September 5th, 2014 Sam Cohen Film: The Longest Week Starring: Jason Bateman, Billy Crudup Directed by: Peter Glanz While watching this oft-times lifeless tale about the bourgeoisie never growing up, I imagined a universe in which Wes Anderson and author Jonathan Ames may have met and collaborated.

July 7th, 2014 Corey From I’ll skip to the chase, and avoid the whole rant about Zach Braff making perfect movies and arranging perfect soundtracks. This is all stuff you should know by now. After hearing The Shins’ original track for Wish I Was Here, “So Now What,” and Bon Iver’s “Heavenly Father,” you can expect that an interesting collaboration […]
Listen to Bon Iver’s First New Song in 3 Years
June 30th, 2014 Nina Corcoran Considering Justin Vernon certainly has not vanished from the music scene for a single year following Bon Iver‘s 2008 debut (which could technically be said for up to a decade predating that as well), it may come as a surprise that he hasn’t actually put out a track with Bon Iver in three years.
