And out of nowhere comes a new Nine Inch Nails album, “Ghosts I-IV“. 36 instrumental tracks available right now as downloads only. The two cd set will drop into retail stores on April 8th.

Some Things
Well, yesterday’s big snow petered out as usual and we only got about 1/2″ – 1″ here in the good old mountains. Bah! Our bonus along with the snow has been super frigid temps (like in the single digits). I don’t see how people live in the far north.
We have one more rehearsal of “Minor Demons” before opening tomorrow night. The cast (myself included) is finally starting to get the script settled in our brains. There has been a whole lot less jumping all over the place though there are still the few dropped lines. It’s gonna be interesting to see how people react to the show.
New Year’s Eve pictures are coming. I promise!
Meanwhile, enjoy some gloom and some doom …

I Transform …
Siouxsie is a freakin’ Goddess!
Meanwhile … CONSUME!!!
While I am starting to tear what little bit of my hair remains out over “Cabaret,” you can go to your local store and grab these great goodies that came out this week.
One of my favorites from earlier in the year … William Friedkin’s film version of the Tracy Letts stage play “Bug.” I have never been a huge Ashley Judd fan, but she made me a believer playing the emotionally damaged and physically abused waitress Agnes. Micheal Shannon also is really great as Peter (a lone drifter whom the bugs soon follow).
Finally!!! After eight years of waiting, the good folks behind “The Simpsons” have released another cd (“Testify“) containing music and musical numbers from the show. Highlights from the 41 track disc are the B-52’s performing “Glove Slap” and a medley of tunes from “The President Wore Pearls” (the super excellent “Evita” parody episode).
Tonight!
Tonight I am saying “Screw you, Cast & Crew of ‘Cabaret!'” and heading off to The Orange Peel … ’cause tonight I get to see Blonde Redhead. Whoo-hoo!

Blonde Redhead!
Have I mentioned that I totally excited that Blonde Readhead is playing the Peel?
Sweetness!
The Orange Peel has just announced that Blonde Redhead will playing there on September 19th. Rawk!
Week-Ending Exit
The day has kinda gotten away from me. So, I will leave you with the totally rockin’ performance of Jefferson Airplane’s “High Flyin’ Bird” from the 1967 Monterey Pop Festival.
Coming July 9th!
Garbage has announced a “best of” collection that will hit stores on July 9th. The collection will include a new track called “Tell Me Where It Hurts.” Coming with the CD will be a DVD featuring all of Garbage’s video. Sweet! And if you just can’t get enough, there will be a limited edition 2-CD release with a disc of remixes. Super Sweet!
Now if they could just get things together and release an official collection of their B-Sides I would be in heaven.
