NEW. MUSIC. TUESDAY. 9/15

I have to echo my friend Scott Perry's of NEW MUSIC TIPSHEET sentiments about today's release date. There is no need for 400 new releases on a single Tuesday. All of these are competing with each other, which means that most people will buy 1 or 2, then steal the rest. Wake up record labels, spread out the love and drive people into stores all year round!

Well, here are the best of those 400 for you to pick up (no video links this week, just Mypsace)

A. Broad. Way. Documentary.

The brainchild of my friend Rob, A BROAD WAY, is a unique look at NYC: One Hour. One Street. 258 Directors. The collaborative documentary put a filmmaker on every block of Broadway from it's Northern tip at 220th Street to Battery Park and documented all 12.4 miles of Manhattan for one hour -- the exact same hour.

New. Music. Tuesday.

Lots of good ones today, then some new band called "The Beatles" are reissuing all their albums on th 9th along with some video game that is barely being advertised. And also some rapper named after a NYC subway line has an album coming out on Friday.

Nine. Inch. Nails.

I was lucky enough to score tickets to see the two final NYC shows at Terminal 5 last week for NINE INCH NAILS. Amazing SETS that featured some deep tracks as well as a guest appearance by PETER MURPHY.



Unfortunately for my LA friends, Trent had to reschedule the shows since he got sick. I'm sure there were goths jumping off buildings when they heard the show was canceled, but there is no reaction like this:

Heavy. Metal. Thursday.

Two great things in Heavy Metal going on tonight.

First there is SHADOWS FALL on LATE NIGHT WITH JIMMY FALLON. They'll be performing in support of their Sept 15th release of RETRIBUTION. Other guests on the show are Jason Bateman (awesome) and Ashlee Simpson-Wentz (um).



Second, for those of you in NYC, if you are looking to rock out some before heading home to catch Shads, then head to the TONES OF DEATH showcase tonight at FONTANA'S. The show will feature BLACK ANVIL, THE BINARY CODE and a VERY special guest. Doors are at 8pm and it is FREE!



Late Night With Jimmy Fallon, NBC, 12:35am EST
Fontana's, 105 Eldridge St, NYC

More. Tim. Burton.

Earlier this year, I saw the trailer for the new Tim Burton movie "9" and immediately put it on my calendar for 9/9/09.



I know a lot of people are excited about the movie, but I've still been wondering if either Tim or the director (Timur Bekmambetov) were influenced by the 1998 short film "MORE".



It is definitely one of my favorite shorts of all time, and was actually used as the video for the song "Hell Bent" by KENNA. Check 'em both out and head to the theaters next week for what looks to be another Tim Burton masterpiece.
