Coliseum - Bad Will

I've seen it suggested elsewhere that the events that occur at the end of this video may have been staged. Based on the fact that there's so little footage of what happens I doubt that.

New Kode9

Wicked track. What else would you expect from Kode9 though?

Thor: The Dark World Trailer

Moist Boyz - Paperboy

Not where my head's at, but I never completely pass up anything that has connections to Ween.

Boards of Canada Mystery Snippet

It's not much as far as actuallygiving us an idea what the new Boards of Canada will sound like (well, you can tell it sounds like BOC, but you know what I mean), however the mystery they're mixing up with it is juicy junior. Reaaal juicy. Read the full explanation/story on mxdwn here. And before you say it, I know of at least one website that utilized the "New BOC" thing as a April Fool's day joke, but according to the article I linked above, WARP has confirmed this is the real deal.

Wolf Eyes - Choking Flys

New Wolf Eyes video.

Fell Voices

Wow. Just found band and I really like them. Like a large, dark drill that grinds through the armor of your skull and fills your head with shadows. And the desciption, "Cascadian Black Metal"? AWESOME. Subgenres may be pretentious and unnecessary, but sometimes they just fit!

You can go to their label Gilead Media's bandcamp page here and buy a bunch of Fell Voices (as well as other bands') music, most of which is of the "Name Your Price" variety. Remember, help FEED artists.

Great interview w/ Local Natives via KCRW

God is LSD - Girl on Fire

It's been a while since I dug this out - one of my all time favorite records. I special ordered God is LSD's Spirit of Suicide from Red Tower in Orland Park back in the early 90's after reading a write-up of it in Subculture magazine. It didn't disappoint then and still holds strong today. This is my favorite song on the record, although, "Trippin... and Fucking the World" is a close second.

It's been a while since I had a GILSD jag - 'bout to remedy that.

Tiamat - Clouds

Wow. I haven't heard this in ages. One of my favorite album covers (although the crucified raven disturbs me a bit)

A Place to Bury Strangers - In Your Heart

I've probably posted this before, but it's so good it's worth posting again (and again and again).

Stag Hare - Sandpaintings

Found this via Warren Ellis' Twitter. I like - definitely fits the floating, hung-over mood I have this morning. You can of course click on the widget and follow it back to the group's bandcamp where the album is digitally offered at the "Name Your Price" cost. Or you can go to Inner Island Records and buy the C30 cassette!

Making How To Destroy Angels

Found this via Wired this morning.

I'm over my hang-ups with the album - I listened to Welcome Oblivion the other night two or three times in a row while reading Brian Michael Bendis X-Men comics and absolutely LOVED it. (was initially disheartened to find several of the tracks from Dec 2012's An Omen e.p. on the full length as well. I've pretty much just combined them into a giant playlist in Itunes).

Real Genius? Shamalamadingdong

This is old news to most; it went viral about a month or two ago. I just finally watched it for the first time and LOVED it.

Trailer: Karl Hyde (Underworld) & Kieran Evans' The Outer Edges

A description via Underworld's email/newsletter thingy: "The film tracks a peripheral route from north Essex to the Thames; a journey that follows the flow of the River Roding from its source to its conclusion at Barking Creek and along the Thames Gateway to Tilbury. Stopping off at allotments, boxing clubs, Saturday markets and working men’s clubs, the film celebrates the vibrant energy and attitudes of the people living and working within London’s invisible borders – the unmapped boundaries that Hyde crossed each day to record the album. Cut entirely to a soundtrack made up of deconstructed Edgeland tracks, The Outer Edges offers a fascinating insight into lives lived along the edges of London. The Outer Edges will be premiered at Sonar Sound in Tokyo on April 7th, and then released as part of the  Edgeland CD/DVD package on April 22nd."

TV on The Radio Perform Dreams w/ Peter Murphy & Trent Reznor

Wow. Mr. Brown sent this to me a week or so ago and I've just gotten around to seeing it.

Wow.

Murphy's voice @ 1:51.

The Pink Skulls Cover Bela Lugosi's Dead

I've been meaning to post this for about two weeks. After my Bauhaus jag two weekends ago my friend Jeffrey threw this at me - fantastic! Jeffrey is one of the fine folks who run just about my favorite recording studio ever, Apocalypse Cow. If you're in the Midwest and looking to record, contact these folk.

Robert Rodriguez's Two Scoops

This is... bizarrely awesome

The Robert Rodriguez-penned Curandero

I'd never heard of this until the trailer popped up after something I watched recently on bloody disgusting. From the Mind of Robert Rodriguez obviously was a great way to set-up the appropriately sparse images of this trailer for an apparently "lost" film that premiered at some festivals back in 2005 but has been in limbo since. It finally received VOD and DVD release recently and definitely looks worth a watch.

New Order - Crystal

I woke up with this song on my mind. It makes me think of my friend Joe Grez and the first time I heard the song, in Dublin with him at the wonderful Whelan's venue. We saw a couple great bands that night, New Prayer Breakfast and the inimitable Daemian Frost, who I really need to get on the ball, rip their ep and post it. SOOOOOO awesome.

M83/Susanne Sundfor on Kimmel

Still no interest in seeing this movie, but this is fantastic. So weird to see M83 introduced as a string section along w/ Anthony Gonzalez and crew. I can't be happier for their success (though I still wonder why Midnight City is the only single that's blown up when there's like five or six from Hurry Up, We're Dreaming and they're ALL AWESOME!

A Place to Bury Strangers - Don't Burn the Fires

A Dead Moon cover - I've never heard of Dead Moon but after this I am most definitely going to be looking into them.

Ghost BC - Secular Haze Live in Linkoping

And to be complete I should post this as well. LOVE the stained glass in the background.

Both these last two posts for Secular Haze can be found - along with a WEALTH of awesome imagery that will only further enhance the perona of this amazing band - on their website, which can be accessed via the following links.

Ghost BC - Secular Haze

I'm so wrapped up in this ghost record right now that I'm revisiting a lot of the tracks and images released in the lead-up to it. I realized I never posted this one.

This and Nick Cave and the Bad Seed's Push the Sky Away are easily going to rank in my top ten of the year.

Savages - Shut Up

New Savages. I'm liking this band more and more. Had a chance to see them last Thursday at the Echo (I think it was the Echo). I should have gone, but when wake up time is 430AM, it's hard to head out for a nine PM show.

And that's me done being acting like an old fuck for a while. 37 is not that old, especially when stoked on music like this all the time.

End blathering.

Terry Moore's Rachel Rising on TV? (via Bloodydisgusting)

REALLY interesting news tonight via the always mighty Bloodydisgusting - one of my favorite comics in recent years, Terry Moore's Rachel Rising, has just been licensed for tv. Read the full article BD article here and if you dig comics and haven't read RR please give it a shot. I wrote some praise for the book here and here.

Ghost BC - Stream Infestissumam

Pitchfork has had this up for at least a week, but after going to metal sucks and seeing this handy dandy little spotify widget at the tail end of a post with highlights from the band's recent Reddit AMA, I had to add it here as well. I received my copy of Infestissumam today via my lovely wife and it really is wonderful. I like it better than the first record, Opus Eponymous. Really great and the final track, Monstrance Clock, is vying for my favorite on the record (at this time). Here's what metal sucks quoted wikipedia for definition of Monstrance Clock:

"The Monstrance clock, or mirror clock, developed during the Renaissance. The monstrance was a cross-shaped gold or silver vessel which played an important part in church ritual and often incorporated sacred figures as part of the design. The clock made use of a rotating ball at the top or in the base to indicate the time of day. Monstrance clocks and crucifix clocks remained fashionable until the eighteenth century."

Patton Oswalt Filibustering Star Wars (AintitcoolNews)

Courtesy of aintitcoolnews. I don't know thing one about Parks and Rec and I'm posting this from work so I haven't even been able to watch it with sound, but I can already tell it's hysterical.
