Tool to Hit the Road this Summer, New Album Underway

It's hard to believe, but it's been almost four years since Tool released 10,000 Days, but Maynard and company are ready to hit the road. They are also in the beginning stages of writing their next record. Below are the first set of Tool dates to be released.

"Members of the band are still in the process of writing new material (three days a week)… it shouldn’t be long before the dry-erase board is filled with a bewildering array of color-coded intros, progressions, agitatos, con sordinos, crescendos, diatonics, inversions, resolutions, transitions, variations, obbligatos, consonance, and endings – the arrangements that millions will attempt to down-load [sic] off the internet.”

Jun. 20 @ Toyota Center - Houston, TX
Jun. 23 @ Ford Center - Oklahoma City, OK
Jul. 7 @ Rexall Place - Edmonton, AB

Monday Morning Coffee Break

I had a great extended weekend. I must say that I wasn't that impressed with my trip to Hot Doug's. We waited about an hour in line and left a little disappointed, but I will give it another chance sometime. On the other hand, I enjoyed Great Lake Pizza much more. We arrived a little before five and there was already a line. The place is really really small and has room for 10 people. We ordered two of the three pizzas that they make. It was definitely on the expensive side, but I would back for sure.

I also made my first trip to Half Acre Brewing where I picked up a four pack (16oz cans) of their Gossamer Golden Ale. I am not a big fan of golden ales, but this beer is very refreshing and tastes great. It's back to the grind, but another short week awaits me. I hope everyone had a great weekend and happy Monday!

• The Gorillaz performed on "The Colbert Report"
• MMJ played a very intimate gig at NOLA's Preservation Hall

Thank Boosh It's Friday!

Today, I am finally making my first trip to Hot Doug's. The "Game of the Week" is Ostrich Sausage with Cumin Mustard Cream, Tabasco Olives and Aged Piave Cheese. Sounds delicious and you can throw in some duck fat fries! Head over to the New York Times website and you can hear their new album High Violet streaming in it's entirety. I hope everyone has a great weekend.
