Okkervil River
The mighty Okkervil River played The Corner on Tuesday night and this being my second time, I was equally blown away by their professionalism and musicianship. I think all bands strive to be as tight and exciting as these boys and although I still enjoy Black Sheep Boy over the new album, we got a great setlist playing tracks from both albums plus some golden oldies. I love hearing Westfall and they finished off the gig with a kick-ass performance. Greatness indeed! More photos here and here.
Pop-culture roundup for June
Apologies for those people anticipating regular, new Hooverdust posts (ha!). Been incredibly busy with client/teaching work so I haven’t had the chance to put my heart and soul into the blog of late (but did I ever?). And I’m not going to lie to you, I’m not sure regular updates are in the cards any time soon. I’d really like to get on with building up the new site, streamline a few more things to make life easier. We’ll see what happens.
Regardless of all of that, here’s a few of my favourite pop-culture things of late I’d like to share to make up for some missing posts:

Jaden Smith is the new Karate Kid
I LOVE the first film so this is sacrilege. Plus Jaden is only 10 years old! Why not just make a different movie altogether? Via comingsoon.

Cracking Open the 4th Gen iPod Nano's
I tried opening my 4th Gen 40GB old skool iPod a couple of years back and broke mine. Don't try this at home! Via CNET UK.
Wall-E
Ultimately charming and heart-warming Pixar effort is a sheer delight from start to finish. Homage's to 2001, E.T and all your favourite childhood Sci-Fi movies are plentiful and just to realise so much emotion from an animated robot that hardly talks throughout the entire movie is a feat in itself. The Blu-ray version will be stunning!50 Amazing Gig Posters
