Music for Perfect People

I suppose I can see the appeal to the movie The Social Network although I bet I don’t ever see it. Facebook was an awesome idea back in college when it was a young social networking site geared towards connecting college peers. At this point, however, I have graduated college, moved on to other ventures in life and use Facebook for the purpose of whoring out my website and it’s posts .. that’s about it. Pictures are no longer public, people worry about what others can see about them, and the original idea of Facebook seems to have gotten a bit out of hand. Whether you decide to see the movie or not (apparently it has gotten some positive reviews as you will see below,) the soundtrack to the film is something to note.

From the Film Stage:

As previously reported, Nine Inch Nails frontman Trent Reznor did indeed score David Fincher‘s The Social Network. Working with The Book of Eli‘s Atticus Ross, we have the first proof of that score as Sony just launched the official site for The Social Network. /Film has gathered the 46 new photos from the site if you want to check them out.

Reznor wasn’t kidding when he said it was “dark.” The score is minimal and brooding. I can’t wait to see how it fits into the film. If you haven’t already seen, Peter Travers said it was “the movie of the year that also brilliantly defines the decade.” Scott Foundas also had an extremely positive first review.

Tera Melos‘ latest release Patagonian Rats is such a solid listen but how will it translate live? This question is answered below with a video of the three piece rehearsing the track “Frozen Zoo” with their longtime friend Evan who will join the guys on tour as the 4th member!

From Sargent House:

A Message from Tera Melos:

“now that you’ve listened to patagonian rats a hundred times, you may have noticed that it’s densely layered with goodie bits. there’s lots of skronky blip sounds, electro snare rolls and melodies hidden all over the place. we thought it’d be fun to recreate as much of the record as we could live. so our friend evan will be touring with us, helping to provide the pieces that make up PR. tera melos as a four piece!? (GASP). we met evan on the very first night of our very first tour ever- some show in san jose where a girl punker, wearing pirate stockings, got shanked in the belly. if you squint your eyes evan could almost be related to jeff. check out evan’s band, Worker Bee.
the songs sound awesome as a 4 piece. we’re real excited for everyone to hear them. we’ll also be opening the TM vault and playing a few songs that have never been played live. rad.
here’s an early 4 piece rehearsal of “FROZEN ZOO”, thanks Terroreyes.TV for the video.

Bear Hands really impressed me with their ‘What a Drag’ 7” and since purchasing that lovely white vinyl, I have been hoping to see these fellas perform live. While I have yet to have my wishes come true, there are a bunch of live videos floating around the interwebs that I figured I would share with y’all.

Below, you can enjoy the band’s Rumpus Room Session and even download the set over at the Bear Hands website.

In addition to the Rumpus Room, Baeble music has recently posted the band’s entire live set from the Scoot Inn at this year’s SXSW festival. Check out the video after the break (damn autoplay.)
