Marianas Trench: Video On Trial & … A New Album?
January 11th, 2008
What’s up my little blogalicious elven warriors?
Look who’s back in the hizouse, it is I: Sir Ramsay. Of the royal knights, Marianas Trench.
I know what you’re thinking, “What has my favorite band of jubilees been up to lately?” Well, fear not, I am here for you darlings. In fact, I’m in the MuchMusic building as we speak. I just finished taping an episode for a little ditty I like to call, Video On Trial. It was like eating smooth, rich pudding, made special by jesus. And you know what? It was some tasty shit. I’ve always loved pudding. So I did my part, tearing into music videos and continuing my noble quest of world domination.
Unfortunately last night I missed my flight to Toronto. So I had to fly all night, only to arrive here at 7am. But I did it in style. I rode atop a fire breathing dragon. After a very quick sleep I was off to MuchMusic to tape a Video On Trial that can only be described as “majestic.” I would be lying if we didn’t all shed a few tears. It was akin to looking into the face of god and have him smile back at you and say, “you are my favourite.” That’s the kind of show they make ’round these waters.
On to my next topic. So what else is on the fair horizon for Marianas? Let me tell you. Let me crack an egg of enlightenment upon your thirsty heads.
We’re working on a new album. It’s basically 47 minutes of me tap dancing. We just put up a microphone and I donned my taps, and we just let it roll. It was so magical that we decided to just make it the centerpiece of our record. Yep the sounds of tappity tappity for 47 straight minutes. But it’s going to be a double album. The second half is another 47 minutes as well. But of pure silence. There’s extensive sheet music for this part. Lots of complicated time signatures and rhythms. But every note is, what we in the biz call, a rest. Which means you play nothing. But to fully enjoy it, you’ll also get a copy of the sheet music and a calculator so you can count along. I’m really baring my soul on this one, boys and girls. I’m so proud of this record. It’s the best thing that has ever been recorded in the history of time. I’m getting weepy just thinking about it. Look for it in stores later this year. It’s called, “Marianas Trench: The Norman years. A retrospective look at locomotion technology through the years.”
And in the meantime, let me give you some homework. I know you’re thinking, “what will I listen to untill the new Marianas CD comes out?”
Fear not my apple dumplings. Uncle J Dawg has the answers.
Option 1: Nothing. Sit in patient silence untill I send you a signal.
Option 2: “The Cheeky Song” by The Cheeky Girls. “Are You Jimmy Ray?” by Jimmy Ray. “Salami Fever,” by Pepe Deluxe. These are “Josh Ramsay pre-approved” listening material. Search all of these videos on YouTube, and enjoy their genius.
Remember kids, don’t drink gasoline, that stuff’s flammable!

Making little kids watch the cheeky song. I serched it on youtube and i saw the pic of the girls butts and i didn’t even watch it.(mainly because i’m on the sucky computer.) SO i have to tell you this.

hey josh, it’s jared, I love how the last posting on here says “don’t rush your album”. Very inspiring words. Do you mind if we cover the tap-dance extravaganza that is the first side of your double LP? If not I guess we could cover the second disc. Pizza

I almost didn’t post here b’cause I find it kind of freazy to be called a “blogalicious elven warrior”… I’m here “sitting in silence” like you suggested until your album comes out then I can listen to disc 2 of your album and hear 42 minutes of more silence. It better be good silence. Like, worth the wait silence. Wow, that dosen’t make much sence. But nor does Jesus pudding, so I’m sure you must understand this comment more than I do… come by London, ONT on tour if you get a chance… and tap dance to silence the whole time. lol. Peace.

YEAH!!! JOSHUA!!!!
guardian of my timbits. lover of salted sea-nombs, and librarian of wonderous blue hair follicles. this is the acticle of my life <3. i applaud you and your amazing ways, like really: Video on Trial + Joshua Ramsay = heaven sent breadbaskets of enjoyment
to tell you the trueth, i reviewed this quote, un quote, “pre approved listening material”, what an udder let down. they stung my ears josh, MY EARS! i need thosepuppies. like… like, like A HUMAN NEEDS THEIR EARS. that is how bad josh, how bad!
i am willing to admit that the strenuous tourcher apon my noggin is however, creating an intense need for trenches of the mariana flavour.. yum yum <3!!!!!!!

Your ever-faithful fan,
Linnea

new album sounds great, way to not squander the gift ;)when you’re writing all your new music or even re-vamping your last album (it could happen) I think it’d be best to add a tap solo, or something epic like that. anyways, cant wait for either, so I guess I’m gonna have to do some looting to get the album and the episode of VOT early, if it goes issing, it was me……..
-
Omg, I’m watching it right now.
It’s so awesome.
Good job Josh!

But on a more serious note, I really think you have to teach Trevor Boris the actual ShakeTramp Dance, cause, frankly, I don’t think he knew what he was doing!
-xo Jesse.
