Puscifer – features Maynard
Straight from the Puscifer Myspace Blog: Just finished listening to the first ruff master for the V is for Viagra, remix collection. It’s so inspiring to hear how others musicians re-interpret these songs. Good times. There are for sure a few stand outs, but I won’t ruin it for you. Lots of stuff about to be hatched. The video for DoZo is almost done. Meats is chain chugging power drinks… Read More »Maynard talks about V is Viagra
Several members of Toolarmy have mentioned that a new Puscifer remix album called V is for Viagra will be released on the 29th of April. This is news to me, and there’s no confirmation of this anywhere I can see, but I’d reckon it’s safe to assume there will be a remix album eventually. Update: Turns out it’s on the Coming Soon section of the Puscifer website. Here are the… Read More »V is for Viagra?
According to Meats Meier’s Myspace site, work is progressing will on the Dozo video for Puscifer: I’m working night and day on the Puscifer Dozo music video. Almost all of the 80 shots have a combination of motion capture, 3d tracking, and live video that have to all work together perfectly. Probably the most the challenging project of my life so far. I bit off a lot on this one… Read More »Meats Meier on Dozo and Tool website redesign
fortysixand2 posted on Toolarmy the other advising that there is a Spanish Fly remix of Puscifer‘s The Undertaker now available on Maynard‘s Myspace site. It features a female sing Spanish vocals rather than Maynard, but sound cool regardless.
I found a wierd blog post this morning which talks about Maynard‘s sudden appearing in what appears to be a video recording studio: For real… James Maynard keenan just walked onto the set of our music video shoot… I guess he’s filming a shoot for an advertisement, Walking with a gun and a cowboy hat. We asked to get a picture with him, but this is as close as i… Read More »Maynard being filmed?
According to a recent post on Maynard‘s Myspace site, the Queen B DVD will be available on Tuesday, and is a limited edition so don’t delay in ordering it (presumably from the Puscifer website?). No word as to what’s on the DVD apart from the Queen B video, but it’s safe to say there’s probably no live Tool tracks. Meats Meier is continuing work on the Dozo video, and according… Read More »Puscifer Update
According to Beckett from Toolarmy, Maynard will be appearing on the Sirius radio station Left of Center next week: MJK will be getting on the mic on his favorite radio station, Left of Center. Maynard will discuss everything from his wine vineyard to his thoughts on creativity and downloading to his new Puscifer album. He’ll also play and discuss every song from the new Puscifer record, V Is For Vagina,… Read More »Maynard on Left of Center
There’s a new Maynard interview up on the MonitorThis website. There’s not really much there we haven’t heard before, so this one’s for completists only. Questions were apparently submitted by readers, which turned out to be the usual questions we’d expect to hear in interviews. Here’s a snippet for you: QWERTYUIOP: Is Blair actually Phillip Seymour Hoffman? MJK: Negative. He is an experimental textile factory by-product known as Arachno-Hypnol. One… Read More »New Maynard Interview
According to Maynard‘s Myspace Blog: Get this. Are you sitting down? Not sure how this happened, but I’m not complaining. Cuntry Boner just showed up at number 1 on the Billboard Dance Singles Chart and number 10 on the Billboard Singles Chart. Not kidding. Almost as funny as Jethro Tull winning a Grammy for Best METAL Performance. Hopefully it won’t go down. El Oh El.
Shinji has given me the link to a great interview with Maynard by Spin Magazine. Maynard talks in depth about his music, in particular Puscifer, and about his life in general. He also comments that Tool will be sticking around, while A Perfect Circle are dead. One of the best and informative interviews I’ve read with Maynard, so make sure you check it out.
