âHoneydripper,â directed by John Sayles, is a shambling fusion of pop mythology and social mosaic.

In a new work, âTerra Nova,â Ben Munisteri sets the fast, difficult beaten steps to a dreamily slow song by Bjork. The effect is both odd and perfect in its place.

Mastodon's ÂBlood MountainÂ is a strong record by a powerful band nearing an ideal of cohesion.

The latest title from the Warhammer 40,000 stable does its thing with considerable style.

Tycho:  It took three separate discs and two consoles to finally work out the Goddamn kinks, but we were able to play almost the entire Eternal Sonata demo.  Almost!  I wasn't aware people were still boiling discs, presumably in black iron cauldrons where carrots bob, but I don't want to live a life where boiling discs is normal.

The multistarrer, however, sounds a bit like Masti.

Tycho:  I'm super depressed.  I thought I had invented a new word - mirthquake - and then I was going to say that you should prepare yourselves for the aforementioned, as today's comic strip was rated this or that number on the rictus scale.  I mean seriously, I've been excited all weekend.  A simple Google search put me in my place - the word is practically ubiquitous.  Expect it soon on Urban Dictionary, that mausoleum of once vibrant language.

Thanks, Dan Brown. Look what you started. In the sound-like-Brown genre the stakes are high, the scruples are absent and the copycatting is out of control.

There's a ray of sunshine in all that doom and gloom.

Tycho:   One of the questions during a a panel at PAX had to do with the italicised line at the end of each day's post.  They're almost always song lyrics, and back before we were paying for bandwidth (and before RIAA rape gangs were prowling the web) these lines used to link directly to the MP3.  I maintained the practice afterward because it's sort of like a song of the day, and I like the idea that someone might be struck by a strange turn of phrase and seek out a piece of music.  It also serves as a gauge of my mental state at the moment.  Today's song, for example, is Stan Rodgers' incredible live version of the sea shanty "Rolling Down To Old Maui," which Pandora kicked out after about a week of tuning the station.  I've listened to it about thirty times today.    The person who asked the question at the con complimented my musical tastes, and I accepted the compliment, but I'm almost always late to the scene.  I just bought Interpol's "Turn On The Bright Lights," for chrissakes.  I'm mostly lucky to know people who do have unique library.  I told him I would mention a few of my favorite bands on the site, but then I forgot.  Essentially, it's music that cool people were listening to a decade ago (where applicable).  I am a musical carrion bird.    He wanted me to list off a few bands, and I said I would last week, but then I forgot.  These are the first ten albums I could think of.    "Starless" by Shiner

Stripes are back. Solid red is out. And purple (indigo, to you, buddy) is the new power blue.

It was an emotional reunion. Heck, it nearly brought Zach Johnson to tears. That's the degree of attachment between Johnson and the clubs he used to win the Masters.

For all of the talk of him playing weird music, Peel played Status Quo&#39;s &quot;Whatever you want&quot; the other week. He played music as it actually is: an unholy mess, a mixture of old and new, some bands having sold
