A new post from Blair on the Toolband site confirms that the Lateralus Vinyl Edition will be released some time in August, and that the 23rd ‘sounds pretty good’. This may put to rest the rumours regarding Teleincision coming out in August (presuming of course Teleincicion is a legitimate release at all, which I doubt). More details are to come in the next few days.
Peach, Justin’s old band look like they’re about to release a new CD, entitled Suns of the Tundra. The sample sound pretty damn good to me, forcing me to re-think my previous thoughts on how good they are….
Myspace sucks, and unfortunately I don’t have the know how to post a link to this, but Mike from Pigmy Love Circus has said on his Myspace site: Tool is recording soon and when they finish we start on our opus and then tweak it out while Tool is on tour this year. So could Tool be touring by the end of the year? Sounds good to me, even though… Read More »Myspace Sucks
The prp is reporting that: Tool will reportedly be issuing a vinyl edition of their “Lateralus” album in North America on August 23rd. The outing is said to be a double-vinyl effort on 4 picture discs, packaged in a special plastic gatefold with holographic foil. No official word has been released as of yet however. Too bad for us non-North Americans, not that the idea of Vinyl is that appealing… Read More »Lateralus Vinyl
It seems as though Blair has finally given us some Tool information on Toolband. Nothing particularly exciting, just more confirmation that everything is going smoothly, and that the band a being delibertaly quiet regarding the recording process, though as soon as they decide to release further info, it’ll appear on the Tool site rather than some random record store. Blair also left some code in the post “… – ..… Read More »… – .. – – . – –
I’m sure all of you have noticed the semi-recent update to the splash screen on the Tool site (www.toolband.com), but you may not know who designed it. The man in question is Joshua Davis, and he’s quite a well known Flash designer/artist byt the looks of things. Check out his site at www.joshuadavis.com and make sure you check out the Projects: Web section for some (very brief!) insight into the… Read More »Joshua Davis
Not much new stuff to post about at the moment, so I’ve done some digging and come up with 3 interesting things: 1. Hidden away in Blair‘s profile on Toolarmy are some posts talking about having a meeting with Tool in the next week, and working on having a new Web-Chat, as well as updating Toolarmy. As usual I’m not getting my hopes up about a Toolarmy update just yet,… Read More »Slow News Week
Blair has once again made a couple of posts on Toolband/army. A lot of fluff but a few interesting things. Firstly Volto and Pigmy Love Circus should be playing in August, when Danny is less busy with his other band. Secondly the Pigmy’s seem to have a myspace site here. Finally, and more importantly to us Tool fans, that he’ll reveal further information on “this ‘Teleincision’ business that I keep… Read More »BMB Ramblings
A posting on Toolarmy has denied the release date advertised in certain Hastings stores in the US. One of the Tool inner circle (Kat to be exact) has denied that the 23rd of August is the release date, and that Toolarmy members will indeed be the first to hear the announcement. Good for us members I guess. For those Toolarmy members out there, feel free to PM/positively Karma me, my… Read More »Tool release date not true!
Rolling Stone (amongst others) are reporting that Billy Corgan is attempting to get the Smashing Pumpkins back together. This could potentially mean that James Iha will be departing the merry-go-round that is A Perfect Circle. Given the bad words that were said by James regarding Corgan and co, I’d personally be surprised if he jumps at the chance, but if the moneys right……
