Click here and follow along. Also, a big shout out to our good friend Jerry Kranitz who has turned a 10-year labor of love into his first book, "Cassette Culture -- Homemade Music and the Creative Spirit in the Pre-Internet Age", recently released on the esteemed German label, VOD Records. From the press release: "The book takes a social history/analytical approach to the growth of the global cassette culture/homemade music network that sprouted and flourished from the post-punk era through the early 1990s. The author explores how the participants communicated, traded, collaborated, and set up cottage industry labels to distribute their work. A long-overdue study of this pivotal yet less than comprehensively documented chapter in the post-punk and 20th century independent arts movement stories." It's 320 pages and includes a 2CD set (almost 160 minutes) of wild underground music from key artists of the DIY movement. Way to go Jerry, what an amazing accomplishment! You rawk! Check it out. 10.15.20 Greetings everyone, we hope all of you are staying well and being safe. We've been plugging away as usual, and it's time to start catching up on the latest happenings in Floorianland. Hard to believe it's been 16 years since we released our first album, and now #5 is being mastered and almost ready to go! We'll let you know the release date very soon, so stay tuned. It's been a wondrous voyage so far, and we hope you'll savor the latest fruits of our labor. In the meantime, check out a couple of Floorian-related projects which John and Larry have been involved with the past couple of years: Manos (experimental rock) and Soma Flux (dark ambient/power electronics). Dig it! https://manostheband.bandcamp.com/releases https://somaflux.bandcamp.com/ 4.6.19 COLUMBUS, OHIO -- In an April 1 press release announcing plans to unleash their highly anticipated 5th album in 2019, Columbus psychedelic rockers Floorian have expressed regret that the release could hit the streets around the same time as the new album from experi-metal titans Tool, and likely steal some of their thunder -- and sales. "It's too bad, but it is simply unavoidable", said a spokesperson for Floorian's vast marketing team, adding that Floorian band members have no ill-will toward Tool and are sure that Tool will land on their feet despite the timing faux pas. Tool's label and management have yet to respond to the news, although band members have already chimed in. Lead singer Maynard James Keenan reacted with a single-word tweet, "who?". When guitarist Adam Jones and drummer Danny Carey were asked about the timing of the release during an interview, they responded in unison, "who?". And bass player Justin Chancellor replied to our email inquiry, saying, "yeah, those guys rock, but who cares?". In a related development, a handful of internet news outlets have reported Tool's plans for an upcoming tour with The Who and some guy named Florian filling in on drums.
