Tim Kasher of Cursive and The Good Life has posted the first song from his upcoming solo album. The record is titled The Game of Monogamy and is due out October 5, 2010 via Saddle Creek. The album was recorded this past January in Whitefish, MT, at SnowGhost Music and in his rental home in the small town. Kasher enlisted Patrick Newbery (trumpet/keys for Cursive; also of Lacona and Head of Femur) to help with the arrangements, the production, and to play on the record. Friends Erin Tate (Minus The Bear) and Matt Maginn (Cursive) also stopped by to add some drum and bass parts, respectively, and members of the Glacier National Symphony were recruited for the classical instrument parts.

While waiting for DLC news to be announced on Game Trailers TV at 12:30am (PST) this Friday on Spike TV, we thought we would see what the community has been working on. Checking YouTube we found a bunch of cool movies. Here are just a few. Yes, we know some of these may make it a bit cOld in here, but just in case you missed them.
One word of warning, some of these movies use naughty words, have violence in them and well… other things. You have been warned.
First up is a Left 4 Dead Short Film directed by Connor McGuire and Colin McGuire.
NSBentertainment gives us some Witch action with part 1 of their short film. Part 2 is available from here.
There is this very teasing trailer from Daniele Bellucci and Marco Tudini for a Left 4 Dead movie.
Left 4 Dead First Infection is by Jesse Gouldsbury and Matt Gelfman. When you have a Zoey look alike, you have to run with it.
Not to be bothered with human actors, Chris O’Neill animates an amazing set of Left 4 Dead 1/2 movies.
These are just a small selection of all the movies available. Check YouTube or our Facebook page for more. If you create a movie, make sure to post about it on our Facebook page. With all this talent out there, I think we are in need of a contest. Movies, Midnight Riders, YouTube? Hmmmm. Stay tuned.
