CWK - Hang Me Up To Dry

Check out this new video for "Hang Me Up to Dry" by Cold War Kids. It was made by The Malloy Bros, the same guys who did videos for The White Stripes and Wolf Mother. It looks really cool.

Also, be sure to vote for CWK for Spin.com Artist of the Year.

The Black Dossier hasn't even been released yet, and already Top Shelf is advertising the third volume of The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (yes, they are two different books). Top Shelf gives a very detailed plot synopsis, so if you like to be surprised you may not want to read it. I'll just say that this promises to be the most ambitious League story yet, with the action taking place in three time periods: 1910, 1968, and 2008.

Also, psycho fans won't want to miss this new interview, in which Alan Moore tells more about the next volume of League, as well as his views on a broad range of topics, including his most rational explanation of what he calls "magic" that I have heard so far (hint: it has less to do with manipulating the physical world and more to do with the creation of ideas).

Winter,
Slumbering in the open air,
Wears on its smiling face
A dream of Spring.

Happy Groundhog Day, everyone!
