Mostly Harmless

As some of you imaginary readers might know, there’s been persistent talk of a Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy movie finally being produced. Time and time again these rumors have often been squelched in light of numerous setbacks. When Douglas Adams passed away I think many people decided that it would never happen.


Well, it is happening. Here’s a link to a prototype costume for one of the book’s (and now film’s) major characters, Marvin.

Spiffy.

DJ Fork

I was looking at their top 20, 50 and 100 lists today. Some of their choices are just flat-out weird but at least they support the electronic music scene. Gabe mentioned to me though that it seems like electronic music makes up the majority of these lists they put out.

'Tis Quiet

It has been quiet. I was just checking out Greenwood's Bodysong last night. Sounds like pretty good stuff.

I was ranting to Brock a couple days ago about Pitchfork and their top 50 list. I've been going through their list, trying to find some new bands to listen to. Not much luck because they mostly suck. Hey, I'm all about originality and creativity, but it needs to spark something emotionally!! Don't leave out that important element, Pitchfork!

Where's the posts?

Beats me. No, seriously, there just isn't all that much going on right now. Expect things to pick up later on though. February and March are going to be big months with lots of news to talk about. A quick rundown: I think Modest Mouse's 'Float On 7"' comes out in February as well as Johnny Greenwood's solo project Bodysong.
And then, March of course has 'Good News for People Who Love Bad News' and Audio Learning Center's second LP. It could possibly be a big reissue month too with re-mastered and extended editions of Modest Mouse's 'The Moon and Antarctica' and Weezer's 'Blue Album'.

Can't wait...
