Remember when the new "Star Wars" trailer was burning up the Internet?

George Lucas apparently didn't get the memo.

The franchise's creator recently told the New York Post's Page Six that he hasn't watched the teaser for next year's "Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens," which makes him the only one on the planet.

When asked about it, Lucas reportedly replied "I don't know anything about it. I haven't seen it yet."

Somewhere, director J.J. Abrams might be feeling a bit of a sting.

Lucas reportedly sold Lucasfilm, the production company behind the "Star Wars" franchise, to Disney for billions in 2012.

He told Page Six he does plan on seeing the new film when it arrives in theaters on December 18, 2015, but when asked whether he was curious about the goings-on new version, he replied, "Not really."

Might he be a bit irked at the Internet's parodic "George Lucas Special Edition" of the trailer?

The Swedish Agent Side Grinder have released a cool new video. Check it out and find out why some call them them the Scandinavian Joy Division...
This is what the band has to say about the video:
"Our previous videos were filled with machines, synthesizers, abandoned factories and men in black. For our new song "This Is Us" we wanted to depict something else.
We turned to our friend, documentary filmmaker Jacob Frössén, a master of capturing the melancholic feeling at a desolate football pitch a late November night. This is the result!"

Agent Side Grinder will perform at BIMFEST (Antwerp) on December 19th.

When a half-Chechen, half-Russian, brutally tortured immigrant turns up in Hamburg's Islamic community, laying claim to his father's ill gotten fortune, both German and US security agencies take a close interest: as the clock ticks down and the stakes rise, the race is on to establish this most wanted man's true identity - oppressed victim or destruction-bent extremist? Based on John le Carré's novel, A MOST WANTED MAN is a contemporary, cerebral tale of intrigue, love, rivalry, and politics that prickles with tension right through to its last heart-stopping scene

Directed by Anton Corbijn

Cast : Robin Wright , Willem Dafoe , Rachel McAdams , Philip Seymour Hoffman , Daniel Bruhl

Playing time : 121 minutes

A MASTERPIECE OF DIRECTOR ANTON CORBIJN (THE AMERICAN ) BASED ON THE BESTESELLER BY JOHN LE CARRE WITH OSCAR WINNER PHILIP SEYMOUR HOFFMAN IN HIS LAST ROLE

Cult of Youth's new album Final Days is finally out on Sacred Bones Records and in celebration of its release the band are announcing all of their upcoming U.S. & EU tour dates, do not miss the chance to see the raw energy and sonic beauty of Cult of Youth's live show, who in the U.S. will be joined by Uniform (east coast leg) and Hive Mind (west coast leg).

Final Days feels like a full realization of the project, it's everything Cult of Youth has been moving towards for the past seven years — post-industrial, post-punk, and post-enlightenment. 

Pitchfork says of the album: "Final Days’ exhilarating, cathedral-toppling spectacle could prove to be the career game-changer that ensures his band remains a cult no more."

Sean Ragon has been active in the DIY punk, industrial and experimental music communities on the east coast for over 15 years while also running a record store and label in Brooklyn (Heaven Street and Blind Prophet Records, respectively). He has been recording under the moniker of Cult of Youth for the last seven years. 

Ragon, once the project’s lone member, is now flanked by Jasper McGandy on bass and Christian Kount on electric guitar (both of whom were members of seminal Sacred Bones band The Hunt). Cory Flannigan on drums and Paige Flash on cello complete the five-piece. The end result is Cult of Youth as they were always meant to sound.
