This was announced a while back, but I was hearing numerous release dates, so I figured I'd wait for something official before mentioning this. Anyway, Primus' 8-year hiatus of making new music will be over September 13th. Will it be awesome? Probably not. Will it be bad? I don't think so. But I have a special nostalgic place in my heart for Primus that I'm excited for any kind of reunion thing. And they've been playing I think eight of the new songs over the past few months. This one's my favorite so far:



The first time I watched this clip and Les says, "You're gonna love this fucking song," I was like, "Sure I will (sarcastically and metaphorically rolled my eyes)." But it turned out to be awesome, and I felt ashamed of my New Yorker-like cynicism.

Guns Are Better Than Everything Else

So I'm trying to put together an interview with Big Business for Chunklet. Let me know if any of you have any questions. Also, I just got the Quadruple Single EP and it's totally badass and you should all go see them and pick it up while you're there.

Builders of Death

The Builders and the Butchers recently collaborated with Murder by Death as part of MBD's 7" series where they share a split and the bands cover each other. As a bonus, one of the dudes from TBATB did some extra songs involving chiptunes.

I don't think I've mentioned the Builders here, but they're a fantastic band and I had an absolutely great time seeing them a few months back at the Mercury Lounge.

This is cool. Check it out:

He's Back!

After about a year since the last Goon story, nearly two years since an issue was released, and close to two and a half years since there was a regular schedule, The Goon made its return yesterday with an issue devoted to beating on sparkly vampires and tween girls.

Anyway, The Goon is one of my favorite comics so I just wanted to give you all a heads up in case you missed this. If you're not reading, pick it up. It's new-reader friendly. If you want to go back, the beginning's a fine place to start (actually I started at the beginning of the Dark Horse series, I've never read the early stuff reprinted in vol 0-1), but the absolute best stories are the Chinatown Hardcover, and the 12-issue arc from Goon Year in 2008 (all of those are collected in vol 6-9).

Oddly enough, Criminal Macabre recently returned from a two year hiatus. A few months back, Steve Niles self published the Cal MacDonald prose short The Y Incision and brought the character back to comics in the Free Comic Book Day Criminal Macabre/Baltimore split.

Where am I going with this? Well two years ago these were two of my favorite books, and I'm hoping 2011 brings these titles back to their former glory. Next month the two characters share a one-shot. I know those things are never as awesome as you imagine. But fuck. I'm looking forward to it.

so this video's way better
