BRMC's "Specter At The Feast"

Beginnging at the end of December Black Rebel Motorcycle Club began releasing teasers for their forthcoming record "Specter At The Feast"

I am excited.This is the third of six teasers (three more still to come). They're cool, but they won't give you the feeling of how awesome a Rock n Roll band they are. This will:

In writing a forthcoming piece on Swans I stumbled across this little gem over on Self-Titled Magazine's page. Click here for write-up/track listing. Super Awesome and thank you kindly to these fine folks at Self-Titled!!!

While I've been off writing for my friend's magazine Joup I realized how much I've neglected my blog when I found that I had not posted anything on it since the video for Liars' No. 1 Against the Rush dropped in June.

June!!!

Anyway, while I work up some content here's my favorite music video EVER (only slightly hyperbolic of a statement there). The video's director, Matthew Robinson, has some great content on vimeo you can link from here.

Say it ain't so WEEN...

I spent much of the week disconnected from the world at large and after a particularly rough Friday, June 1st I succombed to the medicine of sleep at an uncharacteristically early 8 PM and slept the deep, restorative sleep of the over-worked. When I awoke this morning I logged into the virtual world and toured around my usual sites in an attempt to see what I'd missed over the last several days. It was on one of my favorite of those sites – a marvelous blog entitled Heaven is an Incubator – where I came across the news that one of my all-time favorite bands, Ween, had called it quits.

Not a good way to start the day.

It's no surprise really, and although it saddens me deeply I must say that if this is what Aaron Freeman, aka Gene Ween needs to do at this stage in his life, then I am happy he made the decision and support it fully. Still... it's been five years since WEEN's last album proper – La Cucaracha – and I would be lying if I didn't admit that there is a very large part of me that really wanted one last record before this finality which, if I'm being honest, is really not that much of a surprise.

If you're a music lover and you don't know WEEN I implore you ...
