Apologies

Apparently Chuck Palahniuk is a dirty liar. Reading these following quotes from him would lead you toe think that my last post was true.


"Clark Gregg...knew that I'd written Choke while listening to Pablo Honey, with 'Creep', over and over and over. So Clark got Radiohead to contribute a song; to write a song for the very end of the movie, the final credits.

"Apparently Radiohead liked the movie so much, they've written the score, most of the ambient music throughout it. So it's 'Choke-- with the music of Radiohead'."

But he's lying. Radiohead is featured on the soundtrack, but it's just the song Reckoner. No new stuff. Bummer. But Johnny Greenwood did the soundtrack to There Will be Blood.

BONUS SCREENSAVER...
You can get a cool screensaver based on the groovy video for 'House of Cards' here.


ON TO BETTER NEWS....

Tame Impala are the support for MGMT's tour. Yay... I feel vindicated.

ON TO NEW MUSIC....









The Mercy Arms are a band that I have liked for a long while. They supported cut copy a while back, I enjoyed their set a little more than the old Ctrl-x Ctrl-c. The guitarist is a bizarre kiddo (who is really friendly and possibly has acid tabs underneath his eyelids), but makes some cool sounds and provides some devlish screams and shouts every now and then. They turn what could be another boring Sydney band (Expatriate, Youth Group- Canberra is close to Sydney, Van Shit, Faker- Actually, I don't mind Faker. They might be from Melbourne) into what I consider one of our most interesting new bands.

Their new album is out on Saturday, they're going on tour. Hitting Melbourne on 30th August at the Northcote Social Club. Their myspace features the whole album, which is nice of them. If you ever wanted to hear Mr Bungle cover the Cure with spoken word by John Jarret, check out the song Shine a Light Down.. close as you'll get.

BONUS PREDICTIONS/WISHLIST

So the Falls Festival lineup was announced Wednesday. Yawn. Franz Ferdipants, The Hives and a whole list of other bands that have been here about a hundred times each. I'm sure it'll be fun, but come on, seem sas though organisers know it'll sell out anyway so decided to leave effort at home for the year. Luckily Meredith is around the corner, sure to have the imaginative line-up I crave. Based on rumours and stuff I want, here' s my predictions.

MGMT
Fleet Foxes
The Bronx (Confirmed on their Myspace)
TV on the Radio
The Drones
You Am I
Tame Impala
Paris Wells
Dan Deacon
Pivot

Probably others too... I predict maybe 6 out of 10... including the Bronx.
