Pop. 1280 put out a new music video directed by Jacqueline Castel, and all the lyrical references come together like a disturbing and horrifying puzzle. Yes, my review of the band’s latest album, the Horror, acknowledged the music’s dark, gritty edge; however, I never would have figured that this track was somehow in reference to [...]

New York cyberpunks Pop. 1280 recently premiered their new video for "Bodies In The Dunes," their latest single. The video was directed by Jacqueline Castel, a hyper-talented director who makes tense, kinetic work under her Future Primitive production house. Castel's videos are stark and confrontational-she's created incredible work for Zola Jesus, Naked On The Vague, Blank Dogs, and a bunch of other pretty bleak and downbeat acts. The video is not for the faint of heart-it was based loosely on a Long Island serial killer who was responsible for murdering four prostitutes in cold blood and dumping their ...

The New York band Pop. 1280 make a grimy, scuzzy, entirely sinister variety of art-punk. So it only makes sense that director Jacqueline Castel would turn the video for their song “Bodies In The Dunes” into a ’70s-style mini-horror movie about a serial killer who buries his victims on a deserted beach. The video isn’t [...]

The Observers Dir. Jacqueline Goss [Anthology Film Archives; 2012] by Alex Peterson Rating: The first line on the bio page of filmmaker Jacqueline Goss’ personal website reads, “I like stories about people who set out to objectively measure or chart something and then fail in interesting ways when they get tangled up in the natural color and noise of the world.” Yes, she does. The quote is a mouthful, but it sums up what The Observers , Goss’ almost feature length narrative, is attempting to capture. Such a simple goal coupled with such attention to detail and such impressive eyes and ...

Why wasn't Jacqueline Laurita at "The Real Housewives of New Jersey" reunion in September? If you care about...

Sydney is a city that never sleeps and with so many places to hit up sometimes the selection process becomes frustrating and difficult. I know... first world problems. The inner west has always been a pretty groovy part of Sydney, offering people everything from grungy live music pubs, to quaint, probably organic cafes. The Toxteth Hotel on Glebe Point Road may not strike you at first as a funky, fixies welcome venue but the newly renovated space upstairs ( The Tate ) certainly is. On Wednesday night I checked out the ‘Girls, Girls, Girls’ exhibition showcasing Sydney’s up and coming female ...

Although a wondrously elaborate venue when tarted up in sheets of shiny white, tonight's Barbican Centre stage is quite literally stripped back, it's tubular, almost organismic ligneous panelling exposed. However this succinctly befits an eve upon which John Darnielle is to do away with the appellation and unveil his latest work, Transcendental Youth . It is to represent the grand backdrop; the focal point upon which all attentions converge and it is relayed in a perfectly gripping fashion with the aid of one of his "favourite musical ensembles", the enigmatically entitled Anonymous 4 . 4 become 3 for the majority ...

In case the abundance of television news lately wasn't enough of a hint, it's pilot season which can see some interesting projects attempt to break onto the scene. One television project already fronting cameras that we're highly anticipating for next year is Jane Campion's six-part mini-series "Top Of The Lake." Led by "Mad Men" star Elisabeth Moss, the Gerard Lee co-scripted tale follows the story of detective Robin Griffin as she loses herself investigating the disappearance of the 12-year-old pregnant daughter of a local drug lord in remote, mountainous New Zealand. The cast also features David ...

“Do you want Van Halen pics?” is the kind of question metal bloggers only dream of being asked, so when MS photographer Jacqueline Cheng posed the same to us following Van Halen performance at Madison Square Garden on February 28th, we were only too happy to say “yes.” Axl and Vince attended Night 2 of [...]

Somehow I found myself reading poems with some of my avant garde heroes. But was the Sonic Youth man really praising my back catalogue onstage? Does growing older reduce your relevance as an artist? And would I ever get my tax return done? I'm being audited by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), every self-employed person's nightmare! So, scrambling to sort out hundreds of weeks' worth of crumpled receipts in time for my in-person government interrogation in a few days, I didn't give much time to my visiting French pal, Julien Langendorff, when he telephoned and invited me ...
