Midwestern trio Salem is a gothy/witch-house/dream-crunk/drag-step/crack-core Michael Stipe-endorsed post-juke band from no place in particular. Basically, they’ve become one of those bands that can be whatever you want them to be; the notion of what exactly Salem is threatens to engulf what Salem’s music actually sounds like. Listening to them is a total trip. Read more about the band in the XLR8R September/October Salem cover story:http://www.xlr8r.com/features/2010/09/midnight-mass-bewitching-midwest

Does true love exist? Director Mark Pellington (“Henry Poole Is Here,” “Arlington Road”, U2′s “One”, Pearl Jam’s “Jeremy”) who recently shot the Band of Horses video for “Laredo” ponders the question in this really moving little short called “Infinite Arms”.
The people you see in the film are all locals from the area where they had been simultaneously shooting “Laredo” and they open up on camera about “love, in whatever form… pain, forgiveness, survival,” there in the desert.

Back in 2005, Dave Eggers and Brent Hoff of McSweeney’s created Wholphin, a quarterly DVD magazine which showcases a selection of short films, documentaries, cartoons and videos which have had little or no exposure elsewhere.

Feeling Today is Spencer Stephenson’s debut release under the Botany moniker. The culmination of years of assembling music, this EP, and his forthcoming full-length, flow with a transcendental radiance. Under the gauzy patina of decades-old samples, this Texan sound-sculptor masterfully merges the past and the present, the earthly and the infinite.
Spencer recalls recording a casio keyboard onto cassette-tape at the age of 4, and becoming hooked on the simple idea that he could capture sounds and share them with those
When We Are Animal put their album together earlier this year little did they know that it would be picked up by Japanese label Art Union. Add to this a distribution deal with Cargo and we now have an official UK release date for their exhilarating debut.

We Are Animal are self releasing “Black Magic”, the follow up to their Beggars released debut single ’1268′ on the 13th September. ‘Black Magic’ is a raw as hell beast of a track which is set to continue their climb to notoriety.
