Antoine is my favorite person right now.

UPDATE:
REEEEEEEEEEMIIIIIIIX.

In 1982 a movie was dropped on the public called Tron. Ground breaking visual effects and a storyline like nothing anyone had ever seen before made it an instant classic. Since then, the cult following grew exponentially. Kids that weren’t even around for the original movie were let in on it by older siblings and parents. After numerous rumors and false starts on a sequel, Disney showed they were serious about it with a trailer at the 2008 San Diego Comicon. 2 years later, the movie is coming out. December 17th. This year.

Jeff Bridges v.s. Jeff Bridges in an all out battle for program supremacy.

Almost forgot, Daft punk wrote 24 original tracks for the movie score. Here are six of them. They’re big. They’re epic. I’m thinking about light cycles right now.

The Pitchfork Music Festival was last weekend in Chicago. I flew in to play a show at Darkroom but couldn’t stay for the fun. Here’s some footage shot by Sean Dorgan of the always fun and wonderful Steff Bomb at the fest.

Our friends over at Veoba celebrated the coming out of their new site with a bash at Beauty Bar in Chicago. Played by Jokers of the Scene, Acid Girls, Necrocomicon, and Just Desserts, the thing was popping all night. Talking to people sitting in beauty parlor chairs, getting sweaty as hell on the dancefloor, disco, booze, photos and people getting pedicures. At the end it got popping again when some other jokers lit off some fireworks outside. After that we hit up Five Star to afterparty with the massive amount of dirty girls over there. Good times. And to think I just went in there to play some pool.

Bigups to Gina over at Veoba for the assist. If you want to see the rest of these pictures go here or here. Word.

For those of you that don’t know, Bootleg Sessions is one of the dopest fixed gear trick videos out there. I talked to Burd over there and they just finished shooting the 4th installment and shipped it off to the replicator. That means this thing should drop mid-May sometime. Why do we care you may ask? The YB+KS track Heavy Catamaran from The Heavy 7″ is featured when they hit London and in their words “It fits so effing perfectly.”

Here is the trailer:
