 		[UPDATE] New article at the sentinel (April 5th)
RFD Back to Studio:
Quote:
Perplex City's top-selling band, Roll for Damage, is back in the studio recording a follow-up to their critically acclaimed album Random Encounter. Sources close to the band say that the new sound they are producing has a much darker, almost nihilistic feeling, especially as compared to the primal joie de vivre of their recent work.

Celebrity-watcher Phil Benoit suggested the somber, more sophisticated sound is the result of several factors internal to the band. "Alejo [Jackson] just had a high-profile breakup, and by all accounts he is devastated," Benoit explained. "Plus Echo [West] and KT [Keenan Thoreau] are rumored to be fighting a pretty serious battle with substance abuse," he added. "All of these things will inevitably come out in their music."

The band's publicist, Shane Cobalt, confirmed the band is recording. "Our guys are fine, working hard, putting out some sharp tracks," he said. "Alejo admits he is still deeply disappointed in the end of his relationship with Joya, but he and all of the band-members wish that the public could respect their privacy on such personal matters now and into the future."

Cobalt also said the new album's working title is Take Intitiative. If the band's typical recording cycle holds true, the album could be available under the Hesh Records label as soon as this autumn.

Benoit, though, was not so certain. "Their friends and studio employees say their new material is positively brilliant, but nobody is sure they can keep it together long enough to see anything hit the streets."

Cheri Lindemann, president of the RFD Fan Club, expressed great enthusiasm for the project. "The band are such great friends, and making music is how they pull themselves through rough times," she said. "[The fans are] all looking forward to what [the band] has to say to us." Lindemann was confident sales of the album would yet again easily exceed the one million mark in its first week of sales.
There's also another one of those blurby things:
Quote:
Justice Alice Zeller has indefinitely suspended jury deliberations in the Michael Corolla murder trial while holding hearings over alleged juror misconduct. The jurors have been temporarily sequestered from the public and from each other while the court investigates accusations that an unidentified juror was taking bribes to report on the jury's findings and to try to influence its decision.

Does my third eye deceive me? Are you really eyeing the Three Balls? If you want to end up like Joya and Alejo, I suppose it's really none of my business.


would make sense for a populist horoscope type thing to reference current pop culture, but perhaps showing that this band might be of some particular concern for us to pay attention to, rather than just a bit of fun background culture building.

rach =)

This gives us an indication of how large the Perplex City 'world' is. Now if I only knew what that indication was...

 		This isn't so much really incisive analysis, but the D&D references in this article are hilarious Very Happy

 		i mentioned this to another gamer friend of mine, turns out he had a band called roll for damage back in high school. found that funny. also, note, theres a mention of sales (And BIIIG sales. platinum in a week) but... no mention of music piracy. you dont have a music article on ANYTHING these days without that mention here. so, is it not in existence, or not a big deal, over there?

 		obvious theory!
Well, the new theory for the theft is obvious:

Alejo, despondant over his high-profile breakup, hires a crack team of theives to steal for him the first step to the only thing that could make him happy again: the d6 in his ULTIMATE die set! Could PPC's tetrahedron, octahedron, dodecahedron, and, gasp, holiest of holies the Receda Icosahedron be next!?!?

 		Everyone's a puzzle lover? A major band is named Roll for Damage?

Geez, it's a society of complete geeks!

They probably faked the Cube theft just so they hang out with us, an obviously cooler alternate reality.

 		Another story, "Judge Suspends Proceedings", this time on the Corrolla trial. We have a new character: Justice Alice Zeller.

 		Could Justice Alice be any relation to the dubious Hesketh Zeller? And if so, is it relevant?

 		I bet Hesh Records is connected to Ghona Hesh somehow.
