WTTD pal Tony Acosta Jr is one of a select group of artists chosen by Global Inheritance to paint some garbage cans. um, yeah. the bins are destined for next week’s Coachella Festival, so tonight they’re having an opening at POVevolving to showcase the sixty plus works of art before they get all messed up with, well, garbage. come on down, celebrate recycling and stuff, and then head off next week to the really big Coachella show. (p.s. sorry i’ve been out of touch, America. jesus satan got hit by a car on his bike and i’ve been somewhat out of commission. i’ll be back soon…)
it’s sad, but even as beautiful as this is, i just don’t have the patience for an eleven minute video anymore. people used to bitch about tv making everyone all ADD, but the internet has just KILLED it. music by Jacaszek (who all you New Yorkers just missed at the Unsound Festival), video directed by Marc Silver (who has a ton more videos on his site. Ageless Sex is particularly uplifting/disturbing).
Previously, we hit you people in the balls with the amazing announcement of Them Crooked Vultures‘ inaugural flight which, sadly, wasn’t stopping in NY or LA. Wellll that has changed my friends, we’re hitting you in the balls AGAIN, much harder this time, with a NY tour date! If you’re a chick, lucky you… no ovary punching… yet.
The super-band (comprised of Josh Homme (vocals/guitar for Queens of the Stone Age, Kyuss, Eagles of Death Metal), Dave Grohl (drums for Foo Fighters, Nirvana) and motherfuckin John Paul Jones (bass for Led Zeppelin)) has added a single NY tour date:
October 15th @ NYC – Roseland Ballroom. And I almost don’t want to tell you this but here’s some insider info…
Presale starts Thursday, September 24th at 4pm EST here!
Password: VULTURES
Tickets go on sale to the public Saturday, September 26th at Noon EST.
A very limited number of tickets will be sold free of service charges at the Fillmore New York at Irving Plaza box office beginning at the time of the public onsale.
Here they are teasing us with “Nobody Loves Me and Neither Do I”:
finally, L.A. has a festival worthy of Pitchfork status. the F Yeah Festival (previously the Fuck Yeah Fest) has gone even more wuss and titled themselves the FYF Fest this year, but what they are lacking in balls they have more than made up for with a crazy gigantor lineup of indie superstars, and yes, ‘indie superstars’ is totally a contradiction in terms…
tomorrow is the day, and the show is being headlined by The Black Lips, Tim & Eric, and Lightning Bolt, plus a ton of other WTTD favs like No Age, The Thermals, Glass Candy, Mika Miko, Crystal Antlers, Telepathe, Peanut Butter Wolf, Har Mar Superstar, and (TINT fav) Wavves, who is, hilariously, WAYYYYY down on the list. there are a ton of other acts, too. you can see the posted lineup, set times, etc., at the FYF site.
and all this for a whopping twenty bucks? FUCK YEAH! oh, i mean FY! they’re also saying that it’s a “Save Our State Parks Festival”, and i’m not sure exactly if money is supposed to go to the state parks or whatever because the site says they’re just raising ‘awareness’, which is a little sketchy. there is a whole dollar being added for charity, though. so i guess they’re doing more than i am. well fuck that. no one outclasses jesus satan, FYF Fest! here. now i’m raising awareness.
Comprised of Josh Homme (vocals/guitar for Queens of the Stone Age, Kyuss, Eagles of Death Metal), Dave Grohl (drums for Foo Fighters, Nirvana) and motherfuckin John Paul Jones (bass for Led Zeppelin), Them Crooked Vultures have announced an upcoming tour that doesn’t hit NEW YORK OR LOS ANGELES. Fuckers. But I’m so excited for the group itself that I feel compelled to post this amazing teaser video, see more at their youtube channel.
The Walkmen’s new video for On The Water from Nirben Jacob is probably the most amazing thing i’ve ever seen. (‘cept maybe boobies.) they’re touring around, hitting San Fran for the Treasure Island Festival in October with Flaming Lips, MGMT and The Decemberists amongst others, so it wouldn’t surprise me much if they took a little detour to L.A. soon thereafter.
