| Sundance 2012: 'Simon Killer' |
| January 1, 2012 |
If his first two features, 2004's Buy It Now and 2008's Afterschool, hinted at anything, it was a peculiar fascination with the anatomy of cyber interactions and the dark underbelly of living your public life... virtually.
Antonio Campos, the director, garnered attention for his razor-sharp cinematic exposes which straddled the sometime disquieting line between reality a.. |

| The Eleven Best Movies of 2011 |
| January 1, 2012 |
| A banner year for mediocrity, 2011 did manage to produce some truly fantastic works of cinema that pushed the boundaries of authenticity, nostalgia, and all the other buzzwords that have come to define this generally indefinable era. Because I view the very notion of the mainstream as inherently meaningless (as if success has come to automatically denote a decline in quality because the mere fact .. |

| Not Another Lana Del Rey Article |
| January 1, 2012 |
| Flavor-of-the-month pop tartlet Lana Del Rey's impeccably groomed public persona is the best prank of 2011, and the joke's on us. Much was made, throughout 2011, of Del Rey's consistent inconsistencies, her metaphorical mask continuously dissected yet never quite fully uncovered. The proverbial bubble Del Rey positioned herself into shot into column mile-generation overdrive on the back of a slim .. |

| Wild Flag - Endless Talk |
| January 5, 2012 |
| 2011 saw the release, into the public domain, of side projects from the entire Sleater-Kinney lineup. Corin Tucker went the heartfelt, acoustic route with the (exquisite, in my opinion) 1,000 Years. At the other end of the indie rock spectrum, Carrie Brownstein and Janet Weiss joined forces with Mary Timony and Recebba Cole to form Wild Flag, whose eponymous debut album made waves both crit.. |

| Youth Lagoon - July |
| January 4, 2011 |
Youth Lagoon's The Year of Hibernation was one of last year's most underrated indie pop gems. To his parents otherwise knows as Trevor Powers, Youth Lagoon crafted a confident collection of reverb-laden, timid pop songs that resonated beyond their modest demeanor.
That trend is maintained on "July", one of Hibernation's standouts, where a hushed beginning eventually crescend.. |

| The Crying Game |
| June 15, 2011 |
| Suffering for one’s art is an enduring cliché in the world of art. So much so that that the adjectives “tortured” and “tormented” often precede the word “artist” in numerous settings. This broad assessment of the creative type can be attributed to the great emotionality necessary for producing a great work of art. However, emotions do not have a physical presence and rely on the per.. |
