Invisible222 from Toolarmy posted today that he’s upload a whole stack of photo’s from his Tool Collection up onto Photobucket. It’s mainly promo CD’s and alternate covers, but there’s also some cool posters, as well as promotional matierial sent to record stores and such. If you’re interested in Tool merchandise, then it’s well worth checking out.
I know some people out there are interested in my opinion. If you’re not one of those, stop reading now. You won’t find (much) Tool information in this post. Since I don’t listen to every single album out there, rather than try and compile a top ten list out of the probably 11 albums I’ve listen to this year, I’m just going to post a few mini-reviews on albums that… Read More »Hellboy’s Best of 2006
Some more stuff for collectors on eBay again, this time a rare Aenima Promo Vinyl. According to the comment it’s the rarest and most sought after Tool Vinyl in existance. I would have thought the Lateralus Signed vinyl was rarer, but anyway…. Currently bidding puts it at US$355 with still a couple of days left to go.
Blair posted the December Newsletter today on Toolband/Army. I found it to be somewhat more interesting than usual, since it discusses Lipan Conjuring from 10,000 Days. Not a bad read, but don’t expect any kind of huge insight into Tool.
Someone has put an unopened DVD copy of Salival up on Australian Ebay. Bidding starts at $500 and there’s a Buy Now price of $600. He spouts some bullshit of their being a rare sticker (which I doubt) but otherwise the package seems to be in pretty good condition. If you’re in the market, check it out.
Just a quick warning, WordPress has released an update recently, and I’m taking the time to perform this update in the next hour. I’ll be activating and de-activating plugins while doing this, so expect some funny behaviour. I’ll let you know when things are back to normal…. Update: Well, looks like the upgrade has gone smoothly. Let me know if you see anything unusual, so so far so good.
This week, I’m asking how many shows are you planning on taking in on the Australasian tour? Are you just going to catch them in your local town? Are you planning to jump in a car and drive around the country? Will you be coming to the meetup in Sydney? Vote now and feel free to post your plans here.
Last weeks poll posed the question “what version of Maynard do you prefer?”. To my surprise the voting was a little closer than expected, however it came as no surprise to see the blue Aenima version of Maynard taking the win. Also seems that many of you like the current mohawked version of Maynard as well, despite a few derogatory comments regarding is weight. Here’s the results: Aenima – Blue… Read More »Maynard is hawt!
