Ok so now I am living in the future and it is taking me back to the past. A real working hover board! Now if it could just hold some weight.

SexIsFun.net is about to release what is surely to become a hit sex education book. It is graphic novel style that is totally graphic and sex positive. Check the video below for a preview. You can pre-order a copy of the book by clicking here. If you get your order in soon your book will even be autographed!
A few months ago I went to a Murder City Devils show and saw the best opening opening act I have ever seen. That’s right. They were the first of two openers. And they were good enough to have been the headliners (of course assuming the headliner was not Murder City Devils. All respect.) The band was Cold Lake.
I just discovered that we the people can be a part of helping Cold Lake fund their first album through Kickstarter. It is basically like pre-ordering different versions of the album for very reasonable prices. For instance you can pledge $5 for a digital download when the album comes out or you can pledge $25 for a “total ridiculous collector scum 7″ box set. Five lathe-cut 7″ records. Includes lossless download. May or may not include bonus track(s).”
That’s not all. If you want to pledge even more money you can attend a practice with the band (they provide the beer) or even hire them to play a private show.
So what are you waiting for! Get to pledging now! Funds must be pledged by August 10th.
Check out this video of Wilco from French (you can click on a button in most articles to read in English) all-things music site La Blogotheque… they film and post ‘Take Away Shows’ – intimate and beautiful videos of their favorite bands. This Wilco one sounds like it was a long shot, but they went for it and got the footy!

They also have an ‘In a Van‘ series where they film just that – Bands performing in a van. Good stuff.
Check the site for more from Phoenix, Tegan & Sara, Josh Rouse… It’ll be worth it.
