RIP MIX BURN: today's Half-Price Books finds
My Bloody Valentine - Loveless
Man or Astroman - Destroy All Astromen
(OK I was looking for Megadeth)
One begins outside. A lysergic crimson blur from which emerges a cropped, close view of a guitar and a bulbous form one can assume is a hand, lapsed in the strum. On both sides the same sanguine haze though slightly altered by warps in hue and composition. No titles, no insignia, just three words in small print aglow near the lower left corner: my bloody valentine.

RIP MIX BURN: New Singer, Same Journey
Steve Perry, singer; a man barely around. Gentlemen, we can rebuild him. We have the technology. We have the capability to build the world's first bionic singer. Steve Perry will be that man. We can make him better than he was before. Better, stronger, louder. Maybe just change his name...
this new guy is surreal to say the least ~ if Steve Perry can't / won't / or doesn't want to perform anymore, Arnel Pineda will do

Ragnarok Watch: Could the Large Hadron Collider be held back by its own future?
'Forget the far-fetched belief that it will create a black hole, two distinguished physicists have gone even further claiming nature itself is stopping the troubled £4.4billion project from getting off the ground.
In a theory reminiscent of the time travelling film Back to the Future, the theoretical physicists Holger Nielsen, from Denmark, and Masao Ninomiya, from Japan, have concluded that its discoveries could be so "abhorrent to nature" that they are coming back to stop their own creation...'

Steampunk Mickey
First Epic Mickey details spilled News | Wii | Eurogamer: "A source close to Disney has let slip the first details of Warren Spector's new Wii game, Epic Mickey, to Eurogamer.
The choice of platform, incidentally, boils down to Mickey's tools - paintbrushes, erasers, thinner, pencils and other artist tools - being mapped to Wii remote gestures.
But let's rewind a bit.
Epic Mickey is a tale about the 'forgotten' Disney stars: the rides, the characters, the lesser-known cartoons. When nobody any longer cares, they are cast into a dark void; a forgotten world of broken machines and bitter personalities - a bit like Sid's bedroom in Toy Story, but without the friendly furnishings.
This forgotten world is run by Oswald the Rabbit. He was Disney's first creation, made long before Mickey Mouse, and his jealousy of the newcomer has fermented for years. Now, finally, Oswald is ready for revenge.
He unleashes The Phantom Blot to wipe out Mickey and his cartoon world. The Blot pollutes the Disney universe with sticky black ink that makes colours run and fade (as seen on the Game Informer cover), so it's up to Mickey to restore peace and order. And this is where his tools come in.
Mickey has to draw and scribble his way through levels, mending broken bridges by applying the right colour paint or peering through walls after applying thinner. He can even clear rubble from his path by erasing parts of the world.
Our source told us Epic Mickey is a game about thinking and artwork - laterally considering your environment in order to overcome puzzles.
On top of that is a healthy dose of exploration, plus Mickey will be getting 'his first makeover in years'. 'That's why no one's seen his face yet,' our source explained, 'But he's far more retro than you've seen him for years.'"
