Jams? God no

Actually, I'm attending to Älymystö "band camp", which will take the whole weekend. Hehe, we'll have to decide jams about two weeks earlier

Windom Pearl · March 5th, 2008, 07:19 AM

Fuck me. There will actually honestly truely madly deeply be rehearsals. Jams. Whatever. The first jams with the new lineup. This is an outrage. I demand satisfaction.

I'll try to get sick before sunday..

I can give you an arsebollockscancer tonight so you don´t have to go.

Nice jams today. We actually got a few riffs made. The band played very tight together, so don't worry about the new lineup.

Windom Pearl · March 9th, 2008, 06:38 PM

My throat feels like fucking sandpaper

The previous session of serious growling was in november I think.

I think today was very touching in a number of ways. I'd tell more, but I don't want to. Let's just say that great things are on the way!

Galexia · March 18th, 2008, 02:42 AM

I'm fuckin' pumped for this shit!

Marko! Check your email dude!!!!!!!

Windom Pearl · March 25th, 2008, 06:50 AM

Taking it easy here

Windom Pearl · April 20th, 2008, 02:26 PM

We've had occasional jams by altering line-ups and today me and Pekka listened the recordings through and handpicked some of the best parts for further development. The sound quality was generally too for publishing, but the ideas come through just fine.

pekka · May 10th, 2008, 01:19 PM

Ostin kontran, perkele.

And the same in english: tjugo kilo tursk aer mycket tursk.

Kuules koloppi!

Son poka hyvä jos otatta harput ja konthrat käyttöön nii loppuu se saatanalline ryttyyttämine ja helevetinkoneitte möyryntä.

Ekä siinä poka muuta mutta jossei se meteli lopu nii meijä Jaramo tulee ja katkkoo sulta polovet! Polovet sulta katkkkkoo. Mulukku. Nii se sinnuu hivahuttaa, hivahuttaa nii notta ikäs tiiät.

Ekä poka millää hyvällä.

T. Alakerran pappa

PS. Ja jos toivoo soppii ni voisitta koko perekeleen pumppu enämpi soittaa semmosta Junkkarise Erkin tyylistä. Rupee meijä Hilikkaakin riapoon se iänikune ryttyyttämine. Että notta kutta saatanata rallaa.

Windom Pearl · May 15th, 2008, 04:12 AM

This era of Farmakon seems to circle around the theme of getting old and fat.

We made a song, and although I've already forgotten most of it, it is a damn fine piece of... say... "alternative metal"! Tagwords "pseudodeath", "funk metal", "faith no more-chorus".

We've (or.. maybe I've been the only one with this issue all the time) got through the phase of trying to create art. Now it's just hanging out with friends, playing rock and drinking a few beers. As it should be. A revelation. For years I've been sidetracked by all kinds of shite.

I'm not old & fat. The teen girls still adore me.

Rusty · June 13th, 2008, 05:26 AM

So when's the album coming out?

Windom Pearl · June 13th, 2008, 03:46 PM

Thanks for thinking of us

We don't know, but we have something to base an assumption on: The only rehearsal we would have been able to have during the summer months would have been tomorrow, but Toni unfortunately had an incident with a hammer and some of his of-so-precious fingers.

Wait. There's no way to base an assumption on this

Anyhoo, the reason for not rehearsing is the schedules of us the middle-aged men. Mostly my fault though, as my duties as a summertime wedding singer take practically every weekend.

sangreal · June 18th, 2008, 11:44 PM

Hi Farmakon guys. Found "A Warm Glimpse" in a CD store in Australia a few years ago, listened to it all the time on the train. Robin was pretty good, but I think "A Warm Glimpse" suited my mood at the time perfectly. Its cool to see an awesome band having band dramas just like everyone else haha. Love the honesty too.

Windom Pearl · June 22nd, 2008, 04:27 PM

Thanks, sangreal! Well yeah, official statements for any band, ours included, are always such bullshit. "The band of year, the album of the year, the players of the year." There has to be overhyped salestalk even for the most mediocre stuff. That's fun in a way, but it's nice to have somewhere to look when searching for the more.. "earthly" level of things.

However, in that earthly sense Farmakon may not be the best band to look into. Usually bands rehearse and make lots of effort to get ahead. We don't. Haha. We never did. We tried, I suppose. Toni, feel free to comment, my memory has washed down the pub urinal! During the Glimpse writing era we tried to have 2 rehearsals a week, but my head just would't take it. Once a week maximum. And during the pre and post-Robin era it was about once in two weeks, or less. We played the songs and headed out as soon as possible.

Now that we actually enjoy the rehearsal situation, we don't have time for it. Feck!

Transparency will be online next week

.

14 tracks are done on our new project dude - Ill send the ones you'll record on next week bro!

also if you need any help with Syan, you know who to ask.

di ablopeth · July 28th, 2008, 11:39 PM

heard about you guys over at the Opeth forum. A Warm Glimpse was being compared to My Arms, Your Hearse. And I must say both albums were well worth the listen, cant wait for Syan!

Windom Pearl · September 5th, 2008, 04:57 AM

The summer is over and we're getting back to business!

DotNoir · September 7th, 2008, 06:46 AM

Yeah, right.

Windom Pearl · September 15th, 2008, 08:53 AM

Back in business! Two songs are ready for Syan.

Windom Pearl · October 11th, 2008, 04:56 AM

Currently it seems we're either too busy or too poor to do anything. Maybe something will happen around the time we turn 50.
