Let’s get the nostalgia out of the way first. For the first time in 15 years, a new Soundgarden track is about to be unleashed on your ears. Download it, and it will be the first time ever that you’ve ever downloaded a new Soundgarden track – ever! Think about that! But maybe you’re not old like me and remember when Soundgarden was a thing. Nonetheless, click play on the track below and fill your musical mind with 90s grunge rock inspired goodness.
Not bad. Definitely not terrible anyway. Your typical soundtrack song anyway. Here’s what the band had to say (courtesy of Comic Book Movie) about the song:
“We’ve been hard at work on our new album, which will come out this fall. When the opportunity arose to write an original song for ‘Marvel’s The Avengers’ film came our way, we thought it could be a cool match. We are excited to release our new song ‘Live To Rise’, which is also the only new song in the film.”
In other news, Marvel Studios and Wyndham Hotels are having a team-up of their own of the promotional variety, and accompanying it are 10 new character posters. Details about the contest, and, more importantly, see the posters, AFTER THE JUMP:
Via Geek Tyrant, here’s what you can win and how in the Wyndham Hotels sweepstakes, and keep scrolling to see all the posters:
According to a recent survey commissioned by Wyndham Rewards®, the world’s largest hotel loyalty program with the most participating hotels, forty four percent (44%) of Americans wish they could fly and forty percent (40%) would like to be Captain America.
Conducted to coincide with Wyndham Rewards’ sponsorship of the highly anticipated “Marvel’s The Avengers” film, the lighthearted survey also uncovered that forty percent (40%) of Americans favored Captain America as a seat companion on a long-haul flight, followed by Iron Man with twenty four percent (24%). While fifty three percent (53%) believed that their favorite Super Hero would vacation at a beach resort given the opportunity, twenty six percent (26%) also thought Tahiti would be an exceptional exotic getaway.
