Most intricate metal-makers can craft, what, one deck chair a day? And that's on a good day. But, by the time 2008 rolls around, intricate metal-maker Justin Broadrick will have used his 365 good days to make a whole lot more than just some weather-resistant thing to sit on.

The Jesu frontman and renaissance dude posted his 2007 to-do list on his MySpace blog recently, and, man alive, is it ever ambitious. Rather than reformat it all, I'll just save you the trouble of hopping on MySpace and running afoul of those obnoxious silent ads with the ladies in the gym:

Justin K Broadrick remix of FOG on Lex Records - imminent.
Justin K Broadrick remix of MANINKARI on Conspiracy Records - soon.
FINAL remix/collab with Fear Falls Burning - approx 20 mins, 1 of 10 collabs in ltd box - imminent.

And that's not even counting the EP he's plotting for Mark Kozelek's Caldo Verde label in 2008! Or the dates he's playing with Sunn O))) in July! Or how he was asked to tour with Tool but had to decline due to short notice! And he already did that kickass Conqueror record this winter! Dude makes it happen.

01 Jesu - "Farewell"
02 Jesu - "Blind & Faithless"
03 Jesu - "Why Are We Not Perfect?"
