the raConteurS: ConSolerS
album of the lonely
Another week, another unorthodox big-album release. But there’s
no ‘pay what you like’ for Jack White’s fine retro rockers; their
gimmick is releasing this second album just two weeks after it was
finished – without any promotion. “The Raconteurs would rather
it wasn’t defined for you before you get to hear it.” That told us.
Southland
dvd taleS
Richard ‘Donnie Darko’ Kelly’s
idea for a three-hour sci-fi
comedy about the end of the
world starring ‘The Rock’ and
Sarah Michelle Gellar (below) as
a porn star was never the safest
bet. But while critics panned it to
such an extent that it was re-cut
and then barely
shown at UK
cinemas,
Southland
Tales is a
strangely
appealing
mess of a
movie. A
future cult
classic.
GnarlS Barkley:
album the odd Couple
Soul-pop duo Cee-Lo and Danger Mouse
follow up their massive-selling St Elsewhere
debut with more classic hip-hop-infused
harmonies. It’s a less obvious listen, almost
Tricky-like at times, but the likes of Going On
and Surprise are chart-troublers in waiting.
motel Girl By GreG SanderS
book The stories in this New York-based writer’s colourful collection
capture the transience of the city and the characters that inhabit it.
From drunks to demons to a vengeful motel clerk and a women who
must chose between her boyfriend and her live-in bear, Motel Girl is as
surreal, exciting and absurd a human menagerie as the Big Apple itself.
It’s a strong debut from an important new writer with a glowing future.

roBert ford
Not only does saying it take almost as long as
watching it, the title also gives the ending away, but
don’t let that deter you. Brad Pitt and Casey Affleck
excel in this lushly photographed morality play that
is arguably the best film of 2007 that nobody saw.
