Even though the winter is far from over we figured it was a good time to freshen things up here and get ready for a new chapter in the story of 5th Estate Music.  As you can see, the site now looks a bit better...cleaner and sleeker. 

As for the next chapter, that is the one with Paul E. Phonics as the main character.  The weather has been awful here which has served as a bit of a blessing as far as creativity goes.  With basically nothing to distract or lure anyone outside it has been the perfect time to hunker down in the studio and finally get some Paul E. Phonics tracks finished.  A few preview tracks are ready to be revealed and to go along with all that there is a new website for the project  www.paul-e-phonics.com  It could work out that Paul E. Phonics takes the lead role for the rest of this year but we'll see how things go.  A debut album is in the works and will definitely be released this year, it's just a question of earlier or later at this point.  Work has also begun on a follow-up Fine Print Pariah album so that will be an important priority later on in 2010.

Speaking of Fine Print Pariah, there has been a lot of interest from podcasters recently and there will be updates in the news here when songs are played of course.    Efforts will be made to keep this ball rolling but chances are there won't be that much news for a while. We will try to keep things updated on what is going on behind the scenes though.

All in all, exciting times here.  Until next time!
