Bastardometer posted on Toolarmy a link to an Audio Interview with Justin. I couldn’t get the link to work, but it’s probably because I don’t have the right plug in. Try your luck at this link. Ipecac have released some more extensive Melvins US Tour dates as well. Looks like they’re playing with Big Business again, so expect some dual drumming action. Check out the newly refurbished Ipecac website for… Read More »Justin Interview, Melvins Tour

A couple of posts from Blair today, the first… Read More »Mastodon to join Tool in Europe?
Maynard has risen from his sickbed to post an update on the A Perfect Circle website. Apparently Billy is working hard on his solo stuff, Maynard is working with Tool, on wine and doing Puscifer, and that 13th Step and eMotive lyrics should be up soon. Is this post some kind of sign that APC are not dead? Who knows. Thanks to those stoned dudes at The Tool Hotline for… Read More »APC Update?
