^ This tale of betrayal sounds like a lame Teen Nick movie. Man up. Stop bitching and write a song blasting this douchebag, then get revenge on him by making your own band that’s better.
Then, invite him into the band and string him along saying he’s talented blah blah only to then kick him to the curb right before your next show, dashing his fragile dreams of stardom. Curb stomp him so his teeth fucking explode out of his face in a red mess of splintered bone, then piss on the back his bleeding head drowning out the muffled sounds of his rasping against the concrete.
Then on stage call him out and say “so and so couldn’t be here with us tonight. He didn’t make the…cut” and remove his severed head from a bag a la Medusa and drop it into the horrified teeny bop audience.
Then sell the rights to Teen Nick for an Emo-Core summer miniseries.

The end of July thereabouts, if anyone needs more time then please let me know. Fourteen tracks are in so far. The artwork and packaging layout will be starting soon so I am excited about that.
Let me just say this after a lot of thinking and considering others opinions I have decided not to include the Baboon_3 track. Which btw I have not even heard yet.
I want to be fair about this whole thing, but if people start to want to pull their tracks out of the compilation then this is starting to be a drag and not as much fun anymore. I think it is for the best therefore not to include it.
Plus I have to consider Afra and prongs as a whole as the compilation is sort of representative of the musicians who post here. I would not want to put out something that would bring a lot of controversy or flak back to Afra.
just sorta bumping this track to keep it in everyone’s minds.
how is the art coming along though Chemmeat? i cant wait to see how this guy looks!
I’ve sent some ideas off to Simon to work with, he does amazing stuff so I have no doubt this will be something special. Its all a matter now of getting all the tracks in, figuring out the order, credits ect… The tracks will be hosted on archive.org in FLAC, wav, and mp3 formats so there will be a lot of choices to download depending on what you prefer. The cd artwork will be included as a pdf.
Once this progresses far enough I’ll talk to afra about creating the link page here on prongs.
Okay as we stand right now the comp is still hovering around a little over half the planned tracks submitted. Simon has sent over some artwork that looks really fantastic, so I think you guys will be surprised when it all comes together.
The bad news right now my father is in the hospital after I found him collapsed on the floor. He is not doing too good after having several previous strokes. So for right now I don’t know how much work I can put into the comp in the coming weeks.
For the time being all those who haven’t submitted a track just concentrate on finishing those. I’ll need an idea of what the final track listing/credits are going to be so I can send that to Simon.
Don’t even think about the comp. Just be there for him. We can wait, he needs you.
Thoughts and prayers, hope he pulls through it. If it gives you some optimism, my granddad last year had a heart attack and ended up comatose from the lack of oxygen to the brain. They gave him a less than 1% chance of survival.
He managed to regain consciousness, learnt to talk and walk again at the age of 77, and was back at work eventually.
But he kept smoking and died from lung cancer not long after. Thanks, nonno. [:/]
Nonetheless, I told that story so you know there’s always a chance he will pull through.
Thanks evil for the kind words, I am just glad that I got to him in time. He has been having a lot of tests done to find out what’s happening, but so far we just don’t know for sure.
My dad had a series of strokes about 13 years ago, and learned to walk, talk and even eventually drive again. He’s a very strong willed guy, a vietnam vet, and it’s tough seeing him like this. In recent months he’s started to slow down a lot and has gotten to where he cannot walk again. So now all I can do is wait and hope he pulls through this all right.
