Spencer Tweedy esta últimamente en boca de todos, no porque haya dirigido y protagonizado uno de los últimos vídeos de Wilco , la banda de su padre, sino porque parece que su carrera podría despegar en cualquier momento, y de hecho acaba de publicar "Rushmore", un tema bastante disfrutable que esta subido en SoundCloud y ya se puede escuchar. "Rushmore" es sólo una demo, pero en ella apreciamos que su influencia es claramente su padre y el grupo de Jeff, y de hecho el tema recuerda a la época de [...]

When I first saw the name Spencer Tweedy on the headline for this song, I immediately thought of Jeff Tweedy , lead singer of Wilco . I knew he had a teenager son who is a budding musician and my guess happened to be correct. Spencer Tweedy is just 16 years old, but he is already way ahead of the game. Rushmore is a new song he just put out and although it's listed as a demo, it sounds fairly polished to me. The lo-fi sound quality I think is intentional [...]

Existe uma explicação genética para o talento musical? Spencer Tweedy , filho do frontman do Wilco Jeff Tweedy e mente ativa da internet, tirou pequenas férias de seus deveres como diretor de clipes de sucesso ou membro do The Racoonists para gravar uma demo que o coloca como herdeiro musical direto da banda de seu pai. Rushmore (seria uma referência ao Monte estadunidense ou ao filme de Wes Anderson ?), faixa liberada por Spencer através de seu blog [...]

Rushmore, ($39.95) the dazzling sophomore film from Wes Anderson is equal parts coming-of-age story, French New Wave homage, and screwball comedy. Tenth grader Max Fischer (Jason Schwartzman) is Rushmore Academy's most extracurricular student—and its least scholarly. He faces expulsion, and enters into unlikely friendships with both a lovely first-grade teacher (Olivia Williams) and a melancholy self-made millionaire (Bill Murray, in an award-winning performance). Set to a soundtrack of classic British Invasion tunes, Rushmore defies categorization; it captures the pain and exuberance of adolescence with wit, emotional depth, and cinematic panache. The film is due on Criterion Blu-ray on [...]

Written By Reed Windle Dear Max, I am sorry to say that I have secretly found out that Mr. Blume is having an affair with Miss Cross. My first suspicions came when I saw them Frenching in front of our house. And then I knew for sure when they went skinny dipping in Mr. Blume's swimming pool, giving each other handjobs while you were taking a nap on the front porch. - Dirk Wes Anderson knows [...]

The Norwegian Monica Birkenes is Mr. Little Jeans . She took her name from a character in Wes Anderson 's film Rushmore , which is about an eccentric teenage schoolboy falling in love with his teacher. Her vocals are soft, sultry, deep but at the same time poppy enough to grab the attention of the mass. Her depute album will be released sometime in the end of this year. But til then you can enjoy her EP and some other tracks. This one is a very interesting cover of Arcade Fire's Suburbs . Check it out! [...]
Max Fischer is a Wes Anderson character from the very, very, very good Rushmore. Someone has a blog dedicated to the idea that the character wrote the underrated-yet-still-conflicti ng Wes Anderson movie The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou. I can get down with that idea.

I might as well just have a special section of EMPT dedicated to RAC remixes, these dudes are running a tight ship - producers take note. This time around the collective is remixing Norwegian singer/song writer Monica Birkenes aka Mr. Little Jeans who got her name from that little indian dude in Rushmore. I don't know much about Birkeness expect that she is in fact very little, 161 centimeters and she comes from a very small maritime town on Norway's Southern Coast. Her vocals are about as soft and sultry as you can get without whispering and her production tends [...]

Photos by Tenenbaumfail Maybe it's time to retire the Wes Anderson film character costumes It's ovr. When was the last time Wes Anderson made a movie that resonated with modern society?

I'm a sucker for good music, I'm a sucker for a good movie, and I'm a sucker for a list. So here we are combining the trio. No epic scores (sorry John Williams, Howard Shore, Hans Zimmer, and James Horner), the quality of the movie has no weight, and being an indie band helps your chances. Those are my rules and that's how we're playing. Ready, set, movies! 10. Elizabethtown - Cameron Crowe threw out a [...]

I want the best for my son. I want him to be happy. I want him to go to a school where they teach him about important stuff in today's world. Last year, I enrolled him at the Meme Institute for Gifted Children. I don't care about math, science, and dated skills of the common man, driven to get you a desk job for the rest of your life. I want my son to be an artist, an internet entrepreneur. I want him to be part of a meme that 'changes the way' [...]

Not achievers, as in they were successful. We're talking about ' The Big Lebowski ' Achievers, the ever-growing legion of movie watchers who see the Dude as a deity, those who somehow envy the life of an unemployed slacker and apply Lebowski movie lines to every facet o life. "We've always loved that movie to [...]

Vampire Weekend, in all of their collared shirt glory, graced an enthusiastic LA crowd last night with what was billed as an "intimate performance" to celebrate the release of their fantastic new sophomore release Contra . Witnessing a band meeting or even exceeding the hype that has surrounded them since their songs burst onto the band weasel blogs in '07 is an infinitely gratifying experience. Behold!- a band that does exactly what it wants from the get-go, crafting a sound and look completely distinct amongst their alt rock peers. There has been a lot of chatter, [...]

Filed under: News , Video , Exclusive , Movies Like his movies, each of writer-director Wes Anderson 's soundtracks has a totally unique feel. The British Invasion cuts in ' Rushmore ' burst with teen angst and the drunk-like feelings associated with falling for your first love; the songs in ' The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou ' by the likes of David Bowie and the Stooges are adventurous, even reckless at times. For ' Fantastic Mr. Fox ,' Anderson's first animated feature starring [...]
Whenever I find myself in need of some inspiration, I can always count on the magnificent Bill Murray. I think this goes back to my dad, a former public school history teacher, who had a famous motivational quote from the classic comedy Meatballs (more on that below) tacked up over his desk. I'm not ashamed to admit that I've returned to this particular quote over and over in my life, and I even introduced it to my wife when she needed a pick-me-up.
Rushmore stream new EP Pop rockers Rushmore are streaming their new EP titled " D-List Celebrities " on myspace .
The year 1998 saw the release of many a great film, including Bulworth , Run Lola Run , Saving Private Ryan , and A Simple Plan too name a few. If you arrived at the theater before the movie started, you had one of your only shots at seeing trailers for upcoming films. If you refused to go to the theaters for some sick reason, you had only one other option. That other option is where I sneaked a peek at one of my favorite films, with one [...]
