New Tron trailer out and it looks sick!  Fuck all these remakes like Karate Kid, Willy Wankers Chocolate Factory and every other film from the good ol’ trapper keeper years.  This is fucking TRON and this is what I’ve been fucking waiting for! Well that and someone to cast the next Cru Jones for Rad 2.

But anyways, I guess Daft Punk is supplying the score and Jeff “Crazy Heart” Bridges is playing papa Flynn. Nothing wrong with pairing up some crazy Electro-pop with a futuristic retina blowing flick and then topping it off with the reigning lead Oscar winner.

Usually, I would select a Hip-Hop vid, but this week’s video was selected upon request.

James Mercer of the Shins & Danger Mouse have a collabo effort releasing in mid March. From what I’ve listened to so far it should be one of those nice weather, outside drinking, good-feeling, spring-time albums. It’s currently streaming free on NPR & Myspace.

Here’s to one of my childhood heroes. Sorry to come with this downer news on a friday, but the GLC blog news simply can’t rest. So pour out a little liquor this weekend for Richard Milhous Stabone. I know Zhora the chimp will be…

According to a Russian newspaper, Zhora got aggressive at his first home—a circus—before being sent to a zoo, where he picked up a couple of bad habits: smoking and drinking beer. He would even “pester passers-by for booze,” the paper reports, before being transferred to a new city for rehabilitation treatment
