Revolution On Canvas: Vol II

[Rohan Kohli]

Below is a message from Charlie of Ad Astra (http://www.adastrabooks.com)/We The People Records (http://www.wethepeoplerecords.com) regarding the next volume of Revolution On Canvas (http://www.adastrabooks.com/01/index1.htm). Which bands would you like to see contribute to this next edition? Leave your thoughts in the replies.

Hey Everyone!

Revolution on Canvas VOL. 1 was started with a huge idea and humble means, and snowballed into something bigger than we ever thought it would be. We worked tirelessly, and with every last dollar made from its publication, to get Revolution on Canvas into every bookstore and every back pocket we could.

Time Warner Books will be repackaging and publishing VOL.1 this April, for National Poetry Month, and will be releasing Revolution on Canvas VOL. 2 as their flagship book in Fall 2006. We're looking for your help to put this together. We need fiction, poetry, prose and artwork (no photography) that conveys, in its essence, the idea behind the music of our culture, the intellectual undertow that distinguishes our musical generation from any other.

The book will be in every bookstore in the country, and will feature the work of artists who characterize the lyrical integrity we are seeking for VOL. 2, the integrity we feel belongs at the forefront of a new literary outlet for music fans. We truly believe this book will suffer without your submission.

Email me at charlie@wethepeoplerecords.net to go over any questions, or if you just want to talk about the book, or if you've never heard about the book and you want to find out what's going on with Ad Astra Books and the Revolution on Canvas series.

We're all excited as hell about having you in the next Revolution on Canvas,

Thanks in adavance.
-CHARLIE

I would piss myself for any of those people... they are all amazing. I wish I could nominate my friend Ken for this. He is in a band, but they aren't signed yet. He seriously is an amazing writer though.

[livelove1234]

I know this seems cliche but.... Pete Wentz

You can not deny that he writes good poetry!
