Carlos Hugo, Duke of Parma

[AaronP]

I was traveling back in time with The Future Force recently, and happened to accidentally warp inside of a solid object. Now, if you are not familiar with The Future Force's time machine, when one warps inside of a solid object, the machine will auto-correct and warp you to a time when that area in space was not a solid mass. The machine will attempt to send you back to your source placement in time, but because the calculation must be made so quickly, it is often a bit off - by as much a half a century. This placed me somewhere that I did not altogether recognize, but I have reason to believe that it was the near future - on account of the presence of modern surface streets, but the absence of surface-level buildings (they were all hidden underground).

Now, prudence would have had me warp immediately back to 2009. But curiosity held me, and I sought out a few individuals to inquire about the current state of the world. I made my way into a public park, which appeared quite devoid of civilians at recreation. I explored further, and into a forest cut with walking paths. After five minutes under the trees, I met two individuals - Daniel Irons and Aaron Perdue - at quite a great shock to myself. You see, these are individuals that I know quite well. They did not recognize me, as my face was hidden underneath The Future Force's time travel mask, so I approached them. I attempted speech, but as soon as I began to annunciate a word they looked at me shocked and amazed, and motioned franticly for me to be quiet. They then proceeded to play music, on two banjos and a conch-shell, which they had hidden up to this point. Their music flawlessly communicated to me these thoughts: Speech had been outlawed by the thought-hating evil spirited intellectual-spurning generation that rose out of the ashes of grunge music. Everybody's tongues were removed (but quite painlessly). Writing was still precariously legal, though the teaching of writing to the young was outlawed. But Daniel Irons and Aaron Perdue had pioneered a new language in their genius - MUSIC. They could communicate flawlessly and effectively with musical instruments.

I then returned to our own time to contemplate these things. After a bit, I went to see if Daniel Irons and Aaron Perdue had published any music - and they had! Under the band titled Carlos Hugo, Duke of Parma, they were and are producing their debut album! They have released a limited number of songs on the internet, and their album release is expected by the end of the year. And it will be free! Free for all to enjoy, via self distributed torrent download (and possibly direct download)! What a wonderful thing! I simply had to share with as many as I could contact! So here I am, to inform you about it. Take a listen:
