[12/15/05] - UPDATES: [ DVD | New Album | Underworld ]
Word on the street is that toolarmy members could order the DVD sometime last week and that they're starting to land in mailboxes. If the forums were up, I'm sure we could quickly confirm this, but I'm only hearing whispers here and there. The Collective tends to be good at keeping secrets.
Blair posted some previews of the menu backgrounds on toolband.com. If that sort of thing excites you, go check it out.§
I also got an email from a reader saying that ThePRP.com posted something about the new Tool album being in mix-down.§
The Underworld: Evolution soundtrack listing has been announced. It opens with "The Undertaker (Renholder Mix)" by Puscifer, which seems to be Maynard's musical alter-ego. He updated his website, also.
[12/20/05] - DVDs Released Today
Unless you've been living under a rock for the last few weeks, you know that today is the long-awaited release for the Schism and Parabola DVDs. Run to your nearest store (as long as it's not Wal-Mart) and score your copy!
The big news about this release is the sticker on the wrapper promising a new Tool album in "Spring 2006". Anyone around five years ago probably remembers a similar sticker on Salival, which predated Lateralus by a mere five months. Keep your fingers crossed.

We'll have hi-res scans and/or photos online late tonight, for those of you who can't quite get your hands on a copy.
