However, the other day I had HaaRHT in the CD changer, and S.Y.L. came on with Dev's little toddler voice at the beginning. I don't know if it is just maternal instincts or what, but first I hear her go "awwww!" Then the music starts, and she starts to kind of dig it. In fact, after the song she said "That was a great song." Of any and all the Strapping/Dev songs I could have imagined her liking, never in a million years would I have imagined it being that one.
The moral? More babies. Deconstruction should be metal for the milfs. Hard music with the soft voices of infants and toddlers. There is an untapped market there. I smell potential. Smell potential, and hear "ka-ching!"
In all seriousness, right now the internet is the way to go as far as exposure goes. The fact that there are people who make a living off of their youtube videos is mind-boggling. It is a tool oozing with potential. However, getting the stuff online AND getting it seen are two different animals, and it may take quite a bit of time for anything to catch on. Whoever did the "Avatar" trailer set to "Supercrush!"on youtube had the right idea. With as popular as "Avatar" is, those just looking for stuff about the movie now have a chance at being exposed to Dev's music. That can mean thousands. Think that video right now has over 4000 views as is. Probably mostly Dev fans to begin with, but if there are any that weren't, any at all, that is still exposure. That is some amazing free advertising. That kind of stuff needs to happen more.
I have no doubt that the music will speak for itself once it is heard. After all, that is why all of us posters are here, right?
Keeping youtube in mind, I think there is huuuuge potential for ZIltoid as a recurring web show. Maybe throw it out to the fans out there, like "Hey, make your own Ziltoid puppet and do some funny shit." People could just film Ziltoid in weird-ass places doing weird-ass things, and post it on youtube. It may be a foot in the door to more exposure, though maybe a side door and not the front. Dev music would have to accompany every video, though.
Let the masses feast on the glory that is the mighty Ziltoid!!!
Just random thoughts. Carry on.

Tuska is beginning to flash yellow lits already at the tickets sale place, so i think that one will be sold out. Lot's and lot's of metal heads there to stand and watch in amazement at Ziltoid and DTB

No offense to any fans but Brad was Sublime and to try and replace him will be an utter failure
