Making How To Destroy Angels

Found this via Wired this morning.

I'm over my hang-ups with the album - I listened to Welcome Oblivion the other night two or three times in a row while reading Brian Michael Bendis X-Men comics and absolutely LOVED it. (was initially disheartened to find several of the tracks from Dec 2012's An Omen e.p. on the full length as well. I've pretty much just combined them into a giant playlist in Itunes).

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.

Robert Rodriguez's Two Scoops

This is... bizarrely awesome

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.
