Lords of Acid Discography was completely redone. I used the same core as Praga's. The albums, lyrics, tracks etc are all in a MySQL database.
Most links (as far as I can tell) have been updated to reflect the new locations.

As some of you have emailed to tell me, it seems Lords of Acid's 'Rover Take Over' was used in the episode of Witchblade on TNT.. Woo Woo!
Memberships are now available on the Children of Acid site.
I don't know if I mentioned it before (I think i did on CoA).
I wrote a script on Children of Acid that randomly picks a winner that is logged in and viewing the site..
The winners get a Free Children of Acid shirt. All you have to do is be logged in and viewing the site.
If your page view triggers the system you win, fill out the form and presto. I have also added the code to VensNews.com, so the same can happen here as well. If PragaKhan.com and/or LordsofAcid.com allows it, I will add it to those sites as well.

I updated the news below. Since there was a lot of news I am putting the 2 changes here as well.
1. Videos are $33.95 each with shipping included.
2. The videos are VHS (not DVD).
3. Praga said he will investigate the possibility of offering the videos on DVD. That is not a promise.
Signup here.
Amen Praga...
It's hard to accept what is happening to me.
I can't change the past or your bad memories.
So why in the world do you take it out on me.
I am what I am and it's torturing me.

Tomorrow (August 18th, 2002) Praga Khan will shooting the video for 'Tausend
Sterne'. This is for the new Praga Khan single in Europe. The
video shoot will take place in Antwerp Belgium and there will
be 10 naked women involved. All I can say is.. 'oh shit'.
Inja (Female to your left), will be one of the Praga Khan live performers in the video.
The "Best of Lords of Acid" album is as good as ready.
Deborah just needs to do one more song and the album should be ready for release on November 10th, 2002.
I also hear this album will feature a few previously unreleased songs. Hope to get more details on that later.
The new Lords of Acid single 'Gimme Gimme' (Which I've spoke of before) will be
released sometime in early October. The video shoot for the song will take place in approximately two weeks.
Lords of Acid and EMI Records will be organizing a big
album launch party. This party will take place on
November 7th, 2002 in Antwerp Belgium. Everyone from anywhere is invited, you pay your own expenses of course. Wonder how much Expedia has tickets for. <Time Passes> A very QUICK search for a flight from Richmond, VA to Belgium was $569.00.. Not bad for a single search. I'm sure everyone can find cheaper flights with some research.
On August 24th, 2002 Praga Khan will perform live at the Pukkelpop Festival (pukkelpop.be)
This is one of
Benelux's biggest festivals and features other bands like Guns and Roses, Jane's Addiciton, Prong and many more. *NOTE* at the time of writing this the website doesn't seem to 'function' when using Netscape. I had to view source to find the physical page needed to get in. The design seems to be very poor.. Another site that believes in looking all flashy and hip but yet doesn't function... Sad.
The videos "Screened 2" and the "Lords of Acid Heaven is Coming Tour video" will
be NTSC on VHS (basically your normal american video format). Date of release will be October 15th, 2002
This will be a limited edition of 500 copies. The
price will be $33.95 (shipment included) EACH and Children of
Acid members receive a 10% discount. Click here to signup on the list to reserve a copy of the video(s).
New Shirts are in and doing well. As usual blah.. I have 6 XXL shirts left but every other size is doing ok. If I don't get ahold of Cover magazine this week, I will issue refunds starting Monday, August 26th, 2002. If you want your refund prior to that, let me know. If people want to use the money they have sent to get other merch, that is fine.
I have dropped PayPal from the CoA Store. Their shipping methods were not good enough for the merch. We've lost a lot of money on shipping, every little bit hurts. If you insist on using PayPal you must contact me first to figure out the amount.
Apple still hasn't shipped my adapter. They stated they couldn't ship it cause all they had was my PO Box.. They never called, they made no efforts to get ahold of me. And the part that is annoying is, I've called them 2 times since I opened the 'case' on the adapter. Of course I find it annoying other things have been shipped to my physical address and on top of that, I gave them my physical address when the case was opened. *strangle*

Video Signup page is done. I am sure I will still get a rash of questions about them (though what is below is all I know). So I recommend bookmarking this page and I will update it as soon as I find out more etc.

Spoke to Praga today. There will be 2 new videos coming out. I don't mean videos like you see on tv, I mean videos like you buy at the store.
The first one will 'Screened 2', which will be filled with new video clips including the 'Gimme, Gimme' video by Lords of Acid
and 'Tausend Sterne' by Praga Khan.
The second video will be the LONG awaited 'Heaven is Coming' tour video.
The formats of the videos are not known at this time (NTSC, PAL, VHS, DVD etc) and the price is not known either. The release date is also not known.
Monday I will start taking names for advanced orders. I will not be handling the orders, it will be handled in Belgium. A store will have to be setup and I will work on that as soon as I get various technical things out of the way, including my laptop problem (see below).
Children of Acid members will receive a 10% discount on the videos.
There are many more details to take care of with the videos. I will work on collecting as much information as possible and post it asap.
Call Apple today. They never shipped the power adapter for my laptop.. So I am still laptop less. I'm doing my best to keep up with things, but I am falling behind.

Lords server is fixed and seems to be doing fine.
It must be a bad day in general. It seems my AC adapter for my laptop has broke..
I notice this after like 8 hours of running off battery (thank god for many battery packs).
I discovered this at 11:00 PM so it's too late to get a replacement adapter shipped.
So what is boils down to is, looks like I'll be offline till Monday or Tuesday. Though I do have my trust iMac, so maybe all hope is not lost.
May also attempt to go to Virginia Beach tomorrow and snag a replacement since they have an authorized repair place over there.

*Update* Lords server will be offline for a few tonight, somewhere between 9:30 PM and Midnight.
But it will only be offline for about 15 minutes. Nothing major, just putting in a new CPU fan.
As far as I can tell. The LordsofAcid.com server may have a bad CPU fan on it which is causing it to constantly reboot.
I am not sure.. I have to wait till the morning to speak to someone who will listen to what I am telling them instead of talking about something completely different and unrelated (*mumbles some profanities*)
