New Pelican!!!

There's a bunch of info on the upcoming album and tour on Brooklyn Vegan. I dig these guys, and this new record will be released on the mighty Southern Lord records! How's that?

McRad - MyWeakness/McShred

A 20-something year mystery is ended. McRad.

Bones Brigade Video 4: Public Domain

Holy crap - I am STOKED that I found this. At Mr. Brown's suggestion my wife and I just watched the Bones Brigade Autobiography documentary. Brought a damn tear to my eye. And Rodney Mullen - I knew he was WOW as a skater, but WOWWOW as a person as well. All those guys.

Twin Peaks Season Three Twitter Account.

So I really like this: a twitter account that's titled Twin Peaks Season 3 - it's a wonderful bullet point fan fiction for season three. The whole 140 characters or less really helps this play in a way that doesn't suffer the usual baggage of fan fiction (not all, but a lot) and this guy (or girl) really has the tone down. It's not perfect, but it's close and the few times they step out of the tone it works too.

Obnoxious and Anonymous Video Interview w/ Jen Lynch

I have no idea when I'm going to find the time to watch this, but that doesn't mean I can't share it!!!

Poststardom Depression - What You See is What You Get

This band haunts me. Another great find of my wife's, back in '05 shortly before we moved across country. Little bit of Stereophonics, little Queens, but entirely their own thing. There's a fuzzy debauchery that hangs over the album this is on, Prime Time Looks A Lot Like Amateur Night, the entirety of which is every bit as fantastic as this one track. Need to hunt down Jeff Angell's other bands, The Missionary Position and Walking Paper, the latter of which also features Barrett Martin of Mad Season and Screaming Trees, Duff McKagan and contributions by Mike McCready (according to good 'ol wikipedia).

Jacques Renault

About a year and a half, maybe two years ago I get set to go into the grocery one night. I'm by myself and it's the first time I ever think to throw my headphones in while shopping. Seems a bit weird, but what the hell, every moment with music is a moment grand. I scroll through my ipod and right hand to Maude I see the name Jacques Renault. It's a techno song (to use a super generic label because I'm tired). I listen and it's pretty damn awesome. I repeat it a second time while I shop. I have no idea how this artist or song came to be on my ipod (this isn't it - I'll find it and post it). But then I remember what became of Jacques. I remember my former roommate Tim almost beating the actor who portrayed him in Twin Peaks, Walter Olkewicz's ass. I remember Leland, duck-taping his wrist to the side of the bed. I remember...

So this is what he's been up to since Leland played "Pillow Face" with him? Cool beans. Glad to see he's made something of himself. Slimmed down a might too. Visit his soundcloud page here and check out some more cool stuff.
