This is the coolest shit ever. |

For a while now, I'd been wondering what happened to Nepo of The O. He'd released a couple new songs on myspace, had a site up, but nothing was happening. There was no news, no new music, nothing. I'm a huge fan of the music, so this is particularly distressing to me. I don't think there was a day that went by where I didn't check the site or his myspace for some sort of info. There wasn't any. Finally, I resorted to sending him an email which you can find here:

Since The O broke up, I've been craving some new Nepo tunes. For a while, I thought Gonna Get Got was going to be able to provide that fix, but with every new song I hear it seems like that precious sound has been lost. When your site finally got an overhaul, I was genuinely excited. Hearing songs like The Beast and Air is Brown really got my hopes up, and I continued to keep up with any news of you that I could, hoping that there would be news of an album or something. Anything.
Sadly, it doesn't seem that way. I don't usually do things like this, but out of desperation, I have. Please tell me if you've got something going on. An album, a single, a new TRACK for your myspace. Anything? I hope you haven't given up, because I haven't given up on you

I didn't expect anything in reply. However, I got one, and this is what it said:

i haven't been too active lately. for around a year. i don't wanna get
into the specifics 'cause
they're extremely personal, but i've been dealing with a lot. About 2
weeks ago, i finally started
to get back to work... writing mainly. (i still need to put a band
together)
then, my day job suddenly fired three quarters of the staff, including
me. needless to say,
i was forced to shift my focus, cause i gots to pay the bills. sooo, i'm
dealing with that big
fat crisis right now. but i totally promise you, i've never considered
"giving up" for a second.
i've been planning on making 2 albums. first, i want to finish a couple
more songs &
release a compilation. with around 2 or 3 songs that no one's heard.
Then, i'm gonna sit down
and make a completely new big fat album which'll take a while.
since you're email was so earnest and flattering, i'm gonna send you a
track that no one else has.
it's kinda weird so give it a few listens before you toss it in the
garbage. also, could you
PLEASE not play it for anyone or make any copies? i want to stick this
one on the
compilation, so it would suck if a lot of people heard it. i'll trust
you to abide by my request
in advance.
i hope you like it, and thanks so much for the kind words. you've
inspired me to get back
to work.

And now I've pretty much pissed myself in glee. The song also, is fucking awesome.
