Much Worse Lieutenant

This just sounded like a mistake from the start...
Werner Herzog taking on Abel Ferrara's Bad Lieutenant with Nicolas Cage in the lead.
The first footage is out now and this is just looking insane. It looks like a great comedy but a slap in the face to the original. Either way, I'll have to see it.

Behold the wackness that is, Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans

some new stuff

Saw The National last night, they were okay but the shows haven't been as good as the first time I saw them at the Horseshoe after Alligator came out... more chatty hipsters and less energy from teh band it seems. The show was awesome however for getting to see Colin Stetson, nto the best venue for his music but I've never seen anything quite like what he did with a saxophone or two... it was up there with seeing Nels Cline for just all out crazy musicianship. Check it out.
Colin Stetson - Nobu Take

And some other stuff...

Dangermouse & Sparklehorse – Dark Night Of The Soul - Jaykub (click HERE to buy the best CD-R ever)

Dinosaur Jr – I Want You To Know

An ex member of the Stills and some other folk making very Pavement sounding music:
Feathership - For Once

Tortoise – Monument Six One Thousand
and in that vein...
The Hylozoists - Bras d’Or Lakes

the ashes of an arab strap

Usual excuses for not posting... oh well, had to go fetch some stuff from the east coast.

The new Malcolm Middleton album, Waxing Gibbous, is coming out on June 1, here’s a tune now though.
Malcolm Middleton - Carry Me

And the other half of Arab Strap continuing to write his own brand unforgettable and romantic lyrics.
Aidan Moffat + The Best Ofs – Living With You Now

And for some reason after listening to that I though of this: Phoebe Snow - Two Fisted Love
