Ryan Gunwitch Black's Kickstarter for his independently created comic Tension. Looks outstanding. He keeps a great blog here.

The Muppets Perform Slayer's Behind the Crooked Cross

Still reeling from the loss of Jeff Hanneman earlier in the week I went looking for some clips and found this. Amazing!

Hilarious! Reggae Version of megadeaf's symphony of destruction

This is amazing!!! Mr. Brown just sent this to me, immdiately upon hearing it I knew I had to repost it for everyone's comedy enjoyment. I HATE megadeth. I HATE dave mustaine (not mortal hate, but you know, he's just such a fuckin' wanker). I especially HATE everything from this stupid album, the album where he looked at metallica's then newfound commercial success and said, "ME TOO! ME TOO!". At least w/ larsy-poo and crew you can see how, after making a technical masterpiece like ... And Justice for All, who wouldn't want to step back a bit and simplify the operation. You know, call in a big producer like Bob Rock and have a go at it. But Mustaine, ugh. countdown to irrelevancy is such a forced attempt. And he drew up the characature he would enforce as his brand logo and even went so far as to go back and re-record the vocals for the four good (and two magnificent) albums he'd created up to that point. metallica might have sold out, but mustaine became a fucking whore and now twenty years down the line the responsibility of that has eaten away his brain and caused him to become a complete right-wing fruitloop. And as such, when I see people lob intelligent criticism or witty insults his way, I laugh and give a thumbs up. That's what we have here. Nice work Andy Rehfeldt, nice work.

Johnny Marr & Andy Rourke Perform How Soon is Now?

Whoah.

You can get the full details about this show on Brooklyn Vegan here.

If you listen to the excited roar of the crowd at about 0:47 secs, just as Marr introduces Rourke, you can hear the fact dawning on them they are about to witness something amazing. I admit - I'm not usually one for reunions and I only got into the Smiths about five years ago, but once I 'discovered' them they became one of my favorite bands of all time. Just hearing this while I type is giving me chills. And of course this track is a classic - even before being a Smiths fan this one meant something to me.

I'd still wager no matter what we'll never see these guys joined by a certain Mr. Morrissey, so this is probably as close as we're ever going to get.

But then, I've been wrong many times in my life. I'd like to be wrong about that.

Thanks to Brooklyn Vegan for posting this and making my day pretty much within moments of my waking up.

Massive Attack - Be Thankful for What You Got

Massive Attack - what more is there to say. And there's nothing more to post, cuz I'm out. This feels like a good way to wind down another Saturday night.

Underworld - Pearl's Girl (LIVE)

Not just my favorite Underworld song, but one of my favorite songs period.
