BCM CD news
Last night Eric, Steve, Newman and I had a conference call regarding the upcoming BCM CD. The major topic of conversation: what to call the album and what to put on the cover. This has been a heated debate for months now, and we all decided that we were going to settle it before we hung up the phone. After much discussion, we agreed on an artist to do the cover art -- Ian Simmons. Ian's pen-and-ink technique is really, really awesome -- dark, moody, and unbelievably detailed. Ian had done a rough sketch of a cover concept that we never would've dreamed up in a million years, but it got all four of us really excited. So once we'd settled on Ian's cover art, we decided to base the title off of that. This simplified things considerably, and in short order, we came up with a new title that everyone liked.
Coming December 2004: BCM - "MEN OF INDUSTRY"

I like it! Great photo, and I think the title is a good move.
The title would initially lead me to expect a CD full of brake drums and factory sounds (I'm simple), but even knowing that's not the case, it's a really good title. Serious without being stuffy, and also fun without being self-consciously "quirky."
I can't imagine coming up with something that all four of you could agree on. Congrats! Can't wait to hear it.
Now go add in some factory noise overdubs. I've always thought that "Moon By Night" needed an anvil chorus. That would R-O-C-K.
