August 25th and 26th, 2009

MUSIC

Some people would have you believe that Fuck Buttons sound like an angry Dan Deacon. Backwards. Dan Deacon sounds like a happy Fuck Buttons. Anyway, the new Fuck Buttons song is awesome and the video is perfect. Apparently Stereogum thinks their new album is "too polite." Please indie world let's not lose our heads; their name is FUCK BUTTONS.

So wow, I wasn't too into the new Massive Attack at first to be honest, but that goofy riff eventually just takes over you, like some subliminal message saying "we are all going to die" until you kinda believe it but still want to bob your head to it.

Crookers and Fever Ray sounds like an awkward mix, (I'd rather have Cudi and Fever Ray!) but it's basically just Crookers being friggin' Crookers with a few samples from Fever Ray to justify strapping it to the upcoming Fever Ray release. Not really complaining.

So... many... leaks! Jigga's latest is a prickly little thing, kinda slides along. The battle of Venus versus Mars, of course, ends in sex. (Duh!) And holy shit, Drake ft. Eminem and Weezy and Kanye. Any reason Em didn't go this hard on his latest release? And yeah, you can be sure I'm catching that Jay-Z show on my DVR.

I hadn't even heard of Weird Tapes a month ago, and now he is everywhere at all times.

FILM

Avatar is really going crazy. Midnight tickets are available four months in advance? A goofy-ass lawsuit? Sigourney Weaver is involved or something?

Emile Hirsch's play at Hamlet will go for scares. Honestly, it sounds pretty cool.

Wall Street II looks fantastic.

AICN readers dislike Halloween II.

Black Dynamite is coming to theaters! People are going to expect a romp and end up squirming in their seats. It will be a surreal movie-going experience.

WEIRD

Cool Lost poster is cool.

McG's authorial stamp: boobs.

WORLD

Ted Kennedy is dead.

Wikipedia is set to launch substantial revisions to page controls, according to the BBC. Also via the BBC, Karzai's lead is widening.

PERSONAL

Ahhh school!
