National Twin Peaks Day!!!

So I had no idea but today is apparently national Twin Peaks day. Thank You to my good friend Missi for informing me of this. To celebrate I'm sitting in a coffee shop, drinking damn good black coffee and thinking about maybe stopping at the market afterward to buy a pie. The above picture is from a website I just found called Welcome to Twin Peaks. It's pretty awesome.

Back in 2000 Mr. Brown, myself and our friends Two Foot and The Cap'm drove across country, from Chicago to the areas where the show was filmed. It was the - I believe - sixth year of the event. We got to drink and hang out with some of the stars and I watched my friend Two Foot threaten to beat Jacques Renault's ass (the guy was a dick - probably from Leo kicking his ass all the time). Some day I'll right it all down, it was pretty odd, as a Twin Peaks fest should be.

They are having a new iteration of the festival this year. You can read about it/book tickets here. I'm not one hundred percent certain this event is put on by the same folks who did the one we went to - the guys who used to publish the wonderful and strange Wrapped in Plastic magazine, but it'd probably still be a cool event to go to. Especially because Washington state is just so damn beautiful.

Godspeed You! Black Emperor

The first track on this ep by GY!BE - Moya - hits me so hard sometimes I just want to collapse.

New Queens of the Stone Age Single!!!

ABOUT DAMN TIME!!! Seriously though, I don't hold the wait against the band - in fact I think the way they've played this whole thing is great. It's really not easy to cultivate mystique these days, what with the interwebs and all, but they did.

Anyway, I posted the live version that went around from Lollapalooza Brazil a couple weeks ago but here's the album version. Enjoy!

New Ghost B.C. track

So, brooklyn vegan  has a new track from Infestissumam, the new album by Ghost B.C. (formerly Ghost). Go here to hear that.

Above I've posted some new stuff from the album as well. Infestissumam is out TOMORROW so if you dig what you hear, go buy it, or pre-order it on the band's website here.

Aintitcool's Bruce Campbell Q&A

Hot-off the heels of my Friday night viewing of Evil Dead - which I LOVED and most definitely is NOT a remake - I'm still reeling with all things Evil and Dead. Thus, I thought I'd post this little gem that the always awesome and informative (and fun!) Aintitcoolnews posted recently.

Moderat II

Moderat II is available for pre-order from Monkeytownrecords here for the limited edition LP or here for the deluxe CD edition here, actually ships July 26th. Can't wait.

In anticipation here's a live clip I found on their website.

Bauhaus - Live 1984/Shadow of Light

Fantastic set was my reaction upon initially posting this, however it's not a set - there's set footage, but this is apparently a video release I'd never seen before. The video is described on amzon thusly:

"Two previously released VHS's together on one DVD. Contains all the Bauhaus promotional videos as well as live performances recorded at the Old Vic Theatre in London in 1982"
