The Soviettes, Land of the Clear Blue Radio. From the Soviettes LP, 2003. For Sarah.

Although The Soviettes are sadly no more, you can catch two-thirds of the band (Annie Holoien and Danny Henry) and their band, The Awesome Snakes on Thursday, July 30th with Seattle’s own Coconut Coolouts (who just released excellent new music I’ll jaw about later on the blog) at the 7th Street Entry in the Soviettes/Snakes home base, Minneapolis.

Mickey Rourke gets inky with Sylvester Stallone in The Expendables.

After seeing Rourke’s attempt at DIY tattooing, Sylvester Stallone might want to reconsider trusting Rourke with a needle full of ink while his back is turned. Anyway, you can watch some cool behind-the-scenes stuff straight from the set of The Expendables, here.

The bang-bang, buddy flick will be out on April 23rd, 2010.
