Oh, Bela Tarr. The works of this Hungarian filmmaker never fails to please. In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s tapped soon for a huge tent pole project like The Avengers 2 or the inevitable Die Hard 6. Sarcasm aside, the teaser trailer for The Turin Horse – the newest from The Man From London director – is 45 seconds of an old lamp. That’s it. A little wind, a little music, and a lot of lamp….

Hey, kids! Remember Zaireeka , the four-disc magnum opus from the Flaming Lips that featured one album’s worth of music divided amongst its four CDs? You had to play the four CDs simultaneously to be able to hear the entire album as it was intended, or you were missing out. Well, the Lips took that same idea and turned it around for the digital age today. Their new track, “Two Blobs Fucking,” is divided… Broadcasting platform : YouTube Source : prefixmag Discovery Date : 14/02/2011 20:14 Number of articles : 2

Eyedea Died Of Accidental Drug Overdose

Late Minnesota indie rapper was half of the group Eyedea & Abilities. By Gil Kaufman Eyedea Photo: flickr.com/theotherchristianlundberg A month after his shocking death, the Ramsey County, Minnesota, medical examiner’s office has reported that indie rapper Mike “Eyedea” Larsen died of a drug overdose. According to the Minneapolis Star-Tribune, the cause of death for St. Paul native Larsen was “opiate toxicity,” with no specific drugs mentioned as contributing factors. The overdose was ruled accidental. The day after her son’s death, Larsen’s mother, Kathy Averill, said Eyedea did not suffer from any addictions. Eyedea, half of the popular underground hip-hop duo Eyedea & Abilities, was remembered at a public service in St. Paul on October 28 that was attended by more than 2,000 people. A sold-out musical tribute to the rapper at Minneapolis’ First Avenue club took place November 9, which would have been Eyedea’s 29th birthday. Among the friends who performed at the show were fellow Twin Cities MCs Slug and Carnage and longtime collaborator Kristoff Krane, Aesop Rock, Doseone, DJ Abilities and former Moldy Peaches member Kimya Dawson. The Minneapolis City Pages reported that the show was full of emotional tributes, including a touching one from Alexei and Channy Moon Casselle of the group Roma di Luna. They performed a duet of Bob Dylan’s “He Was a Friend of Mine,” and before leaving the stage, Alexei “cleared his throat and spoke into the microphone, fighting back tears. ‘The last time I saw Mikey, we were working on a new song together. At one point, he sat down on the couch, picked up a guitar, and started playing this song,’ ” Alexei said. The couple then played a cover of the Flaming Lips’ “Do You Realize?” that brought tears to more than a few eyes in the crowd. “It was one of the saddest, most beautiful moments I’ve ever witnessed at a live show,” wrote the reviewer.

One Dead, More Than 100 Arrested At Bonnaroo

29-year-old David Sloan appeared to die from heat exhaustion. By Gil Kaufman Fans at Bonnaroo on Sunday Photo: Jeff Gentner/ Getty Images A 29-year-old man, North Carolina’s David Sloan, died on Sunday (June 13) after falling ill at the Bonnaroo festival in Manchester, Tennessee. According to the Tullahoma News and Guardian , officials believe that Sloan was overcome by heat , which caused him to collapse early Sunday morning in front of medical personnel after his core body temperature reached 108 degrees. Sloane was rushed to an area hospital, where he later died. The Tennessean reported that, with temperatures in the low to mid-90s and a heat index over 100 degrees for much of the weekend, air-conditioned medical tents were treating about 25 percent more concertgoers than in years past. As of noon on Saturday, more than two dozen fans had been transported to area hospitals for heat-related emergencies or other injuries that couldn’t be treated on site. The festival, which featured sets from Jay-Z, the Dave Matthews Band, Stevie Wonder, Conan O’Brien, the Flaming Lips, Kings of Leon, Weezer and Kid Cudi — who jetted to the site just hours after his arrest for criminal mischief and possession of a controlled substance — also saw a fairly typical number of arrests. More than 50 people were arrested for drug-related charges and disorderly behavior, with local officials expecting the total citations to reach more than 200 by the end of the festival’s ninth year. Among the arrests, according to WBIR News, was a sting on wanted felon Sytanya Darren Fells , who was arrested for possession of “synthetic marijuana” during a traffic stop Friday night. Fells was in a camper traveling on on one of the congested highways into the festival when police pulled the vehicle over and found the driver, Larry Thurber, in possession of 38 Xanax pills and “Mojo,” a synthetic herbal incense that mimics the effects of pot. WSB reported that the local sheriff’s office had begun a crackdown on drugs in the days leading up to the event’s Thursday kickoff, issuing more than 100 citations for offenses ranging from possession of marijuana to underage possession of alcohol along the I-75 corridor leading to Manchester. More than 70 Bonnaroo-bound drivers were arrested before the music even started. Related Photos Performances At Bonnaroo 2010

By Kyle Anderson Vampire Weekend Photo: Francois Guillot/ AFP/ Getty Images Even though the terrible winter weather still grips most of the East Coast and the South, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel: Festival season is just around the corner. The Coachella lineup has already been announced (featuring Jay-Z, Muse and Gorillaz), the bands for Bonnaroo have been set (including Weezer, the Flaming Lips, Kings of Leon and Jay-Z again) and rumors are already circulating about the Lollapalooza lineup (Lady Gaga and the reunited Soundgarden are being whispered about). On Monday night, the latest warm-weather festival announced its full slate of bands. The ninth annual Sasquatch festival, held every year at the picturesque Gorge Amphitheatre in George, Washington, revealed its full lineup during a party at Seattle’s Crocodile Caf

Norah Jones, Wale, Flaming Lips, the xx also announced in gradual MySpace reveal. By James Montgomery Weezer’s Rivers Cuomo Photo: Chris Weeks/ WireImage Weezer, the Flaming Lips and Phoenix are among the first batch of artists confirmed for the 2010 Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival, to be held June 10-13 in — as always — Manchester, Tennessee. Artists are being announced in a series of rolling reveals that will continue throughout the day on Bonnaroo’s MySpace page . Tickets for the fest are on sale now through its official site , with a four-day pass running $234.50. An RV pass (if you want to experience the fest in luxury) will cost an extra $150. As in previous years, Bonnaroo is also offering attendees the opportunity to purchase tickets on an installment plan. Other early confirmations for Bonnaroo 2010 are Norah Jones, comedian/ Grammy-winning bluegrass enthusiast Steve Martin (with his Steep Canyon Rangers), Wale, Regina Spektor, John Fogerty, the Avett Brothers, Medeski, Martin and Wood, Ingrid Michaelson, Bassnectar and hotly tipped Brits the xx. The Flaming Lips will be joined by Stardeath and the White Dwarves (the band fronted by Lips’ main man Wayne Coyne’s nephew) and — much like they did in a raucous Oklahoma City New Year’s Eve show — the groups will be performing Pink Floyd’s epic Dark Side of the Moon album. News of Weezer’s confirmation actually leaked earlier in the day, when the band tweeted that they would be performing at the 2010 ‘Roo. Through various online sources, the fest’s other rumored acts include Jay-Z, the Dave Matthews Band and Georgia metallers Baroness. But the only way to get the latest confirmations is to head over to Bonnaroo’s MySpace page, where a new band is being announced every five minutes.
