Audio for some of the songs which were only played live has not been released or recorded at shows, however audio does exist in a studio format for all songs even if it has not been released.

Today is the day that Crash Love turns 2 years old and A Fire Inside EP turns into an angst-ridden teenager at 13 years old. We encourage you to celebrate the day by showing these records some love and spinning them back to back! They sound exactly the same, promise.
Also, one of our followers on Twitter pointed us to a great video of Jade performing in 1999 with his band Loose Change. It's 20 minutes long and was uploaded just a couple of months ago.
Last year we posted about Adam Carson offering some drums to Luke Janela for his new record. Janela has informed us that the album is complete and can be pre - ordered here. The album will be released on October 1, 2011.
Here is a song from the new album up for free download: Silence
Alternative Press has posted an exclusive stream of a new Blaqk Audio song "Afterdark" which is going to be officially released on October 4 on the soundtrack for the upcoming video game Batman: Arkham City. You can stream it here on AltPress.com right now.
Jade just tweeted, "Afterdark is one of my favorite BA tracks, there's just something about it I never get tired of."
Jade was recently interviewed by AMP magazine discussing the AFI break up rumor/hoax, AFI in general, and Blaqk Audio. According to the interview, Blaqk Audio songs are being mixed at a glacial pace and AFI has not started writing new material. Check the interview out here.
The Blaqk Audio song "The Witness" has been released today on the soundtrack for the upcoming movie Abduction. You can purchase the song here on iTunes. Once you've heard it, tell us what you think!
Unfortunately the record label has decided to force you to buy the complete album instead of allowing you to download individual songs. The album is also on Amazon MP3 under the same restrictions.
Edit:
Our reader Dave has tried to figure out the lyrics, here they are:
"Where is deliverance? Will you walk with, walk with me? Where is forgiveness? Lash the tide and it tames the sea Give me deliverance From the history talk of lies Where is your witness? There isn't Hide your wings and we'll take the sky. You will never feel so alive as you will on the day that you see the sacred ways and a flame you bring a new faith Oh! Smile tonight in the sacred high(?) and you will look at life and think god! (?) Smile tonight oh you have arrived arise and bring the heavens down. Who is the saviour? You can walk this golden sea for just this moment close your eyes and dive with me Who need forgiveness When we all speak fluid lies. Here is deliverance. you ready? (?) Lose yourself and we'll take the sky. You will never feel so alive as you will on the day that you see the sacred ways and a flame you bring a new faith. smile tonight in the sacred high and you will look at life and think God! Smile tonight for you have arrived arise and bring the heavens down. I wanna hear you say this is your final confession. I've never felt like this before. I must admit, must say, i love your final submission (?) Oh! You never looked so good before. You never looked so good before. Oh! Smile tonight in the sacred high and you will look at life and think God! Smile tonight for you have arrived, have arrived here. smile tonight in the sacred high and you will look at life and think God! Smile tonight for you have arrived arise and bring the heavens, arise and bring the heavens down."
As we posted earlier, "The Witness", a new Blaqk Audio song, will appear on the official soundtrack of the movie Abduction. Amazon has now posted the album for preorder and you can preview the song! The soundtrack will be released on September 20.
"The Witness" seems to be very poppy compared to some of the other Bright Black Heaven songs released so far.

Some older AFI fans may remember the days of the 5th Column Street Team, an official group of people around the world who promoted AFI in their hometowns by completing "missions." The group is now defunct, but we've decided to bring in back in anticipation of the next AFI album cycle. We want to spread the word about AFI and bring new fans into the community.
Right now we're beginning to gather the troops in a Facebook group. When anticipation for the 9th AFI album begins to heat up, we'll be posting instructions for "missions" that you can complete in your own town. Join us on this Facebook group today and let us know where you're from. We can't wait to meet you all and get organizing for the return of a bigger and better 5th Column Street Team!
Through our bleeding we are one,

Despite a post made by somebody posing as Davey this morning on the DF, AFI is not breaking up. We have received this statement from management:
"That's not dave. The band haven't broken up. Someone is just screwing around."
The hoax was convincing because the post was authored by Davey's official Despair Faction account. It appears now that the account was hacked. Popular music news sites Alternative Press, NME, and Rock Sound all reported the news as fact, but they have since changed their articles to reflect that it was a hoax. Adam tweeted several hours ago that "we would have totally written a better press release..."
The Reckless Kind, Adam's side project, have a new show coming up at Bottom Of The Hill in San Francisco September 9 with Otis Heat and Caldecott. Tickets are 10 bucks and the show is 21+. Your can buy tickets here.

The soundtrack for the upcoming action movie "Abduction" starring Taylor Lautner has been announced, and one of the tracks is a brand new, never-before-heard Blaqk Audio song called "The Witness." The title has been registered with Blaqk Audio's BMI Repertoire page for a long time.
