Terrible (and unnecessary) upcoming remakes: Rosemary's Baby (produced by Michael Bay's Platinum Dunes) Suspiria (by Italian production company First Sun) The Seven Samurai (produced by the Weinsteins) Straw Dogs (by Director Rod Lurie of "Resurrecting The Champ" & "The Contender") Rififi...

Not to mention the Tribes of Neurot "Adaptation & Survival" project consisting of multiple 7" inches of insect sounds processed and unprocessed designed to be played simultaneously, one at a time or in whatever combination you desire. That is, if listening to swarms of insects angrily buzzing...

Probably for the best...really the fewer encounters with rogue Shoggoths the better IMHO.

Maybe some of you UK folk can shed some light on this ill-advised venture...so Hammer Films returns after aeons away for the simple reason of unleashing this: Somewhere in England presents Beyond The Rave on an unsuspecting world? A little part of my childhood just curled up and died.

Amen...was listening to his verse on Ghostface's "The Sun" over the weekend and it reminded me of just how amazing he still is. Is there bootleg copies of his unreleased album floating around anywhere? I'd love to hear something more recent from him.

It's a completely and totally different beast...unrecognizable. It's vaguely surreal watching the film as the names of some of the oil workers are included from the book but attached to characters nothing like their literary counterparts. The relationship between the oilman and the preacher in...

I think that honour might actually go to Varghkoghargasmal, but I could be wrong...

Listening to the album right now, and it's really quite good...don't know what everyone's so up in arms about. What's wrong with "Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa" or "M79"? The later is actually one of the more interesting pop tunes I've heard in a while. Only midway through, though, so maybe I should...

Really? There actually seems to be quite a bit of grind vinyl out there, not to mention the fact that Black Metal has totally revived the vinyl-as-fetish object and also given rise to the return of cassettes. Tons of Death Metal also comes out on LP and almost all stoner or doom metal gets a...

How about the delightfully respectful obit from the New York Post: http://www.nypost.com/seven/12132007/news/nationalnews/ike_beats_tina_to_death_79527.htm ? Now that's pure class right there.

"Detroit"!

Just a quick question for anyone who might be more in the know then myself...why exactly is Flava Flav still a member of Public Enemy despite having become a pretty much THE face of absolutely everything they nominally claim to despise? Has Chuck D ever commented on this seeming contradiction...

Impressive, Winnipeg received copies early this week! Sorry to gloat, but we rarely get the opportunity :D Only had the one run-through so far, so can't really comment in depth, but really, really enjoying it so far. Need to find some time to properly sit down and listen. While listening to...

That's me! I'm quite the quitter. :) Luckily everything's A-OK otherwise.

I do apologize for the lack of commenting...I did have a chance to read "Austerlitz" but it was in a very scattered and rushed fashion due to my house catching fire immediately after the start of the book club, followed by an ongoing period of exile. Greatly looking forward to scanning the...

On a related note...believe it or not, the Robert Plant/Alison Krauss album "Raising Sand" is (7 tracks in at least) really, shockingly good. Plant sings in a range he's actually comfortable with, and the close harmony singing combined with a thick, dusty feel courtesy of T-Bone Burnett and...

This sounds very exciting, but I'm not familiar with Alireza or Ata Ebtekar at all. Is there anybody out there that's dipped into classic Persian Electronic Music at all? PERSIAN ELECTRONIC MUSIC-Yesterday and Today 1966-2006 2CD (Sub Rosa/) 2CD DIGIPACK + 20 PAGE BK From Alireza...

I remember reading something about that, possibly tying it into strong winds in Catalonia that resulted in a higher rate of mental illness? That could be completely false, though.

Everyone should demand a Furze cover story in the Wire.

But I'm actually enthusiastic about the music I listen to! ;) I also have a distinct lack of 65+ year old modern composers and not nearly enough minimal techno or 'freak folk'. I'll step my game up for the next one.
