In this age of modern technology as humans continue to disconnect to one another by using technology to replace actual human interaction we find ourselves longing for the next source of instant gratification and missing opportunities to connect with real people. Yet we have convinced ourselves that being on these boxes of wires is real. There really isn’t much debate on that, its a screen with a box of wires. Do you remember when there were only phones at home? Those were the days when driving was safer because some 14 year old girl wasn’t going 70 miles an hour down Central Avenue while text messaging about the latest Hannah Montana album and the drama that happened at lunch while she ate cheetos and drank apple juice.

There was a time when strangers seemed to care more, when people were paying attention to one another rather than their phones and their computers, there was a greater sense of community. I miss those days, yet find myself enthralled and overwhelmed by all of the new shit we come up with daily. Even as I type this I chuckle at myself for communicating through this medium, I wish I could look in your eyes and speak to you and hear your response rather then hoping this translates in some way. It is fascinating to watch us fumble over one another for the latest and greatest box of wires. Someday the batteries will burn out, the satellites will fail and technology will die leaving us to panic and reinvent ourselves and our minds again. I am longing for that day, it used to be so fucking simple and inevitably will be again someday.

We have recorded the base tracks for Pistol Star and it looks as though we will have 8 new songs to share with you in 2010. With topics ranging from drunken Mexican escapades to the most finite forms of energy that bind the entire universe together. Everything is matter and a matter of perspective. Joel is going to record the vocal tracks after the new year and we are anticipating a spring release. In the interim moments between now and then enjoy your holiday celebration regardless of what you conceive God or Love to be. We are all made from the same atoms, the same energy and the same source. So however you define it or don’t, be merry and enjoy your existence.

Happy Holiday from your friends and family of SuperGiant

LOVE is all there is.
