BC: Thank you very kindly, thank you. We have some new songs that just came out recently on an, uh, EP called American Gothic. Has anyone heard of our EP? Yes. There is the power of our record company: one out of 80 people have heard of our EP, there you go. Heh heh. We have an album called Zeitgeist, have you heard of that? See? Who knows we actually have a new album out? That’s terrifying. Uh...heh heh heh, well, okay. About nine months ago we put out a new album. Neuwen album. Album neuwen. Heh heh, compact disc. Anyway.
