HORNY TRASH HUMPERS MAKE NASHVILLE SCENE!

posted May 28th, 2010

Today marks a very special day. What with all the flooding, mayors urinating in public in an effort for CNN to take notice, and houses falling apart, the people of Nashville need something to look forward to. That something can be found this very evening at The Belcourt Theater as Trash Humpers makes it's 3rd premiere across this rotten land of ours. This opening of Trash Humpers will not be an ordinary experience, Harmony Korine will be at the show along with his crew of... (read more)

SIC IN THE SUMMERTIME

posted May 26th, 2010

Hot damn, summer in the city! If you're coming to San Francisco this season, you're bound to meet some skeezy people there. And oh, the places they'll show you, the people you'll meet! You'll definitely hear about the rock and roll duo called Sic Alps, every dropout on every street corner knows them. But hey, you want to take it from the streets and do something classier? No problem, Sic Alps'll meet you there. Yeah, we got the 411 on their latest appearance -... (read more)

Let Us Send Our Trash to Your Phone

posted May 24th, 2010

Hey, you! Yeah, YOU -- with that look of abject humiliation on your face every time your quaint -- but let's face it, tired -- "Camptown Races" ringtone goes off in a crowded elevator! Want to really give them something to pity you for? Try one of our free "Trash Humpers" ringtones. Each one of them contains a moment of pride and pathos from the great new American film by Harmony Korine, Trash Humpers - already opened in New York... (read more)

A HOLY NIGHT IN BETHLEHEM (NO, NOT THAT ONE!)

posted May 21st, 2010

Long and hard is the path, we walk slowly and wonder. We wonder many things of import, such as when the good Brother JT will play another show. What's that - Saturday May 22nd at a secret art space with a slew of Thrill Jockey bands?!? We asked and we did verily receive. Then how about this: when, o when will Brother JT return from the mountain and the desert (the kaliedescopic mountain and desert of pure lysergic energy, that is) and float to us... (read more)

WITH HIGH WATER EVERYWHERE, TRASH HUMPERS ARE DISPATCHED TO NASHVILLE

posted May 19th, 2010

Will America ever learn the lessons of Katrina? On May 3rd, the Cumberland River rose up and flooded through Nashville. As far as crazy people go, Nashville is no New Orleans, and there was no Superdome for crowds of desperate rapists to prey upon, but still - the lamestream media is acting like this terrible tragedy is no worse than the flooding of a local cesspool, thus cutting off real Americans from responding to the crisis the way the good Americans do - by rolling...

Bert Jansch Uses Youngian Method To Cross The U.S.

posted May 17th, 2010

It's been a few years since Bert Jansch's Black Swan tour brought him back in touch with audiences around America. We were hoping to get him over here following the reissues of LA Turnaround, Santa Barbara Honeymoon, and A Rare Conundrum last summer, but health issues prevented him coming at that time. Now however, health issues are allowing him to tour, which is good news. Even better news is the timing of Bert's tour - coinciding exactly with the start of Neil Young's... (read more)

HUMP-FUCKERS WON'T LEAVE NEW YORK (AND NOW LOS ANGELES!) ALONE

posted May 14th, 2010

Good news! Since they keep finding people hiding in the theatre after every show of Trash Humpers at Cinema Village in New York this week, the suits are extending the run another week. That's right, you have until Thursday May 20th to get your fill (or your friends' full) of Trash Humpers. In case you haven't heard (and why would you have heard? you're nobody - but because you're on our list, yeah, we think enough of you to let you know. anyway -),... (read more)

Trash Humpers are humping up to a theater near and dear to you!

posted May 4th, 2010

Harmony Korine’s lastest film -- Trash Humpers -- follows a gang of old-faced degenerates, wandering through the streets of a suburbia, fucking shit and fucking shit up. Korine conjures this perverse artifact with an abrasiveness that only shoorting on VHS tape can convey, with tracking issues, drop-outs and boxy, in-camera microphones crushing the sonic climate. n fact, Trash Humpers is a film that destroys the structure and content of anything conventional, which should be enough to satisfy you bastards. We predict (and hope) that it... (read more)
