“B Movie Legend Bruce Campbell is mistaken for his character Ash from the Evil Dead trilogy and forced to fight a real monster in a small town in Oregon.”
Directed by Bruce Campbell.
No release date yet for the film. Caught in distribution hell at the moment.
CBC Radio Two has posted a full concert stream from Tegan and Sara on their Concerts on Demand page.
“Tegan and Sara Quin were born eight minutes apart, in Calgary. When they were teenagers, they entered the “Garage Warz Battle of the Bands” and won.
By the time they left high school, they were already starting to tour and record. The Quin twins went on to record a series of albums, and tour with some very high-profile artists — Neil Young, Rufus Wainwright, Sara McLaughlin’s Lilith fair.
Skip ahead to 2007 — they’ve just released their 5th cd, called “the Con” — and they’re touring all over North America and Australia this fall to promote it. CBC Radio 2 recorded Tegan and Sara here in their hometown at the end of September at the Southern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium.”

Psych! Just kidding, but they are recording at Lucas’ Skywalker Ranch. According to an L.A. Times piece on the compound:
“Outside the theater I see some guys with tattoos and skater-metal hair. It’s the band Rancid, visiting the ranch scoring stage for a three-week album session. (The place has lot of music clients; the Rolling Stones, Herbie Hancock, Faith Hill, Third Eye Blind and Kronos Quartet have recorded here, some looking for the perfect acoustics, others for a studio with no pubs in sight).
As I pass Rancid, they are discussing the vagaries of punk-rock credibility while sipping tea and coffee drinks. I bite my tongue and keep walking.”
Rancid – “Fall Back Down” (from the fiercely underrated Indestructible LP)

Both of these clips were already posted but deleted quickly because youtube sucks. Here they are again in all their comic glory for those that missed out the first time.
After the crushing disappointment that was Justice League: The New Frontier, I find myself unable to get excited for comic book movies right now.
But anyway. Hope this doesn’t suck.
We got trouble, we got to get out of here. I’ve got you, you’ve got me. We are as high as we can be. That’s all right. How did we get into this mess? Pineapple Express!
Director David Gordon Green had this to say -
“Huey Lewis just finished our theme song for us. It is called Pineapple Express, cleverly. Our only input was, we told him we wanted it to sound like his 80s work that we loved so much. And we wanted to have the plot in it. And we wanted to have him say the title as many times as he could. There is a lot of alto sax. It is kind of like that “other” Back to the Future Huey Lewis song. Not “Power of Love” but “Back in Time”. Yeah.”
Pineapple Express opens August 8.
Unfortunately it’s not the Ryan Adams version, just the Sinatra version. It’s still pretty sweet though.
Drillbit Taylor opens March 21.
Nine months after the tragic death of their friend/former drummer John Pike, Ra Ra Riot is still touring in support of their excellent self-titled debut EP.

This track has a strong M.I.A. vibe to it. I found it today on the BIGSTEREO blog. Remix is by XXXChange of Spank Rock fame.

“Huvudet i Sanden” translates to “Head in the Sand.”

But this video, for a track from their new album, is pretty sweet. Incorporating footage from a bizarre and otherworldly bicycle safety film from 1963.
From Make Amends for We Are Merely Vessels due March 11 on FatCat.
