180° South, with Issac Brock, James Mercer & more!
Thursday, April 22, 2010
First of all, Ugly Casanova's 2002 album Sharpen Your Teeth is one of my favorite albums of all time and now we're getting some more! The documentary "180 South: Conquerors of the Useless" will be released on DVD, June 8th. According to a press release, 180 South "retraces Yvon Chouinard's and Doug Tompkins' epic 1968 journey to Patagonia through the eyes of adventurer Jeff Johnson." The soundtrack features Issac Brock/Ugly Casanova, James Mercer of The Shins, Mason Jennings, and Love As Laughter, and will be released on June 22 on Brushfire Records. It looks like there are 9 Ugly Casanova songs, one of which is "Hotcha Girls" from Sharpen Your Teeth, the other 8 are all new! There are 2 songs from James Mercer including a cover of Neil Young's "Journey Through the Past", and then 1 from Mason Jennings, Love As Laughter, and Jack Johnson respectively. As far as I know, there is no word on whether it will be Ugly Casanova in true form, or if it will just be Brock. Here's to hoping John Orth and Tim Rutili make appearances! Emmet Malloy, director of White Stripes' Under Great White Northern Lights, produced the film and put together the soundtrack. Exciting stuff kids! Here is a trailer for the film and a track list below...
