Harry Howard and the NDE

Henry Rollins played a song by this band earlier this evening on his radio show and I immediately loved it. Harry Howard is of course the younger brother of the late/great Roland S. Howard. Harry and the NDE's bandcamp is located here. Drop by, it's cool. And if you don't know Rowland here's a little intro to a band he was in with a certain Mr. Cave:

Boards of Canada - Gyroscope

Watching Sinister for the 2nd time in a week made me have to post this. I loved the film anyway, but first time through the fact that out of nowhere one of my favorite BOC songs popped up was a wonderful little surprise that endeared it and the filmmakers to me forever.

Queens of the Stone Age Return in June

Of course the one day I don't check their website is the day it updates and they announce the release of their new record, apparently entitled Like Clockwork, will be in June. If you go to their website, here every time you hit the refresh you'll hear another snippet from the new record. But I do mean snippet. As in a couple of seconds worth. It's cool, but not nearly enough to get me through to June.

More info here at Antiquiet who "broke" the info last night or here at Pitchfork.

Savages - She Will

Looks like I picked a good time to discover this band, as their new album is out in May. This is the first song they've released off of it.

4 Minutes of Ninjas fighting from GIJOE 2

Ain't It Cool News just linked this. I know the first one wasn't a "good" movie, but I dug the hell out of it. Heck, it was like they made one of the old school cartoon episodes into a live action. This one had me the moment I saw this:

They got the mask right!!! And is that Firefly in the background? WOWBOBWOW, as long as they have that I'll even forgive the lack of sexpot The Baroness.
