Album news…

The second Chameleon Circuit album, Still Got Legs, is currently available for pre-order here. You can also pre-order a Chameleon Circuit t-shirt here. Both will ship on July 12th. (Additionally, you can order a set of Still Got Legs themed Sopio cards here.)

You can take a look at the awesome Still Got Legs album art here on Alex’s blog. Charlie wrote about the album on his blog here. Alex has some interesting insights on the Still Got Legs songs he wrote in this video. And you can go here to watch some behind-the-scenes videos of the album production.

In anticipation of the album release, Chameleon Circuit held two Still Got Legs listening parties at Red Bull Studios, where attendees could listen to the album before its release. Afterwards, the band members took questions from the audience. (You can watch a recording of the question and answer session from the June 4th listening party here (part one) and here (part two).) They even had a dalek and a TARDIS there! Sam Caplet has some fantastic photos from the event here.

Podcast/website updates…

Summer vacation has begun for me and I’m going to be out of town for several weeks with little or no internet access. This will unfortunately delay the releases of the next Trocklafane Podcast episode as well as the news posts. However, the next few episodes are currently in production and I plan to finish and release them as soon as I return. (As well as taking care of some much-needed website updates and housekeeping.) Hopefully you guys won’t miss me too much!

More frequent news posts - After the post at the end of this month, I’ll be posting news posts weekly. There has been so much trock news lately that I feel like I need to be updating more often to keep up with it! Once this series is done, I’ll probably continue doing weekly (or, more likely, biweekly) posts.

Other things?
People seemed to like the series 5 song list I made, and I plan to continue doing that sort of thing. I’ve already started a page for series 6 songs here (the YouTube playlist is here) and I’ll be updating it as the series progresses. In the future, you’ll be able to find all the “themed” song lists here.

Though it might not seem like it, I have a lot of ideas and things planned for this site. (And with the end of the school year approaching, I might finally have time to follow through on some of them.) But, I’d also like to know what sorts of things you want to see. Would you like to see some album reviews? Trock artist spotlights? Interviews? Non-trock-related reviews? Crazy rants? What would you guys like to see? (Also, am I the only one who thinks there should be more trock on tumblr?)

The Chameleon Circuit folks have been hard at work this month on their new album, Still Got Legs.

Sadly, Chris (Gallifreyan History 101 and K9′s Lament) will not be involved with this Chameleon Circuit album. You can check out the “leaked” track listing for Still Got Legs here. If you’re interested in watching some behind-the-scenes clips of the album being recorded, you can see this video (at 1:32) and several videos on this channel (including the recording of ”Doctor What” and “Regenerate Me”). There’s no official release date yet, but we can probably expect it to be out in a few months.
