Few lyricists have captured womanhood in all of its glory and gore quite like Fiona Apple. For decades, the New York native has infused her art-pop creations with unflinching vulnerability, charting everything from her struggles with obsessive-compulsive disorder to her middle school bullies. The culmination of her efforts came in 2020 with Fetch the Bolt Cutters, a landmark album which paired thudding percussion with a series of fierce statements for freedom. The album is impossibly consistent in quality, but ‘Ladies’ still manages to become a standout track.

On this day in 1980 'McCartney II' was released 🎶 One of McCartney’s most fascinating works of his entire career: something so out of pocket that it seems like provocation. In 1980, nobody but Paul McCartney could have released an album like McCartney II and gotten away with it. Whether you see it as a strange relic, a genius high point, or an unlistenable piece of trash, McCartney II still causes strong reactions for than four decades after McCartney dropped it on an unwitting public. #PaulMcCartney #McCartneyII #FarOutMagazine

Blanchett has confirmed that her upcoming dark comedy film, Rumours, was named after the classic Fleetwood Mac album 🎬 Co-directed by Guy Maddin and brothers Evan and Galen Johnson, the film aims to satirise the G7 summit, with Blanchett set to portray the German Chancellor. The cast also includes Ex Machina star Alicia Vikander, who will take on the role of the Secretary-General of the European Commission, and British icon Charles Dance, who will play the US president. Rumours premiered earlier this week at Cannes, receiving a standing ovation lasting almost six minutes. In a press conference at the French film festival, Blanchett confirmed that the film’s title was inspired by the name of Fleetwood Mac’s iconic magnum opus, Rumours. “I did confirm something with Galen last night,” she recalled, “and it’s weird that it never came up in rehearsal, which is: ‘Why the hell is this movie called Rumours?'” Blanchett’s husband went on to inquire whether it was inspired by the Fleetwood Mac album of the same name, released in 1977, which Johnson confirmed. Rumours is Fleetwood Mac’s most famous album, born out of the soft rock band’s drug use and tumultuous internal relationships. The record spawned some of Fleetwood Mac’s biggest hits, from the dismissive ‘Go Your Own Way’ to the swaying ‘Dreams’ to the sprawling ‘The Chain’. Johnson’s decision to name his film after the album came when the directors were perusing a list of great album names. They were particularly drawn to Rumours because of the drama and divorces that characterised its production process. “Rumours the album was famously creatively fraught, and everyone was sleeping with each other,” Johnson went on to explain, “so it made sense to us.” The director thought they would run into queries about the title earlier than at its premiere, but Rumours simply stuck. “No one questioned it,” he shrugged, “We thought people, producers and financiers, would be like, ‘Why Rumours?’ But no one ever questioned it, so it just made the title.” #CateBlanchett #Rumours #FleetwoodMac #FarOutMagazine

We’re diving into the universally accessible world of ambient music. When scaling the oppressive slopes of heavy metal or, God forbid, death metal, listeners are easily alienated. In fact, it often seems to be the point. In stark contrast, ambient music is a soft pillow or a welcoming tent on the quiet side of Glastonbury. It might not be central to everyone’s musical knowledge, but very few are offended by its calming nature. 🎶 Full feature via the link in our bio ⬆️ #AmbientMusic #BrianEno #FarOutMagazine

Mining billionaire, Gina Rinehart, has demanded that the National Gallery of Australia removes her portrait, which is currently on display 🖼️ Rinehart, the richest woman in Australia, is a controversial figure due to the nature of how her wealth was secured. The portrait is part of a new exhibition in Canberra, devoted to 21 of the most influential people who have shaped modern Australia. Speaking to the BBC, he said of the portrait which Rinehart believes to be unflattering: “We are all equal in Australia… No matter what heritage you are, or where you come from… We are all Australian.” He continued: “I paint people who are wealthy, powerful or significant – people who have had an influence on this country, and on me personally, whether directly or indirectly, whether for good or for bad. Some people might not like it, other people might find it funny, but I hope people look beneath the surface and see the serious side too.” Despite complaints made by Rinehart, the gallery have no plans to remove the portrait from the exhibition in Canberra, stating: “Since 1973, when the National Gallery acquired Jackson Pollock’s Blue Poles, there has been a dynamic discussion on the artistic merits of works in the national collection, and/or on display at the gallery.” The National Gallery of Australia continued: “We present works of art to the Australian public to inspire people to explore, experience and learn about art.” #NationalGalleryOfAustralia #GinaRinehart #FarOutMagazine

"I was devastated back then, but I’m glad they did now” 😅 While millions of hearts shattered across the globe when The Beatles decided to part ways, Paul Weller believes, with the benefit of hindsight, they split at precisely the “right time”. “Mum and dad had old rock ‘n’ roll records by Chuck Berry, Little Richard and Elvis, which I loved, but The Beatles,” he said to Mojo, recalling the sound of his childhood. He added, “It isn’t an exaggeration to say they changed the world for many, many people, me included”. “They made me see other possibilities. They made me think of other things in this life, that there wasn’t just this little town, there was a world beyond the city walls and I wanted to be a part of it, to see and feel and experience,” Weller said, “The Beatles made life possible to explore for normal people… People like me.” However, despite his huge love for the group, Weller is relieved that they called it quits when they did, despite taking the news bitterly initially. “The Beatles broke up at the right time. I was devastated back then, but I’m glad they did now,” he said, explaining, “Imagine them going through synth-pop in the ‘80s. It would have been shocking.” #PaulWeller #TheBeatles #FarOutMagazine
On this day in 1966, Bob Dylan's Blonde on Blonde was released ✨ To deny Blonde on Blonde as the pinnacle of Bob Dylan’s discography is to deny sound reasoning and champion personal preference above all else. There’s everything you need to make yourself a perfect figure of Bob Dylan in this LP as it offers a distillation of his character both past and present. There are elements of folk, pop, rock and soul all carefully threaded together in this LP that suggest that Dylan was by far the best artist of the decade. While The Beatles and The Rolling Stones were gathering screaming girls, Dylan was welcoming the music world to his door. Those fans flocked to the Fab Four because of the hysteria while Dylan got his fans from pure songwriting. Songs on the record include classics like ‘I Want You’, ‘Visions of Johanna’, ‘Just Like A Woman’, ‘Fourth Time Around and countless others which all add up to one of most brilliant albums of the 20th century. #BobDylan #BlondeOnBlonde #FarOutMagazine

🗣 “I think that his fame happened so fast, and it was so huge, that I kind of got lost in the shuffle" Due to how successful Bob Dylan became, he is the person many people turn to when they initially think of folk artists. While he popularised the genre on a mainstream scale, there was a whole scene before anyone had even heard of Dylan, which included Joan Baez. Notably, the pair grew close once Dylan made his way to New York City and established himself as a star, surpassing the status of his contemporaries. Additionally, the duo became romantically involved with one another after meeting in 1961 and stayed together for four years before their relationship concluded due to the mammoth change that had occurred at that time. In a recent interview with The Independent, Baez opened up about how her creativity was spurred by the number of great writers circling at the time, as well as how Dylan’s rise to fame subsequently impacted her career and mindset. “In that time period there was Dylan, Joni Mitchell, Joan Baez, Peter, Paul and Mary, Jimi Hendrix, all of them! People ever since then have wanted that level of creation back,” she said. “You can’t recreate that volume of talent, and some of that must have been triggered by the times around us, which were charged.” Despite her civil rights work, one of Baez’s most popular tracks is a love story. ‘Diamonds & Rust’ was written by Baez about her relationship with Dylan. When they split, Dylan didn’t only leave Baez behind but the folk scene in general as he picked up an electric guitar and embraced rock ‘n’ roll. “I remember a kid came up to me – this was the worst of it, when I really didn’t exist to any of them – some kid came up to me in Germany in a lobby and said, ‘Oh, Miss Baez, can I have an interview with you? Bob wouldn’t give me one’. I said, ‘Fuck you!’ It was horrible. It was really awful.” Meanwhile, Baez is set to release her new autobiographical poetry collection, When You See My Mother, Ask Her to Dance, on June 13th, which sees her candidly reflect on her life and career. . . . . . . . #FarOutMagazine #JoanBaez #BobDylan

Part and parcel of celebrity status is the inevitability of being asked to take photographs or sign autographs for fans when out and about, but iconic actor Steve Buscemi has become the most recent victim of a much more unfortunate recent trend. For whatever reason, the Reservoir Dogs star has become the latest well-known public figure to be randomly attacked on the streets of New York City, the place Buscemi has called home since the day he was born. While out for a walk in the Kips Bay area of Manhattan last week, the Primetime Emmy and Golden Globe-winning actor, producer, and filmmaker was approached by a complete stranger on the street, who struck him on the face. Buscemi was taken to Bellevue Hospital after suffering swelling to his left eye and face but was otherwise unharmed, with the suspect potentially captured on CCTV footage still at large. The regular Quentin Tarantino collaborator’s management team issued a statement to The New York Post confirming that Buscemi had been the victim of an unprovoked assault, while voicing dismay that something so egregious could come as a result of nothing more than a stroll around the neighbourhood. “Steve Buscemi was assaulted in Mid-Town Manhattan, another victim of a random act of violence in the city,” the statement read. “He is OK and appreciates everyone’s well wishes, though incredibly sad for everyone that this has happened to while also walking the streets of New York.” Buscemi becomes the latest name from the world of entertainment to have been subjected to acts of violence in public over the last few years, with Ghostbusters and Spaceballs favourite Rick Moranis, reality TV regular Bethenny Frankel, and A Serious Man‘s Michael Stuhlbarg – who co-starred with Buscemi on Boardwalk Empire – other names to have been subjected to similar incidents. . . . . . . . . . #FarOutMagazine

BREAKING NEWS: Steve Albini, the iconic producer and musician who famously worked with acts such as Nirvana, PJ Harvey and Pixies, has died aged 61. Albini suffered a heart attack at his recording studio, Electric Audio, which caused his sudden passing. In recent months, the musician has been working on the forthcoming album, To All Trains, by his band Shellac. The project is set to arrive on May 17th and marks their first record in a decade. News of his death was first reported by Pitchfork, who were told of his passing by staff who work at his recording studio. As of yet, no statement has been released by his family regarding the death of the underground rock icon. As an engineer, Albini worked on thousands of records throughout his storied career and despite achieving mass acclaim thanks to albums such as Surfer Rosa by Pixies and In Utero by Nirvana, he continued to choose to work with countless unsigned acts. Albini first courted attention in the 1980s with punk rock outfit Big Black, who released two albums before parting ways. He then went onto form Rapeman, who released Two Nuns and a Pack Mule in 1988, and Albini later shared his regret over their band name. Since 1992, he has been a member of Shellac. #SteveAlbini #FarOutMagazine

Reeves seems interested in giving the franchise another shot 🎬 The basic plot of the original movie revolves around a bus that a villain rigs up with explosives that will activate if the vehicle falls below 50mph. Although Sandra Bullock had to reprise her role without Reeves in the sequel, the pair remained close and starred together in the 2006 romantic drama The Lake House. The pair recently appeared on the 50 MPH podcast to discuss their experiences making the first movie and the possibility of a third instalment. Addressing the prospect of Speed 3, Reeves said: “I mean, you know — we’d freakin’ knock it out of the park.” Adding to the discussion, Bullock seemed more intent on working alongside Reeves again, whether that meant shooting Speed 3 or a slower movie in a care home setting. “There’s no formula,” she said. “It just is. Before I die, before I leave this planet, I do think that Keanu and I need to do something in front of the camera.” Speed 2 was set on a large boat, but Bullock suggested an even slower vehicle for Speed 3. “Are we in wheelchairs or with walkers?” she asked jovially. “Maybe. Are we on little scooters at Disneyland?” Chiming in, Reeves agreed with Bullock’s point that, no matter what the movie is, they need to collaborate again. “It does feel like there is a siren call to it like there’s something that wasn’t done,” he said. “I would love to work with you again before our eyes close.” #KeanuReeves #SandraBullock #FarOutMagazine

🗣 "I thought he was going to hook me.” Travis singer Fran Healy has opened up about an awkward encounter with Oasis’ Noel Gallagher after pinching the chords from ‘Wonderwall’ for ‘Writing to Reach You’. During a new interview with The Charlatans singer Tim Burgess on his Absolute Radio show, Tim’s Listening Party, Healy explained: “We went in a bar after it, and Noel Gallagher walked in, looking like he was in the Velvet Underground. He had a Ready Brek glow around him and it was like, ‘He’s a rock star!’ So, cut to six months later, and I’m sitting in the coldest room in Glasgow, and I’m writing this song, and I nicked his chords because that’s the chords to ‘Wonderwall’ in ‘Writing to Reach You’.” Owning up to his crimes, Healy continued: “The verse chords are absolutely lifted massively as we do, and as he does! I thought, ‘I’m never going to meet Noel Gallagher in a million years because I’m on the dole, nothing’s gonna happen.” To cover his back, Healy planted a subtle reference to Oasis in the track, noting, “But in the off chance, I should mention a little nod in case he hears it – a little doff of the cap to the originator.’ So I did that, ‘It’s, ‘what’s a ‘Wonderwall’ anyway’ because I’ve nicked your chords – thanks, Noel!’” Before Healy knew it, Travis were one of the biggest bands in the country. Not only had ‘Writing to Reach You’ reached Gallagher, but they were now touring with Oasis, which the Travis frontman worried would leave him with a black eye. He recalled: “We ended up like a year and a half later, touring with (Oasis) and Noel come up to me after we came offstage and he went, ‘Nice chords, mate.’ And I’m like (makes relieved noise.) I thought he was going to hook me.” #Travis #NoelGallagher #FarOutMagazine

Leonard Cohen in 'Miami Vice' 📺 While his love for the arts remained unparalleled, Cohen did often like to switch things up in his life and, back in 1986, be made the interesting decision to star on camera as the villain in ‘French Twist’, the seventeenth episode of Miami Vice’s second and highly popular season. The bizarre turn saw Cohen take on the role of Francois Zolan, a character who was working with Interpol in a bid to assist in the search for a rogue freelancer. Working alongside Lisa Eichhorn and a rogue and random alligator which appears in the scene, Cohen’s appearance was cut short to just two scenes—both of which feature him dressed in all black and speaking French on the phone. While Cohen’s decision to take the cameo role surprised many of his fans at the time, the musician later revealed that he opted to take the chance to seemingly impress his son who has a huge fan of the show. However, the plan didn’t exactly go perfectly well. “In truth, I had a much bigger part. I went down there and did my first scene and the assistant director rang me up and said, ‘You were really great, truly wonderful’,” Cohen once explained in an interview with Q Magazine. “And I said, ‘OK, thanks a lot.’ Then the casting director from New York called me up and said, ‘You were fantastic, truly wonderful!’ And I said, ‘You mean I’m fired.’ And he said, ‘Yeah, we’re cutting all your other scenes and giving them to another guy.'” #LeonardCohen #MiamiVice #FarOutMagazine

The Republican politician, Jeff Landry, is a deeply controversial figure ❌ After the ballad ‘You Can’t Always Get What You Want’, Jagger discussed inclusion and acknowledged that the Governor of Louisiana, Jeff Landry, was reportedly in attendance. Jagger said: “We want to include him too, even if he wants to take us back to the Stone Age.” A Roman Catholic, the Republican politician is a deeply controversial figure and is known for having strident views on LGBTQ+ issues and legislation. Landry also played a key role in Louisiana’s ban on gender-affirming care for trans youth and has been publicly criticised by his openly gay brother, Nicholas, for his generally anti-LGBTQ+ actions. Landry later replied to Jagger on Twitter, keeping it cordial. “You can’t always get what you want,” he tweeted. “The only person who might remember the Stone Age is Mick Jagger.

The Cure's 'Disintegration' turns 35 today 💕 There are some albums in which you can see your entire past, present, and future, and Disintegration is one of them. The amalgamation of Robert Smith’s hauntingly exquisite vocals and the intricate soundscapes that convey a sense of being both everywhere and nowhere perfectly solidifies the tremendous success The Cure accumulated with their eighth studio album. Every song on Disintegration seamlessly transitions into the next, making it challenging to select favourites. Nevertheless, ‘Pictures of You’ undoubtedly ranks high, with its distinctive gothic rock sound, impeccable vocals, and lyrics that have the power to transport you right back to the 1980s. “If only I’d thought of the right words /I could have held on to your heart,” Smith sings, providing a stark reminder of how bittersweet heartbreak can be. This album is remarkably unique, balancing a sense of urgency with profound relaxation. In ‘Closedown’, the fear of growing older is palpable as Smith sings about “running out of time” and the feeling of being washed up. Yet, the song’s bass line and heavy rhythm convey a sense of acceptance, existing as a reminder that everyone experiences anxiety about ageing at some point, but ultimately, everything will be just fine. #TheCure #Disintegration #FarOutMagazine
💿 ALBUM OF THE WEEK 💿 If you look at things philosophically, then The Lemon Twigs present a peculiar problem with their new album, A Dream Is All We Know. Is it retrogressive and unoriginal to cook up a rotation of Baroque pop songs that you could seamlessly slip into a shuffled playlist of The Beach Boys and The Move and only audiophiles would notice? Or is it paradoxically forward-thinking to fixate on golden years while the rest of the alternative scene is scrapping for something new, sometimes to the detriment of their sound? This predicament is one that only exists on paper. When you’re actually listening to the record, you can’t help but come to the happy conclusion that Pet Sounds is one of the greatest albums of all time, and now we have a worthy part two. The Lemon Twigs escape the footsteps of their inspirations by showcasing a musical understanding unrivalled by any band today — stunning performances and songs that Brian Wilson perhaps could’ve written, but very importantly, he didn’t. This elevates the album from homage to a beautifully chic, retrofied modern masterpiece.

Gilmour recently attested that it was a “hard watch” 💭 During an interview with Uncut, the legendary Pink Floyd musician voiced his opinions about Get Back, derisively calling it a “hard watch” as a result of, “Paul being domineering and and John ducking back because of the moment he was in at the time and George leaving and coming back”. It seems, then, that Gilmour’s issues with the documentary are more to do with its content rather than the making of the film itself. Indeed, the documentary is a for some Beatles fanatics, as it details a particularly turbulent period within the band’s history. By the time that Let It Be was coming to be recorded, it was pretty clear that the group could not co-exist for much longer. Continuing in his love-hate relationship with Peter Jackson’s film, Gilmour said that it is, “Horrible, really,” before qualifying, “I mean it’s lovely for us to watch, but I’m surprised Paul allowed it”. Gilmour’s comments about The Beatles documentary elicits an interesting question about how much Pink Floyd footage is locked away as a result of being too “horrible” for public consumption. #DavidGilmour #PinkFloyd #PaulMcCartney #TheBeatles #GetBack #FarOutMagazine
What do you consider to be the single greatest TV episode of the 21st century? 📺 Once upon a time, Hollywood looked down at the grey television box in the corner of everyone’s living room. Small-screen offerings were indeed nothing special when they were popularised in the 1950s, with light sitcoms like I Love Lucy ruling the industry alongside news broadcasts and throwaway comedies. There was harmony between cinema and TV, with a vast difference in quality between the two mediums. This steadily changed, however, as the new millennium neared closer and the quality of TV sets began to improve. Indeed, by the dawn of the 1990s, if you were willing to pay the money, you could have a pretty well-kitted-out living room, and TV studios began matching their content to fill the needs of the consumer who wanted bigger and better shows for their marvellous home cinemas. Donning themselves as producers of box office television, the arrival of HBO significantly changed the makeup of the entertainment industry, with early hits like Oz, The Sopranos and Six Feet Under having such high production value that they felt more like cinema rather than a mere television show. Suddenly, the value of high-quality TV sky-rocketed with the small screen content of the 21st century, rivalling the feats of cinema for the first time ever. Offering writers more time and space to flesh out their characters and intricate tales, modern television has produced some of the finest motion picture tales ever told. Distilling 24 years into just 20 entries is, therefore, no easy task, with our list of the 20 best TV episodes of the 21st century extracting just one iconic instalment from influential stories by the likes of Cary Joji Fukunaga, Trey Parker and Shane Meadows.

🗣 “I left in 1991 but they would not believe me” In a new interview with The Mirror, Wyman has opened up about his original departure back in 1993. The bassist made it clear that he is comfortable no longer living in the limelight and is toying with the idea of opening a Rupert Bear museum. “I left in 1991 but they would not believe me,” Wyman said, before explaining why his departure took a long time to be officially announced. “They refused to accept I had left. It was not until 1993, when they were starting to get together to tour in 1994, when they said, ‘You have actually now left, haven’t you?’ And I said, ‘I left two years ago’. They finally accepted it, so they say I left in 1993.” Ultimately, after nearly 30 years on the road, achieving his dreams, and amassing millions, Wyman was done with the existence of a prominent rockstar and wanted something different from life. “I just had enough. It was half my life and I thought, ‘I have got other things I want to do’. I wanted to do archaeology, write books, have photo exhibitions and play charity cricket. I used to read about ancient cultures while I was on the road and take photos as well. I just had this whole other life I wanted to live,” he added. #BillWyman #TheRollingStones #FarOutMagazine

Posted via • @faroutmagazine 🗣 "Algorithms cannot be in the hands of individuals like Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg" At the screening of Gary Hustwit’s new documentary, Eno, pioneering musician Brian Eno explained why algorithms could have “completely terrifying” consequences if they fall into the wrong hands. He told the audience, which included Far Out, at The Barbican: “Well, one thing that is really, really clear to me is that whoever designs the algorithms, designs the future. And it’s completely terrifying to me that the design of those algorithms is, in fact, almost 99 per cent made by a few young Americans who want to make a lot of money. If profitability is the main goal of the design, then we’re going to end up with the same kind of shit that we got from social media”. “Algorithms are not transparent, they’re not like screwdrivers, or something like that. They have a personality, they have a direction, and encoded in them is a worldview. And if the worldview encoded in them as a sort of libertarian capitalist, individualistic worldview, that’s where we will end up. And I’m not being dramatic and saying that we’ve seen it happen with social media, social media could have run with different algorithms, it could have been a different world.” Eno also portioned blame for the current state of politics across the globe on this technology, claiming if the algorithms were designed differently, this situation could have been avoided. “It could have been a world that didn’t automatically promote right wing nationalists and people like Donald Trump and conspiracy theories. That comes out of the system. The system leans that way,” he claimed. “It doesn’t have to produce those results, but the likelihood is that it will and I think we really have to understand that the ownership of the algorithms cannot be in the hands of individuals like Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg and so on,” Eno concluded. #BrianEno #FarOutMagazine

Trading a classic for a flop: the roles Val Kilmer and Keanu Reeves swapped Actors are constantly ships passing in the night, regularly circling the same roles and creating domino effects when the cards ultimately end up toppling in the other direction, although there’s no debate over who got the better end of the deal when Val Kilmer and Keanu Reeves traded places. @faroutmagazine They were both in-demand stars in the mid-1990s – and the latter remains one to this day – which inevitably had them on many of the same shortlists at around the same time. The Matrix is just one of several projects on which their names were bandied about in the same conversation, but Kilmer ended up lucking out and inadvertently saddling Reeves with a major box office bomb. When the opportunity arose to embody Chris Shiherlis in Michael Mann’s classic crime thriller Heat, Reeves was one of the first names under consideration. He was hotter than ever coming off the back of blockbuster hit Speed, but he declined the opportunity in favour of treading the boards in his native Canada to perform Shakespeare instead. That worked hugely in Kilmer’s favour, to say the least, with the movie going down as one of the best of his entire career and a huge missed opportunity for his counterpart. On the other hand, it’s hard to imagine the stoic, blank-faced, and boyish Reeves being the perfect fit for the character, so it would be fair to say everything worked out for the best. Prior to his banner 1995 that saw him appear in Heat and Batman Forever within months of each other, Kilmer was attached to play the title role in the adaptation of William Gibson’s cyberpunk short story Johnny Mnemonic. The film had been in development since the 1980s, but it was nearing the starting line before the initial choice of leading man jumped ship. 👉Read the full article on the @faroutmagazine website: https://faroutmagazine.co.uk/roles-val-kilmer-and-keanu-reeves-swapped/ #keanureeves #valkilmer #johnnymnemonic #movie #faroutmagazine

🌀 COVER STORY 🌀 If you scrape the clotted remnants of gear from a troubled fingernail and flick it, grinningly, into an apocalyptic dystopia, it shouldn’t land too far from the territory Fat White Family chartered with their 2013 debut album, Champagne Holocaust. In a 21st-century echo of The Velvet Underground’s dark psychedelia, band leader Lias Saoudi established an anarchic playground of salacious meddling and medicine-mixing apt for a menagerie of south London hedonists navigating their 20s. Fast forward just over a decade, and Saoudi sits opposite us, cheeky grin intact. The focus of our conversation is, of course, the imminent album Forgiveness Is Yours. The long-awaited release continues on the trajectory of refinement configured deftly in 2019’s Serfs Up! but retains the gritty nuances crucial to the Family’s DNA.

84 candles today for Al Pacino 🎂💛 Gruff, rough and all-around intense, Al Pacino has become known as one of the greatest screen actors of all time, thanks to several iconic performances throughout the 1970s and 1980s. Working alongside such directors as Martin Scorsese, Francis Ford Coppola and Quentin Tarantino, as well as Hollywood superstars like Robert De Niro, Marlon Brando and Leonardo DiCaprio, Pacino has made an indelible mark in the history of cinema. Having enjoyed a career spanning over half a century, Pacino has a wealth of achievements under his belt, telling The Talks in a past interview: “You don’t think of those parts as achievements. You think of the roles you play, the paintings you’ve made. You know, resting on your laurels, you get a nice big check, take another profession on… But for some thick reason, I keep wanting to go back and do this stuff”. #AlPacino #FarOutMagazine
Happy 30th birthday to Blur's 'Parklife' 🎉 In 1990, Blur frontman Damon Albarn made a startingly accurate prophecy: “When our third album comes out,” he told Mojo’s David Cavanagh, “Our place as the quintessential English band of the ’90s will be assured. That is a simple statement of fact. I intend to write it in 1994”. Blur didn’t exactly have a reputation for far-sightedness at this point. Their 1991 album Leisure turned out to be little more than a survey of contemporary rock music, and by 1993, they were still struggling. Heavily in debt and touring incessantly, Blur managed to cobble together Modern Life Is Rubbish, which revealed the first green shoots of that quintessential Englishness Albarn had foretold three years earlier. With Parklife, Blur did establish themselves as the quintessential English band, spearheading a new era of British pop music alongside the likes of Pulp, Suede and Oasis. Eccentric, forward-thinking and highly attuned to modern British life, Parklife became a touchstone of the ’90s guitar boom through a series of artful subversion. #Parklife #Blur #FarOutMagazine
David Gilmour has unveiled details of his new solo album, Luck and Strange 🤘 The forthcoming LP has been produced by sibling duo, David and Charlie Andrew, who have previously worked with the likes of Alt-J, Wolf Alice and Marika Hackman. Gilmour spent five months recording Luck and Strange, splitting the studio time between Brighton and London. Reflecting on his work with the producers, Gilmour said: “We invited Charlie to the house, so he came and listened to some demos, and said things like, ‘Well, why does there have to be a guitar solo there?” and “Do they all fade out? Can’t some of them just end?’. He has a wonderful lack of knowledge or respect for this past of mine. He’s very direct and not in any way overawed, and I love that. That is just so good for me because the last thing you want is people just deferring to you.” For Luck and Strange, Gilmour also teamed up with his longtime collaborator and wife, Polly Samson, who composed the majority of the lyrics for the forthcoming record, with an emphasis on the ageing process, according to Gilmour, who said, “It’s written from the point of view of being older; mortality is the constant.” He continued: “We spent a load of time during and after lockdown talking about and thinking about those kind of things.” #DavidGilmour #PinkFloyd #FarOutMagazine
Once fascism ended in 1943 and Mussolini was killed in 1945, out of the ashes came Italian Neorealism, a cinematic protest against the previous generations of rule and cultural censorship. 🎬 As Giulia Saccogna, the programmer for the BFI’s latest Italian Neorealism season, puts it: “Italian directors, newly freed from 20 years of fascist dictatorship, could finally express their critical view of society: reality appeared on screen for the first time”. 🇮🇹 Chasing the Real: Italian Neorealism is at BFI Southbank from May 1st – June 30th, with selected films also available to watch on BFI Player.
