I just found out today from a couple of Fourtheye readers (thanks WormLord and gnjasmkr) that Adam is also involved with King Buzzo on producing some music for what I presume is a graphic novel called The “Y†Incision:
We have decided to make our first book bigger, badder, and with more Cal McDonald! The first book will feature both "The ‘Y" Incision" and "Nocturnal Invasions" Cal McDonald stories written by Steve Niles. Which pushes the book to 110 pages long and now the artist Kelley Jones is working on more art to pack into the book. Kelley just finished the final art for the cover which is pictured above.
The sound component which will be available with the limited edition version of the book is nearly finished. Music arrangements composed and produced by Adam Jones of Tool and performed byKing Buzz of The Melvins. The music will also feature our very own Steve Niles on bass which takes the sound deeper into Cal Mcdonald’s tormented psyche.
There’s no further information I have, so if anyone has anything to add then feel free to let me know.
I thought this sounded vaguely familiar. Taken from TA: 15 July, 2009 (02:07pm) ADAM TO COMPOSE FOR A SPECIAL ISSUE OF “BLOODY PULP BOOKS” Here’s some info: “BLOODY PULP BOOKS: NOW WITH SOUND! THE ‘Y’ INCISION” to include musical effects?

the STORE section on bloodypulpbooks.com says the book will be available soon, so im assuming the soundtrack will be released with it.
What happened to The Pot music video?
It seems like Adam keeps getting distracted by these small collaboration tangents every few months or so.
Looks like ‘The “Y” Incision’ may actually be released soon. Here’s an update: Welcome to the new year 2011! The year of Bloody Pulp Books. Steve Niles and I have sat down and cranked out our first book “Cal McDonald: Detective Tales”. Cal McDonald: Detective Tales is a limted edition pulp paperback series of Cal McDonald prose written by Steve Niles. The first volume will be illustrated by Kelley Jones (Sandman, Deadman, and recently Batman: Gotham after midnight). It will be sent to the printers the first of the year and will finally be released. Thank you for your patience… Read more »
Cal McDonald: Detective Tales Vol.1 Book pre-order available… limited run of 2000:
http://bloodypulpbooks.com/cal-mcdonald-detective-tales-book/
still no mention of the “Y” Incision or the musical component
Just emailed them asking if the y incision would be included with the pre order. I’ll let you know what they say
Steve Niles is on Children of Saturn in the next couple of weeks, maybe he’ll say something then…
response i got about the y incision:
“Unfortunately the soundtrack is not yet completed and will NOT be included with the book. We’re not sure when it will be released. So we are moving forward with the publishing just the book.”
That’s a shame, I hope the soundtrack sees the light of day…
Well that sucks balls! I thought so since there was no mention of it.
agreed… I was most interested in that part of the project as it related to the whole… pfff… now it’s just another picture book with words… ever heard of “goodnight moon”, Bloody Pulp?!
