Susan Seidelman: The Most Overlooked Director of the Twentieth Century
There is something about Susan Seidelman that people in the “film community” fail to notice–not just that she’s fucking brilliant, but that she has a rare quality few of her contemporaries possess: The ability to create films that are pointed and eloquent without use of a monumental budget. Then there’s the need people have to [...]

Electric Daisy Carnival 2010!
This year was the first and possibly last Electric Daisy Carnival for us here at Behind the Hype. Why you ask? Not because it wasn’t incredible, but because of the tragedy of the 15 year old young lady that took a walk on the wild side. Reports are saying that they might not do it [...]

Warped Tour 2010 Ventura!
Ah yes, the Vans Warped Tour. As the date approaches in our town, a familiar mixed bag of emotions comes over us. For those, say perhaps, in their quarter life comes a series of questions to ponder: What is 3OH!3, and why is it on the lineup – because it sounds like an energy drink. [...]

Wavves’ Nathan Williams Proclaims Self King of the Beach
Posted on 28 July 2010
This is not exactly a revelation, but the indie rock community is god damned ridiculous. Nathan Williams’ third album under the Wavves moniker has been referred to many, many times over as his comeback album – despite the fact that his last album was released a year and a half ago, and his critically acclaimed [...] Continue Reading

The Mountain Man Made the Harbor, It’s True
Posted on 27 July 2010
The amount of groups trying their hand at the burgeoning 60s inspired indie folk genre continues to grow, and as with most genre growth spurts, it isn’t exactly for the better. As evidenced by Midlake’s latest from a few months back, the results are sadly dull and derivative albums, seemingly more interested to indulge in [...] Continue Reading

Tuesday Ten: Forgotten 90s Gems
Posted on 27 July 2010
Last week’s list reminded me just how overly fond I am of music from the 90s, so for this week I wanted to go over favorite tracks from the decade. But the more I went through my music… the more I realized what a fucking joke it would be to try slimming down that many [...] Continue Reading

Is LCD Soundsystem Happening? …I Guess
Posted on 26 July 2010
This review is going to contain a vast amount of foul language. I mean LOT. If this is something that might bother you… well fuck, maybe now would be a good time to stop reading! Out of all the musical acts who enjoy overwhelmingly and seemingly unconditionally positive critical acclaim and hype, there is a [...] Continue Reading

In The Stark Glow of Daylight, Does Mad Men Still Seem as Good as it Did Last Night?
Posted on 26 July 2010
The answer is a twofold yes and no. For anyone who has wondered why there is such a frenzied excitement about Mad Men‘s return to AMC for its fourth season, the furor cannot be explained if you have not seen it from the beginning. Unlike other acclaimed shows, such as 30 Rock, Parks and Rec, [...] Continue Reading

Dummy: Adrien Brody’s Singular Career Move
Posted on 25 July 2010
Adrien Brody has been accused of having made quite a few bad film choices over the course of his career, but perhaps none of those choices have been as maligned as 2002′s Dummy. The story, written and directed by Greg Pritikin (who really hasn’t done much else since then), follows the extremely pitiable life of [...] Continue Reading

Who Is Salt?
Posted on 23 July 2010
So goes the tagline for Angelina Jolie’s latest film after a two-year absence from the silver screen. And, much like another famous (and rhyming) question, “Who is John Galt?,” Evelyn Salt proves herself to be just as mysterious and multi-faceted. Though it is no secret that the script was originally intended to be played by [...] Continue Reading

A Sandwich Chain Comparison
Posted on 22 July 2010
There are many types of sandwiches. Among them are the almighty Subway five dollar footlong, the toasty Quiznos, and the harder to find TOGO’S. As a poor person who doesn’t want to eat at McDonald’s everyday, I find sandwiches to be an ideal lunch meal. As such, I have my favorite restaurants, and even my [...] Continue Reading
