Toolarmy Gingerbread House Competition

Turns out there was a Toolarmy Gingerbread House making competition, and the winner happens to be R Stump from Hollywood!  Obviously no relation to Rynne! Good news for her (and us) is that part of her prize is “getting to sit in on a writing/arranging session with the band members in the new year”. Happy Holidays from Fourtheye (and Tool)!

Tool December Newsletter, Meshuggah Alive Trailer

Also, Meshuggah have released an official trailer to the coming Live DVD Alive: The DVD can be ordered from a range of places, but packages from Nuclear Blast USA can be had with a poster, and either shirt or hoodie.

Blood Into Wine Trailer & Premiere

A new Blood Into Wine trailer was released last week when I was away and I never quite got around to sharing it with you guys: Well worth checking out if you haven’t yet done so, as it seems like this may quite an interesting movie.

November Tool Newsletter

The November 2009 Tool Newsletter is out, though nothing is mentioned in the news about it. I’ve only vaguely read through it, but it seemed to suggest some things about the Toolarmy downtime, though in the usual Blair fashion rather than what most of you would want to read.

RIP Diablo

Sad news from Blair this morning is that Adam and Camella’s beloved great dane Diablo passed away last night: I just received the sad news from Camella that great dane DIABLO passed away last night (peacefully after fighting bronchitis). Most people should have the adventures that Diablo had during his lifetime. The big fellow will surely be missed on this plane of existence. 🙁

Melvins on Pitchfork TV

The Melvins have done a performance of The Kicking Machine for the guys at Pitchfork TV.  It’s pretty cool so take a look: There’s also a cool video with Buzz on Soft Focus.

Meats Meier Intervew

Christophe Muller has collected another great Tool-related interview, this time with 3D artist Meats Meier.  He discusses a range of subjects, including his work with Tool, Puscifer and much more: How did it come for you to work with Tool ? I just got an email from Adam Jones one day asking if I’d be interested to work on the stereoscopic cover artwork for the 10,000 Days album art. Of… Read More »Meats Meier Intervew
