Lordi Lordi Lordi

This is funny as hell. I wasn't able to watch the entire interview, not much of it at all really, but I laughed my ass off just watching the every day mannerisms of these guys in their costumes. The guy on the couch RULES!!! Lordi obviously wear the Gwar influence on their sleeve but that's not necessarily a bad thing. I know nothing about Lordi, though I've seen their name a million times. I found this interview on Blabbermouth followed by the video for a track off their new album. Not too bad as bombastic anthem metal is concerned, though it's not really my thing. It seemed well worth posting though, just for the entertainment value:



And as long as we're doing this, let's go for some Gwar as well:

The Knife - A Tooth For An Eye

Another track released with another great video from The Knife's upcoming Shaking the Habitual (4/9). I love this trend of videos completely undermining expectations set by the tone of the track and this is a perfect example of just that! All hail The Knife!!!

Wire - Love Bends

I found this on Brooklyn Vegan this evening: Love Bends is a streaming glimpse into the unreleased material available on the upcoming (3/25) Change Becomes Us anthology album.

Ozzy Osbourne - No More Tears

Ozzy-era Sabbath (as if there was any other) is still a staple for me but I gave up on his solo career in high school. It's fun to go back and hear Tribute every once in a while, but I don't think most of that stuff holds up for me. 75% of the No More Tears album does though, including the title track which is simply one giant goddamn awesome rock song!!!

(interestingly enough I could ONLY find it on youtube with Spanish subtitles, but then again I'm not the most savvy of interweb searchers)

FIDLAR - Max Can't Surf II: The Zuk Trip

Brad Anderson's The Call

I'm not a Halle Berry fan. Not at all. When I first saw the billboards for this one going up around town I grimaced and thought, 'there's a movie I'll never see'. Well, I was wrong. Did I change my opinion of Ms. Berry? No, not really. But what did happen is I found out that The Call was directed by Brad Anderson and any thing with him at the helm I see. Session 9 was fantastic, The Macinist was fantastic, and Transsiberian... well, that's just a masterpiece in my eyes*. So even though Ms. Berry's the star, I'm in.

* And looking through his imdb just now I realize I missed 2010's Vanishing on 7th Street, so now I have that to look forward to. Nice!
