The Blitzen Trapper Massacre
Rainn Wilson, or the weird yet hilarious guy we all know as Dwight Schrute from the US version of The Office, stars in this short film, The Blitzen Trapper Massacre, as a homicidal fan who awkwardly tries to join the band but inevitably gets rejected.
Co-written by Wilson and Blitzen Trapper band member, Brian Adrian Koch, and co-directed by Wilson and Joshua Homnick, this short film follows Wilson (with his creepy facial hair and even creepier disposition), getting rejected by the band and the wacky killing spree which he consequently embarks on. From bites to the jugular to putting smashed glass in a sandwich, Wilson crosses the band members off his hitlist one by one, and ends his massacre by performing a cover of their track Furr, covered in blood, to a rather unimpressed and enraged audience.
Hilarious and ridiculous, this short film should act as a warning to other bands planning to say no to fans.

Exxon Valdez 22 years on
Minutes after midnight on March 24, 1989, the Exxon Valdez super tanker ran aground and began leaking oil in Alaska's beautiful and biologically rich Prince William Sound. Today, the sound's herring fishery has not yet recovered, and heavy crude oil can still be found on some beaches just below the surface sand. The lingering lessons of the Exxon Valdez spill are more vital than ever as we contemplate drilling in the extreme, remote and ecologically fragile U.S. Arctic Ocean.

Bill Callahan - Baby's Breath
Master folksmith Bill Callahan’s new LP, Apocalypse, is poised for arrival this April 19th. Above is the second track off that LP, described by a press release thusly: “After the album opening salvo of ‘Drover’, the dust settles to reveal - in ‘Baby’s Breath’ - a man on a plot of land which he has chosen to settle. He walks between weed and flower, represented here by dueling guitar lines that could only be described as ‘Middle Western Blues.’” The description goes on in heady, lofty prose, but I think it’s best just to have a listen. It’s brilliantly produced, sparsely arranged, and cinematic in tone, while deftly intertwining a variety of folk modes, all girded by Callahan’s formidable baritone. You can download this single for free at record label Drag City’s website.

♪♫ Four Tet - Unspoken (unreleased version)
Rounds is the third album by Four Tet. It was released on 5 May 2003
A promotional version of the album was issued in March 2003. The only track different from the version on the final release is "Unspoken", which originally featured an alternate piano melody sampled from the Tori Amos song "Winter". Because Amos' record company refused to clear the sample, a new melody was improvised for the official release of Rounds.

Rico Rodriguez - The Legacy (Documentary)
"This documentary (made by Jep Jorba, Miquel Àngel Arnáiz and Ester Casals) is a very humble documentary, in terms of money and material resources. We know that it has its limitations and could be much better.
In spite of that fact, the national TV in Catalunya wanted to show it and everything was OK for the broadcasting. We thought that should be no problem with the rights of the songs, as we didn't get almost any money for that broadcasting.
The surprise was when the companies that owns the rights of the songs asked me an ashaming quantity of money that it was impossible for us to pay. We explained that we were students, that we didn't had that kind of money. We got no reply. Those are the so called "defenders of the rights of the culture-makers". Pure rasclaat lies!
So, after two years, I've decided leaving apart the top-down strategy to an horizontal one, creating this blog, in order to show the entire documentary to everyone.
Please enjoy it!"
