Danzig and Rollins, sitting in a tree… Henry and Glenn Forever
Henry and Glenn Forever = awesome. Glenn Danzig is like the Wayne Newton of metal, check out his hilarious overreaction in Decibel magazine here.

it’s a lovely, romantic evening of coupling this Sunday at the Hollywood Bowl with male/female twosomes Swell Season, She & Him and the Bird and the Bee. WTTD pals Filter Magazine are helping us to play matchmaker by hooking us up with two tickets to the date-tastic event, so to win, send the ABSOLUTELY MOST ADORABLE FUCKING picture of Zooey Deschanel of She & Him fame that you can find by emailing it to us at info@wreckthetapedeck.com by 8am Wednesday morning PST. we’ll post our favorites along with the name of the winner this Friday at noon. (everyone else who doesn’t want to be a freeloader, you can still get your tickets here.)

ha! the cactus looks like a penis with testicles! and it's in the desert, like Coachella! boy, those Vice kids sure are funny!
RSVP here and it’s five bucks to get in to Clasixxx tonight at La Cita. also, if you’re heading to the desert this weekend for this Coachella show i keep hearing about, then Vice is throwing a big par-tay also with 25¢ tequila and some bands that weren’t cool enough to be on the actual lineup. cheap tequila will mix well with your comedown from all the shrooms and peyote, i’m sure. the vomiting should be legendary. RSVP here for the Vice thing.
jesus satan got to see Groove Armada do a dj set and youuuuu did-unn’t. (thanks BPM!) their new album, Black Light, is the first standout album of the year for me (sad considering this is almost April), and Paper Romance is one of the best songs i’ve ever heard. so yeah, little bit of a recommendation from j.s. (totally getting this Disco Disco Disco image tattooed on my arm, by the way.)

The Drifter, coming to DVD on December 8th, is a different kind of surf movie. It tells the story of Rob Machado’s journey to go way beyond his comfort zone and become completely isolated from the world with his own thoughts and dreams. Kinda like what Kanye West did with his career. “The Drifter is a visual metaphor for a free spirit’s conscious abandonment of the worldly traps of modern life as he searches for the inner freedom and spiritual joy offered by a life of renunciation”
So here’s what we’re giving away to ONE lucky winner (must be from the US):
- 1 copy of The Drifter on DVD
- 1 bar of Rob’s own organic blend of surf wax (see below)
- 1 copy of the latest issue of FILTER, which includes a sweet Drifter feature
Oh and look at this ridiculous soundtrack for the flick:
Jon Swift
Rob Machado
Stardeath & White Dwarfs
The Black Keys
By The Fireside
The Raconteurs
Midlake
Iron & Wine
Tegan & Sara
Jon and Roy
The Len Brown Society
Dr. Dog
Brett Dennen
Bon Iver
Jose Gonzalez
MGMT
Yeasayer
The Shins
All you have to do to enter is comment on this post wishing us an AMAZING Happy Thanksgiving and we’ll select a winner at random with our patented eenie-meenie-miney-moe system. Good luck and Happy Holidays!

i was in junior high when The Simpsons debuted, and now they’re in their 21st season, and that makes jesus satan feel very, very old. for the first time ever, The Simpsons have made me sad. Matt Groening and selected Simpsons’ artists are signing copies of the soon to be released Simpsons Treehouse of Horror #15 at the Family Bookstore (436 N. Fairfax, 90036) tonight at seven p.m. there will also be original art from the issue in the gallery, not sure if you can buy it or not, but still cool nonetheless. more info from the newsletter after the jump.
