Meshuggah Koloss samples on Amazon

_PlanetX posted in the forum today that Amazon UK has posted 30 second samples for each track off the forthcoming Meshuggah album Koloss.  I have to say it’s sounding damn tasty so far.  If you decide you want to order it via Amazon, then I’d appreciate you use this link!

The Melvins “The War On Wisdom”

As promised the other day, the new Melvins track “The War On Wisdom” has premiered on Pitchfork.  This track is from the coming EP The Bull & The Bees. Personally I think it’s quite excellent!  Why do you guys reckon?

Friday Fourtheye Updates

Sorry about the lack of news the last few days.  Those of you active in the forum would know that I’ve been busy migrating the forums from an old bbPress 1 system to a more modern, and hopefully more flexible bbPress 2 system.  There were a fair few headaches involved with this, the migration is now complete, and the new forums can be enjoyed here.  There are still some further… Read More »Friday Fourtheye Updates

Tool Collection for sale Part 2!

You may remember about a month ago Toolboy asked me to post his collection of Tool recordings in the hope that it would sell as one large package.  Well, unsurprisingly (to both Toolboy and myself) it didn’t sell in one lot as $3000+ is probably a little more than someone would like to pay for the whole lot.  Toolboy no longer wants to sell the entire collection, but is interesting… Read More »Tool Collection for sale Part 2!

Volto! gig! Maynard! speaks!

For some reason I rarely seem to post Volto! gigs, but I figured there’s no time like the present to start!  Especially as they have a new album coming out soon.  According to Blair the next gig is on Friday the 24th of February at the Baked Potato, and features two sets.  Entry is $25 a bookings in advance are recommended. In other old news, Maynard did some public speaking… Read More »Volto! gig! Maynard! speaks!

Tool Revisited part 3: Big Day Out 2011 Tour

Just over a year ago, Tool took to the stage for a series of shows in Australia and New Zealand as part of the Big Day Out Festival as well as a brief stopover in Hawaii.   At the time I started writing an article covering the events of the tour, but never got around to publishing it.  Since Tool have just completed a Winter tour of North America, I thought… Read More »Tool Revisited part 3: Big Day Out 2011 Tour
