Trailer: Gerhard Richter Painting

by Greg W. Locke February 22, 2012

A brilliant new trailer for a documentary about one of Ze Cat’s favorite modern artists (up there with Anselm Keifer, whom we’d LOVE to see as the topic of a feature film), Germany’s most diverse painter, Gerhard Richter – aka the guy who painted the candle most of us know from Sonic Youth’s Daydream Nation.

Song(s) of the Week: Damien Jurado’s “Nothing Is the News” and “Museum of Flight”

by Greg W. Locke February 15, 2012

I’ve never been a huge fan of Damien Jurado. Mostly, I like songs here and there. And I usually like them a whole lot. His last album, the one he cut with Richard Swift, however, I loved. And the two new songs from his upcoming record, Maraqopa (which he again recorded with Swift), are just [...]

Song of the Week: Perfume Genius’ “All Waters”

by Greg W. Locke February 7, 2012

The powerfully written lead single from Perfume Genius’ sophomore album is good as any Rise Above / Revolution / Equal Rights song we’ve heard since The Clash went disco. Breathtaking stuff. Can’t wait for everyone to hear this brave, powerful, uber personal record. Very unique stuff. My pick for Breakthrough Artist of 2012. LYRICS when [...]

Report Card: The Tree of Life

by Greg W. Locke December 22, 2011

Some movies, well, you just have a feeling about. That movie in 2011, for me at least, was Terrence Malick’s The Tree of Life, starring Brad Pitt, Jessica Chastain and newcomer Hunter McCracken and filmed by the legendary Emmanuel Lubezki. When the trailer was first released I watched it in HD fullscreen on repeat, pausing [...]
