Our Lunar Activities Review
here is a recent review of our our friends our lunar activities. check it out. these guys are on the up and coming
it turns out i wasn’t able to make it to barcelona this week, as travis and i were called back into the studio to record a song for a movie. more details on that later on.
also, i just heard the second round of mixes of the socratic record, and they sound awesome. i truly cannot wait for this record to come out. i hope you all enjoy it as much as i do. this is quickly becoming one of my favorite records of 2008, and not just because i produced it. the band wrote an amazing record. very different from anything else out there right now. check it out when it’s released.
there is a lot more production work on the horizon, and a lot more songwriting. cool. bring the awesome.

Hey Mark, big fan, love all your stuff, I know you get that a lot but I’m glad to hear you guys are busy writing. I can’t wait to hear the new music. I’m a singer in a band, All To Blame, and I’d love to hear any advice you have. I liked what you did with Our Lunar Activities so if you have any pointers or other advice to bands trying to make it out there I’d love to here from you. Thanks man, I appreciate it.

P.S. if there’s some other way to email you or something let me know, as far as I know this is the only way

January 22nd, 2008 at 2:42 am
Mark, we need having you in Spain. My dream was listening to Blink in a concert, it couldn’t be, but I hope you reckon this country in your next European Tour. People in here love your music, no matter they don’t understand it hehe. Bye!
January 23rd, 2008 at 12:03 am
ajaja yeahh socratic are really cool!
you are a great producer..=)

=)
kisses for u!
waiting for next +44 album!!
i’m so happy!
=)
January 23rd, 2008 at 1:35 pm
hey mark, how you doing?
im from inverness, scotland, i saw our lunar activities live, and although they were good, they were nowhere near as good as the headliner that night, a small british band called the jyrojets (mentioned in the review) the funny thing about ola though is that when i was watching them i kept thinking there bass player was trying to look and act like you. i nearly keeled over when i fouond out who was producing their album! you’ve had an effect on him for sure. mock him relentlessely when you next see him for me!!
January 23rd, 2008 at 8:38 pm
PODCASSST PLEASSEE IM DYINGGGGGGGGG
January 24th, 2008 at 1:51 am

January 24th, 2008 at 3:26 am
Oi, Mark, LISTEN TO MY BAND!!
January 24th, 2008 at 2:23 pm
+44 seems to be over. it’s ridiculous how they abandon their fans and supporters.
im outta here.
January 24th, 2008 at 4:57 pm
Ok…. I will check your blog EVERYDAY!
can’t believe you nearly made it to my city (where u never came to play, i even started an online petition for Blink and another one for Plus44), i would have died just to think you actually had come to Barcelona and i had no idea about it!
Of course you are always welcomed to come to Barcelona, i’m sure me and my friends would have absolutely no problem to guide you around!!!
wanna hear your new music soon!!!!
January 24th, 2008 at 8:17 pm

I love our lunar activities but everyone listen to their song it comes in waves then listen to orange crush by REM and notice how the vocals follow the same melody pattern during the chorus..just an interesting coincidence. the songs remind me of one another.
April 15th, 2008 at 8:32 am
I will definetly be checking out the new Socratic record when it comes out on May 6th!
