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!

geez Josh why did you make me watch those do you have any other “Josh Ramsay pre-approved” stuff. Question- do u like leah miller?cuz the second time you were on MOD when u started talking about her in a bikini you crossed your legs up REALLY high in a uncomfortable looking postition

I have read most of these comments and I have to say, Josh… I really really hope being in a band pays a shit load of money. Why you ask??
Because you have a WHOLE BUNCH of girls that are just lined up to marry you and have your babies. On top of that.. they are half your age.. so if you get caught.. that is just more money.. if you know what I mean.
I feel oh so sorry for you.
But I mean.. you must have a really high self-esteem right?? So I guess there is a plus to having horny 12 year old groupies!

P.S- I have watched those videos.. more than once.. and I don’t know if I can watch them any more.. so I guess I have to go back to sitting in silence!
And if you haven’t already, read the comments on those videos.. it is quite hilarious how people respond to your commands..
But I guess I can’t say much.. I am the one sitting here in silence for 47 more minutes of silence.. hmmm.. I really should rethink this plan! hehe. =)
Hope everything is well!

Well, I guess it’s safe to say that music video justice was served on a silver platter that episode you starred in. Hillarious. Josh you have a great sense of humour.. I’m even hoping you’ll go on Video on Trial again. None of the other episodes could even compare to that one!
As for the new album, all I have to say is… OH MY GOD! AWESOME! I’ll be looking forward to it. :]

A fire breathing dragon, hm? Well done, they’re a pain to stay on… all the swooping and flipping and such. The new album sounds like pure genius to me… tap dancing is the next big thing, you know.
In other news, I think you and your gang of mischievous cohorts otherwise known as Marianas Trench should come back to Ottawa. I’m just saying, it’d be so awesome that Jesus himself would cry as if he were chopping an onion of happiness. But no pressure.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I really should be doing something else.
Keep it real!

Josh, you are so amazing. I think you already know that tho, rite? ^_^ Your songs are fantastic and are beyond belief. The band is awesome, and everything you guys do is great! At this moment I am listening to your fabulous CD, Masterpiece Theatre. Oh, how will I ever be able to write such good songs like you? ;P
Anyways…you are so incredible and a stunning singer, songwriter and person! You are hilarious and I absolutely love your music!Although I’m young, I’m not the kind of person who want to marry you and all that junk and say they are in love with you, for how would they know? But you ARE a wonderful person.
I follow you on twitter so if you ever get the chance to read this and see my username, jaleenarox, just remember that it’s ME! Marianas Trench is “ever so glorious”!* You guys rock my sox! lolz
