The Final Gene Ween Recordings

I wanted to post this earlier but I've been having a day where I have to again come to grips with one of my favorite bands being gone. Ween was that important to me - it's going to hit me in waves over and over again for years - until the reunion.

In the meantime you should go here and support Aaron Freeman. He's awesome no matter what form he manifests in.

RIP Nachtmystium

Teaser for Darren Aronofsky's Noah

I'd be lying if I didn't say I'm a little weird about the coming of DA's Noah. The return to big, biblical epics would be something I wouldn't necessarily care too much for and might eat up the time and resources of a lot of directors/actors/actresses/studios that I like if it catches on. Imagine another era of films like The Ten Commandments and such... not going to get me into the theatre. And I quite like going to the theatre. With Aronofsky though, I'll give him the benefit of the doubt - even if my ticket $$$ do eventually contribute to the biblical apocalypse of the theatres I prophesize (kind of) above. But how can't this be magnificent? I mean, Aronofsky's movie about Noah building the arc to survive the great flood was interrupted by... a flood! That's nuts...

David Bowie - Love is Lost

Bowie's visual output this year has been fantastic! Seriously, has he ever made this many videos in a year before? Keep it going Mr. Bowie, and be pre-pared if David Lynch asks you to reprise your role as the long-lost Philip Jefferies ("Well now, I'm not goin' to talk about Judy. In fact, we're not goin' to talk about Judy at all, we're going to keep her out of this.")

This is, of course, the remixed by James Murphy version and I think the arrival of this video answers my confusion a week to two about that other one.

I think.

Thanks to Brooklyn Vegan for this one, tho I'm sure it's everywhere by now.
