Ludwig Van Fukoff and the Last Day of the Sun
In licensing news....Spike TV's hit show "Auction Hunters" has been using my song "Last Day of the Sun" in one of their episodes..
You can purchase "Last Day of the Sun" here worldversusme.bandcamp.com/track/last-day-of-the-sun
Work on the brand new album "For a Better Tomorrow" continues, and I am now entering the vocal phase of the album. I spent the last few weeks tightening up the electronics of "Escapism" and now that it's done I will be focusing on the vocals to all the tracks...
I was inspired last night to work on two absolutely new tracks that incorporate high energy drum and bass sounds, which I am thinking about including in the album. So at the same time as I work on the vocals to all tracks, I will complete these two new tracks and try to finish them in time to make the album. As it stands now the album has eight complete tracks with the possibility of an additional three or four incidental tracks that have very strong cinematic influences to them. The total number of tracks to this album is stilll unknown but definitely more than eight. Pre-order the digital album for eight bucks now here! worldversusme.bandcamp.com/album/for-a-better-tomorrow-pre-order. When the album is released the price will go up... the time to order is now to get the price break digitally.
Ludwig Van Fukoff is the official mascot of World Versus Me and is an all around playboy chick magnet and super hero. There have been numerous sightings around the world and pictures are starting to come in...
Here is me and LVF climbing rocks in Yosemite 
After climbing rocks we got hungry....so Ludwig showed up at my cabin wanting some food.
A few days later LVF was spotted in further up north on a Californian beach somewhere 
A couple of hours later LVF was spotted with Brad in Illinois
LVF with Brad's friend Christian
Not quite sure what happened here but I think LVF and Christian had a disagreement. 
Here is Ludwig in Missouri with Kristopher. It's a little known fact that LVF can be shrunken down to the size of a ninja star, this is a pic where he was used accordingly.
Here is a pic of LVF hitching a ride with Kris on his back
Here is Antanya in California wearing her "Anti Me and You" Ludwig Van Fukoff shirt.... She altered it in this pic... But here is the shirt in its original form 
This shirt is currently sold out in both L and M sizes but XL, 2Xl and 3Xl sizes remain.
You can order it here worldversusme.bandcamp.com/album/for-a-better-tomorrow-pre-order
There is free shipping on this shirt for a limited time and this shirt is limited edition which means once they sell out they sell out for good and are not reprinted.
There is a brand new Ludwig Van Fukoff shirt available in ALL SIZES
Ordering the shirt gives you the new album absolutely FREE..."For a Better Tomorrow" will be delivered straight to your email once it's complete. So order your LUDWIG VAN FUKOFF/World Versus Me shirt and get FREE shipping and a FREE digital album.... ;)

World Versus Me Album Flash Drive Pre-Order
Although the USB device filled with an album of music has been used in the past for promotional purposes by a small group of artists, it needs to take that next step of making it the complete source for the album in it's tangible form along with custom artwork on the casing of the USB itself. In my opinion adding the artwork to the USB casing, identifies it, not only brings it to the level of a CD but actually surpasses it in potentials.
These potentials are numerous some of which have not been explored yet but for example in my USB album, it will contain the album in both WAV and MP3 formats (320 KBPS Encoded with artwork) as well as exclusive video of behind the scenes in the studio and elsewhere during the making of this new album. In addition, I am including a photographic album of my art showcasing not only California, in an artistic sense, but interesting bits and ends taken during the making of this album that invites the listener into the world of the artist in ways a simple CD can not give.
I want to take you into my world making this album and invite you to join me on this journey.
Please view these videos that contains a samples of some of the new songs in it's early and raw state http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-1RNQ_R8XiM
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TFSmvcodi0g
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EZfuW1ornWY
You can pre-order this album here http://worldversusme.bandcamp.com/album/for-a-better-tomorrow-pre-order and also here http://www.worldversusme.com/For-a-Better-Tomorrow-Album-Flashdrive-Pre-order-13.htm
The way I see the future is not the CD nor even the USB, but something like the USB that can bring art, music and media to the next level.
The industry clings to the CD because it is reminisant of vinyl, but as we all know times are changing, this change obviously has lead to a digital format and perhaps 30 years from now into a bio-digital format, but still some people will want to own something tangible. In fact the idea for this USB came about for me, from people asking me to make CDs of this new album because they wanted to own it in tangible form, so I decided to create this USB album instead.
I peronally think the USB format is a lot better.

Songs of Love for Japan and why I joined the project.
Songs of Love for Japan is compilation of 100 artists (including the likes of Tori Amos, Ani DiFranco, Wolf Parade, Sara Bareilles) released today with all proceeds going towards helping the people of Japan after the devastation of the recent tsunami. I was asked today by Bryce Longton (One of the organizers for SOLFJ) as to why I joined this great compilation and my answer is as follows.... "I don't think I have ever seen the kind of devastation as I have seen in regards to the tsunami in Japan, I feel like this world is more and more connected and we should help each other in any way possible, because when you think of it we are just a tiny little blue spec in this vast universe, all we have is each other. If my music can help, I want to do it, without any hesitation. I am very grateful that Songs of Love for Japan gave me the opportunity to contribute, and I am hoping we raise a huge amount of funds to help the people of Japan cope and overcome this natural disaster." Bryce also asked me why I chose "Transference" for this compilation... And I answered "Transference" is about the soul, as well as the power of love to save. The chorus contains the words "She threw me down a line, I was lost at sea. The darkness intertwined like 2 vines in a dream." This is a metaphor for the power of love to save you from any darkness, any strife, any overwhelming situation that drowns you. I wish people can wake up and understand how interconnected everything is. We are all one." To see a full listing of the tracks please visit http://www.solfj.org/tracks The website is http://www.solfj.org/ Here is my track "Transference" which is part of the compilation
Transference by World Versus Me Please purchase it as part of this compilation You can purchase it as part of 100 songs or as 20 songs but for the 20 songs "Transference" will be available either Tuesday or Wednesday. The 100 song compilation for $100 is available right now! The most important thing is to HELP the people of Japan. Lyrics to "Transference" There are times that I have known as though from far away, seems like yesterday There are traces left unknown that show the way In silent shades She threw me down a line, I was lost at sea The darkness intertwined like 2 vines in a dream There are worlds underground that surface to the edge and somehow make their way Secret worlds are left unbound till the final day In shades of grey She threw me down a line, I was lost at sea The darkness intertwined like 2 vines in a dream -David Alvarez World Versus Me

World Within: A Revolution is at hand. Vimanas are coming...
I spent the last 5 years of my life acting as my own manager, record label etc....handling all things on a bigger level than most independent label bands. Of course I am human, the fact I had to take care of web sites, promotions, web designs and all things tedious that come with the territory means I had to sacrifice a bit of my artistic self in order to see things grow and maintain it all. Recently, I have let all of that go, for the most part, as WVM has grown a great deal, now I can dig deep in my soul and find the artist inside once again. For too long I have neglected my visual work, but the last few months I have been working on both art and music more than ever before.
Quick study of my left hand.
I've been painting and drawing again making up for the time I was forced to wear a business hat, and I am now an artist once again as well as musician. I've sold some paintings in my lifetime one of which was sold to Mike Luedtke, who happened to commision 2 new works which are currently in the process of being created.
Mike also happens to be one of the biggest fans of my music out there, he's gone the extra mile of supporting my music both online and in the streets. As with last week's WVM Nation profile I wanted to have a mini interview to get into the mind of the WVM NATION.
INTRODUCING USA WVM STREETTEAM LEADER: Mike Luedtke
WVM: What are your favorite bands?
Mike: Well, Just a few of them to name some of the signifcant ones in my life have been: Nine Inch Nails, Otep, WVM, VersaEmerge and KoRn.
WVM: What is your favorite WVM song?
Mike: To date, I can't name one PARTICULAR SONG. But just to name off a few that have caught me on a glimpse of inspiration "Duel" and going back awhile "Crippled So Hard"
WVM: Mike, you've been listening to my music for quite a while and I have seen tons of videos and pics of you tagging the streets with WVM information. You also have quite an extensive history of pushing WVM into the consciousness of culture, what's the weirdest place you tagged with WVM stickers?
Mike: Well, with my time in the U.S.Army, by far the weirdest place that I would have to say was on the Generals military vehicle. From the best of my knowledge it is still on there as they deployed over to Afghanistan not to long before I left.
Mike wearing a WVM Beanie. All WVM Merch can be purchased here worldversusme.bandcamp.com/album/inversion
WVM: What are your top 5 movies?
Mike: Movies.. This is a tough one, but I want to say: Fast and The Furious, Pirates of the Caribbean, The Hannibal series, for those of you that remember them: The Aliens Trilogy, and last but not least Resident Evil series
WVM: What do you expect of WVM’s forthcoming “Vimanas” albums?
Mike: What do I expect? Oh my, Well, working with WVM since 2004 and all the hype that was brought out through "Duel" album, I am honestly expecting WVM to go above and beyond the call of duty with "Vimanas". "Duel" was a large step in WVM's history. It brought out the true intentions that David had. And I expect NOTHING DIFFERENT from "Vinamas". I've taken a look into "Black Sun" and "Inversion" and both of these are just so much more powerful then anything that I've encountered. I would compare "Inversion" to Trent Reznors "The Downward Spiral" and can easily say that they are on the same playing field.
Mike with a WVM Ikon tattoo!!!
WVM: Mike, I know you have an interest in poetry/writing is this what you want to with your life?
Mike: At the moment David, it is just a hobby of mine. Yes, I do look forward to eventually publishing my work. And eventually getting my name out there. As few people are aware of right now though, I am starting school again to attend to my #1 passion. Working on computers. As a hacker, I have to look at my priorities. Yes, I've been a writer since 2000. But I have been working with computers and have a much more distinct knowledge of them then I do the writing field. In the next 9 months, I will have both my certifications to be able to work on any computer in the country.
WVM: What do you hope becomes of World Versus Me?
Mike: What do I hope? This actually is a very tough one for me to answer. However, I will state that my hopes for WVM probably go above and beyond what you want David. I do hope that someday, WVM reaches the caliber of lets say "Nine Inch Nails" or maybe even "Nirvana". I want WVM to be able to reach a height that no other artist has been able to do before. To reach above and beyond "Kurt Cobain". To hit a height so high, that it will go down in music HISTORY. I look at this, and everyone asks me now a days, "What kind of music would you consider WVM?" I can't think of just ONE. I have to come up with my own name for it. When WVM was 'SToB' I had used the name "Sonic BooM Core" as a description of what it was. Today, I look at it as "Versus US Core"
WVM: Mike did you start a WVM Streetteam page on Facebook?
Mike: Yes I did David, It is called the World Versus Me USA Street Team. It is a street team that is ran by me. And soon after hopefully, David as well. (whenever he decides to like it.) And it basically shows support for WVM in every which way possible. I'll be posting pictures on it, and getting new videos and everything out there for the fans that are all around.
WVM: cool what is the URL of the page?
Mike: http://www.facebook.com/pages/World-Versus-Me-USA-Street-Team/127722693964680
Video of Mike preparing WVM World Domination http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iyA6y8YcCdM
WVM: When "Vimanas" comes out I will arm all WVM supporters with stickers and WVM promotional materials that support WVM online.
Mike: When that time comes, the small army that I have here at US Street team home base (Wisconsin) will be preparing to launch what I call "Versus The World". What this pertains to, is those of us that support WVM from the area that I am located, once the stickers are received, we will be dropping a massive bombshell on big name places. Game Stop, Barnes and Noble, any big place that sells music, that sells any kind of music. I began this with a group that I had called the Texas Militia when I was in the military. Well, it worked perfectly. I know that a lot of the stickers i posted around Fort Hood Texas, are STILL there. "Sevas Tra" (The team that I work with out in Wisconsin, will be arming themselves with WVM gear of all kinds. Lately, I had one that asked me about shirts and supplies that can be used to support the band. Currently, she has one of my WVM shirts, and is using all of my CD's and burning them onto her Ipod. So its essential for those in the WVM "Sevas Tra" Tribe to have the materials that are needed for them to be able to move at a fast pace in the WVM era. Some of them I've worked with since before WVM. Others, I met through WVM. I have a member in Oklahoma that David knows quite well, Sammy Hill. He has begun to start phasing heavier and heavier into WVM. He has always been a big WVM supporter, even before I met him. But he continues even as time progresses. Others, on the other hand, like the person that recruited me into WVM have sense phased out. But I will be assembling all of the WVM supporters in my area for a big celebration type thing and charge the streets with gear, showing our support using the "Versus The World" concept.
Mike: Now a trick question for you David, Are YOU ready for "Vinamas" to be released?
WVM: It's getting there the drums are scheduled for the first week of March, I have spent most of this time structuring all the songs and developing the electronics which are quite elaborate. I would say that the mixdown for "Vimanas I" should be in late March, I am also looking at people like Mark Needham and Chris Vrenna among others for mixing, I have my eyes and ears open for the right person to mix this beast..
That's it for now....
I forgot to include a video of Dan Hayes rocking out to "Duel" in the last WVM Nation profile, check it out here www.youtube.com/watch
Till the next time
