New Tricky: Nice.

I'm not going to lie, I LOVE Maxinquaye, but a lot of the other Tricky I've heard has not interested me at all. Granted, I haven't investigated everything the man has put out, but I tend to prefer the leanings of his one time collaborator extraordinaire Martina Topley-Bird's stuff. But it's been a great day for new release info and I had to click on Brooklyn Vegan's post about False Idols, the forth-coming Tricky record. So far, I'm digging what I'm hearing. Go to the mighty Vegan's post here to listen to another new song, but first here's one of my favorites off the aforementioned Maxinquaye. Oh yeah, go to Tricky's facebook page here and download Tribal Drums for free!!!

Boards of Canada - Mystery Solved

Mucho thanks to Brooklyn Vegan, Pitchfork and all the other great sites that did the research on this night and day and have made me very happy by confirming the following: The new Boards of Canada album is titled Tomorrow's Harvest and will be released June 11th on Warp.

Now, how awesome is this? That mystery string of numbers all those articles I've been linking to since this thing started (699742628315717228936557813386519225)? It's the password to get you into Boards of Canada's new website, here. However I warn you, I was unable to cut and paste that massive string of numbers into the Dos prompt opening page for the site, so write that shit down on paper or toggle some windows, cuz no one's memory is that good.

Awesome. Here's some old school BoC to celebrate. June 11th is just around the damn corner people, get excited!!!

Fuzz (Ty Segall) - Fuzz's Fourth Dream

Baaaaad Ass!

Fantastic Horror Short: Don't Move

Watch this. Seriously, come back here when you have time, or go to Bloody Disgusting here when you've got ten minutes or so to spare. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED.

Thanks to Bloody Disgusting for turning me on to this. Wicked. Directed by Anthony Melton, via Bloody Cuts films, whose website is filled with shorts that I'm now itching to watch. Nice job guys!

Iggy Pop - Calling Sister Midnight

Just ran across this in Sandman: Brief Lives chapter 5. My reading/re-reading Neil Gaiman's Sandman concurrently with Alan Moore's Swamp Thing has shed light on many things, not the least of which has been some great music.

Mike Patton's Mondo Cane - FULL SHOW!!!

Thanks to mxdwn for posting a link to this FULL Mondo Cane show.

How Did I Miss the Trailer for Joss Whedon's Much Ado about Nothing???

And I totally missed this when it landed almost two months ago.

Why is it whenever I hear or see the name of this Shakespeare play I hear or see 'Much to do about Humping' first? I feel like it was on a marquee in an episode of the Simpsons, back in like the fourth or fifth season? Anyone?

UPDATE: and I really have to laugh at myself for posting this originally as "How Did I Miss the Trailer for Joss Whedon's Much to do about Nothing???"

Good lord.
