Nadja’s Aidan Baker and Thisquietarmy’s Eric Quach are both prolific sonic alchemists and have collaborated together on several occasions in the past. Now they’ve decided to join forces to create the Hypnodrone Ensemble, teaming up with no less than three drummers, Felipe Salazar (Caudal, Muerte En Pereira), Jérémie Mortier (Alice in the Cities, Lady Shot from a Tree), and Dave Dunnett (Man Meets Bear) to forge some spacey and atmospheric guitar drones over an exciting polyrhythmic drive.
The newly founded ensemble premiered their musical explorations last May at N.K. in Berlin and such magical performance was committed to tape and masterfully mastered by James Plotkin.
Set for release next Monday via Consouling Sounds to coincide with Aidan Baker performance at this year’s Incubate Festival, Hypnodrone Ensemble reveals yet another facet of these two prolific and extremely gifted musicians.
THE FLAMING LIPS have announced details about the track-listing and special guests featured on their upcoming Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band tribute album, With A Little Help From My Fwends, which is due 3rd November on Bella Union in the UK/Europe (28th October in the US on Warner Bros. Records).

Mascis, Dr. Dog, Phantogram, Tegan and Sara, Grace Potter, Electric Würms (The Lips side project who recently released their 6-song debut album, Musik, Die Schwer Zu Twerk) and many others.

You may not know the band yet but you know many of the players. Prude is a vicious agglomeration of disparate talents working together, fronted by legendary loud mouth and conceptual terrorist Jared Louche from the seminal Machine Rock band CHEMLAB. Industrial agitator Matt Fanale from the sarcastic CAUSTIC brings blistering noise, white light guitar star Marc Olivier from London's PLASTIC HEROES is the essence of rock'n'roll, electronics guru Phil DiSiena (Infocollapse/Cyanotic) provides sleazy grooves, and producer supreme Howie Beno (13mg/Ministry/Blondie/DM) weaves it all into a merciless Molotov.
Prude's debut album 'the dark age of consent' is a wild, acid-tripped puree of 1970's New York punk and glam retrofitted with a harsh, damaged electronic edge. It's a late night, post-rock, electro-experimental punk record of distorted proportions. It's Iggy and The Stooges, Nine Inch Nails, The New York Dolls, T-Rex, 1000 Homo DJs, Roxy Music, George Bataille, Salvador Dali, and Robert Mapplethorpe all filtered through Louche's blast furnace writing. The album was recorded and produced over three years and three continents and mastered at London's legendary Abbey Road Studios by Sean Magee. It's going to blow your skull in two and have you begging for more.

Sequential Access is an Old school EBM collaboration between Marco Defcode (Decoded Feedback) and Claus Larsen (Leæther Strip/Klutæ). Fittingly titled "Sex Addicts Anonymous", the resultant album is 13 tracks of pure golden era electro-industrial. Percussive dance rhythms and arpeggiation are overlaid with catchy lyrics and melodies. "Sex Addicts Anonymous" finds Marco and Claus cranking out a brand of EBM that stomps one foot firmly in the present, one in the halcyon days of the old school European EBM movement of the 80's and 90's

Director: Jason Bateman

An adult, who has been a school dropout, finds a loophole in the regulations and participates in the largest spelling bee in the USA, The Golden Quill. His aim is to take revenge for something done to him in the past.
DUTCH VERSION
Regie: Jason Bateman
Cast: Jason Bateman, Kathryn Hahn
Release: 8/10/2014
Jason Bateman maakt zijn regiedebuut met deze hilarische comedy, Bad Words. Bateman schittert als Guy Trilby, een veertigjarige die een maas vindt in het regelement van The Golden Quill spellingswedstrijd en besluit om problemen te gaan veroorzaken. Wedstrijd officials, diep verontwaardigde ouders en te ambitieuze achtste groepers zijn geen partij voor Guy, hij verplettert meedogenloos hun dromen over overwinning en roem. Een verslaggeefster (Kathryn Hahn) probeert zijn motivatie te ontdekken, Guy zoekt een verbond en vindt die bij een concurrent, de onhandige 10-jarige Chaitanya (Rohan Chand), die zich niks aantrekt van Guy’s directe aanpak.
Critici vinden Bad Words “de grappigste, slimste, meest onderhoudende comedy in een lange tijd!” (Pete Hammond, Movieline).
