Well known Tool haters Pitchfork have today posted an update on the forthcoming Queens of Country movie by Blood Into Wine directors Ryan Page and Christopher Pomerenke: Last year, Modest Mouse frontman Isaac Brock re-ignited his side project Ugly Casanova to contribute songs to the documentary 180° South.

Alleged Tapeworm tracks leaked?

Had an email across my desk today from Joe who points me towards Youtube user 25Bayor who posted a range of videos claiming to be Tapeworm cuts.  A couple of tracks appear to have singers that sound like Trent Reznor and Marilyn Manson, though none I’ve heard sound like Maynard at all (except a live version of Passive that I’m presuming is APC).
