Deceptive times demand devious critiques.  You Are Not Dead was born out of fraughtful observations of the state of our States and the repetitive, empty monotony of consumer culture and electronic music.  The entire package is a protest against the meaningless decisions we are asked to make daily -- between products, between paychecks, between political candidates -- that conflate choice with free thought and individuality.  You Are Not Dead apes the voice of authority, presenting absurd advice on how to live -- or, more accurately, how to remain Not Dead. Which you must be.

You Are Not Dead: A Guide To Modern Living is a project of the Fakeproject Corporation of America and a product of postmortem life. The music and images were conceived and produced by Daniel James Reetz, and the words fell out of Meg Holle.

Daniel Reetz is an artist, a musician, and a student of the Visual Neurosciences. He heads up the Fakeproject Corporation of America. He is looking for a label.	Meg Holle is a writer and a student of Library Science. She backs up the Fakeproject Corporation of America from a maritime fortress in Canada.

This album would not have been possible without the contributions of many people close to the Corporation. In particular,
V.S. Dobbs (Inspiration)
Andrew Filer (Criticism)
Anna Goodin (Viola)
Chad Heille (Recording Engineer)
Tom Hill (Drums)
Mike Reetz (Drums)
Shane Reetz (Guitar)
Brandon Marback (Guitar)
And many others not listed here. Thank you.
