- Anyone gonna pick up that About A Son DVD? Ecard is here. How's about the soundtrack? It has some great tracks on it (it's sooooo much better than the Juno soundtrack). For example: "Put Some Sugar On It" (mp3) by Half Japanese. Warning: that Benjamin Gibbard cover of "Indian Summer" is fucking horrible. Just awful. Beat Happening make it sound easy. It is not.

- Pattern Is Movement have a new one entitled, All Together. It comes out May 6th. Take a listen: "Right Away" (mp3)

- Hey Hey... two sixeyes mixes in two days... here and here.
