Wrekmeister Haromonies

Heading out to LA's Echoplex to see Author & Punisher, Corrections House and Wrekmeister Harmonies in a little while. I had never heard of Wrekmeister before, and it was by sheer luck I happened to remember that there was a third band on tonight's bill and, you know, I should probably do a little research before heading out so I knew what I was in store for.

Man am I glad I did that research. I would hate to think that I could have missed this, Chicago's J.R. Robinson's installation-like project you can read all about on Invisible Oranges here (great article by Brad Sanders, btw).

You can buy this wonderful piece of music from Thrilljockey here and there's a great live performance on member/contributer Chris Brokaw's bandcamp.

Liars - A Ring on Every Finger

In preparing for that forthcoming new Liars record I dug out the band's previous records and while punching around on the ol' youtubes found that they had released a music video for A Ring On Every Finger that I was completely unaware of. Liars videos are always an event, and this is no exception.

Mike Patton & Sepultura - Procura O Cara

David Lynch & John Neff - Mountains Falling

From the BLUEBOB album that David Lynch did with John Neff, also featured on the ST to Mulholland Drive. There's a journey in this song that pulls me right up and out of myself.

And More Good News - The Veronica Mars trailer is here!

I may have related this here before, but my wife was into Veronica Mars before I was. The first time she got into it, buying the season sets and binge-watching it over the course of what probably amounted to only a few weeks back circa 2007 I kind of dismissed the show. Not really sure why. Then maybe two years ago I had this weird itch while looking at the sets on the shelf and said, "Hey, do you think I'd like this?" We watched the three seasons in rapid succession and I was stoked. While all three years of the show are great the first season ranks as probably my number three of all time  - that list by the way, goes: 1) Breaking Bad, 2) Twin Peaks, 3) Veronica Mars ssn 1.

Anyway, to say my wife and I have been waiting for this movie with a high level of anticipation would be an understatement. We contributed what we could to the kickstarter and now all VM fans stand to reap the rewards!

New Pixies E.P/Video

I woke up at 4:30 AM this morning and saw an email from The Pixies' newsletter that they released a new 4-song EP and this video for Blue Eyed Hexe. I've waited ALL DAY to listen to this. Now I am happy.
