what a day that was

Queens of the Stone Age live stream

From last night, here's an entire 2-hour show where they play their new album plus more in LA...

Chicago's "25 Or 6 To 4" Isolated Parts

via Bobby Owsinski... check out his deconstruction as well.

I love hearing isolated parts from mixes, especially from classic songs. Less editing going on, less retakes, more organic sound.

The Daft Punk Press Problem

The Daft Punk Press Problem: Nostalgia for What?

Haven't listened to the album in its entirety yet, just samples from iTunes. This is an interesting take, as well as this other article that CDM links to: Daft Punk, “Authenticity”, Classism, and Kids Growing Up

Epic bat flip fail

Can't stop watching this... it's too funny.

I love how the first baseman from the other team comforts the guy... Also the tone of the announcer's voice says everything... no translation needed.

More new QOTSA - "Keep Your Eyes Peeled"

Another awesome & gruesome animated clip from the forthcoming Queens of the Stone Age record... I don't dig this as much as the first couple songs I've heard, but I'll let it grow on me. Sounds a bit like second half of Era Vulgaris type stuff.

Don't figure this one getting much radio play. Actually listening to it again just now I'm really liking the sound and the production. This clip is 3 minutes but on the album this is the opening track and it comes in at 5 minutes.

It's been six years since their last record and I cannot fucking wait!

New Michael J Fox show trailer

This... actually looks pretty awesome. So meta it could be in danger of eating its own tail though.

I hope it does well. Plus, Bunk is back!

File under humour...?
