Remember a few bits back when I posted that Carl Sagan remix? Well, a certain Mr. Jack White was so impressed by that little beauty that he’s gonna release it on a 150 run 7″ vinyl via his label, Third Man Records. Saweet. It’ll be released on November 9th to coincide with what would have been Sagan’s 75th birthday.

inside, we’re all misfits.

For Halloween, I went to a party as David Beckham and most people were slightly confused as to why I was wearing cleats in the house on the clean carpet. For Halloween, Ted Leo went as Glenn Danzig and completed a royal Misfit affair with a few friends. I doubt anyone wondered why Ted was wearing his hair in a devilock. The performance is actually pretty fantastic.

more crookedness from them vultures.

Them Crooked Vultures has released another single via iTunes. When last checked, the download was free. The song is Mind Eraser (No Chaser). It certainly is a rollicking rocker full of sweet riffs and an awesome grooving beat to it. You can hear Mr. Grohl taking some back up singing duties during the chorus. Ch-ch-check it out.

6 spoon, never enough.

That would be me. Tonight is the night that I’ll begin my trek into the homebrewing world. Back in February, Erika bought me a homebrewing kit and I’m just now getting around to making it. The kit says that it will make a Pale Ale. It looks real legit, but can of hopped malt extract also says that the IBU’s (international bitterness units) are somewhere around 25. 25? 25? I’ve had milk stouts with more IBU’s. I’m shooting more for 45-55 IBU’s. That may end up being way too bitter as I’ve never tasted how strong the malt being used is. Either way, today is an excellent day to brew. Pictures documenting the brewing will be forthcoming.

yea.sayer.

Yeasayer has a new paranoid track called Ambling Alp for your earda-da-drums. Check it out.

no news, here’s old news.

It sure seems like there has been a lack of quality music news as of late. My apologies, I will search harder. In the mean time, enjoy this super fat Rusko dub of I Kissed A Girl.
