Tim and Eric

Zoning out

Finally, a self-help book we can all get behind – Tim & Eric’s Zone Theory, in which the gonzo comedy pair offer up “seven easy steps to achieve a perfect life” and/or indoctrinate the reader into a bizarre cult.

A Philadelphia brewery is making a Wu-Tang inspired beer: Ain’t Nothing To Funk With is being fermented using vibrations from the group’s albums and boasts an very unWu-like “spicy pineapple and orange-tart” flavour.

Caped fear

Further evidence that video game music is more exciting than actual music right now: Trent Reznor is the music consultant for the forthcoming Batman: Arkham Knight.
