Grasshopper! The Movie

So a big, fun part of the H.P. Lovecraft filmfest is always the shorts. This year we missed a small portion of them, but all of the ones we did see were great. One though stood out above all the rest. Grasshopper! The Movie. Find this WHEREVER you can and watch it, it's that good.

One Song: Protection on Milk Magazine Now

Well-respected Chicago Magazine Milk has gone online and I've got an article on it! I've wanted to do a series of pieces I call "One Song" for some time. The essential idea is I take one song and talk about it in relation to the world around me. First up, Massive Attack's Protection, the dark, brooding title track of the band's 1994 second album of the same name. Read One Song: Protection on Milk here. Then stick around the site and do some more reading. Some marvelous writing therein.

Shaolin Wooden Men - Mirror Ball of Death

Holy cow! The Loved Ones - a fantastic Australian horror flick my friend Missi showed me this evening.

The Ocean Has a Video and a Film (NSFW)

I totally missed out on the fact that there is a version of The Ocean's Pelagial record that comes with a film shot to the length of the album (a 53:13 long song they were unfortunately forced to break into pieces when I saw them live at Summer Slaughter). Apparently I also missed the fact that they released a music video a few months ago for Bathyalpelagic II. A big, hearty thank you to Metal Sucks for bringing all this to my attention. Read their articles here and here.
