Bored this morning? Here’s a track I never got around to listening to before from the Underworld Soundtrack – Bring Me the Disco King by David Bowie, and is it covered by Maynard James Keenan, John Frusciante and apparently also features Josh Freese.

Blair has published the June Tool 2012 Newsletter, and it’s Part 3 in the Tales from the Loft series. As with the last few it’s quite an interesting read with a few things I didn’t know about the band such as this little trivia item: Up until this point, I hadn’t really listened to that much Tool, and was only familiar with the song “Opiate” and Undertow’s “Sober” – a… Read More »Tool June 2012 Newsletter released
