It's a new cartoon by Brendan Small

Is it on Adult Swim?

Should be-- Cartoon picked up the show. I don't know when it'll start, but at least one of the Dethklok songs has been released.

I'll upload a quick classic country mix to buffistarawk, too, if there's room.

Ooh, yay.

Plate of shrimp, anyone?

Of Montreal’s latest album, The Sunlandic Twins

You know, this was the album I took to heart when Twin Cinema turned out to be just dissimilar enough from Electric Version for it to be a massive disappointment for me. I don't want that disappointment to be laid at the feet of The New Pornographers 'cause they're a force and I can't even pretend to appreciate music outside my own subjectivity; I'm just glad Of Montreal were there, is all.

On a completely unrelated note, I just watched an episode of The Avengers that had both Donald Sutherland and Charlotte Rampling in it. Rampling has a short scene with Diana Rigg and the pretty was, well, it was uncommon.

I know that ep, and I know DXM has talked about it too. A common retro fantasy of Avengers fans has Charlotte Rampling being the new girl after Diana Rigg left. That would've been fascinating.

I stumbled upon "Zardoz" on one of the cable movie channels a few weeks ago. Topless Rampling! Oooh la la!

That would've been fascinating.

To say the least.

I picked up Ian Mathews solo album If You Saw Thro' My Eyes as a Japanese import CD (muy dinero). It's from 1970 and features his ex-Fairport mates Sandy Denny and Richard Thompson prominently.

Here's the AMG review:

In late 1970, shortly after his band Matthews Southern Comfort hit number one in Great Britain with its version of Joni Mitchell's "Woodstock," Ian Matthews decided that he needed more creative freedom and left for a solo career. The subsequent album, If You Saw Thro' My Eyes, his fourth and best release since leaving Fairport Convention in 1969, was recorded and released within the next few months. It also reunited him with former Fairport bandmates Sandy Denny, who had left the band in late 1969, and Richard Thompson, who would depart by the time of this album's release. Both would bring their distinctive personalities to the proceedings without ever overwhelming Matthews' own vision. As a bandleader and songwriter, Matthews' growth is quite evident here, guiding a stellar cast through seven excellent new originals and three well-chosen covers (also included is the a cappella "Hinge" and its instrumental reprise). Throughout, Matthews' sweet yet evocative tenor is perfect for the material, which succeeds in its blend of British and American folk, rock, and pop. Furthermore, he once again shows a keen eye for the work of others, while also proving his prowess as a first-rate interpretive singer. A pair of songs written by the late folksinger Richard Farina -- "Reno, Nevada" (resurrected from Ian's days with Fairport) and "Morgan the Pirate" -- are given fresh, inspired readings, highlighted by Thompson, Tim Renwick, and Andy Roberts' superb guitar interplay, providing a real folk-rock edge. But it's the beautiful, prayerlike title track that is the record's crowning moment. Joined simply by Denny's piano and breathtaking second vocal, along with a tasteful backwards guitar interlude by Renwick, Matthews' quiet plea for guidance is as moving and personal a song as he's ever recorded. A number of other highlights, such as "Hearts," "Southern Wind," "It Came Without Warning," and "You Couldn't Lose," make If You Saw Thro' My Eyes one of the best efforts by a Fairport alumnus.

I'll toss a few tracks up on Buffistarawk for the RT and Fairport and Brit Folk Rock fans. Ian's got one of the prettiest male voices of the era, so if you like that kind of thing, check it out.

tina, I am giving Begonias my first real attention listen and my goodness Don't Make it Better made me do a head snap, I heard so much Gram Parsons in the track. I think we all know how I feel about my secret dead boyfriend Gram. So yes, lady, I am enjoying it - good call.
