happy new year, everyone!! finally it's 2006. as if we've all been waiting for 2006--is it really any different than 2005? well, i honestly hope it is because 2005 kinda sucked.

so, yeah, ok, i haven't been updating my blog. i have to admit i'm thinking seriously about just switching over to myspace. anyone think that's a good idea? something about blogger that bugs me.

but enough of that. the important thing is to let you know that we were in the studio here in LA this week recording Broken Leash for the 3-minute Ai-Land Chronicles pilot I'm shooting next weekend. we had a local band Nuda play with a great singer Skye (I think that's her name) on the vocals. i like their sound--the recording went pretty well. other than some piece of shit headphones and a long time waiting for wiring, things went off without a hitch. so today ben (aka b_nchant_d) and i were in the studio all day arranging the tracks, producing and adding in some new sound. i think (and hope) everyone will like the song. it's a funky combo of pop and hardcore. i think it will really work for the pilot well.

i shot some photos on heather's (that's Skye's real name) digital camera so i should be able to post soon. and next week during our green screen shoot i'll post again. then it's back to tokyo (finally).

so thx to those of you who have been e-mailing me lately. my next task is to reply. also, i have to get ben to post up the various Milky songs onto either the TP website or here on my site. or if i switch over to myspace, i'll do it there. (in particular, the initial D theme seems to be requested the most, along with anything from Princess Ai).

what's up w/ all of u? lmk!!

peace,
mlk (btw, monday is MLK day!!)
