“When you’ve cut someone’s bum off and eaten it, you kind of go, well, better try something different!” Steve Pemberton told us at the Inside No. 9 series three launch. In Empty Orchestra, a (whisper it) love story with a (keep whispering) happy ending, something different is exactly what he and Reece Shearsmith have done.

The eleventh entry in an on-going series of audiovisual essays by Cristina Álvarez López and Adrian Martin. Greg Mottola's Adventureland (2009) is now playing in the United States through February 29.Few subjects divide people more sharply and ferociously than respective tastes in music. We build our identities, our system of values, even our world-views, through the music we choose to love and cultivate, whether as players or listeners—and we project our musical distastes onto a screen (or a variety of screens) constituting those monstrous Others from which we differentiate and dissociate ourselves.Popular movies have a lot to do with propagating this fascinating but treacherous and unstable cultural process. Especially teen movies, which involve themselves with the vagaries of pop, rock, and other musical styles more extensively and intimately than most genres—particularly at the level of ‘sampling,’ of the selection of pre-existing tracks for the film soundtrack (and,...

Dance music fans the world over are counting down the days until the release of Eric Prydz‘s highly anticipated debut album, Opus, making it as fitting a time as any for the Swedish progressive house innovator to tease out a couple tracks. In the eighth episode of his esteemed Beats 1 show, the DJ/producer has showcased two songs from the effort that capture his richly layered style and depth of concept.
The mix starts off with the first track, “The Matrix,” a decidedly uplifting progression that showcases Prydz’s use of synth arpeggios. The second, “Trubble,” arrives at the end, and utilizes otherworldly dissonance to create more tension in the listener. In bookending the mix with either track, Prydz makes the eighth edition of his Beats 1 show a tantalizing preview for what’s to come on Opus.
As far as the album itself is concerned, Eric Prydz‘ Opus will come out on February 5th.

Derek Zoolander and Hansel – He’s so hot right now! – crashed Valentino’s runway this morning at Paris Fashion Week.
Apparently the Derek Zoolander Center For Kids Who Can't Read Good And Wanna Learn To Do Other Stuff Good Too wasn’t as successfully as we all thought it’d be; Derek and Hansel are back into modelling. Don’t worry. They’re still really, really ridiculously good-looking.
Stalking down the catwalk to The Human League’s “Don’t You Want Me,” Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson donned their Zoolander wigs, reprising their dumb male model characters from the cult comedy.
Stiller and Wilson – who was until this point only rumoured for the sequel – have been shooting in Paris and Rome with director Justin Theroux, who will co-write the Zoolander 2 with Stiller.
It's heavily rumoured that Will Ferrell will be returning as Mugatu.
Honestly, we’re incredibly excited. But...

It doesn’t seem possible that it was around 30 years ago that A Flock of Seagulls ran so far away or Modern English melted with us, but it was. The story behind those acts, their biggest hits, and dozens of other New Wave acts are captured in all their ‘80s bad hairdo-ed, brightly colored-glory in “Mad World: An Oral History of New Wave Artists And Songs That Defined The 1980s.” Written by Lori Majewski and Jonathan Bernstein, with a forward by Duran Duran’s Nick Rhodes and an afterward by Moby, the book examines the New Wave era through the filter of 36 songs associated with the time, such as Gary Numan’s “Cars,” Duran Duran’s “Girls On Film” and The Smiths’ “How Soon Is Now.” Each chapter deals with one act and, while not limited to the group’s biggest hit, explores the story behind that tune and the...

Oh, Canada. The country's Institute of Diversity and Inclusion (Cidi) put together an amazing ad in response to the Russian anti-lgbt propaganda laws, and it is perfect.
Per the commercial, the Olympics have "always been a little gay." Need further proof? How about a slowed down prep for a luge run set to the tune of The Human League's "Don't You Want Me."
It's going to be hard to watch the 2014 Winter Olympics without some sensual undertones from here on out.

For many, including myself, Tom Baker’s Fourth is the Doctor, the definite article, you might say. And though his scarf, floppy hat & love of jelly babies have helped, there’s a long-forgotten musical facet to his appeal.
All but the most dedicated of Whovians might not even know it exists, until now. Even though it involves a group who’d become one of the biggest electronic/pop acts of the Eighties, the Human League’s 1981 instrumental ‘ Tom Baker’, released towards the end of the great man’s time in the Tardis, remains to most a relic of a band having regenerated its line-up and in the process of finding its sound, one which even they themselves appear to have quickly disowned.
Nonetheless, let’s delve deeper, with a few timely diversions, and hopefully in the process raise it from a B-side (first issued with the ‘Boys & Girls’ single) to an undisputed A!

Joseph Gordon-Levitt took on all comers in an epic Lip Sync Battle against Jimmy Fallon and Stephen Merchant of HBO’s “Hello Ladies.” Merchant, the challenger, kicked the “Late Night” contest off with an angry DJ Jazzy Jeff and The Fresh Prince rendition, which Fallon countered with “Don’t You Want Me” by The Human League. Gordon-Levitt’s answer? An extraordinarily energetic and dramatic “Tiny Dancer” by Sir Elton John. See video: Jimmy Fallon, Justin Timberlake Go ‘#Hashtag’ Happy; Questlove: ‘Shut the F— Up’ In round two, the gawky Englishman performed “Single Ladies” sans microphone, complete with Beyonce’s signature moves from the video.

No one battle raps anymore, these days it's all about the lip-sync showdown. Don't believe that? Well then, just ask Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Stephen Merchant, who went head to head on "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon."
The two were joined by host Jimmy Fallon for the battle, which saw each lip-syncing songs. Bonus points go to Merchant, who busted out a great rendition of "Boom! Shake the Room," by DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince, Will Smith. Fallon showed off his smooth dance moves for "Don't You Want Me" by The Human League. It was Levitt who won the first round though, by getting really into lip-syncing Elton John's "Tiny Dancer."
In round two, Merchant ditched the microphone as he danced around the stage to Beyonce's "Single Ladies," even throwing a twerk into the mix. Jimmy kept his 80s streak going with a very jumpy version of "Take On Me" by A-ha.

'My mother would listen to the Carpenters while ironing'
Of the handful of albums my parents owned, it was The Carpenters' Singles 1969-1973 that struck me the most. I remember being particularly fascinated by Rainy Days and Mondays. With the benefit of hindsight, I suspect it was because it was the first piece of music I had ever heard that appeared to perfectly suit the circumstances in which I heard it. My mother would listen to the Carpenters in the afternoon, while doing the ironing in the front room, and I remember thinking that was what the woman in the song was probably doing too.

Steve Coogan has been in countless films throughout his career, but devout fans of the actor have been clambering for a feature-length film of his iconic character, Alan Partridge. The story of a talk-show host turned regional radio DJ will be seeing big screens in August (in the U.K.) when “Alan Partridge: Alpha Papa” comes to theaters. The trailer came out a month ago, but now there’s news on the soundtrack which appears to be as in love with the main character as fans are; out of the whopping 41-tracks listed, thirteen are quotes from Coogan’s Partridge character. Hopefully, it’s proof of the crackling script. It also appears we’ll be going back in time to the 1980s with artists such as Carly Simon, The Police, The Human League and Chicago alongside newer folks like Calvin Harris. And there's a pretty iconic piece by Philip Glass as well.

Asked about their move from Paris to London, frontman Basquiat said: "At the beginning we weren't sure if it was a good move. We were freaking out a bit - it's a tough city. "But our music fits better to the UK, because in France only the cool people listen to you. It's not in the DNA of the people. "Some people don't know New Order, they know Joy Division - here everybody knows them. Pop music is in the DNA of the population and in France it's only for the cool people, for the hipsters."
