Wanna Know what Jason Newsted's been up to?

I had to post this before I'd even listened to it just because Newsted is the only person to make it out of metallica alive who doesn't seem to be full of shit. Much props to Robert Turjillo who totally deserves the success of being in a band as huge as the aforementioned band that should not be but Newsted obviously just became fed up with the bullshit of the other three and left. Glad to see him making music.

Brian Eno Doc - Imaginary Landscapes

Thank you to Warren Ellis who tweeted this today.

Tomahawk - Oddfellows Video

Perhaps my favorite song off the new record, although White Hats/Black Hats and Southpaw are up there as well.

Upstream Color - The Score

Shane Carruth put the score to his upcoming film Upstream Color - the follow-up to his BRILLIANT Primer - on his soundcloud page today. Go to see it here.

I posted the trailer for Upstream color about a month or so ago but here it is again because I just CANNOT wait to see this movie!!!

Black Sabbath in the Studio

I have no illusions that "13" - 3/4ths of the original Black Sabbath's first record since the late 70's - will be good, but hopefully I'm wrong. Sabbath's original "Ozzy" years are among the most cherished albums I've encountered in my lifetime, but you know - you can't go home again. The band released a song sometime in the late 90's, I believe it was called psycho man and it was so terrible I'd prefer not to even look it up to confirm that. I'd prefer you abstain from doing the same.

The reunion is not complete as Bill Ward isn't involved, but I can't say the idea of Iommi, Butler and Ozzy recording a new record doesn't intrigue me at least a little bit, thus the video above. You never know. (yes you do!).

Ghost Becomes Ghost BC, New Album 4/09

Seriously, what is with all the April release dates this year? I mean, it's usually a music heavy month, or at least has been for the last couple of years, but this is getting ridiculous.

Exclaim.ca tipped me off to the fact that due to "leagal reasons' Ghost have changed their name to Ghost B.C. The newly christened band will release their new record - Infestissumam - on April 9th via Loma Vista Recordings.
