Comments on this: none yet. Add your own.  The new Cirque du Soleil show in Vegas, Love, has tickets on sale now with shows starting June 2nd. This show is based on the music and lyrics of The Beatles, so it's a bit of departure from your regular Cirque show. We understand it will still be filled with people who are so unbelievably fit and buff and able to do crazy shit with their bodies that you'll swear they were all grown in a vat up at Cirque HQ in Montreal. But that is an unsubstantiated rumor upon which we cannot comment further. Cirque appears to be taking over Vegas like Starbucks is taking over the rest of the world. They have, what, five shows there now? I'm going to need to sell both my kidneys to be able to see the shows at this point. Maniacs. Categorized as: Music

Comments on this: none yet. Add your own.  Blind Roosevelt Graves. It's so nice to hear a song about Jesus that doesn't make me break out in hives. "Woke Up This Morning (with my mind on Jesus)" can be found via the excellent Pre-War Blues. Dropbass. Somebody combined "Work It Out" with Tomoyasu Hotei's song "Battles Without Honor or Humanity," which is apparently actually called just something like "Theme from 'Another Battle'". This mashup should not work. And it does. And that fills me with dread for all mankind. Found via The Pop View. Metric. Lots of songs to enjoy by this group--never heard of them before. Myself, I'm partial to "Calculation Theme," which is pretty much everything I want to write about in my next straight fiction novel. Scary when that happens. "I'm sick, you're tired, let's dance." Wonderful. Found via out the other... The band's official website. Buy Old World Underground, Where Are You Now? from Amazon. And let's talk about two bands at once here. Part of my problem with Godspeed! You Black Emperor is the fact that, to me, their songs feel like they last as long as the Wagner Ring Cycle, and there will be only bits of each individual song that I like. And because I'm a lazy bastard, I just can't bring myself to cut out the really cool part from 28 Days Later that was taken from their song "East Hastings," for example. Categorized as: Music

Comments on this: none yet. Add your own. We don't often smack you with music videos. Because, really, 95% don't interest us in the least. However, animated bunnies + wrong = gold. So enjoy. Direct link for the feedreaders. The song is "Everyone Else Has Had More Sex Than Me," by TISM. We weren't familiar with them, so checking out that Wikipedia article we learned: "After their first show, the 'Get Fucked' concert at the Duncan McKinnon Athletics Reserve in Murrumbeena, December 6, 1983 TISM split up. Every gig since has been a reunion concert." Genius. Categorized as: Music

Comments on this: 85 so far. Add your own.  On Cypress Avenue has posted the new leaked Tool single, "Vicarious." It starts off sounding like typical Tool, like something right off of Lateralus, but by the end it gets so freaking heavy that space starts to bend around it for God's sake. Very, very nice. Pre-order the album 10,000 Days here. Update: We're getting hammered from all directions on this post. Thanks to everyone for coming and joining us in our love of music that grinds you into a fine powder, sticks you in a bag, and steeps you for its tea. But enough about tea...stick around and have some coffee! Update: I've been inspired to convert my review of Salival into Wordpress out of the archives. Enjoy, amigos. Categorized as: Music
