It's good to be back.
MUSIC
Pitchfork doesn't like Hazards of Love. :( Maybe they're just pissy about the false Stone Roses rumors?
TMT reports on Billy Corgan's maniacal master plan. Crisis: Solo career faltering. Solution: Reform Smashing Pumpkins, kick out all non-Corgan members, co-opt "Smashing Pumpkins" name for solo career. Chamberlin, you beautiful fool! You're playing right into his schemes!
HipHopDX has the details on Kanye's SXSW-crashing antics. Oh yeah, and a Lupe Fiasco album that isn't fake british anime rock.
FILM
If you care at all about independent film, you should care about distribution for the seven-years-to-make Raiders of the Lost Ark remake.
Sit through the advertisement, ignore the shitty puns, and devour these awesome Where the Wild Things Are stills. God this looks great.
Via RT, Warner Bros. is doing some awesome shit and opening their vaults in what is for some reason being metaphorically compared to a pizzeria. Basically, order an old unreleased film, and they make you the DVD. This is the sort of inexplicably and unmistakably rad thing that makes me like film studios.
WEIRD
Welcome to 2009! Our water is on fire.
Rick Ross is evidently at his best when being a vaguely facetious hypocrite.
WORLD
Does money even matter anymore?
The New York Times reports on Mexican drug cartel violence spilling over the border.
The BBC reports on modest results from an environmental plan to spur algae growth by putting iron into the ocean.
PERSONAL
Well, break time is over. I have personal projects to get done, and the age-old ticking bomb (everybody will leave for summer!) is back. Damn you, time.
2009 FILMS SEEN: 15
2009 SONGS ON MY ITUNES: 528
Current Computer Situation: MacBook Pro, rocking out to Anamanaguchi.
