In honor of Mr. Maynard James Keenan's birth anniversary -

Puscifer played nearby last month, but I was out of town at the time.   

Puscifer always makes me wish the Tapeworm project had seen the light of day.

How's this for the next best thing... ?

The added plus is hearing Letterman say "Tool" and "Puscifer"

I always related Tapeworm to A Perfect Circle, especially with "Counting Bodies...".

Tapeworm - Reznor = A Perfect Circle

Realistically, I couldn't imagine 2 egos like Keenan and Reznor ever being able to create anything without destroying it in the process.

True, but IF it happened without it ending up in murder/suicide...it'd be like the discovery of human life on Mars...

The Man Comes Around is a great track, also used in the opening credits for Zack Snyder's Dawn of the Dead remake.

Beastie Boys Co-Founder Adam Yauch Dead at 48
Influential rapper was diagonosed with cancer in 2009



Adam Yauch, one-third of the pioneering hip-hop group the Beastie Boys, has died at the age of 48, Rolling Stone has learned. Yauch, also known as MCA, had been in treatment for cancer since 2009. The rapper was diagnosed in 2009 after discovering a tumor in his salivary gland.

Yauch sat out the Beastie Boys' induction to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in April, and his treatments delayed the release of the group's most recent album, Hot Sauce Committee, Pt. 2. The Beastie Boys had not performed live since the summer of 2009, and Yauch's illness prevented the group from appearing in music videos for Hot Sauce Committee, Pt. 2.

Yauch co-founded the Beastie Boys with Mike "Mike D" Diamond and Adam "Ad-Rock" Horowitz in 1979. The band started off as a hardcore punk group, but soon began experimenting with hip-hop. The band broke big with their first proper album, Licensed to Ill, in 1986, and further albums Paul's Boutique, Check Your Head and Ill Communication cemented the band as a true superstar act.

In addition to his career with the Beastie Boys, Yauch was heavily involved in the movement to free Tibet and co-organized the Tibetan Freedom Concerts of the late Nineties. In 2002, he launched the film production company Oscilloscope Laboratories.

I have to admit this news hit me pretty hard.  The Beastie Boys were a huge part of my childhood and the development of my musical taste.  I never saw them live, which is something I've been trying to do for the past few years but never worked out.  I'm always going to regret that.

I loved you, MCA, and your weird-ass-sh*t comedic/artistic vision.  My heart goes out to your friends, family, and fellow devoted fans.

Holy Flashback Batman!

I managed to see them play live at this Lollapalooza....I just remember their set being one of the most insane things I'd ever experienced.....

BTW - towards, the tail end, it's tough to tell if Billy Corgan is a horrible interviewer or if MCA's just doing a bang up job of dicking him around...either way it's perfectly awkward.

Donna Summer dies of cancer at 63
Winner of five Grammy awards, disco queen had a string of hits in the 1970s, including Love to Love You Baby



Donna Summer, a singular vocal stylist whose string of disco hits spawned five Grammy awards and a following that has long outlived the genre, has died at age 63 of cancer.

Summer, a native of Dorchester, Massachusetts, died Thursday in Florida, according to the showbiz website TMZ, which first reported the news. A family statement later confirmed the death.

Born LaDonna Adrian Gaines, Summer broke into the music business in her early 20s as a backing singer for Three Dog Night. Her first hit, Love to Love You Baby, reached the No 2 spot on the Billboard charts in 1976. The string of hit singles that followed â€" Could It Be Magic, Last Dance, Hot Stuff and, most notably, I Feel Love â€" revolutionised 1970s disco.

In an era of disco superstars that included Gloria Gaynor, the BeeGees, and the Village People, Summer stood out for a soulful delivery that expanded her appeal beyond the dance floor. She scored her greatest successes with anthems of self-reliance and personal strength, her voice equally capable of fragility and defiant power.

As well as the five Grammys, Summer would go on to win six American Music Awards and had three multi-platinum albums.

In the early 80s, experiments with synthesizers and electronic drums carried Summer to new success. Her 1983 hit She Works Hard for the Money demonstrated that the queen of disco didn't need a mirrored ball to work her magic.

Summer's acting career included an appearance in Thank God It's Friday (1978), for which she performed her hit Last Dance. That song won Summer her first Grammy.

In a message posted on Facebook, Nick Rhodes of Duran Duran, paid tribute to her legacy and in particular the influence of one track. "For me, there is no doubt that her song I Feel Love had a dramatic effect on modern music. it was certainly a key influence on my work with Duran Duran.

"Together with producer Giorgio Moroder, Donna pioneered the use of electronic sequencers in dance music. Today that sound that seems so familiar, but in 1977, it was a brave new frontier. It's extremely rare that you hear one song that completely changes the way you perceive music, I Feel Love, achieved that."

Summer had been living in Nashville, Tennessee. She had three daughters and four grandchildren. Her family released a statement Thursday saying they were "at peace celebrating her extraordinary life and her continued legacy".

The depth of Summer's stamp on the zeitgeist was illustrated in a US Republican presidential debate earlier this year, when candidate Herman Cain quoted her in his closing statement.

"A poet once said, 'life can be a challenge, life can seem impossible, but it's never easy when there's so much on the line'."

The words are from The Power of One, which Summer recorded as the theme song for Pokémon: The Movie 2000.
