Palms - Patagonia

I've seen Palms name bandied about on various music sites recently but hadn't paid attention at all really. Now I see Chino from the Deftones and a bunch of the guys from Isis are in it. I'm not familiar with Isis at all. I know this is probably a major overlook on my part, they've been on my list for some time, I just haven't gotten to them yet. But I've always dug Chino, and especially after Koi No Yokan being my album of the year last year, and a record I still ADORE, Moreno's name made Palms shoot to the top of my list. Thanks again to bloodydisgusting and go below for a listen to another Moreno side project that I LOVE, Team Sleep.

Todd and the Book of Pure Evil Kickstarter

I've still only seen the first four episodes of season 1, so I'm not even watching this video yet to avoid the spoilers. Thanks to Bloodydisgusting for posting this. I'd imagine moving forward the only way anything is going to get made is with a kickstarter campaign first, to prove to deeper pocket investors that there's interest. While that's fine for pre-established artists/franchises, that's gonna suck for newcomers.

RIP Jeff Mother Fucking Hanneman

I came home to find Pelagial, the new album by The Ocean had arrived, and my wonderful wife had purchased me the Twin Peaks Archive (another post coming on that) but the second I heard this terrible news about Hanneman I knew exactly what was going on the stereo.

My three favorite Slayer songs from various eras. Spirit in Black features what is one of my favorite guitar solos of ALL TIME and it's Jeff playing it at about 1:43






And a great interview with Hanneman and Araya from 1986!!! (which also has a live version of Hell Awaits in the middle of it).

Nachtmystium - No Funeral

From the album Addicts: Black Meddle Part II. I am really into this band right now.

New Wolverine Trailer

Can't. Wait.

New Tricky: Nice.

I'm not going to lie, I LOVE Maxinquaye, but a lot of the other Tricky I've heard has not interested me at all. Granted, I haven't investigated everything the man has put out, but I tend to prefer the leanings of his one time collaborator extraordinaire Martina Topley-Bird's stuff. But it's been a great day for new release info and I had to click on Brooklyn Vegan's post about False Idols, the forth-coming Tricky record. So far, I'm digging what I'm hearing. Go to the mighty Vegan's post here to listen to another new song, but first here's one of my favorites off the aforementioned Maxinquaye. Oh yeah, go to Tricky's facebook page here and download Tribal Drums for free!!!

Boards of Canada - Mystery Solved

Mucho thanks to Brooklyn Vegan, Pitchfork and all the other great sites that did the research on this night and day and have made me very happy by confirming the following: The new Boards of Canada album is titled Tomorrow's Harvest and will be released June 11th on Warp.

Now, how awesome is this? That mystery string of numbers all those articles I've been linking to since this thing started (699742628315717228936557813386519225)? It's the password to get you into Boards of Canada's new website, here. However I warn you, I was unable to cut and paste that massive string of numbers into the Dos prompt opening page for the site, so write that shit down on paper or toggle some windows, cuz no one's memory is that good.

Awesome. Here's some old school BoC to celebrate. June 11th is just around the damn corner people, get excited!!!
