Odds and Ends

It's been a slow fucking week around these parts, thanks in no small part to my having to finally join the rest of the human race in pursuit of gainful employment. That is truly sleazy, truly terrifying, and not so rock'n'roll.

In the upcoming weeks, I'll be posting new interviews with The Dixie Pig of Before I Hang, Adam D. Neal of The Hookers/Brothers of Conquest/Blade of the Ripper, Sweet GA Brown of Hellstomper and solo acclaim, and Anthony D.P. Mann of the Horror Etc. podcast. I'll also be posting some of the classic Kill The Scene pieces by the late, great GG Allin.

If you dig Nick Cave (and who doesn't?), be aware that his new book, The Death of Bunny Munro, will be out September 1st in the States. Click HERE for more info. There's also gonna be a two-disc set of Nick and Warren Ellis's soundtrack work released on September 21st. It's entitled White Lunar, and you can read more about it by clicking HERE. September is gonna be a mother of a month for fans of Mr. Cave.

Has anybody heard about the possibility of Bill Paxton directing the film adaptation of Joe R. Lansdale's The Bottoms? Mojo Joe his owndamnself is writing the screenplay. I really hope this pans out. I love Joe and I love Bill (although not as much as my wife loves Bill...), so I'm seeing this as a match made in heaven. I can't be the only one that thought Bill's Frailty was the absolute tits. Imagine what he could do with a screenplay by Champion Joe. My toes are tingling just thinking about it. Read about it in Joe's MySpace blog by clicking HERE.

Just this week, ANTiSEEN has seen Steel Cage Records reissue the briefly unavailable two-disc Best of set. Forty tunes spanning two and a half decades of pure Southern hostility from these Destructo Rock legends. If you thought you were shit out of luck when this seemed to disappear from shelves overnight - think again. You can get yourself one by clicking HERE.


And don't forget to line up outside your favorite video retailer on Monday night, so you can be the first one on your block with a copy of the new Billy Jack box set come Tuesday morning. If you're not that hardcore, maybe you should check out Deep Discount. I think they've got it for around $20. That's all four flicks - surely the bargain of the century!

Look for more new stuff in the week ahead. Rock and/or roll...
