Patrick Slevin from The Aquarian Weekly has this week interviewed Maynard about his work with Puscifer. It’s one of the more interesting interviews I’ve read, so check it out. Here’s a not so random quote: The EP that was recently released was only available digitally, as well as the Lustmord dub mixes. Do you expect to continue releasing physical records? Not yet. As this project develops and as it gains… Read More »Maynard on The Aquarian
A quick post this morning before I head off to Soundwave. Maynard did an interview with Movieweb recently, and it’s results can be found here. Worth the read, though it only really covers his winemaking. Here’s a random quote: You usually have control of your artistic endeavors, but Page and Pomerenke had final cut on this documentary. How difficult was it for you to hand over the reigns on something… Read More »Maynard Interviewed about Blood Into Wine
A new message from Major Douche regarding the upcoming Puscifer tour: Major Douche Eastern Assault. Spring 2010. "In this war against complacency and the mundane, we the artists/insane must strive to re-invent, to shadowbox our paranoia, and to adapt to inevitable change while still maintaining a balanced diet. Multi tasking is at the very core of our assault. That is why we are very pleased to unveil a new level… Read More »A Message From Major Douche
Maynard had a nice chat with Kat Corbett from KROQ recently, and the interview is available for streaming here. I haven’t had a chance to listen yet, so let me know if it sucks. There’s also another Blood Into Wine clip available as well on Youtube: I also meant to mention that there are a few more screenings for Blood Into Wine: Nashville, TN – Mar. 17 –… Read More »KROQ interviews Maynard
Maynard features in an article on Billboard this morning where he talks about how much Puscifer costs, as well as the possibility of a DVD: Approaching the entire project more like a television performance troupe, Keenan says he hopes to release "Puscifer Season 1" later this year on DVD. I think it was pretty much inevitable that we’d see a DVD of some of these performances, and I’m looking forward… Read More »Maynard Talks Puscifer Budget, DVD (not Tool!).
In a recent interview on Metromix.com, Maynard makes a brief mention of the Live DVD. I have to ask: What’s up with A Perfect Circle and Tool? Nothing I know of at the moment. There’s always writing, we’re always doing that. But as soon as I say anything…like, I mentioned 15 years ago a possibility of filming a live Tool show, and I still get asked about that! I made… Read More »Maynard discusses Live DVD (and other stuff!)
In a recent interview with Ryan Page (one of the Blood Into Wine directors) on Movieweb.com, Maynard will be playing the part of a villain on his upcoming movie Queens of Country: Let me ask you about Queens of Country. Is that a reference to the real Nashville Queens of Country? Like Dolly and Loretta? Ryan Page: It’s a comedy. It’s not a doc. We are shooting it on May… Read More »Maynard in Queens of Country
There are quite a few Blood Into Wine reviews coming onto the net, and I expect this to increase over the next week or so. Rather than posting each review on Fourtheye, I’ve taken to linking them on the Fourtheye Twitter account. I also use twitter for other bits and pieces I decide aren’t quite worthy of their own post, so if you are a twitter user, then make sure… Read More »Quick Note Regarding Blood Into Wine Reviews
A Country & Western version of Trekka – Spaghetti Trekka can be found in the Puscifer site. It’s a live version, I imagine recorded at one of the shows from the last tour. Enjoy and thanks to Rolo on TDN for the find!
There’s a great Blood Into Wine article on RC Reader at the moment, where Maynard and the directors of Blood Into Wine all talk about how the movie was made. Very interesting read and highly recommended! Here’s and excerpt: But while there are no imminent releases from any of his bands, Keenan said he hasn’t given up music for wine. "If it’s a positive, healthy experience, then it’s always going… Read More »Blood Into Wine Article on RC Reader
