MUSIC:
First DiS got me all excited about Marissa Nadler way back on the 14th, and now Pitchfork makes good on the goods with a free MP3. It's laid back and fantastic. And damn, Chris Coady? TVotR and Gang Gang Dance and Yeah Yeah Yeahs Chris Coady? Stars are aligning.
DiS makes a compelling case for why every person should see Of Montreal live before they die. (Scroll to the bottom for video) And JESUS, The Invisible sound rad.
All this Animal Collective at the Bowery coverage (here and here) is making me all the more excited about the tickets I snagged for their June Stubb's show here in Austin.
Coldplay are recording again + Eno.
Via Kanye's blog, a rad-ass video of Q-Tip on Conan.
Holy crap, that Lil Wayne rock album is actually happening.
FILM:
We can all take a deep breath, guys; Sommers didn't make Sienna Miller wear rubber breasts. Also, shitty "abreast" slays any vague sense of legitimacy.
Judging by how bad the game's plot was while I idly watched my roommate play it, Lost Planet will be godawful.
Speaking of godawful, Mutant Chronicles has a trailer at last. Watch as Malkovich deftly phones it in.
I blogged a while back on screens from the japanese HP trailer. Do you not like static images? Then get excited - here's the actual trailer via AICN. Fun fact: AICN accidentally embedded a 500 Days of Summer trailer, so I direct-linked you up.
Wow... what an awful film news day.
WEIRD:
Slash is upset because his house isn't big enough to party in. Too bad he can't sue the world for not giving a damn!
Oh, and Kanye West is not bisexual.
WORLD:
Obama has been doing various awesome things.
The Palestinian death toll has surpassed 1,400.
PERSONAL:
Today went relatively well for me. I nabbed some AC tickets, I got all my work done, and now I'm going to see Che, "part one," a.k.a. the film industry should release entire films as their directors intended. (The screening is soon; that's why this is going up so early)
I can't tell you how excited I am for tomorrow's album day. Merriweather Post Pavilion, and, The Crying Light. I might cry.
Scratch that. I will cry.

Of Montreal = BAD ASS live. They really shine live, I think. It's so theatrical and fabulous.
