The very first science fiction movie is a silence movie about a voyage to the moon.  Since it's french it's called "Le Voyage Dans La Lune".  And since it's French, Air wrote the soundtrack to it.  It was a coin flip between them and Daft Punk (HA, stupid americans!).  I find it interesting because it was made in black and white and hand colored versions back in the early 1900's.  The black and white version has long since been destroyed and the colored version was found in 1993 but had to be restored.  Naturally, wikipedia has more info on this film.

Also happening is Killing Joke's return, a bunch of tour announcements, and what the hell was Echo and the Bunnymen doing in a superbowl ad?

• Bleeker Bob's in NY is closing.  I've never been to the NY store, but the store in Los Angeles is where my brother and I bought tons of records.  In the 90's, my sister, brother and I would ditch school and drive all the way out to Hollywood (about an hour away from where we lived) just to go record shopping on melrose.  In 1995, I remember driving out there myself just to get the Stone Roses "Second Coming".  While I have fond memories about those trips, it was such a pain in the ass.  Thank god we don't have to deal with that shit anymore to get music.
