The status of my favorite Swedish new-wave/shoegaze group's 3rd LP has been undermined since its first delay from the initial May 2008 due date. Constantly pushing the album back has created a buzz; leaving us only with a taste (the aging single, Freddie & The Trojan Horse, was released last spring) of what's to come. A promise of melodic evolution and a krautrock influenced sound has made this my most anticipated album of 2009.
Mad World
To follow in the footsteps of No More Heroes, Platinum Games (formerly Clover - the studio that brought us Okami, and Viewtiful Joe) plans to carry the torch of "unlikely ultraviolent wii games released in the year's first quarter." Mad World is a brawler with distinctive comic book art, a Running Man inspired plot, and the ability to jam a stop sign through another man's skull.
Inglorious Bastards
Inglorious Bastards
The long speculated Quentin Tarantino war film is finally coming true, with Brad Pitt reciting lines. As interesting as the plot appears to be, I'm most looking to see if QT has the restraint not to tar it with his obsession with camp.
