OTHER MUSIC / 3 DIRECTORS’ STATEMENT When we first heard Other Music was closing, we were devastated. We both have a deep connection to the store. Rob is an ex-staff member, and Puloma was a longtime customer and a friend to many people at the store. Other Music was a place where we both learned a lot about music, were introduced to New York City culture, and gained a second family in a daunting new city. Through our ties to Other Music we met each other, got married, became filmmaking partners and had a child together. We are so honored to have the privilege of being able to tell the story of a place that was so special to us and to our lives in New York City— as it was to so many other people. We hope our film further cements Other Music’s legacy as one of New York City’s most important musical landmarks, and inspires people around the world to keep its spirit alive. - Puloma Basu & Rob Hatch-Miller OTHER MUSIC / 4 INTERVIEWS Martin Gore Dean Wareham Ezra Koenig JD Samson Tunde Adebimpe Depeche Mode Galaxie 500 Vampire Weekend Le Tigre TV On The Radio Panda Bear Avey Tare Regina Spektor Benicio Del Toro Daniel Kessler Animal Collective Animal Collective Singer/Songwriter Actor Interpol Lizzy Goodman Brian Chase Matt Berninger Stephin Merritt Jason Schwartzman Journalist Yeah Yeah Yeahs The National The Magnetic Fields Actor/Musician OTHER MUSIC / 5 BIOGRAPHIES Puloma Basu - DIRECTOR/PRODUCER Rob Hatch-Miller - DIRECTOR/PRODUCER As a filmmaking duo, Puloma Basu and Rob is a filmmaker and Producers Guild of America Rob Hatch-Miller were recently listed among member based in Los Angeles, CA.

  • Indie Mixtape 20 Q&A Is with Proper., Who Can Sing All the Words to Every Kanye and Say Anything Album (Even the Bad Ones)
    :: View email as a web page :: Chuck Klosterman once observed that every straight American man “has at least one transitionary period in his life when he believes Led Zeppelin is the only good band that ever existed.” Typically, this “Zeppelin phase” occurs in one’s teens, when a band that sings lasciviously about squeezing lemons while contemplating hobbits aligns with the surging hormones of the listener. But what about when you hit your early 30s? Is there a band that corresponds with graying beards and an encroaching sense of mortality? We believe, based on anecdotal evidence, that this band is the Grateful Dead. So many people who weren’t Dead fans when Jerry Garcia was alive have come to embrace the band, including many people in the indie-rock community, whether it’s Ezra Koenig of Vampire Weekend, Jim James of My Morning Jacket, or scores of others. Check out this piece on why the Dead is so popular now, even as the 25th anniversary of Garcia’s death looms, and let us know why you like them on Twitter. -- Steven Hyden, Uproxx Cultural Critic and author of This Isn't Happening: Radiohead's "Kid A" And The Beginning Of The 21st Century PS: Was this email forwarded to you?

  • Vampire Weekend Album Download Vampire Weekend Start '2021' with New 40:42 EP Featuring Two New Reinterpretations of Their Song
    vampire weekend album download Vampire Weekend start '2021' with new 40:42 EP featuring two new reinterpretations of their song. For their new 40:42 EP released Thursday, the Grammy-winning band commissioned acclaimed jazz saxophonist Sam Gendel and the Connecticut rock quintet Goose to both create their own reinterpretations of the Father of the Bride album track. One twist though: Vampire Weekend gave Gendel and Goose the directive to turn their one minute and thirty-nine second long song into two twenty minute and twenty-one second versions (hence the title 40:42 ). In addition to fans being able to hear the two unique interpretations, Gendel and Goose both came with their own visuals. While Gendel's jazzy take comes with some improvisational animation, Goose chose to film themselves performing an intimate, up-close take on the song. Watch both Sam Gendel and Goose's versions of Vampire Weekend's "2021" above. The 40:42 EP is now available to stream across all digital platforms. Vampire Weekend. Purchase and download this album in a wide variety of formats depending on your needs. Buy the album Starting at £12.49. With the Internet able to build up or tear down artists almost as soon as they start practicing, the advance word and intense scrutiny doesn't always do a band any favors. By the time they've got a full-length album ready to go, the trend-spotters are already several Hot New Bands past them. Vampire Weekend started generating buzz in 2006 -- not long after they formed -- but their self-titled debut album didn't arrive until early 2008.

Spanning the globe to infiltrate the world’s most dangerous black markets and using high tech tactics to document the link between carbon emissions and species extinction, RACING EXTINCTION reveals stunning, never-before seen images that truly change the way we see the world. Long Synopsis Scientists predict that humanity’s footprint on the planet may cause the loss of 50% of all species by the end of the century. They believe we have entered the sixth major extinction in Earth’s history, following the fifth great extinction which took out the dinosaurs. Our era is called the Anthropocene, or “Age of Man,” because evidence shows that humanity has sparked a cataclysmic change of the world’s natural environment and animal life.

    Punk poet and 'Basketball Diaries' author Jim Carroll dies | News... 1 of 4 NME.COM First For Music News NME News Punk poet and 'Basketball Diaries' author Jim Carroll dies Patti Smith, Vampire Weekend's Ezra Koenig pay tribute September 14, 2009 | 0 Comments More NME news, reviews, videos and tour dates New York punk poet, musician and author Jim Carroll has died of a heart attack, aged 60. Carroll, who wrote 'The Basketball Diaries', died on Friday (September 11) at his Manhattan home, his former wife Rosemary Carroll confirmed. A heroin addict at 13, Carroll documented his teenage years in 'The Basketball Diaries', which was originally published in 1978 and turned into a film starring Leonardo DiCaprio in 1995. As well as being revered as a writer, Carroll was embraced by the late 1970s New York punk scene, becoming a punk poet and starting his own band (The Jim Carroll Band) at the behest of Patti Smith. The Rolling Stones' Keith Richards was also a fan, orchestrating the band a three-album deal with Atlantic Records. The Jim Carroll Band's most famous song, 'People Who Died' – which you can watch by scrolling down now – was used in Steven Spielberg's film 'E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial'.

Thirteen Hours Inside Pharrell Williams’s Relentless Pop- Culture Machine BY DEVIN FRIEDMAN 10:57 a.m. Uniqlo, West Hollywood WHEN PHARRELL arrives, it’s as if in a bubble. Like Glenda, the Good Witch of the North. Starbucks in one hand, two Asian-American women assistants trailing in his wake, a Chanel scarf waving from his back pocket. Uniqlo has closed this store, in the Beverly Center, for an event: About thirty homeless kids have been given a shopping spree. Pharrell Williams, who of course collaborates on a clothing line with Uniqlo, is the surprise guest. He takes a picture with a girl in a her royal smurfness T-shirt and checks out jeans with a kid in a Lakers jersey. Truth be told, a lot of these kids don’t seem to know who he is. Most 7-year-olds don’t even know what a celebrity is. They don’t know that this is the man who, not long ago, was responsible for 43 percent of songs played on the radio in a single month; they probably don’t watch The Voice, where Pharrell is a celebrity “coach”; they don’t listen to “Blurred Lines” and know, hey, the genius behind that song wasn’t Robin Thicke, it was longtime super-producer and current pop star Pharrell Williams; and they don’t know that his 2014 album, Girl, is up for an album- of-the-year Grammy.

  • Beyoncé's Lemonade Collaborator Melo-X Gives First Interview on Making of the Album.” Pitchfork, 25 Apr

Introduction 3 2. Methodology 4 3. Beyonce's Lemonade (2016) 5 3.1 Denial: “Hold Up” 6 3.2 Accountability: “Daddy Lessons” 12 3.3 Hope: “Freedom” 21 3.4 Formation 33 4. Conclusion 44 5. Works Cited 46 Appendix 49 Abstract Beyoncé’s latest album has become an instant social phenomenon worldwide. Given its innovative poetic, visual, musical and socio-politic impact, the famous and controversial African American singer has taken an untraveled road—both personal and professional. The purpose of this essay is to provide a close reading of the poetry, music, lyrics and visuals in four sections from Beyoncé’s critically acclaimed Lemonade (2016). To this end, I have chosen what I believe are the most representative sections of Lemonade together with their respective songs. Thus, I focus on the song “Hold Up” from Denial; “Daddy Lessons” from Accountability, “Freedom” from Hope, and “Formation,” where Beyoncé addresses topics such as infidelity, racism, women’s representation, and racism and inequality. I analyse these topics through a close-reading and interpretation of Warsan Shire’s poetry (a source of inspiration), as well as Beyoncé’s own music, lyrics, and imagery. From this analysis, it is safe to say that Lemonade is a relevant work of art that will perdure in time, since it highlights positive representations of African-Americans, at the same time Beyoncé critically denounces the current racial unrest lived in the USA.

    FKP Scorpio Konzertproduktionen GmbH Große Elbstr. 277 a ∙ 22767 Hamburg Tel. (040) 853 88 888 ∙ www.fkpscorpio.com PRESSEMITTEILUNG 15.07.2019 Vampire Weekend spielen eine exklusive Show in Köln Im Mai erschien nach sechs Jahren Wartezeit mit „Father Of The Bride“ das vierte Album von Vampire Weekend. Die Crew aus New York hat sich also wieder einmal viel Zeit gelassen. Was dieses Mal nicht zuletzt daran lag, dass der Multiinstrumentalist, Produzent und Co- Songwriter Rostam Batmanglij, der den Sound der Band entscheidend mitbestimmt hatte, vor drei Jahren die Band verlassen hat und der Rest erst einmal die neue Richtung festlegen musste. Jetzt aber sind Vampire Weekend zurück, gewandelt und stärker denn je. Die Entscheidung, die Vocals auf verschiedene Sänger zu verteilen – darunter Danielle Haim und Steve Lacy von The Internet –, sorgt für eine größere Klangvielfalt, und auch das Sound-Spektrum der Produktion ist deutlich breiter geworden. Noch immer stehen häufig die fröhlichen Afro-Pop-Gitarren und -Rhythmen im Mittelpunkt der Songs, aber sie sind längst nicht mehr so dominierend wie zuvor. Während also die Kernband zum Trio geschrumpft ist mit Sänger und Gitarrist Ezra Koenig, Bassist Chris Baio und Chris Tomson am Schlagzeug, sorgen die neuen Tour-Mitglieder auf der Bühne für ordentlich Druck. Insbesondere Greta Morgan, die mit Keyboard, Gitarre, Percussion und Background-Gesang Rostam zumindest teilweise vergessen lässt, und Gitarrist Brian Robert Jones geben der Musik ordentlich Sunflowerpower. A propos „Sunflower“: Gerade dieser Song, von dem selbst Frontmann Koenig bestätigt, dass Phish hier Pate stand, ist ein perfektes Beispiel für die neuen Vampire Weekend. Mit mehrstimmigen Zusammenspiel von zwei Gitarren, dem melodiösen, aber textlosen Vocals-Einsatz, den Tempowechseln und der Vollgas- Rhythmusgruppe ist es bereits zu einem neuen Highlight der Bühnenshow geworden und könnte sogar dem seit jeher beliebten „A-Punk“ zur Konkurrenz erwachsen.

  • Netflix Reveals Anime Series €˜Neo Yokio’ from Ezra Koenig
    Netflix Reveals Anime Series ‘Neo Yokio’ From Ezra Koenig 09.07.2017 Netflix describes its new animated series Neo Yokio as "a postmodern collage of homages to classic anime, English literature and modern New York fashion and culture." It stars the voice of Jaden Smith as the lovesick Kaz Kaan, the youngest member of a family of "magistocrats" - pink-haired demon slayers who once liberated the city. Today, his demon-slaying is barely more than a side-hustle coordinated by his Aunt Agatha (Susan Sarandon). Kaz himself would rather concern himself with shopping, field hockey and mending his broken heart. Always by Kaz's side are his faithful mecha-butler, Charles (Jude Law), and his inseparable friends Lexy and Gottlieb (The Kid Mero and Desus Nice) as he navigates the complexities of life in Neo Yokio and tries to stay one step ahead of his arch-rival, Neo Yokio's number one most eligible bachelor, Arcangelo Corelli (Jason Schwartzman.) Things take a mysterious turn when Kaz is drawn into the turbulent world of ex-fashion blogger Helena St. Tessero (Tavi Gevinson), setting in motion a sequence of events that force him to question everything he knows about Neo Yokio. Other voice actors include Richard Ayoade, Ike Barinholtz, Steve Buscemi, Alexa Chung, Stephen Fry, Katy Mixon, Annet Mahendru, Kiernan Shipka, Willow Smith and Amandla Stenberg. The series is from creator, writer and executive producer Ezra Koenig (Vampire Weekend), writer/executive producer Nick Weidenfeld and his Friends Night banner. It's a collaboration with Japanese anime studios Production IG and Studio Deen, along with Seoul-based animation studio MOI.

  • Jake Longstreth Is the Renaissance Dude America Needs by Caitlin White
    December 7, 2020 Jake Longstreth Is the Renaissance Dude America Needs By Caitlin White Writing the best song about bad margaritas is only the start for the acclaimed painter and co-host of “Time Crisis” The best thing about Ezra Koenig, host of the cult-favorite internet radio show Time Crisis, is that he treats every cultural artifact that comes across his desk with the same care. The best thing about the show’s other host, Jake Longstreth, is that he absolutely does not. Founded in 2015 by Koenig, who is also the frontman of the popular indie rock band Vampire Weekend, Time Crisis currently airs every two weeks on Apple Music. In the five years since its inception, the show has grown considerably, including the addition of Longstreth, noted humorist and parody expert Jason Richards (aka @Seinfeld2000), and producer Nick Weidenfeld. “Farm Hill Road” oil on canvas 84 x 84, Jake Longstreth With an ever-escalating crew of guests and friends of the show, conversations can stretch to include almost anything, whether it be appearances from experts in Big Candy, like Hershey’s Marketing Director Ryan Riess, who recently guested to dismiss TC conspiracy theories about seasonal Reese’s Cup formulas, to actual musical legends like David Crosby and Bob Weir, or even comedic royalty like Desus Nice and The Kid Mero. Despite the rotating cast of characters, Jake’s role remains singular. Whoever is present, and particularly when no guests are around, the constant push and pull between Ezra and Jake’s dual approaches to pop culture is the core of what makes Time Crisis fascinating — and what makes it so fucking funny.
