Horse Vision. Horsegirl. Horse Jumper of Love. Too many bands with “horse” in their name. Note that there are many animals to choose from when naming your band.

We’re barely a month in and 2025 is already a mess, but at least FKA Twigs did us the courtesy of dropping an album of the year contender very early.

It may be without distribution but if you live in NYC, No Other Land will be playing at Film Forum starting January 31st. Make the time.

La Práctica: maybe my pick for most underrated film of the year. Looks terrific and so dryly funny, like Sturges by way of Bresson.
