For a while in the late 1960s and early ’70s, if you heard the terms “French film” or “French New Wave” or even just “foreign film” (outside of France), many people’s thoughts went straight to Claude Lelouch’sA Man and a Woman(Un homme et une femme), a major worldwide hit of 1966 about the simple mysteries
Planet B (Justin Pearson and Luke Henshaw) enlist Johnny Whitney of the Blood Brothers for guest vocals on “War’s Coming Home”, a monumental blast of industrial fury with lyrics that recall the provocations of Whitney’s best-known project. From the opening lines, shrieked by Whitney, “Fake ass GI Joe / I-C-E war’s coming home”, the song
“Love is what makes it all worthwhile. Otherwise, there’s no taste. Life is just dry.”—Crispian Mills of Kula Shaker, 2026. In a candid Zoom discussion spanning thousands of miles between the West Coast and Western Europe, the frontman of English psychedelic rock band Kula Shaker treated me to a glimpse into his existential mind. Although
“It might not all be easy listening, but it’s certainly intentional.” That’s a direct quote from the press notes for the latest record from the Nicole Saphos Band. The new self-titled album from the Los Angeles-raised, Philadelphia-based artist is equal parts meditative, angry, sensitive, and intense, with a style rooted largely in indie rock but

My Word Against Mine (2025), screened in the International Competition at the One World Festival, begins raw. People sit facing the camera, framed head-on, answering a psychiatrist we never see. The face occupies the center of the frame; the office disappears; what remains is speech, the wait between one sentence and the next. Sometimes the
Saxophonist Jon Irabagon is the kind of modern jazz musician who makes hash of boundaries, categories, and debates about “the tradition” being at odds with the vanguard. He is a Juilliard-trained virtuoso with mastery of the jazz tradition dating back a century,anda musician who regularly runs roughshod over the so-called rules. He records electric and
There’s more than one reason they tell you not to reinvent the wheel. It’s to dissuade the people who don’t have the skills to do it, sure, but also to make sure you don’t find yourself in the dangerous profession of Wheel Reinventor. While there are certainly worse things to be known for than reliably
Few bands lodged themselves into the consciousness of a British youth generation as much as the Stone Roses. Emerging in the late 1980s with the single “Sally Cinnamon”, they seemed, for a brief shining moment, to embody the future of rock music itself. Yet the real measure of their importance is not the records but
In December 2017, Trinisha Browne opened for Azealia Banks at L’Olympia in Montreal. The lights had barely dimmed before her voice, bright, rhythmic, Caribbean, filled the room. Then, an emerging artist still shaping her sound, she began the evening with “Glow”, an unreleased song at the time but destined to return years later, reimagined and
Slaughter High Novelization Book Review by Matt Boiselle First of all I’d like to offer up a freshly baked hearty bowl of thanks to the group over at Terrorcore Publishing for allowing me to review one of their latest releases, the novelization of “Slaughter High” – the 1986 slasher directed by Mark Ezra, Peter Litten

Who could’ve predicted that a Chicago-based instrumental band that released two albums in 1998 and 2001 before dropping out of sight would release their third album in 2026? It’s been an insane 12 months, so nothing seems surprising these days. Pullman feature members of Tortoise, Come, Gastr Del Sol, and Eleventh Dream Day (among others)
“Excuse me,” says Captain Kirk in 1989’s Star Trek V: The Final Frontier, directed by and starring William Shatner, “Excuse me, I just want to ask a question.” He says this not as a seasoned captain of a spaceship, but as if he were no more than a curious student, “What does God need with
Mailin María Silvia Esteve Party Film 12 March 2026 | One World María Silvia Esteve’s documentary Mailin is less interested in recounting trauma than in showing how it settles into ordinary life. The film follows Mailin Gobbo, an Argentinian woman seeking justice years after being sexually abused by a priest who once occupied a trusted
Project Hail Mary Phil Lord, Christopher Miller Amazon/MGM March 2026 Some may walk out of Phil Lord and Christopher Miller’s goofy and pop-operatic adaptation of Andy Weir’s novel Project Hail Mary trying to string together all the shards of hard science fiction-speak that just burst from the screen at them. They may be able to
Diamonds used to feel like a special occasion thing. They were once reserved for weddings or special events. But honestly? The rulebook is long gone. These days diamonds are showing up at brunch, the office, and, yes, even on a Tuesday grocery run. And that’s exactly the kind of energy we are here for. Now
There is something every woman has experienced at least once: standing in front of a mirror before a big event, smoothing her hands over her dress, and wishing everything just sat a little more perfectly. Shapewear has long been the go-to fix for that feeling, but layering a separate garment under a dress is not
Upon its initial release 30 years ago, Wes Craven’s Scream (1996) was hailed by horror fans and critics alike as a much-needed slice to the arm for the staid and stale slasher subgenre. Exhibiting a cunning self-awareness of the genre’s well-worn tropes and plot devices, the post-modernist overtones of Craven’s film heralded a sharp sea
Saxophonist Ben Wendel has been experimenting with form and technology throughout most of his career. He is an ambitious composer and fluid improviser, so that makes him a “jazz” musician by default. Whether on his own or as a founding member of the band Kneebody, he has played with groove-oriented rhythms, electronics, and unusual instrumentation,
For Footballhead’s Weight of the Truth, a “post-grunge revival” is hard to claim. There have consistently been new bands popping up that play the style, while Nickelback and Three Days Grace have never stopped being discussed. Perhaps “post-grunge reassessment” is a better wording. What in the 2000s was viewed as a gravel-throated cyst on the
There’s a documentary by directors Michael Dunaway and Tara Wood called 21 Years: Richard Linklater. The title comes from “the notion that an artist’s career can be summarized within its first 21 years.” If we go back in time from its release year of 2014, the 21 years of the title takes us back 1993;
Country Super Hits Volume 2 Jim Lauderdale Independent 5 December 2025 The last time I saw Jim Lauderdale, it was at a morning show at a bar in Nashville, where he was teaching the audience Tai Chi. He had a big smile on his face during his instructions, as he explained how Tai Chi helps
Peter and the Wolf billy woods, Mickey Diamond and Sam Seed Sukseed / Deep Fried Beats 20 March 2026 There is a version of underground hip-hop that has become so fluent in its own language. These are tough tales of street corners, the weight of cocaine and consequence, the documentation of hard lives lived under
Producer/collaborator Justin Raisen has unlocked another level of Kim Gordon’s eternal (no Sonic Youth pun intended) coolness on the three solo albums they have created together. The indie icon’s last album, The Collective, was a triumph, blending her inimitable voice and provocative, humorous commentary with trunk-rattling trap beats and blasts of abrasive noise. Play Me
Had Styles P not hurled a chair at Sean “Puffy” Combs, there’s no telling how the LOX would’ve settled their contractual dispute. However, this was the summer of 1999, and the Yonkers trio—composed of Jadakiss, Styles P, and Sheek Louch—had exhausted almost every resource at their disposal to get out of Bad Boy Entertainment, the
Xiu Mutha Fuckin’ Xiu: Vol. 1 Xiu Xiu Polyvinyl 16 January 2026 Xiu Xiu’s prodigious output is marked by some truly astonishing, far-reaching covers they’ve included over the past two and a half decades.

The Married to Medicine Season 12 reunion brought the cast together in a unified display of red, with each woman interpreting the color through couture silhouettes, embellishment, and dramatic styling.
