Well, things are moving pretty fast for us right now! (never fast enough though!) 
The largest radio station here in the San Antonio area, KISS 99.5, is going to start playing one of our songs on their Saturday night metal show. It's not a local-only show by any stretch, it's almost all nationals with very few locals thrown in for good measure. So we're pretty pumped about it. If we get enough requests to, they've already told us they'd play it during primetime when they have open slots (I forget the actual term, it's basically spots where the DJ can play whatever he wants). Fortunately we know a few of the DJ's!
The tune that they will be airing is here: Victim
It's the closest thing to radio-friendly we have. Most of our stuff is nuts, in lotsa odd times and way heavier.
We recorded this song and all of our songs, ourselves. In the band room, no less. A good friend of mine who's incredibly patient has been mixing and mastering them for us. Bob Oakman (www.bobsbus.com), the guy is amazing!
Also, we just finished recording a new song. It's heavy as hell! Kind of a souther-fried-sludge-metal-meets-prog sorta thing. This a raw track dump; no EQ'ing, post processing, mixing, etc. The gains were just set to unity so we could listen to it. So please don't comment on the recording! It's called a 'rough mix' for a reason!
You can get it here: Stand
Everything there is completely flat to track, no eq'ing, compression, no effects. I do all of my effects to track in real-time using continuous control.
Also, my MO for recording is to double all of my tracks. One left, one right, including solos.
My live rig is the one I record with, it consists of:
JP7 > monster cable > Morley Bad Horsie 1 > monster cable > Morley Lil Alligator > monster cable > Rivera TBR-1SL stereo 60w rack-mount head.
Signal processing chain is as follows:
Rivera > mono out from loop > Korg DTR-2 Tuner > mono out > TC Electronics G-Force > STEREO > TC Electronics M-One > STEREO > returns to A/B amps of the Rivera > Out L/R to Mesa Recto Traditional 4x12 straight-front cabs w/ vintage 30's.
Mic'd with a Sure KMS32SL condensor.
The first tune was recorded on my workstation, a Roland VS2000CD. The most recent tune, Stand, was recorded on my drummers Roland VS2480. He liked mine so much he ran out and bought the expensive one.
