I've always found Boris to be so hit-or-miss. If it werent' for Pink, I'd probably have written them off. They're one of those bands that I'm having to constantly adjust the volume because they'll have three minutes of static or hushed ambient noodling and then they'll redline with the noise.
Genghis Tron and Meshuggah are also 'out there' and they're pretty good.

I watched DIG last night on my pc through Netflix.
It was funny how their modestly attractive lead singer seemed to view himself as much more physically attractive than he actually is.

The all-over-the-placeness of their albums is one thing I always liked about them. This one is like that probably more than any other. There's a track on here that sounds like they gave it to Merzbow to play with after they recorded it followed by an almost completely acoustic ballad. :)
New Genghis Tron leaked last night, by the way. Still yet to hear it.

A new Tindersticks album, The Hungry Saw, has been leaked. Didn't even know they had a new one out, but I'm quite happy that they do. Am in the process of getting it so we'll see if it's new material or a compilation or something.

I was just going to ask whether anyone has heard it. Bought tix to the show solely based on what their myspace page has to offer. Am dying to find out what the rest of it sounds like.

Can't say I am looking forward to it, but apparently Scarlett Johansson is releasing an album of Tom Waits covers.
February 12, 2008, 6:30 PM ET
Jonathan Cohen, N.Y.
Scarlett Johansson unveiled her debut album, "Anywhere I Lay My Head," for journalists today (Feb. 12) at New York's Joe's Pub. As previously reported, the album includes 10 Tom Waits covers and one original ("Song for Jo"), and will be released May 20 via Atco/Rhino.
"Anywhere" was produced by TV On The Radio's Dave Sitek, who told the crowd he was going for a "cough medicine/Tinker Bell" vibe, sound-wise. David Bowie, whom Johansson met a party just prior to beginning work on the album, lends his distinctive vocals to the tracks "Falling Down" and "Fannin' Street," while Yeah Yeah Yeahs guitarist Nick Zinner and members of the band Celebration contribute throughout.
Johansson said she initially considered making an album of standards, but that the project slowly morphed into a Waits-dominated affair. "His melodies are so beautiful and his voice is so distinct," she said.
The result, according to Johansson, has met with the notoriously persnickety Waits' approval. "I sent him some of the early, early recordings, and he said, 'Go ahead,'" she said. "I've heard he's very pleased."
While the majority of the album lives up to Sitek's prior description, there are some up-tempo departures, particularly on "I Don't Want To Grow Up," which boasts drum machine beats straight out of a New Order song.
There are no plans for Johansson to perform live in support of the project, but she says she'd be intrigued by "getting everybody together," perhaps at a festival, at some point in the future. "It would be a missed opportunity not to."
Here is the track list for "Anywhere I Lay My Head":
"Fawn"
"Town With No Cheer"
"Falling Down"
"Anywhere I Lay My Head"
"Fannin' Street"
"Song for Jo"
"Green Grass"
"I Wish I Was in New Orleans"
"I Don't Want To Grow Up"
"No One Knows I'm Gone"
"Who Are You?"

I guess she's saving her version of 'Sixteen Shells From a 30:06' for a b-side

Not exactly an album but this new Sir Richard Bishop dvd sounds like a barrel of family-friendly fun.
â??For centuries, man has used organized religion to control the hearts and minds (not to mention the pocketbooks) of the ignorant masses. Well, Richard Bishop
has decided he would like a piece of the action.
This film is a diabolical experiment in hypnotic mind controlâ??a phantasmagoric presentation of demonic and divine imagery, meticulously assembled and designed
to put the viewer into an altered state of darkened awareness. Includes original music from Elektronika Demonika, as well as unreleased material.
If you ever wanted to go to hell and back, this film will get you halfway there. Some viewers may find the imagery used in this film to be disturbing, but
thatâ??s the idea. Contains some strong sexual content (as all true religion should). Not for the weak-minded, faint of heart, or those suffering from occasional
seizures.â?
A DC public screening would be stellar.

Because everyone assumes it will show up at about the same time as Chinese Democracy and Godot.
