Nicolas Winding Refn's Only God Forgives

When we went to see Drive two years or so ago it was at my friend Shailesh's recommendation. Shailesh knew I would skip it if he didn't say something. Turns out my wife and I loved it. As we left the theatre that night I kept saying, "Nicolas Winding Refn - where have I heard that name before?" I imdb'd him and realized he was responsible for the film Bronson, which I'd seen a year and some change previously and fallen for so hard that I immediately went out and tried to buy a copy of the DVD the day after the viewing. It'd been a while since a movie like that had come along at that time.

Now this.

"Wanna fight?" - Awesome.

Ataque de Pánico!!! (Evil Dead)

You know, I just put two and two together for the first time. I remember when this short went viral about three years ago - I loved it and the story that followed about how Raimi supposedly flew the creator up to LA from his native Uruguay and put him to work for Ghost House made me even more happy. It reinforced what a great person and outside-the-box filmmaker Raimi is. Flash forward a couple years and Ataque de Pánico! has been off my radar long enough for it never to have dawned on me that this was the same guy directing the Evil Dead remake.

Now I'm even more excited and honestly, I didn't think that was possible.

Evil Dead Talk w/ Fede Alvarez & Jane Levy

Bought my tickets last night for Evil Dead on Friday. I CAN'T WAIT!!! I'm posting this from work - if you watch this you're seeing it before me as my hands are freezing from liquid nitrogen vapor and I've no speakers on this computer. There may be spoilers as far as the franchise. thanks to the always awesome bloodydisgusting for posting this.

Previously Unreleased Mad Season Tracks?

Whoah.

Thanks to mxdwn for this tip off.

CHVRCHES - Now is Not the Time

I keep seeing this group's name but this is the first I've actually took the time to listen. I dig it. Also, the video is a kick for me as my old, old band The Yellow House once rented a roller rink and filmed  a video there. One day that will be on the youtubes and I'll be able to post it.

The Flaming Lips - Ashes in the Air

Today the new Besnard Lakes album comes out, as well as the latest from Jello Biafra and the Guantanamo School of Medicine, which is Mr. Biafra's first concept album - I think - since The Dead Kennedy's Frankenchrist. I say this to help stomach the fact that the new Flaming Lips record - The Terror - isn't out for another two weeks. The video above was just released - I found it on the always diligent Brooklyn Vegan - but was from the  The Flaming Lips and Heady Fwends.
