Halloween Lover Todd Fancey (guitarist, New Pornographers, Fancey) will be joining us today at 4PM EST / 1PM PST for "Todd Fancey's Terrifying Halloween RockMe. Session."
Here's what Todd's label What Are Records? released:
"Turns out New Pornographer and solo artist Todd Fancey's a huge fan of Halloween, so we're making it a special day. First off, we're giving away one of our favorite songs from his new album "Schmancey," the appropriately themed "Witches Night," all week long right here. It's the story of a young male haunted by an evil ex-girlfriend, so we're guessing a few of you out there can more than relate.
Then, Todd's going to host the first ever "Terrifying Halloween Interweb Tour." More than your typical on-line chat session, thanks to me.dium.com, everyone who participates can simultaneously check out the websites and youtube clips that Todd frequents. In other words, you're gonna get a guided tour through Todd's world. Scary? Terrifying? Creepy? Only in the best, most fun way possible.
The "Terrifying Tour" is a unique chance to get to know more about Todd's work in the studio and on the road with the New Pornographers, and to check out his thoughts on his dazzling new solo record "Schmancey."
We'll also travel far outside the indie pop world. You see, Todd's a not-so-closeted metalhead. So, there's also gonna be a "Zeppelin Vs. Sabbath" debate, we'll touch on the Ace Frehley's scarily funny appearance on the Tom Snyder show with the rest of his Kiss bandmates in '79, and discuss Angel Witch, Witchfinder General and Venom.
Of course, you're free to bring your own topics and questions to the party. All treats, no tricks. I think I'm out of cliches. Hope to see you there. Visit http://rockme.dium.com at 4 PM EST on the 31st to participate."
Be sure to join the chat.
Happy Halloween!

Joining us from Sweden, Patrick and Suzanne have recently released their second album, Beneath & Beyond.

At our RockMe. Sessions we bring in a various kick-ass artists and bands to lead their fans and Me.dium users around the interweb on a virtual tour of their music.
Never before have bands and fans been able to share such a unique music experience.

During RockMe., fans are given the opportunity to speak directly with their favorite musicians (or musicians they have yet to discover), interact online and ask questions.
Standfast is not the first band to embrace this platform. Rose Hill Drive, a Boulder, CO-based rock band, recently chosen by Rolling Stone magazine as one of the "Ten Artists to Watch in 2007,” hosted the inaugural week of RockMe. and closed the first online music festival with a live streaming concert. With more bands to come on board, including Lol Tolhurst (The Cure), Perpetual Groove, Gosling, Todd Fancey (New Pornographers) & many others, RockMe.dium.com is quickly becoming the leading rock venue of what most people prefer to call....the Interweb.

Lol Tolhurst is hosting today's RockMe. Session! Lol Tolhurst right! That's pretty insane! Ha! Join us today, Wednesday, October 17 at RockMe.dium.com at 4PM EST / 1PM PST to kick it online with Lol Tolhurst!
Lol is a rock legend! Check out his most recent bio:
"Lol Tolhurst and Robert Smith would start on a journey that would take them to the very pinnacle of musical success. In adolescence, Lol and Robert discovered that they shared a similar vision to form a group like the ones that influenced them. This simple inspiration would create one of the most influential, critically acclaimed and commercially successful groups of modern times: The Cure. From 1978 onwards, Lol and The Cure would chart an impressive selection of achievements:
- Well over 27 million units sold worldwide
- Extensive touring covering all the continents
- 40 Platinum and Gold plaques in the US, Europe and Japan
- Co-writing many of the group's big hits including "Let's Go To Bed", "The Walk" and "The Caterpillar"
- Over 20 landmark award-winning music videos.
With The Cure's influence on artists growing in greater proportions in recent years, Lol has made major moves in the music industry. He dove back into the studio in 2002 with his new project: Levinhurst. A suave, exotic group comprised of Lol's keyboards, beats, and sonic landscaping against the stirring vocals of Cindy Levinson, the group met critical acclaim with their 2004 debut Perfect Life. It covered a much wider musical range than most electro artists attempt to fill, and please Cure fans and electronic music junkies alike."http://levinhurst.com/biography.html
