Massive Attack returned for their first show in five years on Wednesday night (June 5th) at Gothenburg Film Studios in Gothenburg, Sweden. To mark the occasion, they brought out longtime collaborators Elizabeth Fraser of Cocteau Twins and reggae singer Horace Andy for several songs each.
With Fraser (who is married to drummer Damon Reece), the trip-hop group performed their signature hit “Teardrop,” as well as “Black Milk and “Group Four.” However, the most notable moment was when they played “Song to the Siren” for the first time together.

Most fans are familiar with Penn Badgley the actor — but it turns out, he’s also in a band. His roles as Dan Humphrey in Gossip Girl and Joe Goldberg in You made him famous. However, like many others in show business, the star also has a passion for music. In a 2023 interview, Badgley addressed his side project, acknowledging the name his band chose is “tragically hipster.”

Penn Badgley is now famous for his role as romantic serial killer Joe on Netflix’s You. But before that, the actor played a lot of high-school characters — something Badgley recently said he was way too old to be doing.

A counterculture take on Bergman’s Wild Strawberries, Kent Lane stars as “Kent”, a young nomad adrift on the California coast while pondering his past and the tragic death of his girlfriend. In spite of his low budget, director Hall Bartlett finagled a great soundtrack featuring Tim Buckley, and Joni Mitchell’s Both Sides Now (sung by Judy Collins). John Simon described the film as “an abomination” and that’s really the only recommendation you need.

Ben Rosenfield has only been at it for 10 years, but he already has an interesting body of work behind him—Boardwalk Empire, 6 Years, Greetings From Tim Buckley (in which he played Buckley), the third season of Twin Peaks, and last year’s Mrs. America, to name just a few. Not to mention the New York stage productions where he performed opposite Carey Mulligan and Zoe Kazan. Maybe this is why the 28 year old speaks with the wisdom of an acting elder.

Way back when, Dylan and the Beatles demonstrated how musicians could evolve dramatically, overhauling their sound on record once or even twice a year. They were hardly alone, but few others shape-shifted during than era like Tim Buckley. By 1968, the L.A.-via-Orange-Country troubadour was moving beyond the keening-balladeer mode of his early work — a mere two years before — and gravitating toward jazz and improvisational music. That exhilarating shift, a key period in his career, is documented in this newly unearthed live tape, recorded that year at the Carousel Ballroom...

As Fred Goodman makes clear in Why Lhasa de Sela Matters (University of Texas Press), the late world-music troubadour never made it easy on anyone. Start with her music. Lhasa (as she called herself professionally) was born and raised in America but became a one-stop global musician: Goodman accurately describes her blend of “Gypsy music and flamenco, Mexican rancheras, Americana and jazz, Portuguese fado, Middle Eastern pop songs, Russian lullabies,chanson française, and South American folk melodies.” A dramatic, exposed-nervous-system singer, she seemed to pour everything into a performance; it...

Owsley Stanley was known as the foremost underground LSD chemist of the 1960s. But he was also an exacting pioneer of live concert sound, a man who helped invent both monitor systems and high-fidelity amplification. When he died in 2011 at the age of 76, Stanley left behind a breathtaking array of some 1,300 reels amassed between 1966 and 1982. Buried inside are lost concerts by legends like Johnny Cash, Fleetwood Mac, Tim Buckley, and dozens of others, alongside the San Francisco psychedelic bands Stanley is most often associated with, such as the Grateful Dead and Jefferson Airplane.

Jeff Buckley swoons the crowd with a gut-wrenching performance of “Lover, You Should’ve Come Over” in a previously unreleased live video. The song is the seventh track off the late singer’s legendary debut Grace, which turns 25 today.
Filmed at the Middle East in Cambridge, Massachusetts on February 19, 1994, the black and white clip features Buckley walking towards the venue on a snowy sidewalk, guitar case in hand. He performs at soundcheck wearing a coonskin-like cap, later launching into the track before a packed crowd. “Maybe I’m too young...

As the sole album Jeff Buckley completed during his brief lifetime, Grace offers a tantalizing look at the unfulfilled promise of one of the Nineties’ most striking talents. Showcasing the singer-songwriter’s technical virtuosity and soaring multi-octave range, the tracks brim with the fervent energy of a musical polyglot who seemed torn between desires to be a chanteuse or a headbanger. Drawing elements from jazzy torch singers, heavy-metal guitar heroes, poets, punks, and Pakistani Qawwali vocalists, it’s a sound that welcomes all, yet defies definition.
Then again, Buckley was always wary of categorization.

“Free Yourself” is centered around a vocal refrain that’s chopped in various ways, but always conveys a clear message: “Free yourself, free me, dance.” The production supports the command, as the Chemical Brothers craft a euphoric, multi-faceted odyssey of blistering synths and deep grooves.

When you watch the seventh episode in the first season of Netflix's breakout hit, Glow, then you'll likely find yourself hearing a very familiar voice. Rhonda, the bubbly, big-banged British member of the show's all-female wrestling group, comes up with a rap to hype up the crowd during the Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling's first match with a live studio audience. "Glow, Glow, that's the name; women's wrestling is our game," she chants in the middle of the ring. "If we play rough, please don't blame us; our style is wild, and you know you can't tame us!" If Rhonda's voice gives you a major case of déjà-vu in that scene, might I ask if you're a fan of the 2007 song "Foundations"? Or "Merry Happy"? Because Rhonda (aka Britannica) is actually played by British singer-songwriter Kate Nash!

Sometimes music can surprise you when you least expect it to... and so it goes that my family and I were driving home from our Christmas visit in Akron, Ohio and I was bored out of my mind on Interstate 80 -- somewhere in the middle of snow-covered Pennsylvania -- when I decided to play a CD from the Michigan-based singer/songwriter Cameron Blake. What is this, I thought? Rufus Wainwright's twin or Scott Walker's protégé, or Tim Hardin's ghost or... you get my musical reference drift, oui? Somewhat lazy, but a starting point. Yet, he is his own poet. And that voice, like Matt Wilson of Semisonic/Trip Shakespeare, or Tim Buckley, clear and pristine tenor, riding his melodies effortlessly. Damn, I wish I had his voice. What it could do with my songs, but alas it is his and his alone and I am thankful that...

The latest stage of Richard Linklater’s freewheeling career takes him back to the 1970s with Last Flag Flying, a 44-years-belated sequel to Hal Ashby’s masterpiece The Last Detail. It’s difficult to call much of anything from Linklater a surprise at this point: he seems as comfortable at the helm of a studio comedy powered by Jack Black’s manic energy as he does a decade-plus-spanning epic about the journey from childhood to adolescence. Last Flag Flying may not stand as one of Linklater’s defining works, but it does signal a kinship with the New Hollywood director, whose run from 1970-1979 was as inspired as any other from that era — before he got burned (and burned-out) and died too young at the age of 59. Ashby and Linklater have a shared ability to make a film built on discursive moments flow narratively, an affinity for counterculture movements or...

Lynn Castle Rose Colored Corner Light (Light In The Attic)
Coming across visually as a prototype Nancy Sinatra about to enter The Valley Of The Dolls, Lynn Castle in the 1960s was an entrancing and beguiling entity. Her debut album finally appears a few years shy of her turning eighty, and it is a tremendous affair, an index of splendid and unrealized possibilities, as stark as it is haunting.
Vocally she sounds like a female Leonard Cohen who's been listening to too much Nina Simone, whose smoke-laced croak she frequently echoes. Her look though uber-girlie doesn't match her sound, and simply serves to enhance the appeal of her beauty and big, big hair. Think Warhol's Candy Darling doing an arch Barbie doll look and you are nearly there. Add Jackie O shades and you have quite simply arrived. Her sole single 'The Lady Barber' is a wonderful piece of...

Über rock guitarist Gary Lucas's loving homage to his pupil Jeff Buckley is chock full of fascinating details and minutia that apparently doomed their creative coupling from the get-go. There is no question that they are two tremendously gifted individuals, and that by joining forces they added magic to the world. And it is also quite apparent, especially when you listen to the music they created together, that theirs was a partnership that should have afforded them both so much more. Had Mr. Buckley not taken his solo flight, leaving Mr. Lucas and their Gods & Monsters to soldier on without him, who knows what magic might have been created from their continued collaboration.
At first glance some might misconstrue that Mr. Lucas and his tome are ego-tripping -- waxing poetic about his time spent with the venerated singer-songwriter Jeff Buckley,...

"Are you kidding me, man?!" composer Angelo Badalamenti howls jokingly when Rolling Stone asks him what he thought of Twin Peaks, the TV series he scored in the early Nineties. "It was really off the wall. I thought it was either going to sink violently down the drain or, hopefully, capture the intrigue of enthusiastic people conversing by the office water cooler on a Monday morning."

Box-office takings slumped in Australia last weekend as audiences seemed to tire of the almost non-stop flood of male-skewed films released since May.
So it wasn' a propitious time for the arrivals of British sci-fi comedy The World's End or Australian black comedy/horror pic 100 Bloody Acres.
The World's End, the saga of a lads' night out which is ruined by crazy, robot-like aliens, opened with $1.1 million. That's less than the debut of Hot Fuzz, the previous collaboration by director Edgar Wright and stars Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, which took $1.3 million six years ago. The publicity tour by Wright and the two leads might have been expected to translate to a stronger entry.
The feature debut of the brothers Colin and Cameron Cairnes, 100 Bloody Acres launched at six cinemas, taking less than $7,000 at the weekend, after one-session previews in Melbourne, Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide.
The top title was The Wolverine,...

People can, at times, simultaneously feel conflicting emotions of love and hate towards any person they have an intimate relationship with, particularly their parents. While it can be difficult to understand other people’s motivations, people learn to come to terms and understand the actions others take as they mature. This is the intense motivating factor in director Daniel Algrant’s new drama, Greetings From Tim Buckley, which is based on the true story of the title musician. In the film, Penn Badgley plays Tim Buckley’s son, Jeff, who doesn’t fully understand the respect his late father garnered until he truly looks into his father’s past.
Greetings From Tim Buckley follows young musician Jeff Buckley, as he rehearses for his public singing debut in 1991 at a Brooklyn tribute concert for his father, the late folk singer Tim Buckley. As he struggles with the legacy of a father he barely knew,...

Greetings from Tim Buckley
A promising young musician visits New York for a week to headline a tribute concert. He bonds with a young woman interning at the performance space, and they run around the city being chatty, artistic, and physically beautiful together. These would be the makings of a light and romantic film, except that the young man portrayed is musician Jeff Buckley in his early twenties and the concert he's been called for honors his father, prolific and renowned musician Tim Buckley, who breezed away from Jeff's mother before Jeff was born and died at age 28 without knowing his first child.
Greetings from Tim Buckley takes place in 1991. Tim Buckley is a beloved figure with a legacy; Jeff has musical gifts and a physical resemblance to his dad, but he has not yet established his own career. Nor does he think highly of his father: to him, Tim Buckley...

It's not an easy thing to play the girlfriend. Hollywood history is littered with actresses who have been cast a few times opposite high-profile male co-stars, and who even started making a name for themselves, but were destined to fade after just a few shots at big-screen girlfriend status. Imogen Poots, the 23-year-old British actress you may recognize from 28 Weeks Later or Jane Eyre, is on the rise, and that means-- you guessed it-- a lot of girlfriend parts. But in all of them, which includes the new film Greetings from Tim Buckley, you can see how she's making the most of it and turning these women not just into props for the male leads, but real characters. That's an especially hard job in Tim Buckley, in which Penn Badgley stars as a young Jeff Buckley, performing at a tribute concert for the father he barely knew, years before he...

Spring has arrived -- flowers and music in full bloom. Some of it only hints at what might be as summer approaches. Until then, here are few things I'm carting around in my wheelbarrow. Dig it.
"Spiderlegs" Danny Malone: Balloons (Dm)
Happy accident as I had no prior knowledge of Mr. Malone prior to listening to his new album, but no worries. Here's a wonderful folk-rock tune from this Austin-based singer/songwriter's second long-player. He recorded this set of confessional musings in a haunted 15th century castle in Denmark, each song in a different room. He calls his music "sexy, dirty, sad songs about the human condition." This remains my favorite track; and the video below is pretty bloody "sexy" too.

How do you tell a father and son story when they never knew each other? President Barack Obama achieved it in his contemplative best selling memoir, .Dreams of My Father" in which his biological father figures as a cipher that nevertheless casts an influential shadow over his entire life. Filmmaker Daniel Algrant faced a similar dilemma in telling the story of musical artists Tim Buckley and his son Jeff Buckley with the added challenge that neither is alive today. The result is a contemplative docudrama that explores the Buckley relationship by using a real-life 1991 tribute concert for Jeff in which son Tim is asked to participate and, in the reality of the film,...

Imogen Poots may not have known much about Tim Buckley when she started on Greetings From Tim Buckley, but after filming the musical biopic with Penn Badgley, she's an expert. I sat down with the actress at the Tribeca Film Festival, and she talked about the musical icon she'd love to play and what it was like working on a story about two late legends.

Penn Badgley takes on the role of singer Jeff Buckley in this week's Greetings From Tim Buckley, which follows a pre-fame Buckley as he comes to terms with his anger at the father he never knew.
Set in the days leading up to Buckley's debut public performance, at a 1991 tribute concert for his late father Tim Buckley, Daniel Algrant's drama sees Badgley give a versatile and subtle performance that'll allow you to forget all about Dan Humphrey.
Digital Spy caught up with Badgley to find out about his approach to the role, and the challenges of singing live on camera.
How familiar were you with Jeff Buckley's work before the script came your way?
"I was a fan. I was really moved by Jeff's Live at Sin-é album when I was about 17. I had fallen in love with that album and then mystified him as a figure but then,...

She's been juggling a plethora of projects as of late, but Imogen Poots found time to rock a few poses for the Spring 2013 issue of Bullett magazine.
The "28 Weeks Later" beauty teamed up with famed lensman Charlie Engman for some artistic shots and also shared her own musings on the acting game.
Check out GossipCenter's highlights from Miss Poot's interview below. For more, be sure to visit Bullett magazine!
On allowing herself to become an actress:
"I didn't know if I had permission to be an actor from the universe or from myself. I have this warped idea that if you really, really believe in something, you can make it a reality. I'm curious about the world and the way I intend to experience it is through this profession."
On what drew her to the Tim Buckley story:
"When I first read the script I fell in love with it,...

Biopics about famous musicians are usually guaranteed to attract audiences. In most cases, the subject has achieved a status in the industry which warrants a big screen telling of the story of their life. Here we have Greetings From Tim Buckley, a film that may or may not be a biopic at all.
The film follows Jeff Buckley, son of late celebrated musician Tim Buckley, as he is summoned to play a tribute concert for his deceased father in New York City. As rehearsals for the event unfold, Jeff is forced to confront the truth about the father he never knew, and find a way to accept it.
It’s hard to categorize a film like “Greetings”. While we mostly follow young Jeff Buckley – who like his father, passed away at a tragically young age – the film is interspersed with scenes featuring Tim Buckley at the height of his music career.

The Tribeca Film Festival makes a good number of their films available to watch on VOD, from anywhere in the country, and one of the most promising titles is Greetings From Tim Buckley, which stars Gossip Girl veteran Penn Badgley as the legendary musician Jeff Buckley.

The younger Buckley's performance at the tribute concert is credited for jump-starting his career in 1991, leading to the recording of his 1993 album Grace, which turned out to be his only one.

Scion of a folk music icon, Jeff Buckley followed his dad Tim's path to musical success until his death aged only 30. Rather than dwelling on the tragedy, Greetings From Tim Buckley majors on the lead-up to an episode in his life that linked him umbilically to his old man: a spine-chilling performance of Tim's songs at a 1991 tribute gig in New York. The film's new trailer (below) shows former Gossip boy Penn Badgley strap on the guitar to play Jeff. It's a seemingly gentle stroll along the hearthrob spectrum that must have tested his musical nous to its limits. Ben Rosenfield appears in flashback as Tim Buckley. brightcove.createExperiences();Those other familiar faces you might have spotted are Imogen Poots and William 'Col. Stuart' Sadler, who also appear in the drama.Greetings From Tim Buckley plays at Robert De Niro's Tribeca Film Festival later this month. Mr De Niro...
