Having been a huge Slipknot fan for a good 10 years, you
can only imagine my excitement when I woke up to news that masked metal heads
will be releasing their 5th studio album ‘.5: The Gray
Chapter’ on the 17th of October!
Surely as iconic as any band in the annals of rock, Slipknot has starred on
the cover of innumerable national and international publications, from Rolling
Stone, SPIN, and Alternative Press to Guitar World, Revolver, and Billboard.
What’s more, Slipknot has received myriad honors, awards, and nominations,
including a Grammy Award for “Best Metal Performance” as well as six further
Grammy nods, multiple Kerrang! Awards, Revolver Golden Gods Awards, NME Awards,
and Metal Hammer Golden Gods Awards, and nods for both MTV Video Music Awards
and MTV Europe Music Awards. This is clearly a band that has mastered
their art.
.5: The Gray Chapter is also available in a wide range of
distinctive versions, including standard and special
edition CDs (2 bonus tracks and expanded packaging) as well as
limited edition, colored vinyl double LP set.

FVEY – For Dads that like to grumble about the

We've just received another shipment of the HUGELY popular Guardians
Of The Galaxy: Awesome Mix Vol 1!
If you've been lucky enough to see the blockbuster smash hit film, you know
that music plays a huge role.
Explaining how the songs come to play in the story, director James Gunn says,
“One of the main story points in the movie is that Quill has this
compilation tape that he got from his mother before she died that she made for
him. It was of songs that she loved, all songs from the 1970s, and that’s the
only thing he has left of his mother and that’s the only thing he has left of
his home on Earth. He uses that as a connection to his past and to the sadness
that he feels of having left all that and lost all that.”

The incredible return of Flying
Lotus on Warp. You're
Dead! sees producer Steven Ellison taking us on a transcendental
voyage into the afterlife. A wholly immersive, psychedelic journey, it's a
virtuoso performance from one of the decade's most talented and inventive
artists.
The album features contributions from Herbie Hancock, Kendrick Lamar,
Captain Murphy, Snoop Dogg, Angel Deradoorian, Thundercat and Niki
Randa. Original artwork by Japanese comic book artist Shintaro
Kago.
‘You’re Dead!’ is a shamanic pilgrimage into
the psychedelic unknown of the infinite afterlife. A sonic, visual and
metaphysical fusion of technological innovation and technical virtuosity that
amounts to a transcendent, mind-expanding plasm that could only exist between
our world and another.

Hey, remember that time a couple of years ago you were showing off your sweet
stereo setup to your mates? It had everything: all the latest features AND an
awesome sound. And yet a couple of years down the track technology seems to have
left it behind…
Nowadays everyone has music on their phones or streamed online that they want
to share at a party, and you're the one stuck messing with cables trying to plug
the things in!
Rather than throwing the whole system out, why not upgrade it with something
like the Logitech
Bluetooth Audio Adapter? Your stereo system gets all the wireless simplicity
of Bluetooth, and you don't have to fork out thousands for a whole new
system.
Now you can spend less time at your parties messing round with cables and
more time hanging out with your mates or busting a move on the dance floor!
