A little silly to say about a movie that premiered in competition at Cannes and had the much-desired fall-festival run, but there should’ve been a little more excitement about Last Summer, which deserves much celebration for its own merits but stands all the more notable for being among the best films in the decades-long career of Catherine Breillat, who returned to feature filmmaking ten years after Abuse of Weakness. With the work now allowed to present a bit more on its own––and not as, say, the third viewing on a sleep-deprived day fueled by a Quest bar / Celsius lunch––I suspect its merits are about to really sing, ereceded by Film at Lincoln Center’s essential retrospective with the too-good-to-pass-up title “Carnal Knowledge.”

Ed Ruscha, running late to class one day in 1950, accidentally stiff-armed a glass-panel door at his junior high in Oklahoma City. “My hand went right through that door, all the students looked up, and there I was just dripping with blood,” says Ruscha, sipping a macchiato while seated behind a marble-topped desk in the skylit library of his Culver City studio, a sprawling 9,000-square-foot affair that was previously a movie prop house and before that an aerospace factory for Howard Hughes.
“I had this scar on my wrist for years,” he explains, rolling up the sleeve of an indigo button-down to inspect his left forearm, a rakish smile curling over his lips at the prospect of unearthing some remnants of that lacerating memory. “It’s almost gone by now.”
At 86, Ruscha — widely considered the high priest of the Los Angeles art world — is a bit whiter around the edges and...

For once, the global film festival circuit is in perilous waters while Los Angeles — the city that Hollywood built, but can’t seem to retain a film festival — is hosting a vital resurgence of year-round screening series and niche festivals created in pursuit of love, not money.
This weekend (April 4-7) brings the inaugural Los Angeles Festival of Movies (Lafm), operating in three venues far east of the 405: Eagle Rock’s Vidiots, Filipinotown’s 2220 Arts + Archives, and Chinatown’s Now Instant Image Hall.
The LA cinephile scene is meanwhile thriving elsewhere, too. American Cinematheque returned to its gorgeously refurbished Egyptian Theatre in November and just announced a new documentary film festival, This Is Not a Fiction, to usher in its 40th anniversary. Plus, Quentin Tarantino’s emblematic, century-old, single-screen Vista Theater reopened, playing new releases like “The Zone of Interest” and “Dune: Part Two” as well as 35mm and...

Kim Gordon stopped by Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Wednesday to perform “Bye Bye” from her recent solo album The Collective. Watch the performance below.
The Collective arrived last month as Gordon’s second solo effort, following 2019’s No Home Record. As previewed by singles “Bye Bye” and “I’m a Man,” the record incorporated trap and hip-hop elements into Gordon’s already experimental style. Featuring production from Justin Raisen, the album houses a “beat-driven sound that exudes dark energy but feels inviting at the same time,” as Consequence’s own Sun Noor wrote for the record’s inclusion in our Staff Picks roundup for March.

Kim Gordon stopped by Jimmy Kimmel Live to perform her recent single, “Bye Bye.” Appearing with a live band, Gordon tore through the fuzzed out, synth-laden track with moody fervor.
“Bye Bye” comes off the former Sonic Youth musician’s second solo LP, The Collective, which dropped in March. The album was produced by Justin Raisen with help from Anthony Paul Lopez, and follows Gordon’s 2019 debut solo LP, No Home Record, which featured the songs “Murdered Out,” “AirBnB,” and “Don’t Play It.”

Kim Gordon is at the height of her powers right now, making music that’s both noisy and liberating, and unremittingly challenging any expectations that listeners still have for her. That sentence could have been written at various points in the 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s, when she was pushing boundaries as a founding member of Sonic Youth — but it feels especially true right here in the 2020s, after the release this spring of her sol0 tour-de-force The Collective. On March 23, Gordon played the Knockdown Center in Queens, New York, and...

Indie icon Kim Gordon, whose excellent solo album “The Collective” dropped last week, is this month’s featured film curator for Galerie, the new online film club launched by Indian Paintbrush. Below, Gordon shares a deeply personal curation of eight films that influence and reflect audio, visual art, and personal style. While best known as a musician and cofounding member of Sonic Youth, Gordon’s art has long stretched into multiple other disciplines, with film being just one.
“Morvern Callar,” dir. Lynne Ramsay, 2002
I love the way Lynne Ramsay uses sound dynamics. In this movie the music is like another character. The mixtape that her dead boyfriend made and left for her (saying “Keep the music to yourself”) becomes a thread throughout the film. He is the music — it not only keeps him alive for her but replaces him.

Kim Gordon has revealed her new sophomore solo album, The Collective. Stream it below.
Featuring icy, industrial, and hip-hop centric sonics, Kim Gordon narrates the scenes of The Collective with a stream-of-consciousness, collage-esque lyrical style. The album was produced by Justin Raisen, who has worked extensively with Lil Yachty, Yves Tumor, and Angel Olsen, and produced Gordon’s last album, 2019’s No Home Record.
The Sonic Youth co-founder previewed The Collective earlier this year with the laundry-list lead single “Bye Bye,” which we named as a “fucking banger” in our Song of the Week column, and the toxic masculinity-skewering “I’m a Man.” She also shared the noisy, mantra-heavy “Psychedelic Orgasm” this week. Stream Kim Gordon’s The Collective below.

Listen closely: On “Principles,” the jarring penultimate track of Kim Gordon’s new solo album, The Collective, are the words she’s wailing “an actress of life”? Or is that last word “light” or “lies” or “live” or something else? The line transmits differently if you listen to it on a big stereo, expensive headphones, a beach speaker, shitty AirPods, and shittier iPhone speakers, since she’s buried it so deeply in atmospheric reverb and industrial clanging. You gotta open up your earholes. With vocals mixed so opaquely, listening to...

Demi Moore poses with two of her daughters – Rumer and Scout – while stepping out for the opening celebration of the The Frankie Shop x Crosby Studios LA pop-up installation on Friday (February 23) in Los Angeles.
The 61-year-old actress was also seen posing with Crosby Studios founder Harry Nuriev at the event, which features the installation “The Meeting Room.”
Also in attendance at the opening were Gabrielle Union, Alexandra Shipp, Dree Hemingway, Zelda Williams, Rainey Qualley, Josephine Skriver, Olivia Thirlby, Andrew Matarazzo, Marta Pozzan, Olivia Welch, Langley Fox and Kim Gordon.
The exhibit draws “inspiration from the powerful women of the post office age,” and “envisions a space that pays tribute to this bygone era. Capturing the moment before movers take away old office items, the installation features stacks of binders, monitors, office chairs, and a broken printer set against water coolers and fragmented walls.”

Kim Gordon has shared “I’m a Man,” the latest single from her forthcoming album, The Collective.
With dissonant guitars, waves of crushing sound, and a skittering hip-hop beat courtesy of producer Justin Raisen, Kim Gordon takes aim at masculine identity on “I’m a Man.” She repeats the song’s titular claim throughout, describing a man’s psychological perspective and defense mechanisms. “It’s not my fault/ I’m not bringing home the juice/ I’m not bringing home the bacon,” she mutters, later asking “So what if I like a big truck/ Giddy up, giddy up/ Don’t call me toxic/ Just because I like a little butt.”
And yet, similar to her last single “Bye Bye,” Gordon begins to dismantle some of these ideas as she goes along. “I’d like to shave my beard just so/ Manicure my nails/ Put on a skirt/ But at the...

Kim Gordon is prepping her second solo album. On Tuesday, the former Sonic Youth vocalist released her solo track “Bye Bye” as she announced that she’ll release her second LP, The Collective, on March 8.
“I’ve been waiting so long to share this song and video with you all. It was made with love and fun,” Gordon said on Instagram Tuesday. “I hope you like it. Love Kim.”

Kim Gordon has announced her second solo studio album. The Collective is out on March 8th via Matador, and the Sonic Youth musician is celebrating the news with the lead single “Bye Bye” as well as a batch of 2024 tour dates.
Gordon’s follow-up to her 2019 debut No Home Record brought her back to producer Justin Raisen, whose knack for dub and hip-hop leaning beats intermingle with Gordon’s best-in-class rock songwriting.
Those colliding genres are especially evident on the rumbling, ear-splitting “Bye Bye.” You would probably never guess it was a Kim Gordon song until her droning voice comes in, rattling off what sounds like her to-do list before a big trip: “Buy a suitcase, take pants to the cleaner,” she raps. “Call the vet, call the groomer/ Call the dog sitter.”
Before long, roaring guitars come in, almost as if signaling anxiety about travel — or something more sinister.

Keanu Reeves has opened up about his admiration for Interpol and Kim Gordon in the latest episode of Amoeba Records’ “What’s in My Bag?” YouTube series.
Reeves’ band Dogstar — which recently reunited for the first time in two decades with their album Somewhere Between the Power Lines and Palm Trees — perused the Hollywood, California record store for vinyl of their choice, and broke down their picks.
The bassist-actor’s first vinyl was a massive special edition of Richard Wagner’s Der Ring des Nibelungen, as performed by the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra. “One of the joys of going to a record store is discovery, but also like there’s things in life… Aren’t there things in life you’ve heard about but never experienced?” beamed Reeves.
His second pick was Interpol’s 2022 LP. “Big fan of this band, Interpol,” Reeves said, while flipping the vinyl to admire its artwork.

Catherine Breillat on Léa Drucker in Last Summer (L’Été Dernier) and Alfred Hitchcock’s heroine wardrobe: “I said to Léa, think about Vertigo and Kim Novak! But then I think she is more Tippi Hedren.”
Catherine Breillat’s Last Summer stars Léa Drucker and Samuel Kircher with Olivier Rabourdin, Clotilde Courau, Serena Hu, and Angela Chen. The film is based on May el-Toukhy’s 2019 Queen of Hearts, starring Trine Dyrholm, Gustav Lindh, and Magnus Krepper. Last Summer shares a theme with the NYFF Opening Night Gala selection, Todd Haynes’s May December, where a reversal of age also takes central stage.

Wet Leg, Jason Isbell, Tegan and Sara, and more have contributed to Noise for Now: Vol. 1, an upcoming compilation album benefitting abortion access. It arrives on November 24th as part of Record Store Day 2023.
Noise for Now is also the name of the non-profit that helmed the compilation, and their work has become even more pertinent since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in June 2022. The organization launched their eponymous record label to release their first album, which also features exclusive songs from Sleater-Kinney, My Morning Jacket, Fleet Foxes, Cat Power, and more.
Many of these songs were also featured on Good Music to Ensure Safe Abortion Access to All, another benefit compilation from 2022 that was only available as a Bandcamp download for one day. Noise for Now: Vol. 1, however, will be a vinyl-only release, pressed on clear wax and packaged with a “Liberate Abortion” print by Sonic Youth’s Kim Gordon.

Thurston Moore has opened up on the possibility of a Sonic Youth reunion, stating that it’s “something that’s always going to be on the table.”
The revelation comes in a new interview from Moore with The New York Times, regarding his forthcoming memoir, Sonic Life. When asked about the possibility of Sonic Youth getting back together, he didn’t seem thrilled with the prospect, but didn’t discount it entirely either.
“Everybody wants us to get back together,” he said. “I don’t foresee it happening because I think maybe it’s a little too unwieldy at this point.” Continuing, he explained that he’d “rather be like the Beatles and never get back together,” as he sees reunions as “a really typical and expected thing to do… that goes against the nature of what the band was.”

Having already proven their bona fides with both 1986’s Evol and 1987’s Sister, Sonic Youth delivered their most cohesive, accessible album to date with their 1988 opus Daydream Nation. Originally inspired by the ferocity of hardcore punk, the cerebral art rock of acts like the Velvet Underground and Public Image Ltd., and the avant-garde compositions of Glenn Branca, the album saw the four New York bohos sweeten their no-wave edge with anthemic songwriting.
Thurston Moore and Lee Ranaldo’s detuned guitars strum plaintively and hypnotically as Daydream Nation slowly shakes itself awake on “Teen Age Riot.” Bassist-singer Kim Gordon channels the Stooges’s eerie chants on 1969’s “We Will Fall” and even cribs from its lyrics: “Spirit, desire/We will fall,” she mumbles before the song’s dual-guitar riff tears the track apart.

It seems like distant memory, a relic of a bygone era, but “punk cred” was once currency in certain corners of rock culture. To be perceived as inauthentic, cynical, or ambitious meant losing stock with a sizable chunk of the music press as well as your peers, and few bands felt the brunt of that as much as the Smashing Pumpkins. Indie icons from Stephen Malkmus to fellow Chicagoan Steve Albini criticized the band in songs and interviews, and even as recently as 2015, Kim Gordon called the group “in no way punk rock” in her memoir Girl in a Band.
Led by the mercurial Billy Corgan—or William Patrick Corgan, as he’s preferred in recent years—the Pumpkins started as a mopey goth band but gradually addended their love of the Cure and New Order with Black Sabbath-inspired riffs and psychedelic guitar. Their debut, 1991’s Gish, boasted bombastic production...

We’ve all made the “Cop Rock” jokes. The Steven Bochco musical drama, which premiered in fall 1990, was a big swing: marrying original music with procedural storytelling. It was a colossal flop that we still talk about three decades later, and a reminder that musicals are hard.
Music has been a part of the TV landscape going back to the 1950s and shows like “Your Hit Parade.” But few series have successfully integrated regular music performances into their storytelling: “The Monkees” and “The Partridge Family” worked in the 1960s and ’70s. “Fame” did it in the early ’80s. And then “Cop Rock” scared people off the concept.
The 1990s animation boom incorporated music in shows like “The Simpsons” and “Animaniacs.” But not until the 21st century did scripted series really figure out how to make musical numbers work as part of the narrative. “Flight of the Conchords” did it with satiric tracks,...

Sonic Youth will release a remixed and remastered LP of their final US performance, titled Live in Brooklyn 2011, on August 18th via Silver Current Records and digitally on Goofin’.
The 2xLP, 2xCD, or 2xTape collection follows a 2020 archival release that included the 2011 East River waterfront performance, or “The Last Show” as it came to be known by fans. Though the band subsequently toured South America before confirming their dissolution in November that year, the New York event served as a fitting conclusion with the group’s hometown connections and surprising, career-spanning set. Pre-orders are ongoing.
In a statement, drummer Steve Shelley shared, “For the Williamsburg Waterfront show I wrote out the setlist to present to the band and it was a lot of material we hadn’t played in a while, a lot of deep cuts, so I wasn’t sure if everybody would feel like doing it. After worrying...

San Francisco Pride Parade Drops Dee Snider After He Supports Paul Stanley’s “Transphobic Statement”
The San Francisco Pride Parade & Celebration is distancing itself from Twisted Sister frontman Dee Snider after he supported a statement condemning sex reassignment for children made by Kiss singer-guitarist Paul Stanley.
Sf Pride planned on using Twisted Sister’s rebellious anthem “We’re Not Gonna Take It” as an unofficial rallying cry and have Snider perform the song on its center stage. Those plans were nixed after Snider voiced his support for Stanley’s declaration that “normalizing” sex reassignment for children is a “sad and dangerous fad.”
Snider — a longtime supporter of LGBTQ+ rights — tweeted in defense of Stanley’s statement: “You know what? There was a time where I ‘felt pretty’ too. Glad my parents didn’t jump to any rash conclusions! Well said, @PaulStanleyLive.”
That remark didn’t go over well with Sf Pride, which released a statement on its website admonishing Snider’s tweet and stating that...

Sam Claflin is the first to admit that when he got the part of Billy Dunne, the co-lead singer of a world-famous 1970s rock band in ”Daisy Jones & the Six”, he was no musician.
Claflin was the last person cast. His co-stars had already begun rehearsing at a band camp where the actors learned to play their designated instruments and perform original songs written for the show.
“They said, ‘Ok, there’s about 15 songs you’re going to need to learn. Oh, and can you play guitar?’” Claflin recounted. “I didn’t play guitar and I barely had sung. I never recorded anything. It was quite an immediate shock of terror and fear and pressure.”

“This doesn’t feel like a normal fashion event,” Maggie Rogers said after landing in the lobby just before 8 p.m. on Thursday to attend Celine at The Wiltern, Hedi Slimane’s runway presentation for the French fashion house’s winter ’23 collection. “What I’m so excited for tonight is that being at The Wiltern feels incredibly creative and it has the ability to catch someone off guard. That’s when people get creative, when they can sense creativity in the air and be surprised.”
Rogers was right — this was not an average fashion function. From the moment Celine announced it would be presenting in L.A. by taking over the marquee at the iconic venue on the corner of Western and Wilshire, fashion insiders were buzzing about the spectacle to come.
Slimane, who called L.A. home for years, had not presented...

Neil Druckmann gestures toward his giant comic book collection. “That’s something Ellie would appreciate,” says the co-president of video game developer Naughty Dog, name-checking the female lead in The Last of Us. He’ll see the character come to life starting Jan. 15, when she’s portrayed by Bella Ramsey in the upcoming HBO series adaptation of the popular PlayStation 3 title Druckmann conceived and wrote.
The nine-episode show also stars Pedro Pascal as Joel, the smuggler who shepherds her across a postapocalyptic United States. “My hope is that it completely changes how non-gamers view what games are capable of when it comes to deep narratives,” says Israel-born Druckmann, the show’s co-writer and a director and executive producer.
He’s sitting in the TV room of his four-bedroom, five-bathroom Santa Monica residence, a contemporary two-story he purchased in 2019 that reflects his rich inner life and vivid imagination.

Stars at Noon (2022).For any true connoisseur of modern poésie maudit, the prospect of Claire Denis adapting Denis Johnson comes with its own ineluctable gravity. The union of these two artists—Johnson, the late visionary poet and novelist, Denis the dark romantic-turned-French art house institution—affirms their long-apparent, subterranean resonances. Both have labored at the edges of their tradition in pursuit of its particular truth; both have elevated the lives of drifters and criminals to the station of saints. In recent years, even in her mellow late style, Denis still retains a coiled viper’s intensity and, with 2018’s High Life, she settled any doubts that a genuine star vehicle—let alone one shot entirely in her second language, English—could support her sensuous, elliptical filmmaking. Johnson, despite his cult following, has only been adapted for the screen once before, to mixed results.Denis's choice of material is characteristically heterodox.

“Debt Collector,” with its crashing drums and gnarled, industrial synths, packs a brutal instrumental punch that pairs perfectly with Gordon’s quintessential disaffected vocal delivery. “You’re not welcome/To the gated community,” Gordon says, “We...
