Under the Radar

Watch: John Carpenter - “Utopian Façade” Video

Iconic horror film director John Carpenter released Lost Themes II back in April via Sacred Bones, a sequel to his 2015-released Lost Themes album. Now he has shared a video for "Utopian Façade." Befitting the director, it features a female android in a TRONmeets Storm Trooper type outfit on the run from some zombies and other monsters.

Watch: New Order - “People on the High Line” Video

Last September New Order released Music Complete, their excellent first studio album in a decade, their first for their new label Mute, and the first not to feature founding member Peter Hook (but it saw the return of founding member Gillian Gilbert).

Listen: Temples Share New Song - “Certainty”

British psychedelic pop quartet Temples released their promising debut album, Sun Structures, back in 2014. Now the band has shared a brand new song, "Certainty," which is the first taste of their sophomore album and sits more on the pop side of their psych pop equation.

Remember Us to Life

For die-hard fans, it has been four long years since the release of What We Saw from the Cheap Seats, Regina Spektor's sixth and most recent studio album. (Catchy as her intro to Orange is the New Black might be, it just doesn't fill the void that a new album from the Soviet-born singer/songwriter does.)

Starving the Beast

The snarl of James Carville to open Starving the Beast, as he addresses his alma mater of Louisiana State University, frames the appropriate degree of impassioned opposition to the commoditization of America’s public higher educational institutions.

Valley of the Dolls & Beyond the Valley of the Dolls

In certain cinephile circles, the reputation of Mark Robson’s Valley of the Dolls, based on the novel by Jacqueline Susann, precedes itself.

Bob’s Burgers (Season 7, Episode 1: “Flu-ouise”)

As season seven (!) of the most warm-hearted comedy on TV begins, the writers drift from what makes the show so good (its relationships between the Belcher family and the secondary characters) and toward a more Simpsons-y gag of a literal fever dream. But because the writing team is so good, "Flu-ouise" still sings—and quite literally.

Check Out a Gallery of Photos of Lush at Their Washington DC 9:30 Club Show on Wednesday

1990s shoegaze legends Lush recently reformed and released a great new EP, Blind Spot, in April. This year the band have also been playing their first U.S. shows in 20 years.
