Definitely looking forward to the next album! If it comes out in 2010, then it will be five straight years that DGD have released one album per year.

@crackerthesaint: bands with good basslines: !!!/chk chk chk (check out the albums "myth takes" and "louden up now." they were definitely an influence on "dont tell dave." i'd also check out "mothership connection" by parliament, straight FUNK with some of the sickest basslines. i'd also recommend any albums by the mars volta, they tend to have lots of sick basslines. radiohead actually has a lot of really sick basslines on their last few releases. @radardetector: i doubt that will be turned into a real song since that's just a joke song. we may have a reggae part on the new album, but it will surely be a lot cooler. we're more fans of darker reggae and that little jam we do is the epitome of happy reggae, haha, super major key. we tend to enjoy the more experiment dark dub-ish styles of reggae. definitely hoping to throw in some curve balls on this new album, whenever the hell we get to writing it! i promise it wont be what you expect, but it will be everything you need.

@Zac: Yeah, I've seen the video and I was pretty impressed. :) I know it's difficult to condense it down to a certain number of songs and you've always gotta cut some of the fan favorites, so I guess it has to take the axe. I love the reggae breakdown. Can't wait to see you guys live for the first time, whenever that is.

yoeah, maybe youre right. but I guess it comes down to preferences.. german food may not be the best, just to point out one example, but they always fulfilled my vegan needs and all that. being on tour isnt always easy for me. but also belgium and holland were at least satisfying to me. but I understand, that its sometimes hard for americans here. they're used to other stuff.
