FILM SCHOOL began life as a group of like-minded San Francisco musicians writing and producing music by themselves for themselves. The result was something very special indeed. Undoubtedly they rock - hungry unrestrained guitars and loud driven drumbeats - but it is a sound as broodi... Read More

5 Things You Might Not Know About 'The Empir ..After thirty years, three terrible prequels and acres of spin-off material, the "Star Wars" brand has been somewhat tarnished. The fans are still legion, but it's become harder and harder to get excited about the series, and the highlights drift further and further from memory. That being said, we'll always a place for the original trilogy in our hearts, and much of that comes down to the second (or fifth) installment, 1980's "The Empire Strikes Back" Despite the success of the original, creator George Lucas seemed to have taken some of the criticism to heart, a took ...:: The Playlist ::22 May 2012

Mujeres - Soft GemsSoft Gems, Mujeres Wea, Spain Rating: 64 by Souad Martin-Saoudi As certified by their Facebook page , Mujeres was formed in 2007 when four friends who met in film school began composing tunes for their movies.

With Yago Alcover and Martí Gallén on guitar and vocals, Martín Gutierrez on drums and howling, and Pol Rodellar on bass, this Barcelona-based garage rock act had humble beginnings, basically learning to play their instruments while practicing. But with over 500 shows under their belt, including the inevitable pilgrimages to SXSW ...Club Fonograma16 May 2012

The Essentials: The Films Of John MiliusAll those who complain about the liberal domination of Hollywood have never come across John Milius. A film school pal of George Lucas and Steven Spielberg, Milius had tried to join the Marine Corp, but was turned away due to his asthma. Instead, he channeled his frustrations into both a life-long obsession with firearms (he was paid for "Jeremiah Johnson" in antique weaponry, and has served on the NRA Board of Directors) and making some of the most masculine, testosterone-filled movies of all time, both as an acclaimed writer and as a director. The basis for both Paul Le Mat ...:: The Playlist ::13 April 2012

M. Ward On His Favourite Film, 'Being There' ..For those of you who haven’t seen it yet, Being There is a 1972 American movie about a guy (played by Peter Sellers) who has no earthly lineage, seems to come from nowhere, speaks in parables, and achieves miracles illuminating the lives of his believers and infuriating his non-believers. The non-believers scramble around researching his origin - trying in desperation but ultimately failing to prove he is a fake. Meanwhile, he is bringing true enlightenment to his believers about life and the after-life. By the end of the movie it is inferred that he and his political disciples change the ...Clash Music12 April 2012

Teaser Poster For Paul Schrader's 'The Canyo ..Well, it's still looking for a cast and not yet in front of cameras, but it looks like the team behind Paul Schrader's upcoming indie sexual thriller "The Canyons" is looking to get the buzz going a bit early. Film School Rejects have unveiled an early teaser poster for the upcoming film, which boasts a script from "American Psycho" scribe Bret Easton Ellis, and as the tagline promises, this is going to be a seamy look at the lives of some young folks trying to make it in L.A.

Diplo Is Ready For His Close-Up...Wes just keeps it moving, huh? See his pimp game up close in Rolling Stone : Diplo is at a studio in Burbank, California, searching for inspiration, raising a two-word prayer to the heavens. “Justin Bieber, Justin Bieber,” the 33-year-old DJ and producer chants, rubbing his neck thoughtfully. In 24 hours, he’s set to begin a four-day studio session with the Canadian teen-pop phenomenon, bouncing song ideas off him and working with him on new music. Diplo searches his laptop for sounds he can flip into the building blocks of a hit: distorted snares, booming kicks, electronic burps and bzzaps ...The Daily Swarm23 March 2012

Sansa - New WavesOn Tuesday whilst featuring Lana Del Rey’s new swimming pool location video for Blue Jeans we compiled our five greatest other swimming pool moments in pop . Positioned at the summit of the list, without a hint of irony, was the video for Boys Boys Boys by Sabrina (or to give the song its correct title Boys (Summertime Love) . Whatever you think of the song, you have to admit that the video is noteworthy. 30 million views on You Tube speak for itself. However we now have to shamefacedly admit there was an ulterior motive in posting the Sabrina video ...Breaking More Waves22 March 2012

Rock And Rules - Ray ManzarekAs one-quarter of The Doors, keyboardist Ray Manzarek has experienced success and excess. From a life in rock and roll comes these valued guidelines. TRUST YOUR INTUITION When forming a band, you have to have an instinct that speaks to you and makes you think, ‘Hey, this guy’s good! These are good lyrics!’ If you read poetry and if you were a musician, you could tell that Jim Morrison’s lyrics would lend themselves beautifully to rock and roll songs. We both came from the same place musically and lyrically instinctively. At that particular point in time, we had ...Clash Music15 March 2012

Boy Party toured the midwest in the summer of 2011 before parting ways, Nathan staying in North Carolina, going to film school, and Zach going to film school in New York.

WZRD - WZRD (Album Review & Full Stream)Review by Naveed Ahmad ( @NaveedMBS ) As 2007 came to a close, a curious-sounding song emerged on the Internet... Sean Fennessey of SPIN Magazine would describe it as “…an alien outlier.” “It’s all bloops, astral synths, and a remarkable half-sung melody…like some evolutionary strand of new-age rap…,” he would add. The song had been the product of a two-man, two-day binge in a Brooklyn apartment, creating the instrumental, recording the lyrics, and arranging the final cut. On one hand you had Oladipo Omishore, the producer, a college student, and a child of Nigerian immigrants. On the other hand you ...Vibe To This9 March 2012

Video Premiere: BBU's 'The Hood'"If I can't dance, I don't want to be part of your revolution." That oft-quoted line attributed to Emma Goldman (though she never said exactly that) seems apt for conflicted Chicago rap crew BBU. The foursome of DJ Esquire, Jasson Perez, Richard "Epic" Wallace, and Michael "Illekt" Milam, who first made a name for themselves with 2009's "Chi Don't Dance," seem intent to merge the raw energy of the last decade's mainstream and underground party rap, with thoughtful, politically engaged lyrics and well, not come off like a bunch of sanctimonious jerks. bell hooks , their ...Spin9 March 2012
