You need to see this. Seriously - just watch it.

As if their upcoming collaboration with A Storm of Light wasn’t enough, I just found out that Nadja are about to crush us a little more. On April 28th the Toronto duo will release an album of covers titled When I See the Sun Always Shines on TV.

Here is the full track listing for When I See the Sun Always Shines on TV:

1. Only Shallow (My Bloody Valentine)
2. Pea (Codeine)
3. No Cure For The Lonely (Swans)
4. Dead Skin Mask (Slayer)
5. The Sun Always Shines On TV (A-Ha)
6. Needle In The Hay (Elliott Smith)
7. Long Dark Twenties (Kids in the Hall)
8. Faith (The Cure)

Nadja - “Dead Skin Mask” (Slayer)

Nine Inch Nails, Dillinger Escape Plan and “Wish”. Need I say more?

You might have heard already, but Faith No More are getting back together for some shows. Your excitement level regarding this will obviously vary depending on your latitude and longitude, or willingness to travel. Personally I think it’s very cool, but don’t see myself having an opportunity to see them. As of right now it is just European dates, but there has been some talk of doing shows in the states.

If you want to keep informed on exactly what is going on, bassist Billy Gould has been rocking things over on Twitter. Apparently they aren’t doing any press – just straight to the fans communications. What else that will involve other than Twitter remains to be seen.

When I was in grade eight my friend Jason bought a Guns N’ Roses bootleg that had a really shitty recording of a live show, along with a couple of unreleased demos. I got a dub of it and played that sucker frontwards, backwards and sideways. I’m not kidding. Somehow the tape got all twisted around and the only way it would play is in reverse.

Here’s a copy of “Shadow of Your Love” from that bootleg. I can pretty much guarantee will not get chewed up in your walkman and will only play in one direction.
