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.)

Ennio Morricone – Theme from The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly

To celebrate the release of Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds, for which we anticipate smashing box office returns since nothing else worth seeing opens this weekend (X Games 3D: The Movie?), we are teaming up with Filter Magazine to give one lucky winner a copy of the film’s soundtrack along with some other goodies.

As evidenced by the eclectic soundtracks to such previous films as Pulp Fiction, Jackie Brown, and Kill Bill, Tarantino is a huge music fan and treats music as an important character in each of his films. He’s chosen hella awesome spaghetti western aficionado Ennio Morricone as his particular muse this time around, which should be a fairly amazing match to a WWII torture-porn-slash-comedy. Oh, and, uh, for some reason there’s a David Bowie song from that weirdo Cat People movie from the eighties. Quentin, Quentin… When will you stop trying so hard to be so cool? You had us at hello. See the tracklist below.

Also, if you’re in Los Angeles go visit Amoeba Records in Hollywood TONIGHT, August 20th. Tarantino is there for a special signing and an exclusive midnight screening of the highly anticipated film. Actually, unless you just want to look through the windows, don’t. It’s way sold out. WTTD just likes to tease.
