Pitchfork: Phoenix: Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix →
Pitchfork gives Phoenix’s new album an 8.5. I would have given it a 9.5, taking off the .5 since it’s so goddamn depressing. I’ve listened to this album probably 100 times in the last week or two, and at first it just sounds like good indie pop, but once you keep listening you really start to feel something. “It’ll also hit your gut if you listen hard enough.

Cool video of Lucy Michelle & The Velvet Lapelles on Northern Outpost. The song they play is the title track of their forthcoming album, which was recorded a week and a half ago and is being mixed now.

This is highly unexpected, but is Fox just playing a prank on Joss Whedon and his fans? I wonder if they’ll move it out of the Friday 8 pm death time slot.

REBLOG THE FUCK OUT OF THIS. WARNING: AMC theaters...

I went with a friend of mine to see Star Trek: The IMAX Experience at the AMC Theatre in Burbank today. I drove out of my way to see the film on the large IMAX screen and paid an extra $5 for the ticket, which felt worth it at the time. HOWEVER, we get in the theatre and its just a slightly bigger than normal screen and NOT the usual standard huge 72 ft IMAX screen. I was very upset...

Nice Pitchfork interview with Justin Vernon (aka Bon Iver). Hopefully I’ll be doing my own interview with Justin for More Cowbell the next time he rolls through the Twin Cities.
