the troub. i have a midterm that night til 7. but not too far from the venue. i hope i can rush it over to see you, man. loving the entire album. keep it up and hope to see you! peace out
Thomas! I met you last night at Emo’s in Austin. My friend and I had the bitchin homemade Razia’s Shadow tees. You and I had a really nice discussion on your writing process and drumming. I just wanted to thank you so much for making my concert year. I was so excited to get to see my favorite band, and very honored to meet my biggest musical influence. I hope you enjoyed last night as much as I did! Thanks!
awesome, cant wait for the next podcast!
Oh yeah I was gonna ask you about the title of the album? Is Razia the name of the world?
I just saw that you were in Austin last night and literally cried that I missed it. Please come back sometime. You would have my undying love and gratitude.
@Camille: I think Razia is the mountain…. :3
Oh man, I just realized who your bassist is! I thought he looked familiar when I saw you guys playing the other night, but I figured it was just because he sorta reminded me of Shia LeBeouf… (umm, no offense? haha) Does he read these? If not, please tell him that I think his photography is awesome! SO awesome, really. I wish I had made the connection earlier so I could’ve told him so myself, but oh well…
Also, I think you should post that silverchair song here on your blog. Your music and theirs have such similar qualities that I bet a lot of your fans would like it.
I was blown away by how brilliant Razia’s Shadow is. Seriously, such an amazing album. I was wondering, are there any plans to make it into a movie or something like that? It would be so sick.
dude!!!!…..i have honestly never heard of this band before…….you have gained a fan in me, no doubt……i would love to know when this is going to be adapted into a movie or Dr. Horrible-type web show
GOOD. why this album hasn’t had the shit promoted out of it already, idek.
can’t wait for the new podcast!
oh and i’ve already transcribed the orchestral parts for the first three songs from the album, i hope that’s not a copyright violation, i only want to have them so i can press-gang my orchestra teacher into letting us play them next semester D:
seriously, the most incredible album i’ve ever heard. seriously. every time i want to give up my music comp. major because it sucks so much, i’ll listen to this album and be reminded of how awesome music is and what i’m striving toward. thanks!
lol
go spin circles for me :]
ilu guys.
Who is your bassist?
Thomas–
My name is Garret. I really must say that your musical will leave me spellbound for many decades to come. This album completed my lifelong search for my purpose. Anything I can get my hands on related to the plot, score, etc. will make me so elated, because when I grow up, I want to be the producer, casting director and lighting director of the stage musical Razia’s Shadow. I love it with all my heart, and I get the chills every time I think about it. I don’t think a film or anything less than an honest, raw stage production of this intricately spun masterpiece will do justice.
The bands and their members who helped craft this album are fantastic, but I think the baton should be passed on, for everyone’s sake. Open auditions for roles are the first step to the musical tour.
My mind is a myriad of ideas directed toward Razia’s Shadow. If you could ever take a few minutes of your day to make a phone call to me, do a video chat or anything of that nature, I’d love to share those ideas with you and talk stage production.
Thank you for your time. I pray to God that you’ll get the chance to read this and consider my destiny. I’ll hope you can contact me soon.
hey thomas. just got back from your show. you were really freakin’ amazing. oh and the rest of the band. wow. ive been a fan since your EP’s for years. i saw you a few times but you were busy talking to other people. and when you werent, you werent around. i had the green gatsbys shirt on. was right up in front. i wanted to say whats up and all that good stuff. it’s all good. next time i guess.
hope you dont think LA stinks coz they crowd was.. well not much of a huge crowd. it’s voting night and all that. so you gotta come back soon. peace out man
I absolutely fucking love this cd. Seriously. I haven’t been able to listen to, much less appreciate anything else, since I first listened to it. Thank you so much for creating this masterpiece!
thomas! i heard you guys sold 3000+!!! congratulations. now, i want to come on sunday. how can i get tix or in with the entourage. what do you think?
i mean i AM supposed to open.. with purple rain
Thomas,
Just bought the new album a few days ago. I’m already on my third time through it and I think it’s F’in awesome. It would be incredible if you could somehow get all of the characters together and perform this live. What a show that would be. Keep up the excellent musicianship.

garret,
get in touch with me.
-steph.
That was an absolutely beautiful album!
With a beautiful message. It has it all.
I really loved how complex the characters seemed, particularly Pallis.
But I do have a question about Anhura. After the world was reunited, did she have to adhere to her agreement with the Doctor?
That’s probably a stupid question, but you have me wondering.
Great article . Will definitely apply it to my site

I’m always reading about the “Great Apes.” What’s so great about them? How come we never hear about any “Paltry Apes”?

It’s interesting to find how challenging the content side is for some
Why do some owe money and others get a refund for their taxes?
Another word for “thesaurus” is Lexicon, vocabulary, glossary, phrase book, word list etc. Asians do not through hamburgers in their weddings hahaha.
Great article, lots of intersting things to digest. Very informative
How much money does the Treasury typically print?
Go isn’t a complete sentence. It is not even a clause on it’s own. We take it as such, because everyone says it.
Why is bra singular and panties plural?
Thank you very much for that superb article
