Discussion Board Exclusive Baroness Glow In The Dark 8 Inch Dunny

Kidrobot is releasing a new, limited edition “Discussion Board exclusive” 8 inch Dunny with one of their smallest runs to date. Kidrobot is only making 290 pink Baroness glow in the dark 8” Dunnys, with 190 of them being sold exclusively to Kidrobot discussion board members. The remaining 100 “will be available for purchase at the 7 Deadly Sins Party in NYC on April 18th (during NYCC).” (link)


This Dunny will be ridiculously hard to get and I am sure the aftermarket prices on these bad boys will be hitting the roof. Retail on the Baroness GID 8 inch Dunny is only $50.00, but if you’re hoping to get it for that reasonable price you’d better act fast because these are sure to sell out immediately upon release.

Scarlett Johansson – Anywhere I Lay My Head

I bet most of you didn’t know Scarlett Johansson was releasing an album comprised almost entirely of Tom Waits covers, did you? The album, Anywhere I Lay My Head, is due in stores on Tuesday, May 20th and if the album is anywhere as bad as its cover art then it’s going to be a real bomb. I’ve been hearing about Johansson’s voice and this upcoming album for months, but I really don’t have a good feeling about it. On the plus side “Johansson was joined in the studio by David Bowie, who lends guest vocals on ‘Falling Down’ and ‘Fannin Street’” and the album was produced by TV on the Radio’s David Sitek.

I know, I know, I was really excited about Zooey Deschanel’s foray into music so why rag on Johansson? I’m not really sure, maybe because she only has one original song on her debut album or maybe I’m just bitter. It could be that while Zooey has “indie cred” due to the roles she’s chosen in film, Scarlett is more of a Hollywood starlet. And as everyone knows, most albums made by the Hollywood elite are pretty awful. Need I remind anyone of Eddie Murphy and “Party All The Time” or Don Johnson’s duet with Barbra Streisand on “Til I Loved You?”
