John McGeoch: The Light Pours Out Of Me is an upcoming documentary that will explore the life of a post-punk guitar legend.
Velvet Joy Productions is crowdfunding a new, feature-length documentary about Scottish guitarist John McGeoch. He worked closely with Howard Devoto, Siouxsie Sioux and John Lydon and inspired a whole new generation of artists, such as Johnny Marr, Jonny Greenwood, James Dean Bradfield and John Frusciante.
The documentary, which is titled John McGeoch: The Light Pours Out Of Me, is described as “a film about loss, contextualised by a daughter who lost her father and also framed within a narrative about a super talented maverick musician whose work is not – but should be – widely known.”
McGeoch struggled with his mental health and passed away in 2004, aged 48. The guitarist quit the music industry in order to spend more time with his family and qualified as a nurse, dedicating his life to help others,...

To start the new year right: classic English punk and a shot of what’s next; the definitive account of the greatest British white-r&B band of the Sixties that you still don’t know; and experimental vigor from Norway, vintage and immediate.
The Buzzcocks, Another Music in a Different Kitchen; Love Bites (Domino)
The latest CD-and-vinyl iterations of the Buzzcocks’ first two albums didn’t arrive in time for their 40th-anniversary deadline. By cruel coincidence, these newly remastered English-punk landmarks — originally issued in rapid-fire sequence in March and September...

Spill a drink and smash the glass for the late, great Pete Shelley of the Buzzcocks, one of the most humane, compassionate, emotionally raw songwriters punk rock ever coughed up, not to mention the funniest. He twisted all the gender codes of rock & roll, casually shrugging off the masculine clichés punk inherited, pouring his heart out into three-minute vignettes. “Ever Fallen In Love,” “Get on Our Own,” “What Do I Get?,” “I Don’t Know What to Do With My Life” — these songs were emotionally urgent enough to make his peers sound like drooling cartoons.

Earlier in the year, we thought it would be a nice idea to collate our very own online Top Ten films of all time to complement the Sight and Sound poll. We asked the online movie community to participate and got some fabulous responses.If you missed it, you can see the results of our very own poll right here. To follow up, we wanted to compile a similar list for the films released in 2012. Some of the results were predicable with others very much not so.
Below is a list of movies collated from 88 different movie blogging and journalist sources which we’ve compiled together to bring you the definitive top ten of 2012. If you have a favourite journalist of blogger, scroll down to see each individuals list of movie top top 10 (in no particular order). These lists were then combined to bring out the ultimate top ten.

First things first. This list hasn’t been compiled as some comparative list of the greatest singers and front men that I, you or anyone will ever come across. No, far from it. Far from, even, a list of my favourite singers and front men. Nor is it an accurate representation of my musical taste. I have loved and worshipped at the altar of other singers, front men, bands and artists more at any given moment, as my fleeting attention span allows, be it for their technical prowess, their performance or their myth; I’m a sucker for a tortured artist.
No, what we have here is a list to make you think and reminisce; harking back to those long forgotten days of yore, of childhood. So without further ado, and our taking-ourselves-seriously-hats left reassuringly at the door, here then, is my list of Top Ten Singers I Pretended To...

Buzzcocks will reportedly play two special shows next March featuring different lineups from across their career. The current band - Pete Shelley, Steve Diggle, Chris Remmington and Danny Farrant - will start the shows, before Remmington and Farrant make way for Steve Garvey and John Maher to recreate the group's classic 1978-1979 lineup, Louder Than War reports. It is suggested that Garvey will then depart the stage and be replaced by founding frontman Howard Devoto. The band will then play tracks from their era-defining Spiral Scratch Ep and songs which later appeared in demo form on Times Up. It is thought that the shows will take place at the Manchester Apollo on May 25 and London's Brixton Academy on May 26. Devoto, real name Howard Trafford, and Shelley, real name Peter McNeish, founded Buzzcocks (more)...

Hello, Zoners!
I hope everyone is doing well and looking forward to another week of wonderfulness. I had everything for this post written and ready to go, but with shock and surprise, only moments ago I scrapped my original greeting. For right now, late on Sunday, I am in front of my TV set, watching President Obama, and trying to absorb the news that nearly 10 years after the attacks on the World Trade Center, bin Laden is dead. As a New Yorker, this naturally resonates profoundly with me. I sit here, remembering that day in September, which was so beautiful when it began, and so shattered.
I feel I know how Jon will handle this; I wonder what Stephen will do. Jon can be sincere, emotional, and himself. Stephen’s character complicates things, but I have complete faith that he is up to the task.
Now, as I take a breath,...

Setting aside for a moment the personal view that people rush too quickly into naming their favorites every year (usually well before the annum is over) I do love reading a good top ten list. When those lists are from magazines, they have a long lead excuse so let's enjoy them.
The L Magazine, a local NYC offering ("the L"is a subway), has released their Best Films of 2010 and as usual there's a lot to argue with. For instance, Mark Asche lulled me into a state of hipster foreign-film auteurism before clobbering me by honoring Woody Allen at the end. Did not see that coming given the rest of the list and, what's more, I'd call You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger Woody's nadir if I hadn't failed at successfully erasing all memories of The Curse of the Jade Scorpion and Hollywood Ending. Where is Lacuna, Inc when I need them?...

Is it acceptable for biopics to make things up – and even tell lies? Ryan Gilbey speaks to the film-makers and screenwriters who are shaking up the genre
In the opening credits of Gainsbourg, a new biopic about the legendary French singer, chain-smoker and lothario, the star is shown swimming among fish who are all puffing away on cigarettes. A little later, Gainsbourg is menaced by a four-armed monster who has sprung from a Nazi propaganda poster. Then there's the small matter of him being followed around by a life-size puppet that only he can see.
This, you realise, is not your run-of-the-mill biopic. And Gainsbourg is not the only example of how the genre is being shaken up. It used to be all about sticking to the truth, with a conventional narrative: they're born, they live, they die. Now biopics are using invention, and even lies, to tell their stories.

The Accidental Revolutionary
by Terry Keefe
(Our line-up of previously unposted interviews from the Naughties continues with my short talk in 2002 with Stacy Peralta, whose Dogtown and Z-Boys documentary went on to spawn an entire sub-genre in the documentary world - as in, "It's Dogtown and Z-Boys set in the formative days of 'fill-in-the-blank sport.'" In 2005, Dogtown was also adapted into the popular narrative feature, Lords of Dogtown, which was directed by Catherine Hardwicke, and gave an early career boost to Emile Hirsch. It also featured a very off-beat performance from Heath Ledger, indicating what he was really capable of as an actor aside from the pretty boy roles he had been typecast in previously. This article originally appeared in Venice Magazine.)
