For those of you contemplating staying up on Saturday night to watch Tool program Rage, here’s a link that may help. It’s the list of tracks Tool has programmed to show. Also being shown that night are all Tool and APC videos, as well as Ween by the looks of things, who, in case you didn’t know, are great! Thanks to James for the link!
Australia’s The Age newspaper spoke to Tool recently, and have posted the interview online. Presumably it’s been printed in the paper as well. For all you fans who’ve asked about Tool on iTunes, here’s your answer: Keenan thinks iTunes is another chance for the industry to screw the artist. “They’re using the same old model,” he says. “There’s no extra marketing, no package deductions, but they’re still ripping the artist… Read More »The Age speaks to Tool
According to Toolband (and I’m sure Toolarmy as well, though I can’t get on!): For those of you who plan on attending the 10,000 Days listening party at CoSM (FRIDAY, MAY 5th 8 PM – MIDNIGHT), at some point during the event Alex will be giving “an illustrated talk about his work and interaction with Tool.” Admission is $10.00. Sounds like fun to me. Wish I was in New York!
Here’s a brief Tool interview on the X-Press Online website. Although short, it actually has a couple of different questions to the usual interviews I’ve been reading. Tool’s challenge now is to reproduce the epic live. The ultimate Tool show, Keenan says, is “A situation where we can set up a holographic performance and simulcast to different cities. To the point where even the audience is holographic for us. We… Read More »Xpress Tool Interview
James sent me a couple of links today to Meats Meier’s website. Meier provided a couple of the images for the 10,000 Days booklet. Check them out here: http://www.3dartspace.com/preview.php?id=87 http://www.3dartspace.com/preview.php?id=83 http://www.3dartspace.com/3dart/images/Reaching_blue_low.jpg http://www.3dartspace.com/3dart/images/Reaching_red_blue_low.jpg
I finally recieved my 10,000 Days CD in the post last night, and let me assure you all who haven’t yet invested, the packaging is awesome, and is well worth adding to your collection. The CD is now available to purchase in most parts of the world, so if you’ve downloaded already, then now is the time to come good with the cash. The drugs and hookers Tool take on… Read More »10,000 Days received
Australian Tool fans can enter a competition on the Sony site to win a copy of 10,000 Days, a 10,000 Days blockmount and a copy of the “rare” Lateralus Vinyl. Probably not as “rare” as my signed vinyl though…. Go here for details. Thanks to Nemesis for the tip on that.
There’s plenty of bits and pieces floating around regarding the recent Coachella show. A couple of guys at Toolnavy has posted some pictures of the show (though the one’s I’ve seen aren’t of great quality) and Distortion Online seems to have a few mp3s. Just a reminder that Tool are appearing on Rage this weekend as guest programmers. The Rage website has a little preview video of Danny and Maynard… Read More »Coachella, Rage, Sunrise
I’ve updated the list for Midnight Sales in the US, which, sadly for you guys is one of the few places to start selling 10,000 Days. Anyway, mosey on over to the Midnight Sales page. There’s still plenty of gaps, but based on that list it’s probably safe to say alot of Hastings and Tower Record stores seem to be having midnight sales, especially those in the CBDs. If anyone’s… Read More »US Midnight Sales
