Mixing with our good buddy Rich Costey is going great. So far, he's mixed 9 songs, and they all sound fucking stellar. He had an interesting process where he started out mixing some of the looser songs first, and then ramped up to the denser stuff. Our goal in mixing is to make it loud, and then make it louder then that. "Still Alive" was an early one, and he brought a real heaviness and aggressiveness to that song. Song is very drum and bass oriented, very different for us, but still rocks at the same time. A bit of Queen influenced guitar harmonies helps on that song.

"Save Yourself" was another early one, a mix of Judas Priest metal and 80's arena rock. That song went through a lot of different permutations, and finally we settled on this vibe that took us to new territory. We then got into a song called "The Only Hope For Me Is You," and that's where things really starting clicking with Rich. What was great was each song would just sound better and bigger than the last. As some of you had guessed from a twitter thing of mine (I refuse to call it a tweet), David Campbell did a bit of work on the record, and that's one of the songs he arranged for. Costey did this crazy effect with the strings going into the last chorus that blew me away. One of my favorite tracks.

"Trans Am" and "Death Before Disco" came next. "Disco" you may have heard at the Roxy shows or from Youtube videos of Summersonic. So happy with the way that mix turned out. I have to drive REALLY FAST when I listen to it. I think that's a hallmark of a great rock song. "Trans Am" is an epic take on "Born To Run" in 4 minutes. When we wrote this song, it was HUGE for us. Really opened our hearts and ears during the writing process. Frank, thanks for noodling and G, good ear to make a song out of it. You guys will love this song. Another favorite. Looking forward to more mixes, we got coming up "Kiss The Ring," which we also played at Roxy. I really can't wait for "Black Dragon Fighting Society," our ode to Misfits punk. Song kinda shreds!

Mixing is a great thing. The ideas continue to flow, and like they say, writing is never done. FYI any of the song titles mentioned are still tentative, you know how we like to change things up!!!

Acting as a bassist in “You're Beautiful" - Towel guy, Jung Yonghwa, will meet his fans for the first time on stage.

Jung Yonghwa will lead his fellow members of the idol band C.N.Blue to perform at FT Island's concert as guests, at Seoul's JangChung Gymnasium on 14th and 15th November.

Jung Yonghwa holds the bassist position in A.N. Jell in the SBS Wed-Thu drama “You're Beautiful“, as Kang Shinwoo. He also became the topic of many after being known that he actually belongs to a 4-member band. At FT Island's upcoming concert, he will perform on stage with his bandmates, for the first time in Korea, as the lead vocal. This concert holds an even special meaning as Lee Hongki, who acts alongside with him in the drama, belongs to the band FT Island.

According to Jung Yonghwa's management company FnC Music, “While doing performances with his Indie band in Japan, he got a casting in the drama and so he went over to acting. As he's busy filming for the drama, it's difficult to plan other schedules for him. However, we managed to get consent from the drama producers in advance, to arrange for their first stage in Korea to meet their fans, who want to listen to their performance and songs.”

Jung Yonghwa attracted lots of female fans with his tall height and princely image in “You're Beautiful“. He also studied music while doing street performances and gigs at live clubs with his bandmates in Japan. The other 3 band members are now studying in Japan. They are working very hard with the aim of debuting in Korea early next year.

I've been waiting for C.N.Blue to pop up somewhere soon since 'You're Beautiful'.

DJ Tukutz of Epik High who left last month to serve his mandatory military service, wrote to his fans recently.

The letter went up on Epik High's website (mapthesoul.com) that read:

"To all the fans who were worried about the alcohol and cigarettes, there's none of that here, so my body is getting a lot healthier. After my mailing address was released / published last week, I've been receiving a lot of letters and I'm ever so grateful for them. I've realized, to a soldier, letters are the 2nd most important thing after food."

Tukutz added:

"I haven't seen it yet, but I've heard my military training photo has been released. How is it? Is it strange? I'm still in training, so I may look a bit awkward, but as I develop as a soldier, I will show more distinguished and cooler photos."

Looks like Tukutz is fitting right in, I'm sure he's still the same old clown though.
