UK lovers dubstep unit King Midas Sound have forged a beautiful mix for the FACT webzine. I'm listening to it now: It's a mellow glide through some dub/soul/shoegazer/isolationist/glitch gold, with the surprise inclusion of one of my favorite songs ever, Scritti Politti's "The 'Sweetest Girl.'" Check the mix here . Tracklist : King Midas Sound - Sometimes (Waiting For You/Hyperdub) Lovejoys...

Even though this film has had quite some Twitch coverage already, many people still seem reluctant to watch it. Which is a damn shame, as Pop Skull is the first American film in 5 years that gets a full score from me. So here's some more raving and praising. Wingard is pretty new to the scene, but with Pop Skull he makes sure people will have a hard time forgetting his name. Not that his film will...

Tarik Saleh's 'Metropia' by Amy Crocker This year’s San Francisco International Animation Festival , running through Sunday, explores the decidedly un-Hollywood side of the art form. From demonstrating Los Angeles traffic scenarios, to an anime documentary about samurai, cartoons are not just for singing princesses. "I’m interested in showing the margins of what animation is,”...

London's Telegraph was apparently so impressed by the fifteen-minute preview of James Cameron's latest opus that they saw on Avatar day that they deemed it worthy of a place in their top 100 films of the decade. We can only assume that if they would've seen 20 minutes of it, it would've moved the film past Crash and Together and into the 97th spot. Also, Brown Bunny ? We love us some Vincent Gallo,...

Laure Briard chante (Demo CDr) Laure Briard ' s voice has that little something that makes it instantly endearing, a bit mischievious like Hélène , a bit elvish like Pascale and a bit naïve like Sylvie .

"Has the hipster killed cool in New York? Did it die the day Wes Anderson proved too precious for his own good, or was it when Chloë Sevigny fellated Vincent Gallo onscreen? Did it vanish along with Kokie’s, International Bar and Tonic? Or when McSweeney’s moved shop to San Francisco and Bright Eyes signed a lease on the Lower East Side? Was it possible to be a hipster once a...

This is pretty much what takes place every night @ my crib before I go to sleep. Except instead of Kid Cudi it’s normally a Vincent Gallo song. And instead of a megaphone it’s one side of a pair of headphones. And my wife and son are asleep in the room next door. And there [...]

Metropia disappoints. Even known there is a lot to admire in it, this animated feature film doesn't manage to escape from a predictable script any sci-fi fans have seen before a hundred titme. Is it still worth a watch ? Absolutely, because the animation is absolutely fantastic and have to be seen on the big screen in order to be truly appreciated. Too bad the story doesn't live up to it. The first...

To sceptics, there's a mismatch between the attention Vincent Gallo has attracted over the years and his actual achievements. He has directed a couple of films, worked as a character actor in a number of independent movies and released a handful of albums without becoming a major star in any of the fields in which he has been active. However, critics who try to dismiss or cariciature Gallo are frequently...
