Pilgrimage to the Southern Stars, For laughs and nostalgia Options

[swami]

Might as well let everyone here check out the old PTTSS issues from back in the day. For those of you who don't know, Pilgrimage to the Southern Stars was a weekly column I published on my website Good Pain Lies on the Riverside from May of 2000 until June of 2002. It was weekly for awhile, and I eventually lost focus (I believe marijuana is to blame) and dropped off completely. The idea of the column was to present a fake Live story just for laughs and entertainment. The name for the column was chosen after a rumour circulated in April or so of 1999 that the title for the next album (TDTH) was going to be Pilgrimage to the Southern Stars. So...sit back...there's a lot of reading ahead. Hopefully it's as entertaining to read as it was to write.

so i take it this was a fake...its the back of the PTTSS cover art that was floating around at the time (cant find the front.) But its interesting that they got some of the design elements accurate; logo, bird...and the names of the the songs with a few that were later changed

This was a bootleg created (I believe by Michael Van den Bergh) after the release of TDTH and the singles from that record. The tracks on this bootleg are from an early demo of the album. This was not something Radioactive Records issued.
