Director Craig Brewer (Hustle & Flow) is brewin’ up a drama/romance called Black Snake Moan to be released in theaters on March 2nd. Check out the music vid for Stackolee that features tractors, booze and steamy dancing.
To celebrate the release of Black Snake Moan, a limited 7-inch vinyl has been pressed. The record features two songs performed by Samuel L. Jackson, “Stackolee” and Blind Lemon Jefferson’s “Black Snake Moan”. Who in the world has a limited 7″ on vinyl featuring Samuel L Jackson? No one. That’s who.

You know I need you like the flowers need the rain
This just in from Justin Harris of Menomena:
Hello sugar daddies and sugar mommas,
I want to wish you all a happy valentine’s day! I love you all very, very much and I wish that I could make love to each and every one of you on a bed that is shaped like a heart and covered in rose pedals. But alas, you are all the way over there (elsewhere and/or classy) and I am all the way down here (Portland and/or in the gutter). Such is the nature of a long distance relationship. Fooey!!!!
I hope your day is swell and full of swelling. Much love.
-J-Bone
Spin.com report that Cassettes Won’t Listen cover Liz Phair’s (originally from 1993) “Fuck and Run” just in time for Valentine’s day. So, don’t feel badly if you decide to whore it up tonight, because Jason Drake and Liz will probably be doing the same thing.
