Episode 66: Did They Really Need To Reboot Groundhog Day?

Greetings Dear Listener,

Did you notice how the new Tom Cruise movie, Edge Of Tomorrow, is just a remake of Groundhog Day but with robots, explosions and Tom Cruise.  Hooray for originality!!!

It seems that Submachine and Zeitgeist will be opening for Jello Biafra and The Guantanamo School Of Medicine.  The show is on Monday, June 30th at Mr. Smalls.  I may have to leave the house on a Monday.  Dammit.

La Sera has a new record out.  Hour Of The Dawn came out last week.  Anything with Katy Goodman is worth checking out.  Hardly Art handled the release.  Go here for more info.

Cry Is For The Flies is officially out now.  The latest version for download has a track featuring Shirley Manson from Garbage.  Go over to their bandcamp page to check it out.  I cannot wait for the vinyl on this one.

The trailer for Gotham was released recently.  I get chills every time I see it.

Not to be outdone, The Flash trailer was also released.

And in further news of the nerd, Zack Snyder released the first picture of Affleck in the Batsuit.

Of course the internet threw a fit.  If the internet doesn't like it maybe the internet should make its own Superman/Batman movie.  Or just shut the hell up for a minute.

According to the USPS website, my Boris/Heap split single will be here tomorrow.  I wonder if we'll be hearing that next time around.

Thanks for listening.

Rock over London.  Rock on Chicago.

Cazart.

Episode 65: This Mediocrity Is Killing Us All

Greetings Dear Listener,

I'm not sure that I want to live in a world where the number one selling album for the past several weeks has been the soundtrack to a shitty Disney movie.  And there's news that the new Coldplay record may take its spot.  What the fuck?  Let it go indeed.

In honor of the NHL playoffs here's a link to the greatest use of a telestrator ever.  Oddly enough, that was the last time Bob Errey was allowed to draw on the screen.

There is a brand new Le Butcherettes album out.  Cry Is For The Flies is phenomenal.  There was an advance download for folks who pre-ordered on bandcamp but the album will officially be released on May 15th.  Rumor has it there will be a vinyl release in June.  Go to http://lebutcherettes.net/ for more info.

There have been a few J Robbins related reissues.  Jawbox's Novelty has been remastered and pressed on clear vinyl.  And both Channels releases have been pressed on vinyl.  All three are available at Dischord.  The prices on the Channels records are a bit higher since they are German imports but totally worth it.

J Mascis has resurrected his label called Baked Goods.  The first release will be a split single featuring Boris and Heap.  Outer Battery Records will be handling distribution duties.  The single is limited to 500 copies on purple vinyl.

I finally obtained a copy of the Negative Trend reissue.  The CD reissue was good but the vinyl reissue is amazing.  Superior Viaduct does great work.

David Bowie's Ziggy Stardust has been reissued on pink vinyl as a UK import.  I cannot recommend buying it.  The mastering used for the pressing had too much low end which causes the needle to jump out of the grooves at times.

The Breaking Bad soundtrack has been delayed until the end of May.  I'm hoping it's because they are trying to perfect the baby blue coloring with the purity of the vinyl.

There's a new Batman animated movie that came out this week.  Here's the trailer for Son Of Batman.

As much as everyone took to the internets to bitch about Damian, I never had a problem with the character.  He is just a drawing on paper after all.

I can't figure out all of the hate that was thrown at Amazing Spider-Man 2.  I enjoyed it.  Gwen Stacy died and Gidget made me roll a tear.  What else could you ask for from a Spider-Man movie?  Was everyone hoping for another song and dance number?  Oh well.

Thanks for listening.

Rock over London.  Rock on Chicago.

Cazart.
