i was incredibly hesitant about spring breakers because i thought it would tap out at the joke level and not have anything more to offer. the film undoubtedly had some bizarre moments where...

this was definitely a big part of it, but i didn't expect the race stuff that completely took over the narrative... not that it surprised me.



i don't really agree here. i actually think it...

i would be shocked if spring breakers was "existential." that would be radically at odds with everything else he has ever done (films, art, music, writing, all of it).

do the reviews of spring breakers talk about the male gaze? do they talk about haneke on lsd?

my decent into aktionist music recently leaves me with little to recommend here... but this one slipped through and somehow isn't sold out yet (despite it getting rave reviews from everyone who has...

i dig the opener on the Rhye album a lot... there are ups and downs for there, but nothing that grabs me quite like that first track.

no one does it like The Drones man. their albums are always...

i come in somewhere in the middle on hurt locker... there is a bit of combat as adrenaline-junky glorification there that bugs me, but for the most part lacks the hero worship of most military...

it is probable that i'm much too sensitive to many of the events and issues (including the unmentioned ones) that the movie touches on. regardless, i thought the movie was poorly made (the editing in...

there might be potential here if the film had been in the hands of a completely different director (someone with some hanekeian sensibilities maybe... ha)... but zero dark thirty was essentially an...

curiously, that happens to be the least attractive picture of her I could find...

beyond that, how do you think her appearance changes the core themes? what role do you think that aspect of...

That's precisely what is so compelling about this film. Far too many people in our culture are astonishingly hesitant to question (even unapparent) authority. These circumstances seem absurd from the...

the original presque rien is a composition constructed entirely of elements from a day long field recording ferrari did. throughout his career he continued to develop the concept and material,...

The Belly of an Architect.

Compliance was wonderful.

Prometheus was fantastic if you took most of the characters out.

Can't wait for Upstream Color.

Do you honestly feel this way?

fuck you guys. that new cover is fantastic.

ultimately, i'm not comfortable installing adware on my machine, but my limited knowledge says that what they are offering there is essentially VPN, so you would probably be safe. i would recommend...

the schaefer is unreal as well. god i love this series so much. I think the goal is to keep them in press if the demand is there... at least, Rehberg hinted as such to me.

just keeping my fingers...

Congratulations. You own one of the best records ever. The new pressing is insanely gorgeous.

If you dig it and want to hit it from another angle... check out the eRikm take on it called...

this needs to play out a bit before people start freaking out. chances are, anyone who has been mildly intelligent about the way they conduct themselves online won't have anything to fear. there has...

it is not an act. it is an industry cartel.

and VPN.

damn. that was fast. looks to be sold out from all of Anomia's US distributors. you might poke around and see if any int'l ones have it. it's worth it. you'll love it.

also, email chris at...

the reissued version of the MARS 3xcassette box set finally hit stateside. you should absolutely grab one, seeing as it is one of the coolest things that was released last year. no chance this will...

I disagree wholeheartedly here. Total Loss felt like treading water for me. The increased production value really didn't qualify as a step forward in my book... because in many ways the songwriting...

Draft 7.30, Gantz Graf, Untilted

wow... definitely haven't been this into an autechre on first listen since untilted.

FWIW, Sacred Bones does deluxe editions really, really proper. The Eraserhead deluxe was insanely cool.

AKA anyone want to buy a dollar bin record for $30?

instead. i would recommend Code Unknown and 71 Fragments... because if you are going to embrace Haneke, you need to give up on the idea that the characters in his film need to operate as characters....

i think it is a fair complaint, as it definitely wasn't entirely consistent or thoroughly explained... but not a total film breaker.

i'll write something about zero dark thirty, but I'm still...

SPOILERS

I think this is pretty easily explained... a kind of dull lag was already introduced as the primary symptom of the evolving timelines... this plus the fact that Levitt's newly minted...

i loved his guitar playing on the earlier releases... but on their last two records it has gotten way too noodley for me. i started getting tired of it really, really quickly. bring on the new tunes...

i imagine they just came to the realization that him being across the country just wasn't working out... excited for the tour.

mark mcguire is no longer in Emeralds. not going to lie... but i think this is probably a good thing re their music.

if anyone is seriously interested in digging deep into gamelan... i could put together a primer from what I know. there are some incredibly dull compilations out there (surprisingly, most of the...

6. NHK -...

yeah, i've listened to it probably two dozen times now. i tend to pay attention to everything that editions rz puts out these days. very feldmany, but more elaborate in most places.

as for the jam...

nah. fella does it every year. so much damn techno though... really struggling to catch up on all that shit. especially when all I want to do is listen to the Jam City and Madteo records.

Nice. No love for the Jakob Ullmann? Fucking love that record.

yeah. they have some insane releases. when they really try though, the editions are absolutely stunning (both of the black mountain transmitter releases come to mind).

hard to pass up as silly as it is on first glance.

oh and:

La Monte Young + Theatre Of Eternal Music - Raag Bhairava lp...

Jacaszek never plays... i probably would have made the same choice. Drumm does destroy live though, and he's played a lot less frequently in recent years.

that's great. i've listened to both Relief and Crowded at the wrong speeds. Dying Air was also a great one from this year... i should dig out those cassettes again.

the main reason I dig Crowded...
