You are an incredible person and I wish you nothing but the very best today and forever, Zim Zum! Happy Birthday! xo

Veteran rock/industrial drummer Martin Atkins, who has played with Ministry, Public Image Ltd. and Killing Joke, has compiled his 30-plus years of knowledge about how to survive on the road into a 530-page bible called "Tour: Smart ... and Break the Band." Due in September, the book has tips on everything from how to write contracts, pick tour vans and market yourself to making a guest list, decorating the stage, getting paid and what to do when your gear gets stolen. Among the contributors to the book are Steve Albini, Warped Tour founder Kevin Lyman, Henry Rollins and former Marilyn Manson guitarist Zim Zum.

"In the studio we can hear 10, 11, 12, 13... new songs back to back knowing that it will be at least a couple months before they are released in some form(though one or 2 might pop up on one of the sites) and we are simply excited about where things are with the music...." -ZZ of TPCS

The Pop Culture Suicides are recording and will return with live shows (with a new singer!) and the debut EP's in the coming months...(stay tuned as we will be posting pictures from the studio)

As most of you know there has always been a prolific amount of music coming from Zim Zum's "25/8" Studio and it's been a long, cold winter in Chicago...so brace yourself for a dizzying amount of music.

To kick things off in grand fashion, check out "Gravity" from Zim Zum at www.MySpace.com/ZimZum and www.MySpace.com/Pleistoscene
