The All-For-Nots Debut

Everyone's favorite movie star, Kevin from Kevchino will be featured in the debut of the Michael Eisner produced internet TV show, The All-For-Nots.

It is a show about a fictional indie rock band (called the All-For-Nots, duh), that gets dicovered by a "blog" called kevchino (yes that kevchino) and goes on tour. The show will premier this Sunday (tomorrow) March 9 at 7:45 on HDTV (a pay channel like HBO). After that you can watch via kevchino or at the All-For-Nots Page.

Additionally, if you are headed to SXSW Eisner himself will be there to lecture and premier the show on Tuesday March 11.

Gnarls Barkley - The Odd Couple Reviewed

Our amigos over at Stereogum have given a "Premature Evaluation" to Gnarls Barkley's long awaited follow up to St. Elsewhere, the aforementioned The Odd Couple. You can read it here. If their review stands accurate, the album sounds only so-so. But we are still excited to listen.

Sigur Ros Takes Over YouTube!

If you have taken a look at YouTube today you'll notice something a bit unusual. Our Icelandic friends Sigur Ros have basically taken over.

The band becomes the first to ever release a full length movie on the sight and have all twelve slots on the home page to themselves. Heima will stream in full all day long.

No one would ever believe Sigur Ros to become much more popular than they already are, but I imagine that their are a lot of Fall Out Boy fans that have a new favorite band today. See the movie below.

This from their website:

this friday, march the 7th, sigur rós will be taking over the front page of youtube for the day. the band will take over all twelve slots on the sites home page and the centrepiece of this will be “heima” in full. this is the first time a full-length music documentary is available to view on youtube.

aswell as “heima”, the ten best entries of the “minn heima” youtube / sigur rós competition will be shown on the home page in addition to a special message from the band themselves.

Danger Mouse + Beck = Yes!

I know that Beck has really disapointed of late, but com'on! This has got to be good, right? On his follow up to 2006's The Information Beck will call Gnarls Barkley's main man Danger Mouse to turn the knobs. All we can say is, yes!

Since colaborating with Ike Turner, The Black Keys, MF Doom and Martina Topley-Bird we say when your done with Beck you can take a break Mr. Mouse.
