Fuzz and Feedback

KANYE IN AUSTIN


Although Kanye West’s “Glow in the Dark” tour is purported to be probably the biggest, most earth-shaking tour of 2008, I’ve yet to see any pictures of the shows on any blogs. Here’s a few my friend Taylor Y. snapped at West’s show at the Frank Erwin Center last night! While I sadly couldn’t attend I heard the show definitely lived up to West’s reputation. The pictures show a massive screen, a wild array of lights, and a line of DJs in front of the stage. Looks like quite the production, check it out.

TIMES NEW VIKING COMING TO AUSTIN


Our favorite lo-fi fuzzers Times New Viking are heading to Austin on their summer track so says this article. Definitely check out this band and their newest release Rip It Off. You’ll be reminded why listening to albums on cassette tapes was so much damn fun.

TERROR THURSDAY: THE BEAST WITHIN


This week’s Terror Thursday movie The Beast Within at the Alamo Drafthouse here in Austin was a definite improvement over last week’s. The sheer amount of gore and grossness in the movie was more than enough to ratchet it up my nerdy-horror film scale. However, the film also features not just one but two creature rapes. That’s right. Raped. By a monster. Nice.
Because of this I have to give The Beast Within four out of five bloody pon-poms. It would be five based on grossness and cool-effects/acting/direction/gore alone, but if you took a date to this movie you’ll never speak with her again.
Seriously though, check out the trailer below and you’ll still only get a hint of the grossness in this movie. It really takes the time to show the agonizing details of person to monster transformation, yikes!

PS. Yes I did stay during the last thirty minutes and yes, it was nasty.
