9 Songs.
That is how many new songs I have
finished. It feels like a lot..but its not.
Keep working!

How is everyone? I had an amazing week
We got to go up to Whistler and perform
on MOD which was so much fun.
Who saw it? What'd you think?
If you didn't see it I believe its online.

I also planned my guitar amp setup all
week. I'm gonna be switching out everything
I have for totally different stuff!
Its kind of fun :P

I also had one of the best weeks at the
gym ever. It was one of those moments
when you take everything to the next
level. I'm in quite alot of pain as a result
but its a love hate thing :P

I have a question for you guys. What is
your favorite duet song of ALL TIME?
As old or as new as you want.

I think I got mine but I wanna see what
you guys say first :P
Oh and guess what..I'm posting the Bungee
Video right now so check up later today on
The Latency Youtube account.

loved her :P So I`m gonna peace out now

On lovers lane where this all began

AYO Technology

First things first.

We had a truly tragic start to the Olympics
here in Vancouver yesterday when a
Georgian luge athlete died in training. I just
want to send my condolences out to his
family, friends and teammates.

Did anybody get a chance to watch the
opening ceremonies?

I thought they were quite well done.
Except for the malfunction during the torch
lighting..not gonna lie I was laughing pretty
hard when the torches werent coming out.

Anyhoo how was everyones week? Just wanna
say thank you to everyone who came out
to watch us play at Coquitlam Centre on
Thursday. It was alot of fun!

So now I'm gonna go on a bit of a rant.

The other day I was at the movies. I'm
in line to buy my tickets and I see this
group of about 6 or 7 kids walk in. At first
I thought it was weird because none of them
were speaking to each other then I realized
the reason for that is because every single
one of them has Ipod headphones in. So
immediately I figure they must not be
together then UNTIL one of them pops
out an earphone, points to which movie
they wanna see all 6 of them nod approval
and he sticks the headphone back in.
That means..that these kids are here
together as a group seeing a movie..but
they're all listening to IPODS with both
ears in.

Now I'm not trying to judge anybody here
but is that not the most disconnected,
sad picture of the world we live in right
now. I immediately got reminded of the
movie "Wall-E" and that scared me.
Direct Human to Human interaction seems
to be becoming less and less popular
and to be honest thats scary. I remember
just a few years ago when I was a little
younger we didn't call people to hang out,
we didn't text them, we walked over to
their house and knocked on the door!

Call me an old fashioned pessimist but
I can't endorse it. We're slowly destroying
every connection we ever had with this
planet, with each other, and turning into
ghosts of ourselves.

I'm sure this will turn into a song at some
point, possibly called "Ghost Town",
which I just pulled out of nothin but isnt
a bad title. Anyway that was my rant
for the day.

Speaking of songs I need to recruit you
and all your friends on a mission. If you
guys didn't know The Latency just put
out a new single titled "Fork In The Road".
Much Music and MuchMore Music have
both added the video for it, and it has been
sent to radio across Canada.

I need you and your friends to request
like you've never requested anything
in your life! And if they don't play it
use Jedi Mind Tricks on them..
"You will play this song" haha.

Anybody can request the vid on Much
or MuchMore but for the radio stations
make sure its in your area. So if you live
in Toronto, request on a Toronto station
like Chum. If you live in Vancouver,
request on a Vancouver station like Virgin
etc etc and so on and so forth.

If you guys could help us out we would
appreciate it very very much. Anyone
who has already been requesting thank you
so much you are awesome.

Thats it for me guys oh and I promise
the Bungee Jump video is going up real soon
I've been slacking I know.

Until next week friends!

I'm a Geek.

It seems like I'm forming a bad habit of sleeping
in every Saturday. The good old noon wakeup!

Well lets talk about the week! Fork In The Road debuted
on Tuesday which was awesome. You guys made
The Latency the #1 trending topic on Twitter in Canada
by tuning in to our Ustream party so thank you
all SO much :) There is only 2 things left to do.
1. Check out the music video which should be hitting
MuchMusic next week.
2. Request, Request, Request like MADDD!
I think that between Us and you guys...we could
probably take over the world. Kinda like
Pinky and the Brain. The Latency would
be Pinky, you guys would be The Brain!

NARF!!!!!!!

Great now I have that theme song stuck
in my head. So heres a fun fact about myself.
I like The Lord of The Rings...ALOT.
Its my favorite Book/Movie/Story. Now this past
week I've been re-watching the movies and
I stumbled upon this monologue that one of
the characters gives. Even if you're not a
fan of the story I think this monologue can
give everyone something to think about.
I know it definitely made me think
pretty hard. So check it out!
