R.I.P. Roger Ebert (1942-2013)

by Greg W. Locke April 5, 2013

Yesterday, while I was out working on a film in New York City, Roger Ebert passed away. It took me quite a while to really like Roger. I read his reviews and watched his shows all through high school and beyond but didn’t always like what he had to say. For several years I even [...]

R.I.P. Jason Molina

by Greg W. Locke March 18, 2013

Magnolia Electric Co. and Songs: Ohia frontman Jason Molina died in Indianapolis this past Saturday. I’ve been a fan of Jason’s for 10 years now and consider a handful of his songs to be some of my all-time favorites. His writing was as raw and real as we’ve heard and his vocals as tremendous and [...]

by Greg W. Locke February 25, 2013

Okay, so she also won an actual Oscar for her work as the lead actress in David O. Russell’s excellent Silver Linings Playbook. But, for us, between the above photo and the below video, she won the night. I’m starting to get the feeling that she’s too good to be true – too many hilarious [...]

Coming Soon :: The Master on Blu-Ray / DVD!

by Greg W. Locke February 1, 2013

Yeah, sure, the February 26 release day of this excellent new PT Anderson film is sort of old news. Sort of. The badass cover art (which is the reason we posted this) is new. And it’s every bit as awesome as the movie was. (Note: The Master was our pick for the best film we [...]

Thee Oh Sees Announce New Studio LP

by Greg W. Locke January 28, 2013

Thee Oh Sees’ most recent record, Putrifiers II, was one of our favorite platters of 2012. The two albums the band released the year before that – Castlemania and Carrion Crawler/The Dream – weren’t too shabby either. Mostly, we loved Putrifiers II very, very much, and so the news of a new studio album, titled [...]

Another New Guided by Voices Album is on the Way!

by Greg W. Locke January 28, 2013

Yep, that’s right. Just when you thought it was finally over for a second (and final?) time, Guided by Voices have decided to keep things going a bit longer. Frontman Robert Pollard recently announced that the band, who released three fantastic – if little heard – studio records in 2012, are still a thing. Not [...]

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 [...]

R.I.P. Jazz Pioneer Dave Brubeck (1920-2012)

by J. Hubner December 7, 2012

Dave Brubeck was the kind of jazz musician/composer who never seemed to get caught up in the stereotype of the jazz musician. He appeared to be a pretty well-grounded guy. He didn’t get hooked on smack; he wasn’t an alcoholic; he was married to the same woman, Lola, since 1942. Together Dave and Lola raised sons that became musicians [...]
