The Cult

[Falcon]

An update via The Cult's twiiter:

"Tracking , for those of you with an insight to recording we are in the labor stages of putting the layers down , just the right amount of texture to make these songs resonate think Love x The Cult (94) + Now + Goss ."

This is grain of salt stuff for me, the eponymous The Cult (94) album isn't one of my favorites...

[Axlfanatic]

yeah that album sucked!

yeah that album sucked!

Too much Ian, not enough Billy.

3 songs I can still listen to - "Star", "Gone" and "Coming Down"...

And yes, I find the photo quite offensive - although maybe not as offensive as the following, notice the footwear on BD....

Just the usual Brit abroad

First bit of sunshine and the preposterous apparel comes out.

Cult touring guitarist Mike Dimkich has entered the twitter world @michaeljdimkich - he's an extremely witty/sacastic guy, very much worth a follow if you're into such things as the twitter..

This is from his Twitter yesterday. He speaks the truth.

6:23am is far too early to be subjected to Sting in any of his various godawful incarnations. Andy Summers was a fairly awful guitarist BTW

Mike's been on a roll lately, one of a few he's hammered of late.

It seems as if full episodes only go a couple of days back unfortunately - looks like it expired today.

Apparently Cult 2nd guitarist Mike Dimkich has been named one of Mens Health magazine Top 10 Men of the Year last year, pretty cool.

" 7. Mike Dimkich
 
Who He Is: A guitarist for Brit post-punkers, The Cult, since 1993.
 
Why He?s On This List: The combination of Britain, punk music, and the 1990s doesn?t exactly sound like it equals health spas and bottled water. But Dimkich managed to use his time touring the world to become an ultra-marathoner, running and cycling while other guys in bands were off celebrating debauchery and watching their bodies deteriorate in front of their eyes. The Cult rocks, but their guitarist rolls.

"Listening to Ian & Billy chat about the new album. Just picked up the unmixed version and going to have a listen! This is very exciting"

I don't know if I would be so quick to dismiss the footwear.  It looked like he was wearing it in a mall.

By no means will the footwear be dismissed, oh no - never I say.

Damn, must be nice.

I've seen BD play the original Falcon used to record the entire Love record twice, both times on 2006's Return to Wild tour - it's yellowed with age, quite a majestic sight.

A bit more from The Cult's twitter, sounds like IA is happy with the way things are going in the studio...

"Songs being tightened up , the final stretch before mixing , this album is turning into a monster"

[Falcon]

A lil teaser from AJ's twitter...

"The Cult has some pretty amazing news! I can't wait for the announcement x x x x !"
