jsmodena emailed me a link to a new interview with Maynard on Spin. It’s pretty brief, but touches on upcoming recording/writing plans for both Tool and Puscifer: New music from Tool is also in the works. "They are getting together and writing," he says of bandmates drummer Danny Carey, guitarist Adam Jones, and bassist Justin Chancellor. "I’ll be popping back into L.A. soon to check in."
Spotted on the Puscifer site by chonus, are these limited edition A Perfect Circle Snowboards, proceeds from which helped the Edward Willie Cancer Fund. Here are the details: Capita snowboard produced a VERY limited number of A Perfect Circle snowboards (less than 10). This one is a directional freestyle board, brand new in the plastic except for where signed by Maynard James Keenan. Artwork contains lyrics from their 13th Step… Read More »A Perfect Circle Limited Edition Snowboards
In a new interview with Artist Direct, Maynard discusses the Blood Into Wine movie, which is now available on DVD. He talks about wine making, the movie, and a little about Puscifer. No Tool news for those who are only interested in one thing (apart from sex): It’s an inspiring film because audiences very rarely have the opportunity to see how intense the winemaking process is. It’s been removed from… Read More »Maynard on Blood Into Wine
Our buddies over at Salival.fr have done an interview with Tool collaborator Kevin Willis. Interesting read that I recommend you check out!
Looks like there has been a slight delay to the Blood Into Wine DVD as Maynard hinted by Twitter earlier. According to a recent post on Toolband: The "SOUND INTO BLOOD INTO WINE" CD will be released on TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 7th. This is a compilation of the tracks heard throughout the "Blood Into Wine" documentary, but also includes a few UNRELEASED MIXES. The DVD will be released on SEPTEMBER 14.… Read More »Slight Blood Into Wine delay
Blair’s August Tool Newsletter is now out. I’m not sure how long it’s been up since I’ve been without power for the last couple of days! I’ve only briefly read it, but it appears to revolve around an email he received from a Tool fan looking for somewhere to stay in LA. No doubt there are many codes and mysteries contained within that I expect you all to analyse and… Read More »Tool August Newsletter
Subtle emailed me this morning telling me that there are lyrics available on the Puscifer site. I haven’t noticed them before so I suspect they’re new. Just in case you don’t believe me here’s a sample from my favorite Puscifer song: Wake up son of mine. Momma’s got somthin’ to tell you. Changes come. Life will have it’s way with your pride, son. Take it like a man. So hang… Read More »Puscifer Lyrics
With the Blood Into Wine DVD release imminent, it makes sense that they might want to release a new trailer. This one seems to focus on Maynard and Tool fans. Well here it is: Man I wish I was in the third row of the New Orleans show…

A couple of Fourtheye readers today pointed me to a new Youtube video of more Tool footage from the Undertow recording sessions. Features some more footage with Henry Rollins, as well as a stack of drum tracking and general playing around. Also Maynard kissing a parrot. Good times!
