Life's a Bore

LIFE IS A GIANT DRAG (UPDATE)

Our old pal Annie Hardy of our favorite shoegazey solo-act Giant Drag has been staying busy, what with recording her new Swan Song EP and all (by the way check out the new version of "Swan Song" up on the band's Myspace, it's absolutely haunting and gorgeous). Recently Annie

 hooked up with Joe from the Icarus Line to perform a DJ set under the moniker Mister and Misses Howl, which will hopefully speak to more collaborations between the two bands soon.

 Additionally Giant Drag have added their new song "Stuff to Live For" to a short film by photographer Bella Howard which you can check out at this website. We're waiting with bated

 breath for Annie's new EP, so remember to buy stuff from her Ebay Store so she has the money to put it out already!

TERROR THURSDAY - DEADLY SPAWN

Speaking of killer, last night's Terror Thursday featured one of the most gruesome and satisfying flicks to date: Return of the Aliens: The Deadly Spawn is an old fashioned monster movie gorefest, complete with slimy, non-CGI creatures, decapitations, face-ripping,

 explosions, and chewed-up grandmothers. Near perfection in my book, definitely deserving of four and a half out of five bloody pon-poms. Check out this unbelievably cool trailer if you don't believe the hype about this movie - go rent it NOW.

VIVIAN GIRLS REVEAL NEW 7"

We can't seem to get enough of the infectious Vivian Girls here at Cannibal Cheerleader, and with good reason as their jangly, whispery rock is as unique as it is listenable. The Girls have put up a new track entitled "I Can't Stay" up on their Myspace, and it's not on the streets until September on vinyl so this is the last bone we're being thrown for a while. Also their sold out self-titled debut is getting a re-release in the fall, good news for those of us who didn't hear about these ladies until too late! Here's a jam to spin this weekend.

See everyone next week! Any comments?
