The Needle Drop turned me on to Glasser … and I am super happy because of it.

Eye Candy Update!
Here’s some people/things I am finding visually stimulating right now.
Colby Keller! I don’t need to say any more than that.
Yep. I have developed a wee crush on Shawn Ashmore (recently seen on “Fringe“).
The kid (Michael Paul Stephenson) from “Troll 2” grew up quite nicely!
I have been watching “Survivorman” via Netflix and discovered Les Stroud.
The 2010 remaster of Nine Inch Nails’ “Pretty Hate Machine” is out this week and Rob Sheridan‘s “reimagined” packaging is quite fantastic.
“Tron Legacy” is mere weeks away!
The best and most visually stunning movie of the year, Christopher Nolan’s “Inception,” will be out on Blu-ray in less than two weeks!
Post MoogFest
I had a day ticket to MoogFest this past Saturday and saw some cool bands.
I had never heard Caribou before I saw them live. They kinda knocked my socks off.
Massive Attack played later in the evening and knocked the roof off the Civic Center.
Holy Christmas!!!
Love and Its Opposite
The new Tracey Thorn album (“Love and Its Opposite”) is out and you should get your copy now because it’s freakin’ incredible!!!
PSB Pandemonium
Out now in the U.K. and on March 23rd in the States!
The Big Exit
Quickie Recommendation
So, yeah … I am now totally in love with Editors.
Bat For Lashes!

Some More Peaches
Here’s a fun video showcasing costumes and live shots from Peaches current tour. If you pay attention you will see the super cute Mathias Brendel.
Peaches Rocks!
Zounds!
I saw Peaches at The Orange Peel and it’s taken a wee bit to recover. I knew that the show was gonna be wild going in … but I came away less shocked by tactics and more impressed by her pure showmanship. She was amazing … from crowd surfing to champagne shaking to blood spitting to multi-costume changing. Her backing band, Sweet Machine, rocked hard and matched up well with Peaches in terms of showmanship. I was so into it I actually took my shirt off when Peaches commanded us to.
Hopefully she’ll play Asheville again.
Also of note was M.E.N., the opening act. Fronted by JD Samson (of Le Tigre fame), M.E.N. performed on a great set of electronic based dance music. I wish they had played longer.
And what’s a live show without some eyecandy? I fell madly in lust with Sweet Machine‘s drummer, Mathias Brendel … handlebar moustache, fuzzy chest … and he’s German! HUBBA!
New Old Favorite
Thanks to Dr. Phibes, my new favorite album is from … 2005!
(Or 2007 if you count the delayed U.S. release.)
This is some good shit …
