A couple of people have mentioned to me that the Tool edition of Revolver magazine is now available (or available to order) in Australia. I’m yet to see one, but keep your eyes peeled!
A new Youtube video has been posted, and according to the blurb it is some “making of” footage of the Dozo video thrown together by Meats Meier. There’s nothing particularly exciting or new, just really a collection of animations from the video. Puscifer “Dozo” Making of sorta.

Mike D pointed out an article on Gamernode.com which talks about Guitar Hero 4, and has what appears to be an official blurb for the game taken from an online survey site: Guitar Hero In this new Guitar Hero game, join up with your bandmates to form the ultimate super group and rock your way to the top. Shred on lead, rhythm, or bass guitar (three options on one guitar… Read More »Leak Tool Guitar Hero news?
As promised, Blair released the June 2008 newsletter, and this time it contains some “details” of what’s up in the Tool world. Head over to Toolband/Army to read it, but here’s my summary. Adam is: working on some undisclosed entertainment industry related project? Guitar Hero perhaps? also involved in the construction of some future band-related endeavor.

A new post on Toolband/Army shows off Justin‘s nephew Charlie, who has just entered the world. The accompanying picture which I’ve included below shows Charlie, and possibly Justin, though without the beard I can’t tell!Also noted in the post is that Justin’s store Lobal Orning has shut down, though the do plan on revamping the website with lots of “cool stuff” in August.
Blair has posted the May 2008 Newsletter on Toolband/Army. It continues the May 2007 Newsletter regarding a trip to Mexico with Blair, Danny, Adam and a whole menagarie of the usual culprits. An interesting read, but don’t expect any Tool news or insight.
