(Madsyeah) Poem pt 1. Read by Lisa Dwan.
My directorial debut! I’ve been dressing up as Carrington the Clown—a cackling, chain-smoking hooligan who means well but too often surrounds himself with delinquents—for about two years now. After hearing ‘The Grey Cardinal,’ I envisioned Carrington getting drugged by a devious sex pot waitress, losing all his money in a poker game, and wandering round the streets of Las Vegas, tripping out of his mind while struggling to find a hotel room. The video was a great excuse to road trip with friends to some of my favorite places and to also make a video of all my favorite things: men with rosy cheeks and over-glossed lips, blemmyes, mermaids, strippers, and, of course, Carrington the Clown.
On storytelling, and other things my grandmother taught me.

Cults
Madeline Follin & Brian Oblivion create lo-fi, static, slightly schizophrenic music. Originating in New York City, the two joined forces in 2010 to form their band, Cults. With playful rhythms & ominous undertones, what better show to attend on Halloween?
On October 31 I found myself at The Fillmore amidst an intimate crowd of thirty. Next to me stood a group of four who were somewhat separate from the rest of us. Dressed in bloody hospital outfits, their faces were obscured in haunting white powder & crimson stains of faux blood. The group exchanged glances of mutual understanding, as if there was some sort of secret only they were aware of. Anticipating the show, I felt jolts of electricity after the opening band exited the stage. Inattentive in the midst of the hype, I failed to notice the vanishing of the four who had previously stood beside me.
Soon enough, the speakers began spurting out static, queuing the set. The crowd of werewolves & witches went wild as four figures stepped onto the stage. I recognized their hospital consumes immediately. Follin & Oblivion nodded at their bandmates, & the show began. Swaying back & forth, Cults bewitched the crowd with composed cacophony. Retro television screens scattered the stage, displaying flashes of synthetic light. The ominous undertones of “High Road” & playful rhythms of “Most Wanted” kept the audience both baffled & intrigued, never wanting the trance to end.
Phantogram
Phantogram’s hazy synths & ambiguous nocturnal beats provoke longing and thoughts of night drives, their emotionally intense melodies hint at life’s transitory phases. The duo, made up of Sarah Barthel & Josh Carter, will be playing at The Fillmore in Charlotte, North Carolina on June 25.

MJ: When did you start making music?
Sarah Barthel: I've been playing the piano & singing my whole life, but never had training or took it seriously until I met up with Josh. Around 2005 we started writing music.
MJ: How did you & Josh meet? What motivated you guys to get serious about music, & has that motivation altered since you first began?
SB: I actually knew him in junior high school. We mostly just wanted to make music that we wanted to listen to. We were at a point when we were pretty bored with what was coming out of the music scene. We had some interesting ideas as to how we could make some fresher sounding songs, & we just started writing for ourselves. Luckily it caught on & people dug it as well.
MJ: This year you & Josh collaborated with Big Boi from Outkast. How did you guys team up with him?
SB: He actually made our song "Mouthful of Diamonds" the song of the week on his website. I hit him up on twitter basically saying thanks & that we were into his music as well. From then on we became friends while on the same tour circuit doing festivals.
MJ: What are the major themes running through your album Voices?
SB: We got the name for the album from one of our songs called "Black Out Days". The line is, "I'm hearing voices all the time. I'm hearing voices & they're haunting my mind." That's really the best way to explain the album & our emotions at the time we were writing. We wanted to make something that people could travel with. We write dark, heavily emotional songs, but there's always the light at the end of the tunnel. There's always this element of hopefulness that is really important to our music.
MJ: As you hear a song of yours & play it live repeatedly, does it lose significance or gain new meaning?
SB: Absolutely. That's really imperative to the dynamic of our songs... The audience needs to always feel this undercurrent of sensations when we perform live. Any band needs to have a passionate emotional connection to perform a song with full accuracy. We leave the idea behind our lyrics open & vague enough for them to transfer into everyday life & everyday feeling. It's like we've started this painting & we want the audience to fill in their own thoughts. Our songs are ambiguous enough to mean something to everyone.
