BT &#8211; Every Other Way (buy this song)
Welcome back!  It&#8217;s been a long time since I actually updated the MSMOTD.  It was derailed initially because of the production and release of my album, and then continually postponed due to academic responsibilities. However, it is now back and will hopefully be updated regularly!
One of my [...]]]></description>

		<title>Updates and CD Signing/Performance</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Hey guys, just a quick update.  The CD has been selling really well, which is fantastic!  Thanks so much to everyone who&#8217;s given me such positive feedback on the album.  The original printing sold out in 2 days, and the latest shipment of another 1000 cds is coming in today.

		<title>New Album: Released, but someone stole my name!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Update: Looks like I&#8217;ll be keeping my artist name as Mons (since it is my actual name).  Hooray!
Well after many years, the new album is done, printed and available for sale.   I had a hugely successful album release over the weekend and sold almost all of the first printing of the cd.  I&#8217;m ecstatic at [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sample from the new album &#8211; Dreaming in Sepia</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Mons &#8211; Dreaming in Sepia (Album Sample)
I&#8217;m in the depths of the final preparations for my album release (October 31st!), but I thought I would throw up a short clip from one of the new songs on the album.  This is music inspired by a beautiful poem written by a friend of mine (which will [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Taste of the New Album</title>
		<description><![CDATA[To give you an idea of what I've been working on, I've included the (beta) album version of Dandelion at the top of the post.  It represents what I'm doing with the album, which will be a mix of re-recorded/re-mastered existing material that you may have listened to before, and some new material that you have not.  The original version of Dandelion was only about 2 minutes long, and an incomplete vision of the song.  A sketch if you will, as are many of the bits and pieces I post online.  The album versions are the complete vision, and so Dandelion is re-imagined in its full 6-minute length with a lot of new material and revision of the old material.]]></description>

Porcupine Tree &#8211; Lazarus (buy this song)
And through the whirling sentry drones of academic responsibility, guns blazing and engines a-fire, erupts the newest MSMOTD: the mighty Porcupine Tree!  Leaving assignments, readings and constructive musings as so much burning wreckage in its wake, it streaks into the sky and bursts into a light so dark [...]]]></description>

		<title>Modeselektor &#8211; The Dark Side Of The Sun</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Modeselektor is pretty hard to pin down, genre-wise.  They've been called everything from glitch-hop (you take that back!!) and IDM, to "bassbin-blowing techno hop dubstep core", whatever that means.  The name doesn't really matter though, as you bop along to their twitchy, stuttering, intricately detailed and dancy music.  They, Gernot Bronsert and Sebastian Szary of Germany, have an incredible amount of geeky, techy fun creating this music, and it shines through in the crazy glitchy editing, balls-out beats and quirky melodies.]]></description>

Amorphis &#8211; Towards And Against (buy this song)
There is so much good music coming out of Finland these days, especially in terms of melodic metal.  Bands like Nightwish, Stratovarius, HIM, Apocalyptica (rock/metal done by electric cello!), Children of Bodom, Turisas, Sonata Arctica etc etc.  It&#8217;s not limited to metal, as Finland also spawned ultra-famous [...]]]></description>

		<title>Swollen Members &#8211; Blackout</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Swollen Members, an underground hip-hop/rap group from Vancouver, Canada, have been releasing dark and brooding music for 10 years now.  Each of their albums has won best Rap recording at the Canadian Juno awards, and they are definitely the most successful Canadian rap outfit.  With lyrics that incorporate references to mythology and dexterous wordplay, Swollen Members is definitely worth checking out, even for those who don't normally enjoy rap/hip-hop.]]></description>
