“Arcade Fire's Will Butler to Score Short Film”
While they work on a new album at DFA Studios, at least one member of Montreal indie powerhouse Arcade Fire is pulling double duty. Multi-instrumentalist Will Butler is currently hard at work on a score for a short film. The film is being directed by Jeff Newburg and is called Home Burial. The short is based on the Robert Frost poem of the same name. The filmmakers describe the project as "a blend of impressionistic exteriors and grounded interiors, modestly accenting an earnest period film." Butler himself explains his intentions for the score, saying, "The music for...Read More

“Yeah Yeah Yeahs: they wear it well”
They've spent 13 years fighting the critics, depression and each other. Yet somehow Yeah Yeah Yeahs are still together and doing their best to wrong-foot their fans
Karen Orzolek has a giddy, machine-gun rattle of a laugh that's ever so cute and endearing. But if you're not careful she'll use it to dangerous effect. Such as when she's flustered by a question, or embarrassed about something, or just a little tongue-tied. Out it comes, The Laugh, and if you don't stay on your toes, the conversation will have already moved on towards safer territory. It's not what you expect from a woman who made a name for herself leaping across stages in ripped fishnets, shrieking lines like "As a fuck, son, you suck" and whose costumes could give Lady Gaga's a run for their money.

Julius Eastman died alone of a heart attack in 1990, aged 49, following years of homelessness and crack addiction. It was a sad end to a broad, creative life: Eastman was once the leather-clad, gay provocateur of New York classical minimalism, who sang for composer Peter Maxwell Davies, and aggravated John Cage by undressing a man on stage while interpreting a piece of his. Eastman's own compositions for multiple piano, with titles such as Evil Nigger and Gay Guerrilla, convey Wagnerian grandeur with a handful of repeated notes.
