Meek's Cutoff Kelly Reichardt's film, Meek's Cutoff , is a fascinating film because it manages to remain captivating despite the appearance of not much happening. The film focuses on settlers traveling across the harsh Oregon High Dessert to find a new life. Instead of making a film with grand set pieces, Reichardt opts for a film that takes a more contemplative tone. The film manages to really place the audience in the shoes of the settlers, who are struggling to find their way. Though mesmerizing, Meek's Cutoff is bound to annoy some [...]

Philip Seymour Hoffman & Mutual Benefit - Split Cassette Mutual Benefit 's enchanting " Autumn Epitaphs " rings with the jarred and twinkling ambience of morning, as sampled from Chinese song " Fishing Village Girl ", and forms the perfect inaugural track for Kassette Klub 's latest full length release. The 32-minute tape split between Mutual Benefit 's ethereal electronic folk record The Cowboy's Prayer and Philip Seamour Hoffman 's desolate and downcast Your Loving Brother is a voyage of [...]

I've always admired, no, adored Noah Klein for his unchallenged sincerity and truthfulness when it comes to making music as Philip Seymour Hoffman , a rare attitude that enfolds every aspect of his creative output, and I'm sure it also relates to every single aspect of his personal life and him "being" both Noah and PSH. Now, after a terribly long silence (or rather not, but it felt just like that), Noah is about to drop new material. Your Loving Brother is one side of a marvelous split cassette with Mutual Benefit , to be released [...]

In The Ides Of March , Ryan Gosling takes on the role of Stephen Meyers, a junior campaign manager for a seemingly fresh and idealistic Governor (George Clooney), who slowly becomes disillusioned and corrupted by the Machiavellian scheming of campaign politics. Directed by Clooney and based on the play Farragut North, the film is thematically rich, but is let down by dry presentation. The Ides Of March opens with Stephen Meyers (Gosling) preparing a venue for his candidate Governor Morris to take part in the first debate of the Ohio democratic state primary [...]

Candy Claws - The Sun is My Girl Steffaloo - the red runs free Yohuna - Hometown Key Recently Noah ( Philip Seymour Hoffman ) came out to LA and played a dinner and a show at my parents house in Venice with Yohuna . I have to say, it was one of the most pleasant nights I've had in a long time. Caleb cooked us all a delicious vegan dinner and a group of 30 people hung out, ate and chatted. Well, it was [...]

Tomorrow there's no place I'd rather be than the Metro Gallery here in Baltimore. Four bands/artists (Phillip Seymour Hoffman, Lands & Peoples, Holy Spirits, and Mutual Benefit) will... [go to the website to read the rest of the article, download mp3s and more]

The two new Snow White films will be pitted against one another next summer at the box office. Both films have A-List stars, but which one will get the leg up at the box office? Smart money is on the Huntsman , which stars Kristen Stewart , Charlize Theron and Chris Hemsworth . Historically, when two films with similar subject matter are released simultaneously, the one that get the earlier theater date is the one that gets recognized, while [...]

Dillon James Rego a/k/a ALASKAS sent us these answers to our questions in this next installment of the q and also a series. q: What is the last song you (really) heard? a: I've really fallen for this song Fireball (youtube) by Don Spencer . It's a pretty song about love and dreams of being a spaceman. I caught it on this teenpopdoowop rarities collection I picked up. A little research tells me that it was the theme song to this show Fireball XL5 [...]

Sutja Gutiérrez - I don't want to be alone (Reprise) Sutja Gutiérrez - Borderline (Hell, I'm The) Sutja Gutiérrez has been pumping out the jams in Spain for quite awhile. This Week he put out his latest album called White Ponycorn In My Room (via Jaxart ). This album is chalked full of acoustic guitar mixed with other comforting noises making a drug inducing love song lullaby. He walks the line between simple pop song and genius low fi. You can grab the album [...]

I'm not sure why these weren't posted before. I think we all just got carried away with the tour right after the fest and didn't get a chance to post these. There are definitely more to come but here is something to get started with. I hope you guys enjoy! I know we did. it was so fun celebrating the end of the year with 2000 fmly members over two days. This year will be even better. You can always check out all the videos from past events at the FMLY playhouse . Emily Reo [...]

Last night Indian Rebound , Toro Y Moi , and Cloud Nothings played a sold out show at Mercury Lounge. It was good to finally catch Indian Rebound in action. These boys can really play live. All the songs found a new life live. They sounded fleshed out and a lot fuller than they do recorded, which is always a good sign. The band introduced us to some new songs such as "Josephine" & "Baby Blue". Indian Rebound may be young, but they can bring it like the rest of them. If you haven't already, check [...]

This is a pretty absurd line-up for Mercury Lounge. Cloud Nothings and Toro y Moi could both probably carry their own Bowery or MHOW show (in fact, Toro y Moi will be doing just that on April 10th). Cloud Nothings are very high on both my Favorite Songs and Favorite Albums lists for 2010, and they were on a lot of other people's lists, as well. This could very well be one of your last chances to catch them at a relatively small NYC venue. Indian Reboun d is playing the show, too, and I was only just [...]

I have no words to describe what happened during FMLY FEST. It was truly a FMLY affair. We had a geodesic on the corner of Venice and La Brea, had over 40 bands, artists, and love. When we aren't on tour, there will be more posted on the fest. On another note, if you are in San Francisco tonight, come hang with us at Submission !
