Hey everyone. Just wanted to let all Juno Reactor fans that the ReactorLeak forum is up and running. The link to the forum is this: https://forum.junoreactor.com/. There was once a ReactorLeak forum (from 2005 to 2012). When the ReactorLeak forum shut down, most of us Juno Reactor fans connected with each other on Facebook. Now that the ReactorLeak forum is up and running, there have been lots of good discussion. Ben Watkins is also very active on the forums so it is pretty easy to ask him questions about what the upcoming album might sound like.
First of all, Ben has given us some of his unreleased music. "Puttin' on the Blitz" is one that I really, really like. It was made for the movie, "Bunraku". It is based on swing music but has a very lovely guitar section and some amazing vocals by Taz. Another one is "What a Lovely Way to Burn". I don't like this one as much since it is a bit darker than most of Juno's music. I think if Ben worked on this a bit more, it would sound much better. A couple of more music Ben has given us are "Dreams" (which he has given us previously), "Jo's so Mean to Josephene" (a Flowerpot Men remastered song), "Until the Day is Done" (featuring Ben's daughter Simone) and a "Conquistador" remix (featuring Sphongle).
Secondly, I asked Ben about one of his songs that he played at the Ozora and Lublin shows from last year. He confirmed that the song I mentioned will be on the new album and that it will be called "Return of the Pistolero" (although he thinks it might be called something different, so it won't be confused with original Pistolero). Ben also confirmed that "Our World" and "Alien" will definitely be in the new album as well
I am looking forward to all the good stuff that is coming from Juno Reactor this year. The next Juno Reactor album is looking pretty good. Hopefully there will be a North American tour sometime this year as well. I know that there are lots of Juno Reactor fans in the US and Canada that are waiting to see Juno live again.

Happy New Year 2018
Well 2017 just ended and I had a very exciting year. My most memorable moment of the year was probably when I went to BlizzCon again in November. I hope to have as much fun this year. There are a few things that I am looking forward to this year.
1) I think 2018 is going to be a big year for Juno Reactor. First of all, Juno Reactor's new album should be coming sometime early in 2018. I am really excited about this because I already have heard some of their new songs and I really like those songs already. Secondly, I think Juno Reactor will have a new website along with a new ReactorLeak forum in 2018. I really missed the old ReactorLeak forum because I really miss the interaction between us Juno Reactor fans. Thirdly, there might be even a Juno Reactor tour coming to the US this year so I am hoping that I can attend one of these shows. It has been a long time since I last seen a full Juno Reactor show for quite some time.
2) Could 2018 be the year Blizzard announces the next Diablo game? There is lots of speculation right now that the developers of Blizzard are working on the next Diablo game (either Diablo 4 or some kind of MMO). Speculation is also pointing out that this new game will come out in 2019 or 2020. So it wouldn't be far fetched to think that some kind of announcement would be made in late 2018 or so (@ BlizzCon maybe?). I am really hoping that Blizzard will announce this at BlizzCon 2018 because it will make the fans of the game really happy that the franchise will keep moving on.
3) I am hoping in 2018 that I will be travelling a bit more than 2017. I would love to go to BlizzCon again this year but I would also like to go to a Juno Reactor show if it happens to come to the US. I am also hoping to visit my friend who lives in the interior of BC. We first wanted to go fishing out on the BC coast but after thinking about it, that trip might be too expensive for us. So instead I am hoping to go camping or do something else when I visit my friend. I wouldn't mind going somewhere else (like Hawaii or Mexico) but I think I will wait a bit more for that.
2017 was a fun year but I think 2018 will be even better. I will continue to work hard at my job and enjoy myself whenever I can in 2018. I hope everyone else had a fun 2017 and I hope 2018 will be great for all.
