Real Genius? Shamalamadingdong
This is old news to most; it went viral about a month or two ago. I just finally watched it for the first time and LOVED it.
Trailer: Karl Hyde (Underworld) & Kieran Evans' The Outer Edges
A description via Underworld's email/newsletter thingy: "The film tracks a peripheral route from north Essex to the Thames; a journey that follows the flow of the River Roding from its source to its conclusion at Barking Creek and along the Thames Gateway to Tilbury. Stopping off at allotments, boxing clubs, Saturday markets and working men’s clubs, the film celebrates the vibrant energy and attitudes of the people living and working within London’s invisible borders – the unmapped boundaries that Hyde crossed each day to record the album. Cut entirely to a soundtrack made up of deconstructed Edgeland tracks, The Outer Edges offers a fascinating insight into lives lived along the edges of London. The Outer Edges will be premiered at Sonar Sound in Tokyo on April 7th, and then released as part of the Edgeland CD/DVD package on April 22nd."
TV on The Radio Perform Dreams w/ Peter Murphy & Trent Reznor
Wow. Mr. Brown sent this to me a week or so ago and I've just gotten around to seeing it.
Wow.
Murphy's voice @ 1:51.
The Pink Skulls Cover Bela Lugosi's Dead
I've been meaning to post this for about two weeks. After my Bauhaus jag two weekends ago my friend Jeffrey threw this at me - fantastic! Jeffrey is one of the fine folks who run just about my favorite recording studio ever, Apocalypse Cow. If you're in the Midwest and looking to record, contact these folk.
The Robert Rodriguez-penned Curandero
I'd never heard of this until the trailer popped up after something I watched recently on bloody disgusting. From the Mind of Robert Rodriguez obviously was a great way to set-up the appropriately sparse images of this trailer for an apparently "lost" film that premiered at some festivals back in 2005 but has been in limbo since. It finally received VOD and DVD release recently and definitely looks worth a watch.
New Order - Crystal
I woke up with this song on my mind. It makes me think of my friend Joe Grez and the first time I heard the song, in Dublin with him at the wonderful Whelan's venue. We saw a couple great bands that night, New Prayer Breakfast and the inimitable Daemian Frost, who I really need to get on the ball, rip their ep and post it. SOOOOOO awesome.
