WELCOME TO A WHOLE NEW WORLD

Hello old friends, or anyone bothering to check out this page. We're trying out a new format for all Fantastic Ooze-related Internet matters. As anyone keeping up with us might have noticed, we tended to update our regular website about once a year at best. It always looked good, but none of the information on it was ever remotely up to date or accurate. Since this blog thing is easy enough that even I can do it, we've opted to use this blog as our primary information site. The old site is going to be revamped too, but more as a listening/general amusement page that will be linked to from here and our myspace page.

So beyond just trying to kick off this site, we've fortunately got some bona fide exciting news to report on this page too. As previously noted, we've recently welcomed Andy "Skinny" Friedman and Alodie "SexuAlodie" Larson to the crew on drums and vocals/bass/keyboards, respectively. We'll go ahead and officially welcome yet another newcomer to The Ooze, as Gavin "stupid band nickname to be determined" Haag has joined us on additional drums and percussion. He moved up here to the big beastly city from San Francisco, where he played with the band Elephone and still plays on a long distance sorta basis with The Black. While I'm linking to band members' other high quality stuff I should point you toward the official Skinny Friedman page for his DJ'ing work. He also spins with Phillie-based DJ crew Philadelphyinz. We'll start plugging his DJ nights so our New York friends can come shake dey asses to his turntable masterwork along with us next time.

As we've also mentioned before, old friend Mario Pena (aka Mario Rock) is now up kicking it in The Ooze Palace in Brooklyn. He'll be providing The Vibe to our grooves. As everyone knows, when Mario's in the room, the vibe is usually right. Plus, I finally have someone to talk basketball with (Lemme get a quick "GO SPURS GO!" out there before he starts posting on here and feeding you Houston Rockets propaganda. Lemme also establish a permanent response of "look at the standings" to any shit that may be talked in this regard).

So yeah, welcome to The Fantastic Ooze blog. This WILL be updated MUCH more regularly than any site we've had in the past, so keep checking us out. And we'll let you know when the old site has been freshly decorated and stocked with quality pictures, songs and random shit for your enjoyment.

Stay rugged and rough,

Professa D-Train
