AFI Nitro Albums Will Return to iTunes

On April 21, Nitro Records posted a news item on their Web site regarding the recent pulling of their catalog from iTunes. In the message they say:

Due to various changes within the company, our catalog has been temporarily pulled from iTunes. We’re aware that some of you have already noticed this. Rest assured that we have been working hard here at Nitro headquarters on updating everything & getting it all back up there as quickly as possible for everyone.
Sorry for the delay and thanks for the patience & support!

As of today, AFI’s albums recorded with Nitro are not up on iTunes. As soon as they return I will post an update.

Courtney’s "Day In The Life" Video Posted

AFI has posted the “Day In The Life” video for Courtney, the fourth Begin Transmission winner. This video comes one week after Mark’s video. In the video, Courtney and Smith ride around Houston, visiting an art class, Courtney’s sister’s house, and more. In the interview portion of the video, she discusses being “different,” as well as her video submission to the contest. Smith riding in a CVS Pharmacy cart and nearly being smashed into a pole takes the prize. Click here to watch the video.

Update: Also note that only one week has passed since Mark’s video. Previously, there have been two weeks between videos.

Hunter Posts Video Response 7 of 7

Hunter has posted the 7th and final installment in his epic series of video responses to questions asked on his blog. Related to AFI, Hunter confirms that they will tour in Germany, Newcastle (UK), and Canada on the new album.

Other than that, it’s just Hunter being Hunter as he speeds through a lightning round of questions. It can be difficult to keep up at times. Click here to view the video.

Missing Word From Title Narrowed To Three

In a recent Ask AFI question, Davey was asked about three words and whether one of them was the one word missing from our interpretation of IATVTBH, which is the acronym for a song name from Crash Love. Here are the three candidates. Highlight the white lines below to see them. Keep in mind that Raine said he thought it was the last one on the list, but none of the winners are quite sure.

Jade Updates Blog, Talks AFI and Blaqk Audio

Earlier tonight Jade updated his blog with a fairly short message.

So much going on, haven’t had a chance to post.
Putting the final touches on the AFI album.
Writing new Blaqk Audio songs.
Trying to eat good Thai and Mexican food.
Trying to make it to Coachella (I see Moz is the clear winner).
Trying to decide who to take on tour with us.

Any thoughts on any of the above?
This means that AFI is at least finished recording Crash Love and they are also likely in the early stages of planning the new tour. Blaqk Audio will presumably have a follow-up album to CexCells.

Hunter Posts Video Response 6 of 7

On Tuesday night, Hunter gave us the sixth video in his series of responses to questions asked on his blog. Related to AFI he discusses how he feels about hanging out with fans, and the differences between recording and playing live.

Apart from that, it’s just Hunter being Hunter as he examines life or death choices, his most hated class at school, house designs, teaching kittens to tango, and more. Click here to view the video.

Davey Answers Key Questions

In Ask AFI earlier this morning, Davey answered two key questions regarding the new album. The first was about the ever-elusive meaning of IATVTBH. In a previous Ask AFI, he told us that one word of our interpretation was wrong. Now we know that the last word in our guess is not right.

He also answered a question regarding the possibility of the first single from Crash Love being released before AFI’s show at Edgefest on June 20. To that Davey said, “No, I doubt it very much.”
