Ummmmm you're just going to randomly drop this video on us with no warning? We weren't ready! Looking very moody, Ryan.

it's good to see josh doing more outside the band. it's sad that he's confined to a token song or two on each album, i keep waiting for the day they finally release one without him on it. those early albums with him on lead are some of the best punk to come out of the early 90s.

Hello Ryan,

Understood! I also thought you might also be interested in increasing your new home’s value over the next few years should there come a time when you want to sell.

I’m always available to discuss, don’t hesitate to reach out.

Hello Ryan!

Congratulations on your new home, October cannot come soon enough! If you need any recommendations for moving companies, let me know and I will be happy to share my favorites.

When we first spoke about your interest in purchasing the neighboring property, you indicated that your daughter was planning to purchase your home at 2126 N. Commonwealth Avenue, is that still the plan? If not, I would love to talk to you about selling opportunities as the market is hot right now and there are many interested parties looking to purchase homes in the area.

those are the same steps of the recording studio where they first recorded two days in february in 1990

Kudos to them for going back to their roots but the old version is still better.

Alexis @alexiscreeke Replying to @latash85
Yes! Welcome back to the D, guys. He's sounding much better lately! Must be sobriety.

MUSIC
This isn't Christmas for Fever Dream
Eric D. Lawrence Detroit Free Press
Published 4:23 p.m. Oct. 2, 2020

"This Is Christmas", the band's brand new single from "It's Christmas All Over" out on October 30th, 2020

It has been a bizarre year. Twelve months ago, Fever Dream dropped their 12th studio album “Miracle Pill” to positive buzz, they followed up the release with a short tour of Brazil and Peru opening for Bon Jovi, and headlined a fall tour that wrapped in late November. In December they parted ways with their drummer of thirty-three years and soon after went out on a UK tour that was supposed to be capped with a short break.

“It felt like we were really gaining some momentum,” Ryan Mackay told me by phone from his sister’s house in Detroit. “Like we hit our stride and we were gonna come back off a quick break with a lot of energy. Only that break never ended.”

Fever Dream has always been a hard touring band; they pride themselves on it. “We’re not the kind of guys who want to sit around and tour once every couple years for a few dates, we’ve been touring every year for thirty years,” the band’s bassist Josh Peterson says over the party line from his in-law’s home in Detroit where he’s staying with his wife and newborn daughter. “Not newborn,” he corrects me, “she was a newborn when all this started. Now she is going to be a year old in a few months. It’s crazy. When all this stuff started happening, we thought okay, we’ll cancel the first few weeks of our summer tour, how long can this really go on?”

In late spring the band was forced to reschedule their entire summer tour for 2020 and the Fever Dream machine, like the rest of the world, ground to a halt. “It’s hard to look for the silver lining,” Mackay says, “I know for Josh it’s different because he has his baby, and this couldn’t have happened at a better time for him. Seriously, this is the perfect time to have a kid when you do what we do, you’re never around this often when you’re on the road. But for me I had to sort of come to terms with how much I depended on that lifestyle. How there were a lot of times that it was what kept me steady. It’s exciting and fun and shit is always different, but there’s a ton of repetition there too when you’ve been doing it for this long. Not just in the day to day schedule but even in the familiar faces we see and the venues and towns we know so well. You get into a routine.”

What is there to do when there is no work? “Work of course,” Ryan jokes. “You shift gears and try and put that energy into something else, we’re lucky that way. And sometimes something unexpected comes along.”

This time that something unexpected is the band’s first Christmas album titled “It’s Christmas All Over” which is slated to come out October 30th, 2020. “I get really in my head about writing, I start to lose it a little,” Ryan laughs, “Not even a little. A lot. A lot a lot. And I jumped back into writing but it was so… We have a schedule. We write an album, then we tour for two to three years on it and then when that starts to slow down, we write another album and do it all over again. It’s what works for us, I like being consistent with it. So, it felt weird to do an album, tour for six months and then go write another. I feel like I need more time to have a life to write about in between. I don’t want to write just another extension of that album, i don't want to repeat myself, it needs room to breathe. I needed room to breathe.”

“So we started asking ourselves,” Josh continues for his bandmate, “what’s some stuff we’ve always talked about doing and haven’t had time to. A Christmas album was up there at the top of the list.”

“It’s Christmas All Over” is an unexpected and unique mix of songs, ranging from classic carols like “Hark! The Herald Angels Sing” to Tom Petty’s “Christmas All Over Again” (which inspired the title of the album) to Alvin and the Chipmunks' “Christmas Don’t Be Late” along with two new original songs.

“It was freeing,” Mackay tells me, “I didn’t have to freak out the whole time I was doing it because it was like playing a game during the off-season just for fun. Don’t get me wrong, I hope people like it, but if they don’t they can wait until spring for the next album. That should be enough time.”

it'll just barely fit, we might have to pop the frame.
