Things are pretty quiet in the Tool world at the moment, so in order to keep you clicking on my ads informed here’s the latest in the Book of Douche Bag series of videos from Puscifer: I’m still surprised we don’t have Puscifer dates for the tour yet. Hopefully soon! Just in case that Puscifer video doesn’t do much for you, perhaps you’ll find the new Mastodon album The Hunter more… Read More »The Book of Douche Bag. Vol 4. vs The Hunter
Tool Revisited is a series of articles dedicated to analysing, and discussing a Tool related topic, be it a song, album, show, side project or anything really. I plan on publishing one of these every week or so, and hopefully it may fill in some gaps in your own Tool knowledge, or even just generate some interesting conversation. If anyone has any ideas for future topics (or even wants to… Read More »Tool Revisited part 1: Divorced
While things may appear to be quiet on the Tool front, perhaps it’s not as quiet as it may seem.

Acts so far have been somewhat interesting, without being amazing until this post earlier this evening: A Perfect Circle are the other Green/Converse stage headliner at Big Day Out! So far, I found the leaks believable, but to be honest… Read More »Rumour: A Perfect Circle for Big Day Out

Rolling Stone has published the latest Puscifer video for the track Man Overboard. Once again the video is all CGI and created by Meats Meier:
Matt Irwin & Trent Allen, a couple of entrepreneurial Aussies have managed to secure the right to distribute Maynard’s wines into Australia. This makes us the first country outside of the USA to have official distribution for these products. It’s not a release of the entire range however, the first shipment will be the Chupacabra 2006, and I’d expect if this sells well then future wines will also become available.… Read More »Merkin Vineyards Chupacabra 2006 gets Australian release
Ok _________’s, Blair recently put out the August Tool Newsletter. It’s reasonably short, and only really contains a couple of Tool snippets, the most important probably being: (in regards to the new Tool album) Just when things were rolling along at the loft with the writing and arranging sessions (and what I’ve heard so far sounds truly great!) And: Also, things are looking good for the new Tool website… as… Read More »Tool August 2011 Newsletter
