It might be in another country and it might not be the biggest sport in the land of the long white cloud but the Superbowl XLVI Indianapolis goes down Monday New

They might not be as extravagant as the Golden Globes or the Academy Awards but the Producers Guild of America Awards tend to be a very influential set of award ceremonies More often than not the titular winner of the Theatrical Motion Pictures award will win the Oscar for that year And while these awards celebrate the producers as opposed to perhaps the actors directors or finished product itself what they represent is still worthy of note

So without naming the producersrsquo names that you probably wonrsquot have heard of anyway wersquoll tell you what title took the win in each category

WRiTTEn BY TiM GRuAR

Ginrsquos in fine form after a day of drinking ginger tea and taking interviews from her sydney home base irsquom last on the list but therersquos no jaded lady on the end of this phone

ldquoi like to fucking talk Tell me something interestingrdquo she banters Actually i want her to tell Me something interesting We chat about the Big Day Out gig just gone

ldquoYeah that was kind of weirdrdquo she says in reference to the crowd ldquoit was really the small Day Out it was weird lsquocause irsquove been going since i was fucking 15 and usually everyonersquos jostling around texting cause you canrsquot find each otherrdquo i ask how it feels to be on the stage of your youth on the other side as it were ldquoYeah still a blast Though i was more interested in performing than reflecting on the experiencerdquo

speaking of performing Ginrsquos planning to get on the road following the Aussie release of Gravel and Wine before heading off to the states ldquoUs crowds are so keenrdquo she enthuses ldquoThey come at the beginning of the night and want to see the support act theyrsquore keen for new music Touring in America everythingrsquos well set up there itrsquos all organisedrdquo

it was during her last sojourn to the states that Gin pulled together material to record Gravel and Wine Many of the elements that fed her music came from experiences like attending a full-on Gospel church service led by the Rev Al Green and an unexpected lsquodatersquo with a small town gentleman

ldquoi was in this tiny town of Clarksdale in the Deep south Mississippirdquo she recalls ldquoYou know it had one old shop i bought this guitar and this guy he must have been the only person in the town he was furious irsquod bought it He wanted it for himself i told him irsquod buy him lunch as a consolation He invited me to go see some cornfields and a BBQ We drove out in his old car and got to a bar He pulled out his pistol and thumped it on the fucking bar and says lsquoWhat do you think of thatrsquo He was asking me out on a date Whoardquo

Turns out itrsquos tales like that and encounters with other southern folk which played a huge part in the colour of this album ldquoThese old guys say lsquoYou from nu Zeeland You donrsquot know the blues Yo Rich Yo gotta be poorrsquo i was just there to learn you knowrdquo

it seems though that Gin took it all in her stride ldquoi got down to it and started writing working my nails down writing with every joker including a guy called Charlie who plays for a guy called Bob to get it all outrdquo she says ldquoWriting is cathartic in my songs irsquom slashing my lovers digging the graves and burying them drinking my self to death and then irsquom donerdquo ndash a tradition she started way back when she won the international song Writing contest in 2004 with a song about her late father (lsquoHallelujahrsquo)

irsquod noticed most of her material was about dark and torrid love yet as a person she was so upbeat and chirpy Was there a happy song in

there ldquoi dunno but your suggestion of more ukulele numbers with a Hawaiian feel is a possibilityrdquo no such luck on the new

album though a genuine product of her road trip When she finally swerved into beachside santa Monica to record

with Butch Walker and Jake sinclair there were 11 lsquotip toprsquo songs ready ldquoThat have the love of a cowboy bathed in a little lonesome blueshellip and the swagger of a woman past

midnightrdquoitrsquos those songs that will feature on the upcoming

Classic Hits Winery Tour a 13-date event shersquoll share with The Mutton Birds and Avalanche City ldquoi grew up a big The Mutton Birds fan so irsquom excited to play with them And Dave (Baxter Avalanche City) is so

hot right now itrsquos a great line-up Wersquore on the road for a month in summer with a wine bar at every stop Canrsquot waitrdquo

As DeMOnsTRATORs GATHeR in their thousands in syria and the Arab spring Tide sweeps a sea-change of power across the Middle east John Butlerrsquos words sound eerily prophetic ldquoTake back your feet take back your hands Take back your words take back your landsrdquo Butler sings on lsquoRevolutionrsquo the hit single from 2010rsquos April Uprising

ldquoi guess in one way or another revolution ndash people standing up for their own sovereignty and getting their own justice ndash has always been a big part of how i see the worldrdquo says the talented frontman ldquoPeople taking back their futures and their own realities and not letting other people decide it for themrdquo

Butler wasnrsquot singing then about the liberation of the Arab world ndashthe song was written in 2009 a year before protesters filled the streets of Tunisia ndash but instead about his own history

ldquoMy great-great-grandfather was part of an uprising called the April Uprising in 1875 to emancipate his people from the oppression of the Ottoman empirerdquo Butler says with audible pride

But that was only the start of Aprilrsquos significance for him 100 years later on April 1 1975 John Butler was born in April 2009 he broke up the last trio bringing in bassist Byron Luiters and drummer nicky Bomba and in April 2010 their new album was released

ldquoso April Uprising became this metaphor for change and spiritual revolution musical revolution personal revolutionrdquo Butler says

As influential as his past was on the album ndash ldquoit definitely changed who i wasrdquo he reflects ndash it served more as a positive affirmation than a total rebirth ldquoWhen you discover your roots it makes your tree a lot strongerrdquo he says

That reinforcement would provide a foundation for the record which builds on Butlerrsquos trademark potpourri of blues rock and roots Those influences still abound but Butlerrsquos new affinity for songwriting delivers a refined sound not heard in earlier work

ldquoThe biggest most conscious change was just trimming all the fat off everythingrdquo he says ldquoi just wanted to see if i could write good songs that held water by themselvesrdquo

Grand instrumental arrangements stretched to 10 and 20 minutes on previous releases but April Uprising is an exercise in poetic restraint

ldquoAs much as irsquom very much into elongated musical movements this time around i wasnrsquot fully inspired to do thatrdquo comments Butler ldquoitrsquos saying a lot more with fewer words in a less naiumlve and obvious wayrdquo

so while the ingredients are vintage John Butler the approach was distinctly new new too was the level of involvement by his band-mates whose fingerprints are more visible than on any album before

ldquoi donrsquot care if itrsquos Byronrsquos idea or Johnrsquos idea or nickyrsquos idea or my wifersquos idea Whatever sounds good is all that matters

ldquoThatrsquos one thing that has become more and more important as i continue being a musician and a performer and a recording artist irsquom not really in charge the song is in chargerdquo says Butler ldquoitrsquos always a good thing to remember ndash serve the song donrsquot let the song serve yourdquo

October 2011 sees the three-piece coming off a three and a half month tour of europe Brazil and north America and Butler says their road act is better than it has ever been

ldquoWersquove really hit our stride and itrsquos consistently a lot of funrdquoTheir shows are a delight to behold as between them they burn

through a veritable orchestra of stringed instruments ndash featuring banjos 12 strings and lap steel guitars and double basses The excitement on stage is palpable and it shows in their faces as they swap grins on extended percussive jams

ldquoitrsquos about being in the moment and trying to let whatever is coming through come through as purely as possible i never know what that is all i know is that when irsquom present and in that moment the good stuff comes Thatrsquos not something that you can just make happenrdquo Butler says

new Zealand audiences got a taste of that magic at the Big Day Out last year and Butler says hersquos excited to return in february for the More fM summer Vineyard Tour

ldquoirsquom excited because i get to spent more than a week in Aotearoardquo he tells me ldquonew Zealandrsquos a beautiful country and itrsquos so rare to able to actually play outdoors in new Zealand at that time of yearrdquo

DEATH cAB FoR cuTiE BAssisT nicK HARMER TALKED To KEvin KARTun ABouT coMinG To ouR sHoREs FoR FoR THE FiRsT TiME To PLAY AT THE nEW zEALAnD inTERnATionAL ARTs FEsTivAL AnD WHAT THE BAnD cAn EXPEcT FRoM KiWi FAns

ldquoOVeR THe YeARs everybodyrsquos been really nice to us which is great i feel like wersquove got a good rapport with our fans and we havenrsquot had anyone get weird i think wersquore pretty lucky in that regard But itrsquos always nice to meet people after the show and say hi We try our best to shake hands and say hellordquo

so says Death Cab for Cutiersquos nick Harmer the bassist of a band that has around 15 years of label hopping and indie royalty under its belt

fandom would of course come in waves for the seattle band After being signed to the likes of sub-Pop Atlantic Warner and more their latest release Codes And Keys has brought the often loved band back from the forgotten corners of many musical minds

seven studio releases over 14 years may not be perceived as a significant number of endeavours but Death Cab may very well be known more for their live performances than their back catalogue A perfect example can be seen in their live video of lsquoYou Are A Touristrsquo which was the first ever scripted single-take music video production to be broadcast live as it was filmed Part marketing strategy and part art for artrsquos sake the video was a hit with Death Cab fans new and old alike Criticsrsquo opinions of the video were fell on both sides of the fence but a resounding appreciation for the concept and execution was heard throughout the blogosphere

When it comes to new Zealand Harmerrsquos understanding of the country is as common as most foreigners who have never visited ldquoAre the flight of the Conchords guys national treasures i hear their faces are going on moneyrdquo he jokes

The one-off show at the New Zealand International Arts Festival on

Wednesday 01 february will be the first time that the band has played in new Zealand in their 15-odd years of touring

ldquoirsquom really excitedrdquo says Harmer ldquowersquove had lots of friends that have gone over and itrsquos actually shameful that wersquove been to Australia so many times but this is only our first time [in nZ]rdquo

Harmer says that he and the rest of the Death Cab crew are hoping to get some time in travelling around the country but with as for any major international act their time here will be stretched thin ldquofrom Australia wersquore going to new Zealand and from there wersquore going to do some southeast Asia shows i hope long enough that we can see some of the country and explore a little bitrdquo

i go back to the idea of the wide array of fans of the band Having been one of the originators of the indie-pop sound that made waves in the early 21st century and growing into an international act that has the capability budget and a much-needed audience to pull off something like the live-stream of lsquoYou Are A Touristrsquo sided by the fact that they just look like good dudes irsquom convinced that Death Cab are the approachable boys of alt-rock kingdom so whatrsquos the best way to get an autograph shake a hand or see some babies get kissed

ldquoi would say just come down to the venue early Whenever we get to a new place and wersquore not really sure where to go we definitely like to explore but we always just hang around near the venuerdquo

And has that friendliness ever got them in trouble Has for example a fan ever sent the band a Polaroid of one of the membersrsquo lips

ldquoWhat like when wersquore sleepingrdquo Harmer laughs ldquono nothing crazy like that nothing too insanerdquo

coming soon cyborggamingcom

as a musician gamer and avid filmgoer the similarities and differences of the markets have had me thinking a lot recently that the movie and music industries could probably learn a lot from the gaming world right now I had no idea when I started investigating this just how colossal the gaming industry has become

Some of the figures Irsquove found are mindboggling and Irsquove come to realise that my iPhone and Mac calculators canrsquot even cope with the numbers being generated For example in November last year the multi-platform release of Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 saw it set a new five-day entertainment record grossing $775 million globally

Before I get too carried away with stats though itrsquos no secret that the music and movie industries have been struggling to find new models to deal with the advent of the digital age and as such digital consumerism CD sales have been in decline for years and are fast becoming an archaic luxury item such as vinyl Box office sales have likewise been falling The question is ndash why

The cost of going to the cinema is now ludicrous more often than not and although 3D (when used effectively) is worth the trip simply adding it on after the movie is shot and charging $20 to see it makes me feel like Peter Griffin after a prostate exam On the other hand there are films that you enjoy more when seeing them at the cinema A movie like Drive for example is well worth the cinematic experience immersing yourself in the whole surround-sound and large screen experience seeing and participating in the film according to the directorrsquos wishes Price isnrsquot the be all and end all on the audio side of things but Napster made music essentially worthless for a while by the ease of downloading for free This I would venture though was a direct backlash to the unaffordable prices (especially for kids) of buying music Movies are having their own Napster moment with torrenting or rar file-sharing sites (and you know yoursquove used them you dirty little downloader you)

A separate issue is the ridiculous nature of staggered global film releases The same

gaMing vs Movies amp MusiCwhy iS gaMing taking aLL our MoneyS

has to be said for TV shows where at least with the advent of the Soho channel wersquoll only be two weeks behind the US for Game of Thrones in April Is two weeks a long time to wait If yoursquore a diehard fan then the answer is a resounding ldquofuck yesrdquo especially when the films and shows are available on a raft of websites ndash Kim Dotcom anyone

Now look at gaming A game has a worldwide release date and stores do the midnight opening thing to make sure that fans can get hold of what they want exactly when they want it before everyone else They also add value to their products by providing an online community and free downloadable content (DLC) which enhances the games if you purchase them legitimately Not only does this make you want to buy the proper game but also the DLCs can cost around $15 which ends up netting the developers even more cash for something that back in the day they probably wouldrsquove just had in the game anyway

Price is not a factor given you deliver what the consumer wants which can be seen with games like Wii Sports Resort having an RRP of around $130

So what does this mean according to numbers that bigwig suits understand Apologies for my rudimentary math but Irsquom just using these figures to make a point not for historical accuracy Adelersquos album 21 topped the charts for 2011 selling 153 million units globally which at an average of $19unit comes to over $290 million Comparatively in the movie world Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 raked in almost $467 million Call of Duty MW3 on Xbox 360 and PS3 alone raked in more than $27 billion (units sold globally multiplied by RRP of $119) Top 10 gross figures in

GamING

each industry combined of 2011 were (approximately) Music ndash $870 million Movies ndash $3 billion and gaming way out ahead on $8 billion (yes $8 billion)

You also have to factor in though that people have initially bought the hardware to play these games on Nintendo have sold 947 million Wii consoles to date leading Xbox 360 PS3 and Nintendo 3DS on 642 million 61 million and 153 million respectively (according to vgchartzcom) It really is just an astronomical growth industry with no signs of slowing It is interesting to think that so much of peoplersquos entertainment budget is being invested into gaming which leads me to ask just why that is Itrsquos never been cool to be a gamer but so many of us are now ndash thanks to our iPhone and Smartphone apps and an aging console gaming population

Music at least has light at the end of the tunnel in terms of earning revenue for artists There is the argument that getting someonersquos music for free may lead you to buy more of their work in the future or attend their live shows However Irsquom sure most artists would like to see a return on the time effort and expense that goes into recording and producing their music Bjork has shown the way forward by adding value through apps Biophillia was released as an iPad app with each song having its own app contained within it with bonus content and interactive features

Digital sales now account for a third of the market globally and the advent of cloud servers and subscription-based services could really tip the scales back to legal purchasing of music Why Because itrsquos cheap easy and with added value it makes sense to do so With movieshellip who knows Are they going to learn the lessons of Christmases past or plough on believing they can stop the rot that theyrsquore really just pouring water onto rather than drying What happens when all of our televisions are 3D

Is it finally getting cool to be a gamer I bet it feels good to be a game developer right nowhellip

aLbum REvIEWS

Forget being Bjorn again This the second effort from Swedish Soumlderberg sisters is a huge improvement on their debut The Big Black and Blue Produced by Mike Mogis who also performs on several tracks it has a slightly darker feel due in part to contributions from Bright Eyesrsquo Conor Oberst and The Felice Brothers And therersquos a definite confidence and maturity in the assured indie-country sound which draws influence and sustenance from the likes of Laura Marling and Mumford amp Sons

The title track has that moody infectious folk-hook common to the work of Unthank Sisters while lsquoEmmyloursquo shows an uncanny mimicry of their idol Harris

would definitely approve of the journey-like train-clacking percussion and pessimistic optimism in the lyrics Closer lsquoKing of the Worldrsquo is a satisfying clap-along hoedown courtesy of Oberst and some very clever horns and fiddle-dee-dees

But despite the new directions minor in the in the whole Klara and Johannarsquos singing is still distinctive clear and utterly beautiful especially in their modulated bell-like harmonies

WRITTEN BY TIM GRUAR

itrsquos tough to make the call and say that reM are money-grabbing with this record ndash a double album that spans their career history picking and choosing a healthy dose of the obscure and the wildly popular

With any bandrsquos implosion or split comes a desperate attempt by their label to milk the last of the cash cow and any cynic could approach Part Lies with that mindset but the liner notes tell a different story band members past and present including an occasional non-committal paragraph from Michael Stipe recall spikier tracks like the Letterman-only lsquoSo Central Rainrsquo with the same breath of vitality as mega-hit lsquoLosing My Religionrsquo

Rather than squeeze every last dollar from the break up Part Lies is intended as a stop-end to their career something that stands a testament and true

WRITTEN BY JAMES A ROBINS

never known for their subtlety Biohazard make belligerent groove metal with a heart of furious punk rock like it was going out of fashion

The lsquo90s Brooklyn hardcore pioneers sound is reinvigorated by the return to their original line-up for this their ninth album Singer Evan Seinfeld still barks like a junkyard dog and his lyrics are as blunt and artless as they have ever been The placid intro to lsquoKilling Mersquo is startling in its softness but it does not last very long and is usurped by the forced rap metal of lsquoCountdown Doomrsquo

Reborn in Defiance is a throwback to the early to mid lsquo90s when bands like Anthrax Helmet and Butthole Surfers ruled MTV The reunion of this band however was short-lived Seinfeld has already left to once again turn his attention to the adult film industry

WRITTEN BY RICARDO KERR

if you arenrsquot used to British vocalists you may need the first couple of tracks to adjust on the Big pinkrsquos Future This The chorus of lsquoStay Goldrsquo the albumrsquos first track is the first hook into the carefully orchestrated sound that has depth colour and texture But admittedly there are times where The Big Pink recklessly walks the line between crowded and perfectly timed

The genre-fusing electro-rock string combination on Track lsquo77rsquo and the drums of lsquoHit The Ground (Superman)rsquo are emotionally affecting both lyrically and musically Itrsquos the consciousness of knowing that rock can be boring that gives this band one of its most beautiful traits ndash the willingness to push the envelope with a sound that risks being mundane Future This avoids a collision with banality by incorporating cellos and violins great lyrics infectious vocal hooks and choruses that allow the vocals to soar above the music to show off Milorsquos ability

david Fincherrsquos made some strange career choices (Benjamin Button anyone) but adapting Stieg Larssonrsquos best-selling Scandinavian door-stopper might well be the weirdest For one thing itrsquos already been done pretty well in 2009 For another the first half of the story ndash a rather lame murder mystery enlivened by a

i am not a fan of the previous films by screenwriter diablo Cody (Jenniferrsquos Body) or director Jason reitman (Up In The Air) and their last collaboration together (Juno) was hardly the Second Coming So I went into Young Adult without a huge amount of excitement

Turns out though this is one of the best contemporary dramas to come along in years Charlize Theron is at her absolute best playing a shallow and charmless writer who returns to her tiny hometown to awkwardly woo a former flame (Patrick Wilson)

Theron is a wonder in this film and her lack of an Oscar nomination for this is nothing less than criminal She manages to embrace her characterrsquos awfulness while delivering a raw

multi-dimensional performance that demands audience empathy

Alternative comedy superstar Patton Oswalt (Big Fan) is great as the schlub she ends up befriending and plenty of talent fill out the supporting roles

This film reminded me somewhat of the underrated dramedy In Her Shoes another film that shows just how satisfying a well-realised character arc can be Young Adult doesnrsquot proffer easy resolutions to the issues it throws up but therersquos something for everyone to relate to here

The only distracting element was the surfeit of fast food product placement but I guess we should get used to that

fascinating central character in troubled hacker Lisbeth Salander (Mara) ndash is 90 exposition meets 10 sexual assault Fincherrsquos also retained the bookrsquos Swedish setting and names so itrsquos not even a sop to the subtitle-averse

STARRING CHARLIZE THERON PATRICK WILSON AND PATTON OSWALT

disappointingly little As before nobody seems willing to snip Larssonrsquos narrative string so we trudge through a series of wearying introductions to interchangeable old men (Plummer Berkoff Skarsgard) each of whom has a long-buried secret No scene lasts longer than 30 seconds except those depicting Salander getting abused which feel endless It is to put it lightly a difficult watch

Although Craig is a commanding presence as crusading journalist Mikael Blomkvist itrsquos not until he and Salander join forces that film emerges from its predecessorrsquos shadow When it does itrsquos riveting ndash the leadsrsquo strange chemistry (think little girl lost meets handsome dad)

crackles and Fincher has a real talent for making people looking through files seem fascinating (see Zodiac) Although the excitement subsides after a terrific early climax itrsquos an effective if unfathomable entry in the Fincher canon If yoursquove seen the original knock a star off the rating If you havenrsquot seen either watch this one

itrsquos rare for a director to strike the right chord with every film but alexander payne has seemingly managed it Moving on from his success with Sideways Election and About Schmidt The Descendants will leave you with the same admiration for the guy he knows how to write about middle-aged men in a slump

George Clooney is his new fall guy Matt King and the actor expertly shucks off his cocksure swagger to play a hands-off dad confronting loss responsibility and history in an extraordinarily nuanced performance And as much as Mattrsquos character sees his island lsquoparadisersquo as a myth the stunning backdrop of Hawaii makes for a much more eye-pleasing setting than most

The complexity of Mattrsquos predicament is handled with wit grace and often disgrace each of the family forced to work together and at times suppress their true desires in lieu of the greater good Even the supposedly superficial characters ndash Alexrsquos stoner friend Sid and the sunny wife of Mattrsquos wifersquos lover ndash emerge as three-dimensional humans trying to forge the best path through lifersquos rough patches

Payne says he hates sentimentality and other than a few drawn-out tearjerker moments towards the end The Descendantsrsquo crude-talking kids subvert any mushiness But for the most part this is a moving tale
