The Monsters are Back!



So nice to see Stefan Bucher is back at the helm with his Daily Monsters, now reborn as Weekly Monsters. All he asks for his hard work is that you post a story about the monsters he draws. I went ahead and added my two cents to his latest creation, and so should you. I never get tired of these cool drawings. Keep up the great work, Stefan!

"Hulk 2" Gets a Truly Impressive Castlist

Okay, so technically it's not Hulk 2, rather it's being called The Incredible Hulk and it sounds like it won't have anything to do with Ang Lee's unfortunately mediocre version. But, check out this cast list! Liv Tyler? Tim Roth? EDWARD NORTON?? And now, History of Violence bad-ass William Hurt has joined in the proceedings. Rotten Tomatoes has the whole story.

Dead Oceans Sign Explorers Club

I occasionally get mass mailings from indie labels advertising new bands and stuff, but rarely will I be inspired to write a blog post about them. This one I received earlier today, however, deserves some talking about.

The Explorers Club, a Charleston, South Carolina, based sextet have signed on to Dead Oceans, and I am already looking forward to their debut release. While their sound is definitely in the realm of The Beach Boys, their songs sound fresher and catchier than other bands that have tried the same formula. Listen to this free track and try not to start tapping your feet to it.
