TIFF 2012 Gets Skrillex, Spike Lee And A Jeff-Tim Buckley Film

Spike Lee and Skrillex

Spike Lee and Skrillex

The Toronto International Film Festival announced a number of new movies that would be showing at the event and there were a few music ones amongst the names.

The highest profile would probably be Spike Lee‘s Michael Jackson documentary Bad 25 about Jacko’s Bad album. Next is Harmony Korine‘s Spring Breakers and its soundtrack by Skrillex. Then there’s Greetings From Tim Buckley, which is probably the lowest profile of the three, but likely the most interesting to record collector types.

Anyway, Sarah wrote a recap about this for Spinner. You can read more by clicking here.

Hanson’s “Michael Jackson Theory” Of Music Making

Hanson

Some of you will be unbelieving of this, but Hanson, they of that song “MMMbop” from about 15 years ago, are still at it and are rather legit.

So legit, in fact, that one of the brothers is in a side-project band with one of the guys who used to be in the Smashing Pumpkins.

But when Sarah talked to the brothers recently that wasn’t what they were talking about. No, they were more into talking about soul music and Canada and how they make music according to something called the “Michael Jackson theory” — it apparently involves sleepovers, elephant man bones and setting your hair on fire (kidding). It’s mostly about rhythm and melody.

Anyway, to read the resulting story that ran on AOL Music Blog, click here.
