Indie Movie "Once" Out On DVD Dec 18th
Once Trailer
I normally don't talk about DVDs, but this was such an amazing movie.
Some of the reviews the movie got:
“Once” is far from a conventional love story. It is, instead, the story of a creative partnership that develops by chance and that involves a deeper, riskier bond than mere sex ever could."- New York Times
"...an enchanting, unpretentious blend of music and romance you can watch forever... "Once" is about to come into your life and make it whole." - Los Angeles Times
"a magical, beguiling wonder.. think U2, not Riverdance, and get set for a gift of a movie that is absolutely worth seeing more than once. Blending the hip and the heartfelt, the tough and the tender, he creates a movie you want to hold close" - Rolling Stone
"For 'Once,' a rock musical with an irresistible charm" - The Boston Globe
"The way Carney handles their friendship, which is both a love story and a music story, you couldn't ask for a more wonderful pair. 4/4" - Chicago Metromix
Hailed as “Close to perfection” (New York Times) and winner of this year’s Sundance Film Festival Audience Award, Once also received top honors at the Dublin International Film Festival (Audience Award), as well as the Irish Film and Television Award for Best Music in Film. A duet of magical proportion, singer, songwriter and current Billboard chart-topper Glen Hansard (“The Frame”) and newcomer Markéta Irglová give extraordinary heartfelt performances as a street musician and a Czech immigrant as they write, rehearse and record songs that artistically reveal their unique love story.

Radiohead's In Rainbows Remixed By Amplive
Amplive decided to pick apart the most buzzed about record of the year, immersed himself in the ten tracks, dissecting every second, breaking the work of Thom Yorke and company down to its rhythmic core. The result is Rainydayz Remixes, an eight-song collection of reworked tracks that each serves as its own testament to Amplive’s ability as a versatile producer with an uncanny ear for timing and texture.
Tracklist and more details to come, but in the meantime, check the sleek, starry remix of “Nude,” featuring a verse from Too Short.

Destroyer to return in 2008 with a new album
Dan Bejar and friends return on March 18th 2008 with their 8th studio album as Destroyer.
Trouble in Dreams continues Bejar's lyrical and musical assault on all that is stagnant and stale in modern popular music. His is a body of work that consistently flouts convention in favor of musical leaps of faith, statements of purpose cloaked in subterfuge, and the joyous refrain of an optimist's heart cloaked in cynicism.
Anthems sprawl with shifting layers of guitar and piano, spinning just to the edge of chaos and back, while whispers in the corners reference fantasical realms and mysterious women who may or may not approve of our interloping voyeurism. It's all magical and terrifying and life-affirming. It is as it should be. It is Destroyer.
Track Listing:
Blue Flower/Blue Flame
Dark Leaves From A Thread
The State
Foam Hands
My Favorite Year
Shooting Rockets (From The Desk Of Night's Ape)
Introducing Angles
Rivers
Leopard Of Honor
Plaza Trinidad
