<p>So I've finally decided my new CD from this year is "good enough" to start sharing with the outside world, sending for reviews, etc.&nbsp; I'm uploading a couple of songs to the player here - if you want to check out the rest of the album, available for pay-what-you-want, head over to <a href="http://synapticdisturbance.bandcamp.com/">BandCamp</a>!</p>

<p><img src="http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y300/TJGcrush/Social%20Parasite/Metaltextbanner5.jpg" alt="" width="529" height="161" /></p><p>So I figured I would take a minute to let everyone know what has been going on. Other than working my butt off, I have joined up with a band in my area. The band is <a title="Social Parasite web site" href="http://socialparasite.webs.com" target="_blank">Social Parasite</a>, and we are a 90's tribute band as of right now. I hope that down the road we will start writing our own material. I have uploaded many new photos, and graphic art that I think you may get a kick out of. Please sign the band guestbook, so I can get an idea of who has been there. Thanks</p><p style="text-align: right;">Tommy Gardner</p><p style="text-align: left;"><img src="http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y300/TJGcrush/Social%20Parasite/smallsppromo.jpg" alt="" width="539" height="307" />&nbsp;</p>

<p><span style="font-size: medium;">How is everyone doing with the Same Song Title Madness?? I actually started working on one today so I hope to have one done! If you are working on this, please upload your song and use a song genre of "SSTM June 2010". This way we can track the songs! I am also going to put a chart on the main page like the New Song List that us currently there.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">I Hope to see some songs up there soon!!</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Dazed</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p>
