Eff Yes!

The Spike Jonze Where the Wild Things Are adaptation has had a troubled and well documented production, but it finally has a trailer, which means it is for real coming out! The fact that it looks awesome is great news as well. View the trailer (and download it for your iPod to show random strangers on the street) here.

Also, I want to share with you King Khan and the Shrines. King Khan is a real wild thing (see what I did there?) who plays a Velvet Underground and James Brown influenced garage-soul that is totally rad and infectious. There last album came out in Germany a few years ago and it's finally getting an American release pretty soon. I saw these guys live a little bit ago and they were absolutely phenomenal. Here's some songs:
I Wanna Be a Girl- this is my very favorite song on the album. It's kind of an anthem for guys who really really admire women.
Welfare Bread- Another great song. Khan wants you to chill out and relax. The government's going to take care of everything.
69 Faces of Love- This is a love song. This is a love song? It sure is pretty, and a little swoony even. Khan even works in some real '60s-styled psychedelia for good measure.
