8 Miles to a Rapper’s Delight on the Big Scr ..Recently I sat down and revisited a Curtis Hanson film that I love, but often gets overlooked, 8 Mile . Two things struck me about the film on this particular viewing, the first was how far Michael Shannon and Anthony Mackie have come since their roles in this film. Both actors, who were still relatively unknown at this point, have gone on to be prominently featured in indie films like Take Shelter and The Hurt Locker as well as mainstream films. The second thing that crossed my mind is the lack of films about hip hop. Despite the fact that 8 ...Big Thoughts From A Small Mind24 May 2012

I will show you Arcade Fire in a handful of ..Scratch any literate songwriter – Win Butler, David Bowie, PJ Harvey – and beneath the surface you will find a debt to TS Eliot The New Yorker critic Louis Menand, reflecting on TS Eliot's transition from radical modernist to arch-conservative, wrote in a review of the poet's letters: "He tried to shut the door on modern life. It was too late of course. He was the author of Prufrock and The Waste Land. He was already inside." Eliot would not have loved pop music but pop music loves Eliot. Ninety years after the publication of The Waste Land , he remains ...Guardian music23 May 2012

Haim - Live At The Shacklewell Arms, London ..Tonight The Shackwell Arms makes a rush hour tube journey look comfortable. As one of the Haim sisters turns around to face the drummer three people in the front row do a reverse Mexican wave, ducking one-by-one to avoid being hit by the neck of her guitar. These three Los Angeles girls became the talk of SXSW by fusing R&B; vocal harmonies with indie-folk melodies. At the last of two London showcases everyone’s eager to see how such a contradictory mix can work live. The girls look grungier than their R&B; production values would have you believe – baggy t-shirts ...Clash Music16 May 2012

News: It’s A ‘Buffoonion’: 2 Litre Dolby Ref ..The band formerly known as 2 Litre Dolby, or 2 Litre D* * , will play their first show in more than a decade this Friday (May 18). And it won’t be your usual nostalgia trip cash-grab, just a free "low-key informal jam" at the Grace Darling in Melbourne with a Guided By Voices cover band and related project Tender Bones in honour of drummer Craig “Skull MC”’s birthday. The band, which also includes guitarist Leif Svensson and bassist-singer Leo Mullins, began gigging in Sydney in 1996, releasing one full-length album (and what an album!) through Half A Cow Records ...Mess and Noise16 May 2012

Film Review: A Bag of Hammers (Dir. Brian Cr ..A Bag of Hammers Dir. Brian Crano [MPI Media Group; 2011] by gammareay Rating: In the first scene of director Brian Crano’s A Bag of Hammers , Alan (Jake Sandvig) begins to ask the question, “Who would win in a fight—” But before he’s even had the opportunity to name the opponents, Ben (Jason Ritter) immediately replies, “Ultimate Warrior.” Alan complains that Ben hasn’t heard the options yet so he can’t answer, but Ben stays firm: regardless of who is fighting, Ultimate Warrior would win. This game continues throughout the next few shots as the characters stand ...Tiny Mix Tapes12 May 2012

Grimes - Live At XOYO, LondonWell, someone’s been shopping at Cyberdog. Grimes appears on the stage in a haze of smoke, adorning a fluorescent green something or other (it hasn’t got sleeves whatever it is). Appearing behind her is a sweaty topless male and a wide-eyed female. No, this isn’t a band, they’re the backing dancers. Wasting no time, she and her small setup throw us into a whirling pool of psyche altering electronic sounds, sending the XOYO gig into a mid-‘90s rave in a matter of minutes, provoking a large number of partly head-shaved androgynous beings throwing their arms ...Clash Music11 May 2012

Doseone, "End&Egg;"Rapper, poet, and specialist in eccentricity Doseone has played this game of rap and challenging the stat quo of that word for over a decade. Looking back it hints of intent since the debut, Hemispheres, with a Rorschach test album art, heady-hazy beats courtesy of Five Deez and Lone Catalyst producers Fat Jon and J. Rawls, and a dissertation's length of words explaining his all encompasing station. The fast-rap afficionado is never short on words nor inspiration and while, the egg on "..;.Impose Magazine: Bytes10 May 2012

Purity Ring: Artist You Should KnowIn a little under two years and essentially on the strength of 2 tracks and a B-side, Halifax/Montreal-based duo Purity Ring (Corin Roddick and Megan James) have built up enough kinetic energy that they could potentially be the catalyst for the discovery of dark matter before the Hadron Collider. Steadily working on their debut album, Shrines, while perfecting their live show (which my Production Assistant Tahl caught at SXSW and claims was “one of the coolest things he’s EVER seen”) Roddick and James, both still shy of 25, have very smartly ...KCRW10 May 2012

Write On - Mark Stewart“I see ideas and ideals as kind of viral contagions which are transmitted/mutate through contact/our syntactic memory banks continually hyperlinking between this and the other. The working title of this project/my new album was ‘Fountains’, and I was riffing on that concept of memes and tropes of infectious idealism or idealism as infection. It’s been my amazing good fortune through life to hang out with some amazing people big and small. From taking high tea with Sun Ra to debating ‘the apocalypse’ with Allen Ginsberg, and for this hors d’oeuvres I have assembled a fascinating ...Clash Music9 May 2012

Marilyn Manson only wanted to confuse you ..Marilyn Manson has told the NME that he never wanted to be shocking . Which is good news all round, as he never was. But it might have looked to the casual observer as if he was trying to outrage the world with nipples on view and rubber clothes and eyeliner, just a good twenty years after that sort of thing had finally relinquished any power to surprise all but the staunchest Republican Presidential Candidate. So, if he wasn't trying to shock, what was all that tiresome jumping up and down for? "I've never tried to be shocking. The ...No Rock&Roll Fun6 May 2012

Clock Opera - Green Door Store, Brighton 29/ ..There's a certain vastness to Clock Opera 's anthemic big-pop, with its spacious build-up blips and whirling sentimental blops that seems daunting to translate live. Often the meticulous production of such a heavily layered aesthetic can swallow you whole in the comfort of the home, but lick limply at your face when played out live, with subdued beats, muted deliverance and restrained punch. Equally, Clock Opera's recent album, Ways to Forget , was of course subject to the same dooming swarm of hype that engulfs many fledgling artists, a pressure cultivated over recent years that sees expectations raised to ...The 4054 May 2012
