February 20, 2008 We're Baaaaaack! Late nights, lots of coffee (so much that we're eating the beans raw), a few dozen 5 Hour Energy shots... Praying, chanting, and multiple induced trances... Geeks, techs, swamis, and shamans.... and finally something worked - we switched hosting services.  No, we don't know what was wrong, nor to we care.  MoWiz is back, and we've got plenty to report over the past 30 days.  Coming right up!
January 8, 2008 Holy Smokes! Have you previewed the latest tracks from NCNC?  If not, you're missing out!  The first track, a prelude, features a unique song structure and some of the most passionate Evans background vocals ever heard!  The second track, the title track, is a midtempo number in the best TFM tradition.  New tunes are being previewed nightly for the next few nights.  Head over to MySpace.com/pleasurado for a full listen!
January 3, 2008 NEW ALBUM PREVIEW BEGINS ON JANUARY 5! The forthcoming album/opera by The Floating Men, "No Clocks, No Calendars, Act I,” will debut on the "NC, NC" Myspace page as a serial beginning January 5.  Each evening, between 9:00 pm and midnight Central Standard Time (US), a new song will be posted along with corresponding passages from the annotated libretto in the blog area.  The songs will be posted in order so listeners can follow along as the story unfolds. The opera, part sex farce, part love story, and part supernatural chiller, is set on sea island off the coast of South Carolina, where a liberated, enlightened hippie enclave interacts warmly with the local culture, dominated by the Afro-Caribbean descendants of slaves. The opera celebrates Low Country heritage and diversity, champions sexual liberties and explores the dark consequences when basic human rights are withheld.

July 5, 2008 HELP CREATE THE NEXT TFM ALBUM COVER The next Floating Men album, No Clocks No Calendars, is set for a late 2008 release - and you can help design the album cover!  Here are the details, direct from Floatingland Central:
	Step 1:  Upload your entries to "The Floating Men Cover Art From Hell" group on Flickr. Step 2:  Wait and see if your submission wins. Step 3:  Get $200 if your photo is selected for the cover. Step 4:  Get $25 if your photo is selected as a supplemental image.
What images to send?  According to Holmes, "Its your first summer away from home and all the world's a beach.  Classes don't start until after Labor Day, which seems like a lifetime away.  Young love, innocence, lust and a hunger for new adventures glow inside you and tingle on the end of your skin.  But the shadows stir with unsettling omens of loss, heartbreak, ghosts, evil spirits, Gullah legends, and murder. . . Photographs, paintings, drawings, etc. are all welcome.  Yellowed polaroids and other dated media are especially encouraged."  Click here for more.

The bribes have been paid (cash, liquor and free copies of Pleasurado!), and the border patrol will be letting Scot Evans back in the country!  It looks like there will be three new chances for you to get your TFM full-band fix this year.  Nashvegas, you're first - clear the calendar on July 26 and head down to the Basement.  Then its off to Eddie's Attic (Atlanta) on August 2, and Rhythm & Brews (Chattanooga) for the annual Labor Day Love Fest.  And if you can round up more cash, liquor and copies of Pleasurado!, maybe we'll be able to sneak Evans back into the country for more shows!
