We here at Eyeball Records are deeply saddened with the recent events that have led up to there not being any new TV shows. We understand that writers are on strike but we are just not willing to wait that much longer. SO here is what we are proposing to you, Hollywood:

Hire us, the Eyeball staff, to write your sitcoms, dramas and late night television shows. We will work anonymously and will take pride in being Hollywood scabs. I’ll tattoo it on my face. This is very important…trust me. We actually have one guy here who aspires to be a late night talk show host before he dies (and I honestly think he’d do a good job). Thanks to Tivo and DVR, we are familiar with most, if not all TV shows and could easily pick up where the show left off. Give us a shot. Remember when Major League Baseball went on strike and they hired those blue-collared assholes from the suburbs to play the games? That’s us. We want to be those guys. I can even play Charlie “Wild Thing” Sheen on that TV show where he wears Hawaiian shirts.

Please e-mail info@eyeballrecords.com if you are interested. TV is great. I need to know what happens next on Lost, even if I have to make it up myself.

So last night when I was shaving off all of my body hair and listening to old Toto records on vinyl I was brainstorming all sorts of ideas for pushing our bands out there in 2008. Then, as the razor slightly nicked my skin, I realized something… We’ve signed a bunch of bands and YOU DON’T KNOW YET. Well I’m not going to tell you who they are just yet… they’re soo good and the time must be right. So I came up with an idea to inform you of our recent signings and I proposed thie idea to everyone at our last staff meeting but nobody really liked the idea… Here it is anyway:

You come over to my place, I light some candles, cook you dinner, we drink a little red wine and after sharing a laugh together. I say “listen I need to talk to you about something”. The mood is right and I spill my guts, tell you everything. You weep tears of joy and then make sweet, sweet love to one another (and my “sweet, sweet love” I mean you buy the new records when they come out… or download them and buy some t-shirts or whatever).

Together you and I can conquer anything. All I ask is that you don’t cheat on me and that you respect the fact that I stay up until 6am some nights playing online Scrabble.

Here is a clue:

Actually… that isn’t much of a “clue”, it’s a clipping from the upcoming record layout of a new band! Just know to expect a lot of new updates very, very soon!  XOXO

Even though I work for a record label…I really, really like music. Because of that I listened to a lot of new, illegally downloaded music last year. Here is a list of ten records that I thought stood out as something special in 2007. Agree with any of them? Disagree? Let me know!
