It's taken awhile but i've slowly built up the fanbase here from basically me and Joel (sometimes Rigger), to a small fan club

no one really knows what's going on with IMe, it's an unofficial hiatus, and Jag is supposed to be editing the DVD

actually... I hate to tell you this, but about a week ago I heard one of the guys from Edge 102 (I think it was the Brother) saying that the band is all but done. I'm hoping he's wrong, but it's not sounding so good. That last epic concert they did was probably their last one as I Mother Earth. :( man, I hope the DVD will still be released!

I think Sean said that Jag (and others?) is working on producing the DVD himself. IME seems like the kind of band that would do anything to get this out to their fans...

I bought Blue Green Orange today. Haven't listened to it yet, but I can't wait!

I love the booklet for this album. So original. I got the green one.

I remember seeing his video years ago, but I don't remember much.

Stay away from Edwin and the Pressure. *shudder* (well, at least their single was worth a shudder).

Hehe, I just realized that I've been wanting to ask where the IME board actually is! Okay, well, here it goes: Where is this IME board? (Thanks for reminding me, Rob!)
"if the nuremberg trials were applied to us foreign policy, every us president since 1945 would have been hanged." noam chomsky.

...and this is me hanging on / i'd burn our initials in the sun if it would shine / anxiety chokes me like razor wire / if hate's in your heart man, you'll take what you're given / wake up / i'm not the only one / it's never goodbye / go ahead and play dead / if everyone's a casualty, then take your time, there ain't no trouble / these wounds they will not heal / ambition can be a tricky thing / what the hell do i know about rape anyway? / this is not what i hoped for / ain't it so weird how it makes you a weapon / who will be there to tell me how stupid i am? / those living for death will die by their own hand / and it's me that I am spying on / pick up the pieces and live with the stars / hurry up and wait / things have never been so swell / they're always the ones who slowly drift / be great / ...and this is my world.

go to imenation.com, as for the IME board i'm Clumsyboy (like i used to be here)

and about edwin, his stuff is't as deep as IME but another spin aorund the sun was a decent album with a few really good songs, it's in the same vein as Scenerey was. Edwin and the pressure......meh there's a few good songs but it's like edwin lost quality control

Are the albums available in America? I checked Borders and my local record store. The record store claimed there was no such band, and Borders came up with three of their albums and claimed they had all stopped being made.
I just wanna get out,
Stuck inside of this.
Waiting for something else,
