Steve Taylor recently had this interesting post on his Facebook page:
Dear Facebook Friends,
Sarah Gibson, the niece of legendary singer/songwriter Daniel Johnston, approached me six years ago about making a documentary with me as the subject.
I suggested she could do better.
She persisted. So…
…I agreed to loan her a box of dusty videotapes on two conditions:
1) I would have no creative or editorial input. She could do whatever she wanted as long as I didn’t have to be interviewed.
2) I required a signed Daniel Johnston t-shirt (like the one Kurt Cobain wore on the 1992 MTV Music Awards).She fulfilled both conditions, and the forty minute result of her six year labor of love is premiering Saturday night in Nashville. She’s given her film the cryptic title “Steve Taylor Is Not Dead,” which strikes me as presumptuous since we’re still five days out.
I’m not the one throwing this party, nor have I seen the final result. But the good people at Lipscomb University are kindly hosting the film’s premier this Saturday, November 12th at 7pm at Collins Alumni Auditorium on the Lipscomb campus. They’re even hosting a reception afterwards, which will give me a chance to thank you for coming (and give you a chance to mock my choice of stage attire over the last thirty years).
If this sounds like fun (or even if it doesn’t), please join us Saturday night.
Yours in self-aggrandizement,
Steve

Theo Obrastoff has released “Even Though I Walk” – a Christmas Rock Opera. Want to listen to samples or hear Theo himself talk more about this project? Head over to the Basement Tapes to listen to the most recent episode featuring this new album.
Want to hear a demo from the upcoming Kissing Strangers project by Dead Artist Syndrome? Steve has “Misery Babe” posted on his blog - straight from Brian Healy himself. This is an unmixed demo completely recorded by Healy himself – but it still rocks. See the blog post for information and the download link.
The punk rock news seems to keep coming! “Most Christian Music was 6 years behind secular music, the BMB were only 6 months!” Reports have been circulating that Retroactive Records/Born Twice Records will be re-issuing the classic 1979 album No Sham! by The Bill Mason Band. No details yet, but a BMB song did appear on the recent Heaven’s Metal sampler, indicating that there is a good chance this is happening soon.
A blurb in the newest issue of Heaven’s Metal indicates that Lust Control is actually recording a new ep for release on CD and vinyl. The only announced title is “Finger” – their heaviest song ever. Will all the time that has passed since they broke up result in a kinder, gentler Lust Control? Will they go all trendy and wimpy on us? Yeah… probably not. Whatever they put out, it will probably be fun.
