Wreck The Tape Deck

Congratulations to our friend Joe Sabia on being gobbled up by mashable, gizmodo, techcrunch, etc., etc., etc., for his innovative “google wave cinema” videos! Surely on it’s way to viral video status. Check out his other youtube hits at Whirled Citizen.

“I’ve read the articles, watched the instructional videos, and gotten an invite, but nothing—nothing—has done more to explain to me how this mind-melting Internet Thing works than Pulp Fiction, spectacularly adapted for Google Wave. (Warning: Tarantino language ahead)” – John Herrman @gizmodo

A fucking awesome collection of lego dudes. Many more can be seen at MacLane’s Flickr (Batman, Nightcrawler, Wonderwoman, T-1000, etc.)

NEWSWORTHY:
-The Flaming Lips (whose new album, Embryonic, is getting rave reviews everywhere) are going to cover Dark Side of the Moon
-Download Lupe Fiasco’s bonus track “Solar Midnite” from the heavy-hitting Twilight soundtrack
-John Mayer’s new song gets HATED on in the A.V. Club’s pop culture love letters: “Who says John Mayer can’t make an “introspective” video without any modicum of interesting introspection at all? Who says?”
-5 badass authors more badass than the badass characters they created

Jack White’s new band, the Dead Weather (nice.) is playing it’s first show in… drum roll please… LOS ANG… nah just kidding, New York’s Bowery Room. The date is set for April 14th and the venue can’t accomadate a crowd larger than about 600 people. Tickets on sale tomorrow, Wednesday April 8th. Prepare to be disappointed when they sell out.

Jack White has become one of my favorite artists of the decade for the following reasons:
a) The White Stripes
b) The Raconteurs
c) A cameo as Elvis in Walk Hard

So let me break this new group down: Jack White on DRUMS (who needs meg?) and vocals, Alison Mosshart of The Kills (who’s “Last Day of Magic” was an easy top 5 track of 2008 for me) joining him on vocals, The Raconteurs‘ bass player Jack Lawrence, and Dean Fertita of Queens of the Stone Age on guitar. Another all-star collection with potential out the wazoo. You can stream 2 new tracks on the website, including “Hang You From The Heavens.” I predict happy things. In a dark, depressing manner of course.
