Toolarmy member AChip has posted his signed copy of Lateralus on ebay, something he is sadly compelled to do due to financial considerations.  Anyone interested in getting a copy of the most limited of Tool releases, should check it out…

Current bidding puts it at US$127.55.  Expect this to go up considerably…

I received and email from Simon this morning who runs the website toolvinyl.com.  Though personally I’m not much of a collector, this site seems to be a great resource for those of you who are in the hunt for sought after Tool vinyl.  Check it out!

gnjasmkr send me a link today for an interesting item on Ebay. It is a copy of 10,000 Days on red vinyl.  I’ve never seen one of these personally, and will presume it’s some kind of bootleg for now, but it begs the question – is the “big thing” a release of 10,000 Days on vinyl?

Edit: Link fixed!

Rohan messaged me today to let me know he found a vinyl copy of Ænima signed by Danny on Ebay.  Bidding starts at US$300!

Evildiscokid from Toolarmy has a complete set of sealed Tool and APC vinyl up for sale, and wants to avoid putting this up on Ebay.  If this sounds like the kind of thing you’d be interested in (not sure if he’s willing to split the collection at all) then let me know, and I’ll put you in touch with him.  Alternatively if you’re a Toolarmy member just PM him.

Amer emailed me the other day, letting me know that he’s being forced to part with his signed copy of the “stupendously rare” (his words not mine!) Cesaro Summability picture disc.  Apparently only 25 of these signed items exist in the world, so for you die hard collectors this sounds like a great opportunity to open your wallets and grab a copy.

Current bidding on Ebay puts it at $222 + shipping, and the auction has another six days remaining.  Amer mentions he’d rather this go to a genuine Tool fan rather than a re-seller, so check it out!

Cesaro Summability Signed

Amer emailed me today and mentioned that he’s selling his Aenima Promo Vinyl.  He mentions on the auction that it’s the “Holy Grail of Tool Collecting”.  That may or may not be the case, but anyway, it’s currently bidding at over US$200.  Those of you who are keen to get a copy of the rare piece of vinyl, check it out!

Received today via the Puscifer Mailing List:

News from the world of Puscifer…

New music is in the works, Maynard talking about where the collective is in the process:

“We’re starting to pull together some new pieces. Josh Eustis,  Lustmord, our visiting Irish Bass Player, Tanya  and I are indulging in some new ideas, old ideas, recipes, bad jokes, and the occasional 2 on 2 ball game. Not much to report quite yet, but soon.”

A behind the scenes clip from the making of the DoZo video:

According to this article on Blend Music, vinyl is making a comeback, and EMI/Capitol will be re-issing it’s top 15 selling albums on vinyl in August. Amongst this list is A Perfect Circle’s Mer De Noms. Amongst the other releases are John Lennon’s Imagine, Jimi Hendrix’s Band of Gypsys and Beach Boy’s Pet Sounds. Vinyl collectors should keep their eyes peeled.

that A Perfect Circle and Tool are still alive and well”

Or so I read in an email from the Puscifer Mailing list:

Hello, APC fans.

As many of you may have heard, Billy and I are engaged in our own little projects for the moment.

His is called Ashes Divide and mine is called Puscifer.

Puscifer is perfect for those of you who suffer from ADHD, Obsessive Compulsive Accessory Purchases, Vinyl fetishes, Turrets and/or An Irreverent Sense of Humor. You will need to bring one, severeal, or all of these disorders if you seek to embrace/understand Puscifer.

We’ve included a number of websites for you to browse so you can determine if this is in fact your flavor.

If not, no harm done (you can remove yourself at the bottom of this e-mail).

We’ll hopefully get along just fine without you, although we’d of course prefer to have you along to join us for the giggles.

Please be advised that A Perfect Circle and Tool are still alive and well.

This is simply MORE.

Because as you know, MORE IS BETTER. ALWAYS. God bless America.

Peace,

M J Keenan

Personally I hope Tool is more alive than APC, though as long as it’s not another eMotive, I’d welcome a new APC album.
