Just received and email from Merch at Toolarmy, and it looks like the Platinum Lateralus has shipped. Who knows, it may even arrive in time for Xmas. M.J.K. tells me he has a Gold Coast Big Day Out ticket, and he’s willing to swap it for a ticket to a show in Japan. He’s not interested in selling it for money at this point though. Let me know if you’re… Read More »Lateralus Platinum Shipped!

Josephine emailed me today to let me know that Tool has featured twice in the Triple J My Favorite Album poll, coming in at position 21 for Ænima and then again at 40 for Lateralus. It’s a somewhat predictable poll, with a couple of interesting results. Anthony Callea at number 32?
Kiyou on Toolnavy posted a link to another article covering the technical aspects of the Tool live show. This time the article covers there recent US Show which featured the big white stage and introduced the lasers. Interesting reading. “The show looks very different based on where you are sitting in an arena,†says Grace. “Toward the end of the show, the screens in back of the band and the… Read More »Stage Production Article

Anyway, the results are in, and it appears that 25% of people… Read More »Current Set-List Poll Results
For those of you who’ve ordered the Platinum Lateralus Plaque, and were wondering when you will receive it may find this post from TA interesting: Toolsogno: Does This Include Those that have already ordered the Lateralus plaque? Merch: Shit Yeah!
Blair tells us today, that if we expect to get Tool merchandise before Xmas, we had better get out orders in before the 13th of December if you’re in the US, or by the 7th of December if you’re else where. This excludes TA membership packages which I understand are shipped by Yak from an 18th century manufacturing plant in the Himalayas. Also, Blair didn’t define if he was talking… Read More »Don’t miss the sleigh, Cam’s Picture
