So I've had these for a while, but I've got enough now for a list. If you have any other ones feel free to add to them. I know lots of people know lots of things, so if there is any info you can give out in response to any of the questions feel free.

1. What happened to the animated beginning video?
2. Will it EVER be released, and if not is there any way parts of it could be seen?
3. Whats up with the album? How many songs? When will it be released? Tracks?
4. When will those of us in the U.S. get to see the "Million Ways" video.
5. Is the TAMWTSTB in fact the first "official" single from the new album?
6. What's up with the "reinstated" FIST team?

I know some of these have been brought up before, but as much as things change around here, I doubt the old posts are 100% correct.

1. The guy that was working on the animated video for the Beginning had a rather large family situation and was unable to complete it. Will it ever be finished? No idea.

2. I will see if he has some renders from it, and ask the Upper Management if they are cool with them being posted here.. but I'm not holding my breath.

3. The album has been turned in - I've no idea how many tracks. I'd suspect (note: suspect.. I've not been told a date) that a Fall release is likely.

4. You will get to see the Million Ways video once we get it all encoded and put online. Probably won't be too terribly long.

5. TAMWTSTB is the first single for the UK release - this does not mean that the US release will coincide with this song choice.

6. I have no additional information regarding the reinstated FIST.

Answers:

1. I believe it was stopped or abandoned, but I'm not positive. The work was undertaken by a third party for free and like many things in life, people get busy. Unfortunately this is an example of something we've "teased" around here that hasn't materialized.

2. Not sure.

3. The album has been fully mixed, at least I'm almost positive it has been. I don't think I can reveal any details until the label has made an official announcement. Like a lot of things with this band, things change from day to day. So a number and order I might know of today could have become invalid two weeks ago and I just don't know it. So well wait and see. It's release date is not set. Universal is looking at the best possible release for the album. I do think it's a safe bet to say the UK will get the album first. Hell, my speculation - September for a US release, August for a UK release. But don't hold me to it. Universal is strongly backing this band and as such they're not willing or wanting to just throw this album out to the wolves. They have a very high interest in making some money with it.

4. The "Million Ways" video was produced for use in the UK. The UK is much more singles-based, and the label likes to have a video to compliment the music. Hopefully, though, it'll get airplay here, but things are different with what songs will be "highlighted" here in the states, so the video might never have a true opportunity to be on the air. Rest assured, though, if anything, it'll be available on this site soon.

5. I'm too tired to figure out if you put too many initials here, but "The Way" is the official first single for the UK. I'm not sure what the first "single" will be for here. It won't be "The Way". "Million Ways" is the 2nd single for the UK.

6. Not sure.

You can still come to Peace Frog World HQ and view the Million Ways Video for $5... we'll just have to kick Carl out, I'm starting to feel guilty about him signing over whole paychecks.

Seriously though, anyone can come see it if they want. The effect is much better on a bigger screen.

Wow, thanks a million guys. . . Really, I know it was a lot of questions you prolly get all the time so thanks for typing it all out for me.

I'm happy to hear the part about Universal really backing the band. The Features might never become superstars, but I'm glad they'll at least get the chance to prove themselves to the public- or at least it sounds like they will.

And PF, I'd easily pay you $5 to see the vid...

pg. 1349 of the best selling Daiglenetics handbook:

The forum shall change, but all will remain the same. Do not succumb to the honey spewed words of the false prophet, for he has arrived.

Here are my "Features History" questions:

1. When (and how) did Rory become involved with the band?
2. When did the band play on a show on Thunder 94?

Soybean and sunflower futures, that is. Rory's a playa. He's diversified as shit.

That was a prediction. I'm wondering who currently blows money on smack and hoes.
