This is My Millennium

***This is My Millennium*** is the twenty-third released album by Moes Haven. Released in their 2007 - 2010 hiatus, it is their second re-released album during the hiatus. Originally released as *Music for the Final Millennium* in 2004, it was heavily changed.

Moes Haven didn't record anything new for the album, they were busy recording *Stromboli’s Alarm Clock*, set for release in 2012 (though it would actually release in 2010). This album was a re-release of their deleted album *Music for the Final Millennium*, released after *Out With the Old* and before *Dislocated Songs*.

Unlike 2007's re-release of *If Not Us, Who?*, which was unchanged, *This is My Millennium* is a very different album from the original 2004 release. The reason for the original deletion was the 2004 album being very edgy and heavier than Moes Haven was known for at the time. It was a stark contrast to *Out With the Old,* released a few months before *Music for the Final Millennium*.

*This is My Millenium* features heavy, distorted electric guitar and features darker lyrics and themes than what the band was producing by then. However, some songs are still the classic light-hearted Moes Haven like "Husbands 'R' Us" which has become a favorite of Farley.

The album cuts out some of the edgier or already-released songs from Moes Haven or The Spoiled Chefs. The album was most likely recorded in 2000 / 2001, as the original versions of the *Explorations in Madness*songs are featured on the 2004 album.

## Music for the Final Millennium

*This is My Planet* was released in a run of 2 copies for Matt and Tom Scalzo in 2001, "this is my planet" being a theme heard throughout the lyrics of the album in songs like "Gas Mask", "Bleak", "$40", etc. *Music for the Final Millennium* was actually a re-release of *This is My Planet* with new songs and recordings from 2004! (The title *This is My Millennium!* is a mix of the two titles.)

The album features many of the songs on *This is My Millennium*, but some on the original tracklist have not been released like "Falsities on Existentialism" (because it is 40 minutes long) and "You Shallow Bitch" (because it says "Fuck" and "Bitch", however "Me Blues" features elements of "You Shallow Bitch"). It also features "Picnic" from *Songs About Food* and "1984" / "Quiet Desperation" from the 2000 version of *Explorations in Madness*.

"Moppin' Concrete (I Drink Wine [I Drink It All the Time])" was originally titled "Moppin' Concrete in Early May" and "Yale University's Beinecke Rare Books Library" was simply "Rare Books". The 2004 version does not feature "Me Blues" or "Edit", recorded in 2004 or 2005. "Escaping the Family" was released on *Songs from Deep in the Vault, Vol. 3* in 2017.[1]
