Episode 60: Double Covered & Smothered Part 1

Greetings Dear Listener,

Welcome to part one of a two episode jaunt.  If you study the playlist below, you may be able tell the direction in which we will be going.

The Sword came through town a few days ago.  Unfortunately I was not able to attend.  I was tasked with shepherding the next generation to training on how to wield an axe.

My copy of Heavy Blanket's Live At Tym Guitars has showed up.  No Telling No Trails is a special little treat at the end of the episode.  Here's what the artwork on the sleeve looks like:

In more J Mascis news, there will be a Dinosaur Jr. singles box set coming out for Record Store Day.  There will be 5,000 pressed so I may be able to get one.  Here's what that looks like:

The Gaslight Anthem's Fan Club single is back from the pressing plant and will start shipping in a few days.  They posted a picture of a giant pile of merch:

They are also in the studio working on their next album.  Here's a picture of Brian Fallon at work:

There will be a 2LP soundtrack release for Breaking Bad coming out at the end of April.  To place a pre-order for it go here.  This is what it'll look like:

Seth Rogen gave testimony in front of our failed government in a plea for more funding for Alzheimer's research.  After the introductions, there weren't even a handful of senators in the room.  Weak.

In Uber-Nerdy Batman news, there will be a Batman/Green Hornet crossover.  The story will be set in the Batman '66 series and will pick up where the original crossover in the 60's Batman TV show left off.  Kevin Smith and Ralph Garman will be handling the scripts.  Ty Templeton will be drawing the story.  And Alex Ross will be painting the covers.  The stories will be available digitally in May and available in print in June.  Here's some preliminary artwork from Alex Ross:

Here's a clip from the second season of Batman to refresh your memory:

Next Tuesday, instead of a new episode of the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., ABC will be airing a one hour special about the upcoming Marvel movies.  There will be in depth looks at Captain America, Guardians Of The Galaxy and Avengers 2.  What a golden age in which to be a nerd.

Thanks for listening.

Rock over London.  Rock on Chicago.

Cazart.
