They are finally there. Announced last decade, the brand new Broken Note and Teknoist t-shirts are there, printed and in stock. They are the first Ad Noiseam shirts to be printed entirely on . As explained in an earlier post, we've finally decided to jump the gun and stop producing shirts whose production we could not agree with. No child-labor and ecological devastation overe here.

The Broken Note shirts show the band's logo and come in two colors. The Teknoist's ones recommend you a way of dealing with zombies, commemorating the "...Like A Hurricane Made Of Zombies" album, with prints on the front and the back. See below for some pictures of both shirts.

Moreover, note that some older shirts have been reprinted, all on the same fair-trade / organic fabric: the Ad Noiseam hoodies are back, ready to keep you warm this winter, as well as the "The Devil Lies Below 100Hz", "Enjoy Noise" and Ad Noiseam logo t-shirts.

There had already been two video trailers for Raoul Sinier's latest album, the "Tremens Industry" CD / DVD (Ad Noiseam adn115), and you had already been able to watch online one of the videos from the DVD. Guess what, a second one has now been uploaded for everybody to see. A tale of robots, spaceships and mice, "The Savior (alternative rush)" should give you another insight at Raoul Sinier's video art in general, and "Tremens Industry" in particular. Remember, this DVD is packed with videos of this kind.

You can watch this video here on Vimeo, or just scroll down. Oh, and remember that Raoul Sinier's also releasing a graphic novel these days.

The new issue of France's long-running D-Side magazine features not only very positive reviews of the latest albums by Wilt, Detritus, Raoul Sinier, DJ Hidden and Broken Note, but also three pages of interviews with Wilt (about the tenth anniversary of this project and its celebration with the "Cemetary Road / Dead Electroniks" double CD) and Detritus (focusing on the progresses made with the new "Things Gone Wrong" album), alongside other articles about the likes of Massive Attack, Rob Zombie or Douglas Coupland.

Even more, the CD coming with this magazine features tracks by both Detritus and Wilt, taken from their respective recent albums. And finally, since Ad Noiseam and D-Side are of the generous kind, new subscribers to D-Side can choose to receive a copy of Detritus's "Things Gone Wrong" for free with their new issue. Now, what's your excuse again for not learning French and reading this magazine?

Still in French, the first issue of the free pdf magazine Essmaa features, among many others, a new interview with Raoul Sinier and a lengthy review of the man's earlier "Huge Samurai Radish" CD. This first issue can be downloaded for free here .

2010 starts with a bang and pretty early, as Ad Noiseam's first release of the year has landed: DJ Hidden's "The Words Below Limited Editions Vinyl Series vol.3" (adn124) is out now and available.

This 12" record is the third volume of the vinyl pendants to "The Words Below", DJ Hidden's second full length album, released last October on Ad Noiseam. While the first two volumes (adn114 and adn119) featured re-worked, DJ-friendly versions of tracks from the CD, the material on this third one is exclusive to the record. On the A side, Eye-D (a.k.a. DJ Hidden's partner in crime in The Outside Agency) offers a crazy, rich and intense remix of "The Narrators" and, on the B side, DJ Hidden's re-wrote his own "Devil's Instant", turning it into an even more percussive, drier monster of a track.

You can find more infomation and audio snippets about this third volume here, purchase it here on vinyl or there in its digital version.

  The french publisher Editions Fée will release next week Raoul Sinier's first graphic novel, a full length book he co-authored and illustrated together with Sylvie Frétet. The story of two friens hired to test a new video game system which slowly reveals itself as an unsettling and bizarre psychiatric tool, "Les Aveugles" will be officially released on January 14th. You will be able to order it directly through Editions Fée starting Jan 14th, and later on through the Ad Noiseam online store.

To celebrate the publication of this book, Raoul Sinier and Sylvie Frétet are also inviting everybody to a dedicated evening in Paris on Thursday (Jan 14th) at Café de Paris (158 rue Oberkampf) on 8PM, during which both authors will sign the book, several short films and animations by Raoul Sinier will be shown (hint: you might also want to check Raoul Sinier's "Tremens Industry" CD and DVD to be able to see these films in the comfort of your home), and DJ dDash will take cake of feeding your curious and open ears. 

Check the evening's trailer and some pages from "Les Aveugles" below. If you're in Paris, make sure not to miss this party and, if you're not, don't forget to get your copies of this graphic novel, as Raoul Sinier's long-awaited jump into the world of cartoons is something which should definitely be taken seriously.

Following their very positive review of his latest album "Tremens Industry", the french webzine Goûte Mes 'Disques have invited this musician to get behind the mixing deck and present the sound and artist he currently listens to. From the breaks of Igorrr and Tim Exile to the raps of Bluebird or Mobb Deep, the result is a spicy dish that you can listen and download for free here. Note that it also contains some new material from Raoul Sinier himself, so make sure to listen carefully, and enjoy this mix's eclectism.
