Maudlin of the Well has posted their latest album, Part the Second, online for download. MotW are giving this album away for free, but they are asking for a “pay-what-you-want” donation, which can be done quickly and easily via PayPal.

Part the Second is a culmination of previously unfinished MotW tracks, and the support of their fans, as Toby puts it:

The more I see from this film, the more I want to see it. According to IMDB, Blood is set to hit these shores sometime in July.

This is the new video for The Mae Shi’s Lamb and the Lion off of their 2008 album HLLYH. It’s a quirky Flash animation piece by Natalia Stuyk done in a primitive medieval style—which is befitting the theme of the song.

Here’s a sunny track for a sunny day. This one goes out to all the fellas in the house who hold their bearded chins high, and all the ladies who love our manly chin pelts.

Natalie Portman’s Shaved Head

Well, it’s not the Halo movie, but Peter Jackson and Neil Blomkamp have teamed up for another alien flick, District 9, set to hit theaters on August 14.

This is a follow up to a post I wrote a long-ass time ago, all the way back in the balmy summer of 2008. Back then I’d mentioned that Warren Ellis was writing a darker grittier (read: PG13) version of one of my favorite after school cartoons G.I. Joe. Since then previews of said cartoon/anime/what-have-you have begun to popped up on the interwebs, and I figured I might as well share them with you too.

…After a quick hop over to Adult Swim I see that the episodes have started airing. Personally, I like what I’ve seen so far. It’s definitely grittier than the original, and the refresh that they tried a few years ago. G.I. Joe Resolute will likely appeal to most anime fans, even if you weren’t a fan of the original series. (Sacrilege!) So, hop on over to Adult Swim and check out episodes 1-8, or you can wait until Saturday, April 25th when they will air Resolute in it’s entirety at 12 midnight (check your local listings for exact time).

Here’s the new video for Give It Up, the fist single off of Datarock’s upcoming album Red, available 4/14 on Nettwerk. I for one am totally digging yet another geeky dance-off video.

Bunnies vs. Llamas (I think?) fighting it out in a parody of the Iran hostage crisis. This is a strange anime, but I ‘m still stoked to see it.
