Interview: Caitlin Rose
by Ze Pequeno • June 2013
Interviews can be such a finicky thing. That said, having been doing this for the past few years, I can attest there are many bad interviews out there. More often than not, they are these awkward things wherein...Show More Summary
Modest Mouse cancel UK tour to focus on recording, because though they have iPads, you can’t do both of those things at once
Hey, what do you know? Ol’ Isaac Whosits and his rock band Modest Mouse are still out there doing stuff. Or at least, they were about to be.

The Purge
Dir. James DeMonaco
[Universal Pictures; 2013]
by Alex Peterson
Rating:
I know your interest might be piqued by its fascinating premise, but trust me, just skip this film. You’ve been here before, many times, just while watching a movie made with far less unaware sanctimony. Show More Summary

Weber may have been talking about religious figures and fascists when he developed his conception of charismatic authority, but he may as well have been outlining Mark E Smith. Show More Summary
? Listen: Rambutan - “Topology”
Enter another slab of music marked “drift” — the ears aren’t perfect, but they pick up enough clues to spark some mental images of the scene of the drone: maybe synths spread out in crescent moon formation, a tape deck could plug into...Show More Summary
Joel Ford and Patrick McDermott went antiquing the other day and found(ed) a whole record label in mint condition!
The other day Joel Ford was doing a bit of antiquing when he found(ed) something that he thought was really rare and unique: an entire record label called Driftless Recordings! Naturally, he was so excited he couldn’t wait to phone up...Show More Summary
Watch: Mykki Blanco - “The Initiation”
The most impressive overall attribute of Mykki Blanco, and what errrrybody is talking about, is her unflinching straight-fac… [sorry, no] pokerface. Physically. Figuratively. Metaphorically. Sexually. It’s all she’s about. Like, in “The...Show More Summary

Mexican Summer to release Travis Bretzer’s Making Love EP, gives you the best rash ever
I’m at a loss for how to really process Travis Bretzer’s music. The visual content of it seems, possibly intentionally, opposed to the musical content of it. Have a butchers at the cover of his album Making Love, forthcoming on Mexican Summer. Show More Summary
Premiere: Sic Alps - “Biz Bag”

Cerberus: Rollin Hunt - The Phoney
By Jspicer on Jun 06 2013
Rollin Hunt is the sort of happy sad sack that has a keen eye for spelling out the most mundane and making it seem magical with lovely flourishes and demur melodies. The Phoney is a dichotomy of emotions and remembrances that evokes Jon Brion (another mention in Cerberus!) in the apocalypse. Show More Summary
