We still exist

Seriously, we do. I have no idea if anyone besides us read this (it might just even be me) but I'm gonna do it anyway.
Musically I think we're about to go in about fifty different directions, I have two songs more or less ready that are fully weird but fully great at the same time. Much more in the vein of Mastermind...than the other songs, except even less heavy/hardcore. I want to expand on the disco beats and glitchy drum patterns we touched on in that song and try to come up with something fairly unique that people will come to think of as the Abandoner "sound".
We've done some new photos but we're getting some fancier newer ones soon at which point we'll be getting a new myspace up, our merch should finally get sorted, we'll take ourselves seriously enough to start booking regular shows and what I'd really like to do is get the two aforementioned songs recorded and put them out as some kind of self released single. Part of me wants to do it on vinyl with maybe a CD included with each or some kind of download code. Is that silly? Super limited vinyl is pretty fucking cool, as is hand numbering stuff.
Anyway, this is probably all news to the rest of the band let alone anyone who's stumbled across this blog, so i'll call it a day there.
PLAYLIST:
Phoenix - 1901
Eels - Lilac Breeze
Sonic Youth - literally anything on Eternal, it's like being wrapped up in a warm fuzzy sheet
Enter Shikari - Same with Common Dreads, I can't get over how good it is.
