Please consult this prior to asking any stupid questions, and feel free to post any album news in this thread. I'll make sure this post gets updated.

WHO:
Other than Brian, musicians featured on the album include Jeff Stryker, George Pritzker, and Marc Deriso. The Cosmic Drama has been recorded at Adam Lathrum's Barn Studios.

WHAT:
Brian says: '...it details my experiences of the last two years in harrowing detail which i hope makes you uncomfortable because when we feel uncomfortable we grow inside!' He has also said that he used Kurt Vonnegut's The Sirens of Titan as a divinatory text when writing the album.

WHEN:
August 4, 2009 (!!!)

TRACK LISTING:
1. That Mann
2. King Friend (The Showing of the Instruments)
3. They're Ready for Us to Come Home

6. YouTube the Clouds (Anything That Flies)

I will always remember
that I have put that comma
in, so you would not
be connected with anyone
but me, in the air at sea

I think the writing at the top is pretty lulzy as well.
