The Wait is Almost Over
Cool Stuff June 26th, 2006Some of you may remember the post I wrote about Ctrl Zed a few weeks ago, complete with album covers. Last night I received this press release about the new album.
The Wait Is Almost Over
(AP/Reuters)
Sources claim that pre-production/rehearsals have indeed begun on the highly-anticipated third album from the critically acclaimed, Grammy winning, chart topping and multi-platinum selling group, CTRL ZED.
Rumor has it the new album will be professionally recorded live in a real studio this time with actual audio engineers and also the possibility of some of the classics from their previous efforts being re-recorded in order to take advantage of this studio quality. Details are sketchy at this point but the release date is rumored to be sometime Fall 2006.
Unconfirmed early spy reports from sources in attendance of the first rehearsal claim “Locomotive”, “Batwing Pegasus”, “Food!”, “Now Hiring Idiots”, “The Ballad Of George Lucas”, “18 Charisma”, “All I Smell Is Snot”, “Miracle Poo”,”Sidekick Secretary” and “Too Evil For The Basement” to be among the new song titles, however the final track listing is unknown at this time. The album is expected to be among the band’s most evil work to date.
Fans will remember the days of substance abuse, failed marriages, rehab, litigation and multiple lawsuits over royalties that plagued the band for many years, delaying and complicating further releases of the band’s work.
It is also rumored that among other extravagent demands, the band has asked the record company for bowls of strictly red M&M’s with the letters REMOVED and even chairs made of only blue Lego.
Phone calls to the agents of CTRL ZED were not returned.

Where has our world come to, now we even are disturbed by the voices of annoyment and bad quality music!! ha… I admire you for the many projects you are engaged in and hope it works out. Personal note, if you want to make money in your life, I would focus on writing, i dont think your “album” will contribute much to your income:-) Your supporter in girl trials and fellow about to give up on girls roommate

Substance abuse? I don’t think snorting molasses counts, dude. (I will always remember with fondness the time we had to take you to the emergency room to get that straw unstuck from your nose.)
If it isn’t too much to ask, will you print a few lines from “The Ballad of George Lucas” here? I’d love to see them. Is the word meesa in it?

Sleep-talking roommate,
Thanks for dropping by. It makes me sad that you’ll support me through the “girl trials” but won’t support me in my music projects, especially when the music projects have more of a chance of panning out!
Tab,
For the “Ballad of George Lucas” we took the love lines between Anakin and Padme from Episodes I through III and put them together to make a song. So Mr. Lucas gets a writing credit on this album, which is pretty cool.
The chorus goes (to the Tatooine theme):
And yeah, that time with the straw and the molasses . . . yeah, that was good a time. Although, I think those doctors who treated me are still a little traumatized.

Man, when you list those lines together like that, it becomes painfully obvious how cliched they are.

The rest of the song sounds like that, except the line that goes. “Love can’t save you / only my new powers can do that!”
