Competition and the Early Works of Directors PT Anderson and Quentin Tarantino

by Greg W. Locke February 11, 2013

Two of the best prime-era American filmmakers, Paul Thomas Anderson and Quentin Tarantino, are best friends. Supposedly. One of these men is typically referred to as QT by cinephiles, the other is called PT. PT Has made six films, QT has made eight. Both men write, direct and produce signature works and only signature works. [...]

Halftime Show :: Our Beyoncé Picks

by Greg W. Locke February 3, 2013

Me, I like Adrian Younge and D’Angelo and even Frank Ocean. That said, along with maybe R. Kelly, Beyoncé has become the hands-down R&B singer of her time. I personally think she’s about 10 solo hits away from legendary solo status in the genre, despite the mega celebrity status allowed by her looks and marriage and [...]

Anticipating Unknown Mortal Orchestra’s New Record

by J. Hubner January 18, 2013

Unknown Mortal Orchestra have released a second song off their forthcoming sophomore release, titled II and due out next month. I’m even more excited about this album now that I’ve heard this quite soulful and groove-filled second track. Right off the bat it sounds like an instant classic. Something you’d come across playing on some [...]

New Video :: “New York City”

by Greg W. Locke January 15, 2013

I had a small, cheap camera with HD video capability when I rolled into Manhattan for the first time. Not to sound like Carrie Bradshaw or anything, but the city was more beautiful and interesting and cinematic than I could’ve ever imagined. And so I started carrying that cheap little camera with me whenever I [...]

New Video: “(A Film Called) Jaz”

by Greg W. Locke January 7, 2013

Part of the reason I moved to New York City was to work on film productions. Both my own and, hopefully, proper indie- studio-produced projects. In the seventh-plus months I’ve been here, I’ve worked on a handful of projects, including network shows like “Blue Bloods” and “Dish Nation,” as well as a very-good Amy Poehler-produced [...]

Watch This: Bill Murray Documentary

by Greg W. Locke January 4, 2013

Okay, so the production of this TV doc is very much a stiff 90s sort of thing. But Bill … oh Bill. The story is great and Bill is funny. Lots of great details here, including accounts of the Chevy / Bill punchup.

Coming Soon :: End of the Year Mania!

by Greg W. Locke December 14, 2012

See that cheesy graphic up there? The one we made because we were told that young people really like cheesy, tasteless stuff (and Anne Hathaway) these days? You know what that means, right? End of the year coverage! Lists! Rants! Picks! Tears! Fun! Memories! End of the year coverage is maybe our favorite thing about [...]

Howard Stern Interviews Quentin Tarantino

by Greg W. Locke December 10, 2012

Every once and a while Howard Stern conducts a whopper of an interview. He has that ability. Say what you will about the guy – he’s a great, great interviewer, talker and conversationalist. And, in this case, so is his subject, auteur Quentin Tarantino. Howard and QT discuss the director’s new film, Django Unchained, QT’s [...]

Song of the Week :: Godspeed You! Black Emperor’s “Their Helicopters’ Sing”

by Greg W. Locke December 5, 2012

Godspeed’s comeback record, ‘Allelujah! Don’t Bend! Ascend! (read our REVIEW), is a doozy. As any fan would like expect, the album is long and takes while – as in weeks – to really digest. Anchored by two 20-minute tracks, the disc also includes two six-ish minute ambient songs. And while it’s probably easy to overlook [...]

Video of the Week :: Joey Bada$$’ “Hardknock”

by Greg W. Locke December 3, 2012

Odd Future who? Brooklyn’s own Joey Bada$$ is, for our money, the best new, young emcee in ages. Maybe even the best young hip-hop prodigy we can think of since Nas come out 20 or so years ago. This track, “Hardknock,” is just one of many great moments from Joey’s latest mixtape, titled 1999. One [...]
