Underoath are back in the U.S. after their tour around the world. Click here or below to read the rest of the update from Tim including a list he and Grant made of the TV Shows to not waste you time on.
Home, Sweet Home.
WOW! I’m back in the U.S. of A.!!!!! We’ve been touring around the world for the past month or so and have seen so many crazy new things! We toured South Africa for the first time ever and it was an amazing place. The people were all great and the scenery was beautiful. We didn’t sleep much, but looking back it was all worth it. I’m in Hawaii now and have been relaxing for the last day. Chris, Grant, Josiah and I all rented scooters and drove around Oahu all day yesterday. We found this super cool inlet and went swimming for a bit, and then had a wonderful dinner. It was the first time all tour I’ve just felt relaxed. It was actually our first real day off all tour. Well deserved.
So we play Pipeline Cafe tonight and then it’s home tomorrow! I’m excited to see my wife for a few days of peace, but I can’t really rest too long, because Thursday, Ryan and I are going to be shooting the new fall tour projection. I’m really excited about it. The entire set is going to be dealing with the end of the world and humanity kind of ending itself. A lot of the new lyrics touch on these issues in different ways, and once I saw the set list, it just made sense to tie it all in visually. I’m going to try and take pictures and update the site so you guys can keep up with the production of it.
I also just finished producing the new Almost e.p., which turned out better than I expected. Aaron wanted to record it on off days in different studios and hotel rooms on Mayhem, so we did. it was the best use of free time ever. It’s crazy to think we made a whole record in between shows.
In other news, Grant and I were flipping through the channels today in our hotel room and came across this new MTV show called, “Paris Hilton’s: My New BFF”. We’ve officially lost all respect and dignity in ourselves and fellow human beings. When did “Music Television” become about superficial socialite b.s.? I guess it’s been this way for about 10 ears but it just struck the official chord in me just this morning. With this I present to you the, Tim, Grant and Chris’s “top shows never to watch, unless you aspire to become mindless and lose a grasp on all reality, and in turn wish to be socially corroded from the inside out….congratulations, you are an official zombie incapable of seeing our world for what it is” list:
Paris Hilton’s BFF
Gossip Girl

O.C.

This is just the start. It’s your turn readers. The list must go on. Think of all the paintings that could be painted, or songs that could be written and sung, or films shot in the hours upon hours we are hypnotized by watching “famous” people live their lives so unfortunately. The very audiences these shows target are the same people that can change the world. It’s your call. Much love.
Timmy
