The Best Article on Superman You're Gonna Read In The Immediate Future
Chvrches - Recover
This is cool. I just received my old band The Yellow House's video for our song U R Ur Car where, just like the Chvrches video above, we rented a roller rink for the video shoot, rented a stage and set up and played in the middle of a ton of people skating. It was really cool. I'm going to have to upload that to the ol' utubes and post it here.
Sex Pistols - The Filth and the Fury
Been a while since I've watched this, but it's essential viewing for Lydon/Pistols fans.
Sex Pistols 1/10/78 Longhorn Ballroom, Dallas TX - Bodies
Classic Rotten. Part of the 12 tour dates that changed the world.
The Lydon/Constantine Connection
And speaking of Johnny Rotten, I know that the initial incarnation of John Constantine was based on Sting (via Swamp Thing) but obviously Lydon was, in the long run, a much more inspirational force behind the character.

John Lydon Takes Rock Royalty to Task
Apparently it's John Lydon day here on my blog. Oh goody!!! I quite like Neil Young (but not all of his music) but Lydon's impression of him is pretty damn good, actually.

Bookhouse's Twin Peaks record "Ghostwood"
Thanks to the mighty Bloody Disgusting for posting about this. The band is Bookhouse, the album is Ghostwood. Awesome!!! Follow the BD link for more info on it and some video too!!!
Godflesh - Paralyzed demo Version
From the re-mastered deluxe Hymns, via an older Brooklyn Vegan post. One of my favorite Godflesh records. But then, I can say that about pretty much all of them.
New Polica - TIff
2012's Give You the Ghost was in my top 10 of last year. I dig this song, but the video is a bit violent for my tastes. Torture porn-ish in a way.
This from a guy whose first video featured someone tearing their own heart out. Hmmm...

Silencio - Slow Sin Jazz
Thanks again to Welcome to Twin Peaks for turning me onto this. Music inspired by the works of David Lynch and Angelo Badalamenti.
I've just discovered this site thanks to my good friend Missi. I know I'd been on it before at some point (there's A LOT of TP sites out there) but she has re-introduced me to it. I'm making it a regular stop now - maybe because I'm in a Lynch mood again (have been ever since buying the Twin Peaks Archive) and this strikes me now as the perfect replacement of the old Wrappped in Plastic magazine I used to subscribe to back in the 90's/early 00's.
And what with all the hazy talk of netflix (or someone) bringing... naw, let's not say it and jinx it. Bob may be listening.
David Lynch & Lykke Li - I'm Waiting Here
First release from the forthcoming new album by Mr. Lynch. Apparently, if you pre-order the record from itunes you get this as an instant free download. Very nice, reminds me of sitting out on the old mining road, watching the sun hang in the air over town but never quite come up.
David Lynch: New Album Teaser
The Big Dream is the new album by David Lynch, to be released on July 16th (July 15th across the pond).

22 years ago tonight on Twin Peaks
I was one of those households and I was forever changed and inspired by that 2 hours. Raise those glasses fellow Peaks fans. (and thanks to Welcome to Twin Peaks and my good friend Missi for the anniversary reminder!!!)
Amoeba Music's What's in my Bag: Jason Mewes
This is a great series. I have to start posting more of them.
King of Leon - Closer (to a new record)
I never was able to get into their last record, but Kings of Leon hold a special place in my heart. 'Holy Roller Novocaine' was on the first mix CD my wife gave me back in '03 when I met here. At that time the band was nobody and had a considerably different, dirtier sound. However, with Because of the Times and Only By the Night they became a much better, moodier band. I'll be curious to hear Mechanical Bull, their forthcoming new record to be released on 9/24.
Deftones - Swerve City Video
Awesome. I'd say that I'd like to see a video for Rosemary next, but I do not think anyone could do justice to the images that song puts in my head. How about Graphic Nature instead?
Rain Room
This is just bizarre. One thing that drives me crazy about living in CA is there is almost NO RAIN EVER.
I quite like the rain.
Queens of the Stone Age on Lettermen
I'm way behind on posting this but it's been a busy couple days catching up on the sleep I need to live.
Video: Sepultura in the Studio
Found these on blabbermouth. Interesting thing, other than hearing Ross Robinson talk is in the first clip you'll see the camera walk over and look out onto the strand in Venice. I was just there! Think I even know exactly where that is (not that I'm gonna go back and try and see, but it's still pretty cool).
I'm not a huge fan of Venice Beach, mainly because it's overpopulated with tourists and... how can I say this delicately? Scum? The outdoor weightlifting station says says it all.
I'm by no means a rabid Sepultura fan - I haven't really followed since Chaos A.D. (though Roots is quite good as well, esp. the track with Patton). I lucked into a promo copy of 2009's A-Lex and it's pretty cool, but overall their just kind of the band I keep a nostalgic eye on in the updates and break out the old stuff when I'm in the mood (Chaos A.D. really is one of the best metal albums of the 90's).
