Kim Jong Ill in studio recording first album

October 2nd, 2009

The studio’s all booked up right now, but a fair amount of that time is going to the debut Kim Jong Ill album (currently untitled), due out in the winter.

KJI’s album is coming along well and is some of the best music I’ve ever produced. Check out for the first demo from the album, “Nerdiness”. The track list and length extend what would have been an EP to full LP length. Rough idea of what’s to come:

1. Rust
2. Let it Ride
3. Track 2
4. (Untitled)
5. Introducing…
6. Winnie Cooper is a Goddamn Whore
7. Nerdiness
8. Watcha Want
9. Introducing… (MASH Mix)

Keep in mind that it’s not necessarily the order or the exact tracks that are going to end up on the album. Also, if you’ve noticed some songs missing, it might indicate that there’s some more goodness coming along sooner than later.

Twitter Integrated

The website is now integrated with twitter. Birthday Bot owner Ron Swerdon’s twitter ticker is on the site’s sidebar, as is other birthday bot showrunner Alvaro Lopez-Moreno’s.

Additionally, we have the twitter-powered “Tweetboard” forum on the site, which acts as a tab on the left that can be pulled out and accessed from any page of the site. The Tweetboard uses twitter to maintain full nested conversations through twitter, with each post linking back to the conversation on the main site.
