New Film /

The work of director, Dario Argento 

I recently watched Deep Red [above], Suspiria, and Demons. Every movie has a different feel to it, but it 
is all good, which is what amazes me about Argento: the scope in style that he mastered. Detroit has a zombie walk. Zombies walk around, bands play creepy music, it rules. I like festivals, I like when people have their own festivals. I like day parties at festivals, or just about any day. It’s almost a picnic and show in one. I like small shows where your friends are at. Where people know you. Where faces are happy to see you.

EXBX Tapes

EXBX Tapes is my friend Dan from Detroit. He puts out really good weirdo noise music. He hand-makes the art and assembles it himself. Everything that goes into one of his tapes feels distinct and real.

Ursula K. Le Guin’s The 
Dispossessed

This woman is probably my favourite author. I have read almost everything she ever wrote and her book The 
Dispossessed really challenged my thinking when I read it a couple years ago. Plus, her science fiction novel A Wizard of Earthsea was made into a movie by Studio Ghibli, which is really sick.

Mark McGuire, Emeralds

My roommate Adam and I have been playing Mark McGuire’s album, Pocket Full of Rain, all summer and some other tapes our other roommate has showed us that he did. I really like everything this guy has done. I sit and watch him play guitar on YouTube when I’m bored.

Ah, finally someone’s put some thought into the whole attribution thing: who found what first, where, why and when.

Fate is the record, Dr. Dog were destined to make a timeless yet contemporary distillation of the band’s open-armed, big-hearted sound. Inventive, magnificently realized, and absolutely irresistible, the Park The Van Records release sees the Philadelphia-based quintet filtering the gamut of American popular music into its own idiosyncratic brand of blue-eyed, dilated-pupil soul. As ever, Dr. Dog makes magic from an enduring pop palette of intricate harmonies, shape-shifting melodies, and ramshackle audio ingenuity all presented through their slightly skewed and utterly individualistic outlook.

When I first saw the freakishly long, beaded Ghostdancer earrings on a friend of mine, I was shocked to actually be looking at something undoubtedly inspired by Native American art that didn’t actually insult someone’s culture. Read more
