Yo La Tengo - 'The Sounds Of Science', Now Streaming On The Criterion Channel

‘The Sounds of Science : Yo La Tengo Plays Painlevé

The mesmerizing, utterly unclassifiable films of Jean Painlevé have to be seen to be believed: delightful, surrealist-influenced dream works that are also serious science. The French filmmaker-scientist-inventor had a decades-spanning career in which he created hundreds of short films on subjects ranging from astronomy to pigeons to, most famously, such marine-life marvels as the seahorse and the sea urchin. Set to an original score—never before available to stream—by indie-rock heroes Yo La Tengo, the suite of eight underwater miniatures presented here captures the strange beauty and wonder of the aquatic world with a Dadaist’s eye.

Yo La Tengo’s latest album, This Stupid World, will be released on February 10 by Matador Records.

King Krule - "Alone, Omen 3"

February 5th, 2020 at 3:02 pm by The Management

This afternoon (Wednesday, 5 February) King Krule releases "Alone, Omen 3," the second single from his forthcoming album 'Man Alive!'. The track comes with a video directed by Archy Marshall's close friend Jocelyn Anquetil and was co-written by the artist and director.

Featuring Archy surrounded by his friends, band mates, and collaborators, the video backs up the message that "you're not alone." Archy explains: "I felt like I had gotten out of a dark place, and I was on a high. I appreciated the depression... but I also liked how I felt better in the here and now."

On Monday, February 10, NYC's Metrograph Cinema is hosting "An Evening With King Krule", a special marathon screening event with video selections from King Krule and his collaborators, as well as two films that have inspired him: Maya Deren’s experimental "Meshes of the Afternoon" and the landmark French animation "Fantastic Planet". Tickets are available here.

King Krule's third album 'Man Alive!' is out February 21st via True Panther / Matador Records. Catch him on tour across North America in April (dates below)

Algiers - New Dates With "Burn To Shine" Screenings

March 2nd, 2016 at 12:20 pm by The Management

(photo : Titouan Massé)

Algiers have announced a run of East Coast tour dates that will be accompanied by screenings of the sixth installment of Brendan Canty (Fugazi) and Christoph Green’s Burn To Shine film series. After being delayed for nearly a decade, Burn To Shine 6: Atlanta will premiere on April 9th at The EARL in Atlanta, with performances by Algiers and Moon Diagrams (Moses Archuleta of Deerhunter).

The filmmakers and Algiers will then take the screenings up the East Coast (the latter's full list of tour dates below includes Coachella and Panorama Festival), with the film available at burntoshineatlanta.com following the April 13th screening in NYC

Producer Brendan Canty and Director Christoph Green filmed 6 editions of Burn To Shine with their roving crew of shooters and audio geeks between 2004 and 2007, which included the likes of Wilco, Sleater-Kinney, Shellac, The Shins, Eddie Vedder, Tortoise, Will Oldham, Ted Leo, and many more.

Burn To Shine 6: Atlanta full line-up includes performances by Shannon Wright, The Selmanaires, The Liverhearts, Deerhunter, the Carbonas, The Black Lips, The Mighty Hannibal, Delia Gartrell, The Coathangers, All Night Drug Prowling Wolves, Mastadon, and Snowden.

After being delayed for nearly a decade, this Atlanta installment, curated by Lee Tesche of Algiers, holds vitality like no other, showing a music scene and city in transition, where generations past collide with major bands on the rise, capturing artists at the height of their powers, a few local legends who have since disappeared, and others that have gone on to much wider success.

Algiers Tour Dates & Screenings:
April 9 - Atlanta, GA - The EARL - Burn To Shine screening premiere - w/ Moon Diagrams (Moses Archuleta from Deerhunter)

October 3 In NYC : The 2nd Ever Screening of Chain Gang's Mondo Manhattan

September 29th, 2013 at 7:10 pm by Gerard

An Orgy of Self-Congratulation, Grandstanding & Overconsumption : Matador Artists & Staff Select Their 2012 Favorites

December 12th, 2012 at 8:00 am by Gerard

(above : angry mob reacts to the news that at least two or 3 people didn't even mention the Total Control 7")

Around this time every year, your ~~overpaid~~ overworked editor attempts to coax a list of favorite recordings, books, television programs, life events, etc. out of the label's artist roster and our rock biz colleagues. In the past, the exercise has been an arduous process, fraught with nagging, teeth-gnashing and no shortage of reluctant participants. In more recent times, however, the serial oversharing epidemic that's run rampant throughout all online activity has infected our bands and staff alike. The rhetorical question, "who fucking asked you?" cannot be applied in this instance, because they were all asked. For some historical perspective, here's last year's pile. Questions or comments about our lousy tastes and/or blatant omissions are welcome (but not necessarily appreciated). And away we go!

Damian Abraham, Fucked Up

My fav records that I acquired off my want list this year:

Da Slyme - "st" (with 1/1 FUCKED UP "Couple Tracks cover" haha) DBLP
- I got this thru Hits and Misses (RIP) in Toronto but it came from the drummer I believe. It didn't have a cover but the covers were just spraypainted covers of random records, so my friend Woody made me a copy of his cover and I recreated the stencil on a Fucked Up lp. A seminal Canadian record that I have wanted since I read about it in the Smash the State lp insert.

Black Task - Blacktask/Spikes To The Wall (Radio Raheem)
Feedtime - Today Is Friday (SSR), box set (Sub/Pop),
The Pin Group - 'Retrospective' (Siltbreeze)
Soggy - Slog (Memoire Neuve)

live : Monoshock, (Hemlock Tavern, SF, July), Destruction Unit (Beerland and The Grand, Austin, March, Red 7, Austin, July and November), Pygmy Shrews finale (285 Kent, Brooklyn, February) Bits Of Shit (Beerland, Austin, September, Hi-Tone Lounge, Memphis, September), Gary Wrong Group (Hi-Tone Lounge, Memphis, September), SsserpentssS (Austin, too many times), Shellac (Lincoln Theatre, Chicago, August) Mark Kozelek (Scottish Rite Theatre, Austin, September), Swans (LaZone Rosa, Austin), Feedtime (Beerland, Austin, April, Midnight (Beerland, Austin, June), Puffy Areolas (Beerland, Austin, March), ), Sonny Vincent & The Bad Reactions (Beerland, Austin, May), Death Of Samantha (Trailer Space, Austin, March), Wussy (Mohawk, Austin, June)

Cat Power teaser, long-form film to come

October 22nd, 2012 at 3:01 pm

Here is a short teaser for a long-form film I'm making for Cat Power. The
film stars Jade and Hazel Altheide, two female teenage BMX riders who live
just outside of Albuquerque, New Mexico. As you will see they both totally
rip. This production has a pretty funny story actually. On a Thursday
morning in September I got a call from Gaby Basora, who designs a really
cool fashion line from New York called Tucker. I had never met Gaby or
her team before. They proceeded to tell me about these two girls they had
heard about in New Mexico who ride BMX bikes and how they were great and
really stylish and would I be interested in going to make a movie about
them. There was a catch though. We needed to start shooting the next day!
None of us had ever met Jade and Hazel or their family, and really had no
idea what the landscape in New Mexico would be like, but heck, I'm always
down for an adventure. I agreed to do it and the next morning we were on a
plane with cameras and gear to go shoot this movie. I had no idea what it
was gonna be.

Cat Power NOTHIN' BUT TIME (Teaser) by Aaron Rose from Aaron Rose on Vimeo.

When we arrived, we met the Altheide family, quickly got our gear together
and hit the trails. All I can say is wow! The girls were absolutely
beautiful and the surrounding landscape (as you can see) was beyond
magnificent. Coincidentally, as we were making this, Cat Power had
Just dropped her new record SUN. I was listening to it on the rental car
Radio as we cruised through the mountains of New Mexico and it just really
fit the vibe of what we were making. If you've ever been to NM, you know
How much sun they have...TONS! The song featured in this video is called
"Nothin' But Time" and I think it just fits perfectly. The way Chan screams
"I wanna live!" just fits the freedom of jumping bikes and bombing down
hills so perfectly. It was a match made in heaven. The upcoming long-form
film will include the entire eleven minute version of "Nothin' But Time".
We're making it now. So excited to get this out. Stay tuned.

Never Mind The Oscars, CHAIN GANG ARE BACK...

February 23rd, 2012 at 12:04 pm by Gerard

...on the big screen, anyway. Chain Gang's centuries in the making "Mondo Manhattan" receives a screening Saturday, March 3 at 1pm as part of NYC's Demented Film Festival . You really don't want to know what kind of VIP gift bag opportunities there are at this event.

This monumental occasion comes very quickly on the heels of Chain Gang's Ricky Luanda releasing a limited edition 7" to accompany the deluxe paperback of Boo-Hooray's "Ed Wood's Sleaze Paperbacks". WIth all due respect to Lana Del Rey, Jeremy Lin and Rick Santorum with this flurry of activity, 2012 is quickly shaping up to be The Year Of Chain Gang.

RIP, Great Purveyor Of Production Values, Working On "Spec"

Au revoir, to "Soul Train" creator Don Corneilus, who made his exit from this cruel world earlier this morning. While "Soul Train"'s status as the the longest, continuously running first-run syndicated program in television history will no doubt be cited in Don's obits, it was his star turn as independent label magnate Mo Fuzz in Bill Fishman's 1988 comedy, "Tapeheads", that provided a fledgling Matador Records with a genuine role model.

A Ned Beatty Performance More Harrowing Than "Deliverance"

January 4th, 2011 at 5:06 pm by Gerard

Though I've already used this space to sing the praises of Zack Carlson & Bryan Connolly's "Destroy All Movies : The Complete Guide To Punks On Film", our extended Xmas break provided me with additional opportunities to get stuck into this impressive reference manual. There's amazing factoids and brutal critiques on almost every page (the turgid Arye Gross college radio star vehicle, "A Matter Of Degrees" is dismissed as "the emotional trials of a guy who looks like he's been in school longer than Archie") and best of all, many introductions to cinematic sludge only the insane or truly obsessed would already know about.

Case in point, 1998's kiddie film. "The Purple People Eater", described by Connolly as "the strangest E.T. rip-off of them all" (and this is coming from a man undoubtedly familiar with "Mac & Me"). "Is this the only film based on a novelty song?" Well, that depends whether not you consider C.W. McCall's "Convoy" a novelty song. But either way, it might be the worst film ever based on a novelty song. In addition to the cast mentioned in the above trailer, "The Purple People Eater" also features a pre-"Dougie Howser" / "Starship Troopers" Neil Patrick Harris, a pre-parental flipout Thora Birch, and inexplicably, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who might have the weirdest filmography of any professional athlete not named Todd Zeile.

"Class Of 1984" - Unjustly Dicked Out Of The 1982 Academy Awards

December 12th, 2010 at 8:23 pm by Gerard

Seriously. Who the fuck remembers "E.T."? A couple of years ago, I talked the owners of a local tavern into letting me screen Mark Lester's mindblowing "Class Of 1984" as part of a makeshift birthday party/film festival. "Who doesn't want to see Michael J. Fox get stabbed?" I asked, though as it turned out, attention spans amongst my friends were running low, the volume on the bar's TV was lower, or perhaps Michael J. Fox wasn't stabbed nearly enough times. Either way, this film remains an all-time favorite of mine, and if it couldn't be part of a holiday tradition for me, perhaps it will become one for you.

There's much to recommend about "Class Of 1984" ; the ferocious, self-righteous over-acting of Perry King as concerned educator Andrew Norris ; Timothy Van Patten (son of dog-food magnate Dick, "Salami" from the equally brilliant "The White Shadow" and in more recent years, a key, behind-the-scenes contributor to "The Wire" and "Boardwalk Empire") as faux-punk gangleader Stegman ; Roddy McDowell as an increasingly cynical science teacher who ultimately turns a gun on his teenage tormentors ; a musical cameo from Teenage Head, essentially giving away the film's Toronto location. But why listen to me? If I celebrated Xmas and/or hadn't already purchased a copy, I'd be asking Satan Santa for the newly published "Destroy All Movies!" (Fantagraphics Books), in which the amazing tome's co-author, Zack Carlson, hails "Class Of 1984" as "just a perfect exploitation movie."

"Originally slapped with an X rating, it's relentlessly seedy, overflowing with assault, suicide, racism, grimy sex, drug use and crime crime crime, all of which is perpetrated by minors! Exaggerated or not, the gang practically wrote the textbook for countless delinquent groups that would terrorize big-screen high schools through the 80's and beyond. There's a consistent, pervasive air of innocent helplessness and leather-clad heartlessness that makes this movie the flat-out best in its genre."

The Greatest Piece of (Rock) Historical Revisionism Ever Committed To Video

October 21st, 2010 at 12:58 am by Gerard

You know the old saying, "those who forget the past are condemned to repeat it?" No? Well, it's a pretty good saying. The above Pussy Galore bio pic by Michele O'Mara, however brings to mind the truism "history is best retold by persons who don't give a shit about accuracy or likenesses" (OK, I made that up myself). With all due respect to meme-tastic crazes like keyboard kitties and Alexyss Tylor, I see no reason why this video shouldn't top a million or more views by the end of the week. (thanks to Linda Wolfe for the heads-up about this astonishing video)

What they're up to: Kathryn Calder, Mogwai, Dead Meadow, Matmos

May 26th, 2010 at 3:06 pm

Even though we'd been convinced that all that slaving away at the myriad marketing gimmicks, "promo opportunities" and general suffering we put bands through would leave us with some very exhausted talent, it turns out that these guys just can't stop doing thangs... read on to see what some of our beloved have been up to.

Though she's on tour with the New Pornographers, as we speak, Kathryn Calder just put the finishing touches on her new solo record. On August 11 the world'll be treated to 'Are You My Mother?' which features an all-star band featuring Neko, Kurt and Todd from The New Pornographers and a handful of other Canadian musical luminaries. Check File Under: Music for more info.

Mogwai will be releasing the pretty stunning looking live LP entitled, 'Special Moves' to coincide with the release of their first live film 'Burning', which was filmed in Brooklyn during the band's tour in support of 'The Hawk Is Howling' in April of 2009. Check Mogwai's site for info on ordering the record and where you can catch screenings of 'Burning'.

Dead Meadow shot by 3mmet

Following the release of their live-film, Dead Meadow released their second live album 'Three Kings' and soundtrack to aforementioned film, on the Xemu label in April.

Matmos and So Percussion shot by maggiemoo1

Matmos' Drew Daniel and Martin Schmitt have teamed up with So Percussion on a collaboration entitled 'Treasure State' -- expect to have your mind twisted on July 8. Cantaloupe Records sez: "The record had a complex gestation period: at the invitation of Brett Allen, the members of Matmos and So Percussion went to the SnowGhost Studios in Whitefish, Montana-- the Treasure State which gives the album its title-- and collaboratively generated the bulk of the songs. San Francisco plunderphonicist Wobbly then chopped and edited the results on several tracks, and finally, with frequent interventions from Matmos' M. C. Schmidt, "fifth" So Percussion member and producer Lawson White overdubbed extra elements, processed, and mixed the results." There's a handful of live dates, to boot!

Coming To A Multiplex Near You : The "Walk The Line" Of Movies That Feature A Ton Of Church-Burning

May 25th, 2009 at 11:46 pm by Gerard

There have been reports of a dramatic interpretation of Michael Moynahin and Dirk Soderlind's "Lords Of Chaos" hitting the big screen someday, and perhaps adding a mainstream movie star to the mix will help with the financing. You've thrilled to Shane West as Darby Crash, tried to get your head around Elijah Wood as Iggy, perhaps you're even psyched to see Jamie Foxx as Frank Sinatra. But unless you've been reading Metal Underground.com (or whoever they've been reading), you probably didn't know that "Twilight"'s Jackson Rathbone has been tapped to play the part of Varg Vikernes (above).

Much as I respect the opinion of those who made this casting decision, I feel compelled to protest. Who exactly does Kenneth Branagh have to fuck to get a look in?
