Secret Bonus Soundtrack Tunes
Mysteriously a few days ago in the Season 3 DVD/Blu-Ray/Soundtrack discussion a mysterious commenter only known as 'nobody to do with the soundtrack' (which may be the truth, but could also be lies) posted this message which included a link to a zip file containing two tracks not on the CD (apparently cut from the final version). I didn't want to post this on April Fool's day (even though I didn't think of a gag this year, sorry) so I'm posting it now. They're much lighter tracks than most of what's on the soundtrack, but still worth having. Enjoy!
Also for those of you still on the fence about buying the full soundtrack, Adult Swim.com has a couple samples up that may sway your opinion.

Oh Hey, Read This Interview
I missed it a couple days ago, but many thanks to Phil for noting this interview with Jackson on Destructo Deviations. It's a short interview, but full of nifty information and you can get some insight into the creative process of making the show. Enjoy!
Jackson Says: Buy A DVD
... or a Blu-Ray. Jackson updated with some tidbits about the upcoming season and how it's coming in two parts. He also included a nifty new background painting for immediate consumption (do not take painting orally). Also he notes that you really should buy the season three DVD and/or Blu-Ray because that would make him happy, and when he's happy, you're happy. Capisce?
Season Three DVD/Blu-Ray/Soundtrack Discussion!
Discussion threads make a comeback in '09 for one night only! Well, until season four starts at least. At any rate, if you've got something to say about the just-released season three DVD and/or Blu-Ray or the soundtrack CD/vinyl then here's the place to say it! My copies are still in the mail, though I expect my DVD to show up today. As is the norm I will also eventually be running a season three giveaway with the usual bevy of ridiculous questions. So stay tuned for that!
Also since I forgot to mention it, there's a new poll up for your voting pleasure. It's in the sidebar or you can just go directly to it if that's your thing.
Update (5:55pm EST): Hey, guess what just showed up!

Full Toyfare Interview Online
Hey, remember when I mentioned that ToyFare had an interview with Jackson and Doc? Well ToyFare just informed me that they put up the entire interview online for your reading pleasure. It also includes a bunch of early artwork from when the Venture boys were but a gleam in Mr. Publick's eye. I'm told this art is different from what's in the print magazine, so if you want to see even more original, old-school art and sketches you should still grab that issue of ToyFare.
Animation World Interview With Jackson and Doc
Cool interview with JP & Doc over at
Animation World Magazine. As always you're provided with
some insight into the series (season three's outcome and what
might happen in season four) as well as some interesting tidbits
about season four's format:
One big change for season four is that it's being split up into two sets of eight instead of one set of 13. "The first eight should be on the air this fall," Publick offered. "We're just finishing making those. We're going to write for a while and start our production again in the summer to hopefully get the back eight maybe by the following summer. So you get three more episodes and you get stuck waiting six months in between them, which is better than the year we usually had to wait."
So that's something I didn't know anyway. Enjoy!ToyFare to Feature Venture Content
From ToyFare's Blog it appears that issue
#141 will contain some Venture Bros. stuff:
Do you like the Venture Bros.? Of course you do! It’s the friggin’ best. We go in-depth with VB creator Jackson Publick on everything from the show’s origin to its future to what Venture toys should be like. Also, reprinted for the first time ever: Jackson’s first ever sketch of the Venture Bros., plus a bunch more awesome design sketches!
Also since it's ToyFare maybe you can hold out some kind of hope for actin figures or figurines, though I wouldn't get them too high. The issue goes on sale tomorrow, March 11th.Soundtrack For Sale!
Reader and commenter The Mysterious 'H' was awesome enough to point out that you can now buy the soundtrack from Adult Swim/Williams Street. $12 for the CD version or $18 for vinyl (which has 16 tracks instead of the CD's 20). You can also buy a variety of other Venture Bros. stuff such as the upcoming season 3 DVD/Blu-Ray and some shirts and stuff.
Soundtrack Tracks... Track
Bundled with the upcoming Season 3 Blu-Ray release (and presumably sold separately) will be a much-lauded soundtrack, as you may know. A track list has finally surfaced (or maybe it surfaced a while ago, but it's the first I'm hearing of it) so you can lament that you don't yet own the damned thing and also maybe guess which tracks are which:
- Brock Graveside
- Tuff
- Tensssacts
- 13 BigMon / Boys as Transformers
- Node Wrestling
- Thunder-Bro
- Damion
- Assclamp!
- Mississippi Noir
- VB1 Spag
- Bolly
- Gawker
- Descension
- Warped Carousel
- Sexy Sultry
- In a spaceage Mood
- X1 Krashi / woozzy
- Warped Span
- Fumblestealth
- VB Theme
Comic Con Coverage
IGN has a quick article covering the Venture Bros panel. As expected most of the news is about the upcoming DVD/Blu-Ray release since there isn't a huge amount of info on season four just yet. They are hopeful that episodes will begin sometime later this year, however, so things seem to be on track.
