Liars - Darkslide

Humor me. Put on some decent headphones and listen to this track, then tell me how you feel with a comment.

Drinking w/ Comics Issue #4

In issue #4 of Drinking w/ Comics Shawn and Mike welcome Sara and Erin, the show's new 'Science Officers". They drink the new Goose Island 312 Urban Pale Ale and wax philosophical about Warren Ellis' new Moon Knight, Garth Ennis' Red Team, Matt Kindt's 3 Story and days gone by when Marvel's New Universe turned a family of four into the amorphous horror known as... Fami-leech! Plus: The threat of Tony Montana makes its presence known!

WEEN - Beacon Light Live

There are days when I miss WEEN so much it hurts. This is one of those days. Listening to Pure Guava, thinking about how awesome this band is.

Carpenter's Classic "The Thing" Recreated w/ GIJOE's?

Yep. And it's awesome. Mr. Brown just sent me a link to an article on buzzfeed where Jack Shepard (assuming it's not the oxy-popping, dying on the island Jack Shepard) posted a link to this almost five years ago. The video itself, done by Simon Gesrel and Xavier Ehretsmann for the band Zombie Zombie, was originally uploaded to youtube in '08, so the question is how have I never seen this before and why does something this amazing only have 77K hits?

Spread the word. This is awesome on every possible level.

Black Lips - Nightmare Field

Look at the Black Lips, with the crazy switchblade choreography! Awesome!

I had started getting into The Black Lips a couple years ago and then kinda forgot about them. Within the last few months however, as internet chatter led up to the March 14th release date of their newest record Underneath the Rainbow, the have once again become ever more interesting to me. Now this video for Nightmare Field, which is the first video since Qui's marvelous Mucho Sex in America to really make me stand up and say, "YES!" Great song, great video.

Via the mighty Mxdwn!

The Conclusion to Garth Ennis and Craig Cermak's Red Team...

...was fantastic. I talk more about it in this week's Thee Comic Column on Joup.

New Trailer for Irvine Welsh's The Filth

I cannot wait for this film. I'm on the fence about re-reading the book - which is, like everything Welsh has ever written, phenomenal - before seeing this. Maybe after? The tone is of the adaptation looks perfect, kind of a cross between Trainspotting and Bronson. And McAvoy is fast becoming a "he's in it? Then I'll see it" kind of actor for me.
