tuesday tomorrow

tomorrow is tuesday. i am in my new place. i don't really have great internet here. i am on my girlfriend's laptop. or it is on me. on my lap. my local sportscaster is trying to be jim rome right now. these are the thoughts that qualify me to be a blogger.

music is out tomorrow!
polysics - we ate the machine/karate house. vinyl of their last 2 releases, which hadn't hit the US yet. polysics are AMAZING.
original silence - the second original silence. this is something. thurston moore, jim o'rourke, terrie ex, and some more folks, it's just a bunch of noise/jazz brilliant minds making some noise/jazz.
the verve - forth
bb king - one kind flavor
eva cassidy - somewhere
dragonforce - ultra beatdown
v/a - motown collection. some 10 disc box set, i don't know if it's rare stuff or what.
matthew sweet - sunshine lies. vinyl comes with 4 bonus tracks AND a free cd of the music

dvds are also out tomorrow!
*salo, or the 120 days of sodom. so messed up. so, so messed up. but oh so essential. criterion.
*cannibal holocaust
*the nightmare before christmas. some fancy edition.

moving

i am now packing up my computer to move far, far away to the suburbs.

i may or may not be able to get on the internet at my new home.

see ya

oh wait, something happened today. not just tomorrow.

pretend this post was on monday.  i just checked my email.

everything that happens will happen today.  or at least something has happened today.  the digital release of everything that happens will happen today, the first collaboration between david byrne and brian eno in 30 years!  it is pretty great, from what i've heard so far.  here is a player with a streaming song or maybe the whole album or something:

there's a link there, but FYI you can get the album at everythingthathappens.com

here are the options:

*digital only (boo!) is $8.99.  you get 320kbps MP3s, DRM-free and a 17 page digital lyric booklet.

*CD + Digital is $11.99 +S&H.  you get the above plus a physical CD that will ship by november 30th.

*Deluxe Package is $69.99+S&H!  you get the above plus four exclusive bonus songs, a short film about the album by Hillman Curtis, a screensaver, and a miniature hardbound book.

you can also get it in FLAC lossless format if you wish.  i'm not sure if it costs any more.

i'm going with the $11.99 package.  Even though shipping is $3 more.  boo.

tuesmorrow

so, what's hitting stores that you can buy tomorrow and be cooler than all your friends?

i don't know! let's find out!

MUSIC

*Men Without Pants - Naturally.  it's the latest Dan the Automator project!  He teams up with Blues Explosion drummer Russell Simins.  dig it.

*Lykke Li - Youth Novels.  is this the first time this album has been available in the states?  I could be wrong but I think so.  Too tired to look it up.

*Brainiac - Hissing Prigs in Static Couture.  vinyl reissue of this CLASSIC AWESOME ALBUM that YOU NEED TO HEAR IF YOU HAVE NOT BEFORE.

*Brian Wilson - That Lucky Old Sun.  I LOVE that this is out on vinyl this week and not coming out on CD for a couple more weeks.  Suck it, non-vinyl-enthusiasts!

*Dandy Warhols - Earth to the Dandy Warhols.  I hope you got the free remix ep thing at your local record store!

*Don Caballero - Punkgasm.  They are still good, aren't they?  Even though Battles is better?  Don Cab bring something to the table still, don't they?  somebody tell me!

*GZA - Pro Tools

*Ice Cube - Raw Footage.  on Amazon people are saying it's "terrible" so yeah, don't bother I guess.  I dunno, I'm not gonna bother.

*Jim O'Rourke - Long Night.  2 1/2 hours of electric drone work!  can you handle it?  can you EVEN handle it?  He produced this back in 1990 but this is its first release.  I don't know if i can even handle it, to tell you the truth.

*Shwayze - Shwayze.  ha ha.  i TOTALLY met him at sxsw last year.  sorta.  filmed an interview with him, met him, same thing.

*George Jones -  Burn Your Playhouse Down: The Unreleased Duets.  nice.  nothin' like a classic country duet.

*The Walkmen - You & Me.  Pitchfork is way into this album.

*Lagwagon - I Think My Older Brother Used To Listen To Lagwagon. EP.  best title of the year.

*The Uglysuit - The Uglysuit. quarterstick!

damn. that's a lot of stuff this week.  did i miss anything in my hunt?

DVD

*House season 4

*Dexter season 2

*Twenty-Four Eyes

*The Small Back Room

*Miss Pettigrew Lives For A Day

good stuff.  

new mercury rev

you can hear a song off the new mercury rev album here.  i like it.

you can also pre-order the new album from yep roc records.  includes vinyl.  and remember, if you purchase online from yep roc, you get a free download of what you bought right away (including vinyl).  well, if it's not out yet (like this album) you don't get the download until it's out.  but still, how exciting is that????

and don't forget to sign up for the mercury rev mailing list so you can get the supplemental album for free.

tuesday morrow

reverse order.

video: 

*Brand Upon the Brain! (criterion) - this looks friggin awesome.  i don't know much of anything about it, but i certainly should.

*ninja cheerleaders - what?

*smart people

*south park - season 11

musicality:

*songs for tibet

*the complete motown singles vol. 10: 1970

*janelle monae - metropolis: the chase suite ep - she was the standout on the mostly-disappointing outkast album idlewild.  she was AWESOME on that.  anyway, this is her debut, produced by big boi.  nice.

*inara george & van dyke parks - an invitation

is that it?

hey guys, check out crystal antlers if you haven't already.  they are the newest band on touch & go.  i like it a lot.

tuesday tomorrow is tomorrow

i've been working lots of overtime this week, and i am looking forward to a big ol' paycheck in about a week and a half.  which is good, because i'll have to pay off quite the credit card bill due to stuff coming out tomorrow!  it's mostly vinyl issues of albums that were already out, but that's how i like my stuff.

MUSIC

*conor oberst - s/t.  this is more something my girlfriend would like, but it should be noted.  also on vinyl.

*DeVotchKa - a mad and faithful telling VINYL.  i have been putting off getting this album, just waiting for the vinyl.  it took long enough!

*the faint - fascination.  yes it's on vinyl too.  i'm not sure about this one, i'll have to read more reviews and such before i decide.

*nas - untitled VINYL

*CSS - donkey VINYL

*jonathan richman - because her beauty is raw and wild VINYL

*smoking popes - stay down.  i'm confused, is this already out?  i know it came out on itunes already, but that doesn't count because itunes music store is bs.  anyway, if it's not already out, it's out tomorrow, it's their first album since they got back together, and the reviews are very positive and if you love the band like i do, you already know you are getting it (or you already have it).

D-V-D

*pete seeger: the power of song.  this was playing forever at the new local awesome theater right when it opened, and i always meant to see it but i never did.  and here it is.

*starship troopers 3: marauder  bad reviews!  but who knows.  i never saw the second one either.  do the reviewers that hate it so realize it's supposed to be campy?

*the counterfeiters. won an academy award for best foreign language film
