“I love movies, I love telling stories,” Rodrigo said. “I really want to do a coming-of-age thing maybe before I’m actually of age. Maybe I am of age already.” She added, “I just love telling stories, whether that be in a song or movie, that...

They made a legitimate claim to the classic rock throne in the 1970s, but Pink Floyd’s discography spanned decades. Many listeners misunderstood their biggest hit, and while the songs might be open to interpretation, the order of Pink Floyd’s albums is set and stone.
The five Pink Floyd members created 15 studio albums
Aside from a few early concerts, Pink Floyd only operated as a quartet. Still, the shadow of Syd Barrett loomed over the band for years, even after they moved on without him.
Barrett put Pink Floyd on the map as the singer, primary songwriter, and lead guitarist. He and bandmates Roger Waters (bass), Richard Wright (keyboards), and Nick Mason (drums) established themselves as the flagship band for psychedelic underground London in 1967. By the end of the year, Barrett was already on the path toward his post-Floyd life.
His mental disintegration — likely attributed to an underlying mental...

Nate Smith reckons with the memory of an old flame in the music video for “World on Fire.” The song first rolled out in April for the deluxe version of his self-titled debut album and follows the success of his breakout radio hit, “Whiskey on You.”
The clip sees the country singer and his band perform against a blazing background as Smith roars out the chorus, “You set my world on fire/Yeah, it’s all long gone/I’m watching flames get higher/And I can’t move on.

Before they became a classic rock staple that churned out memorable tunes and underrated songs, Pink Floyd fought and clawed to attain popularity. Yet an early breakthrough led to a BBC TV appearance that keyboard player Rick Wright called the worst thing he ever did.
Pink Floyd’s Rick Wright said ‘it was horrible’ for the band to appear on ‘Top of the Pops’
Appearing on national television is a break most musicians would relish.
For Pink Floyd, it was both a blessing and a curse.
The blessing was getting on Top of the Pops a few weeks before their debut album hit shelves. The curse was realizing they didn’t have what it took to survive the music industry machine.
Floyd’s Syd Barrett-penned “See Emily Play” spent five weeks in the top 10 of England’s singles chart from mid-July to mid-August 1967. That placement garnered a spot on...

Pink Floyd had one of the most remarkable reinventions of any classic rock band. The psychedelic pioneers lost their creative leader when they parted ways with Syd Barrett in 1968. After searching for a way forward without him, they eventually found their path and became one of the biggest bands of the 1970s with the impactful The Dark Side of the Moon. That album was a cornerstone of their career, but several underrated Pink Floyd songs from the band’s catalog deserve recognition. (All songs presented in chronological order).
1. ‘The Nile Song’ Album: More
Pink Floyd’s first effort without any contribution from Barrett was their soundtrack to the 1969 movie More. Without their mercurial leader and with the freedom to create for someone else’s project instead of their own album, the band showed off a range of styles. “The Nile Song” proved to be the most unprecedented song on the tracklist.

Spoiler Alert: Do not read ahead if you have not watched season four of “The Crown.”
The latest season of hit Netflix series “The Crown” is ruffling all sorts of feathers in the U.K. as the families of those depicted in the drama have begun speaking out about their portrayals.
After three seasons, the Peter Morgan-created show finally marks the arrival of Princess Diana as well as her troubled marriage to Prince Charles in season 4 — a chapter of the award-winning drama that Morgan deems “the first of the modern series.” As it inches closer to the current day, however, the show is also facing more intense scrutiny.
Lady Diana’s brother, Charles Spencer (also known as Earl Spencer), who has always been a fierce guardian of his sister’s legacy, is concerned that the general public will treat the series as fact and not a fictitious version of real-life events.

“It’s so cringey,” said Emma Corrin, who stars as Princess Diana in Season 4 of Netflix’s “The Crown.” “It’s the worst.”
“It’s so uncomfortable,” agreed Josh O’Connor, who, as Prince Charles, is Corrin’s frequent scene partner. “It’s so horrible. I’m so sorry.”
Here’s the thing about playing the British royal family’s two very famous star-crossed lovers — there are any number of based-on-real-life scenes with Corrin and O’Connor in “The Crown” that they could be talking about. Is it the duo’s terrible engagement interview, where it becomes very apparent that Charles has little interest in his future bride? Is it the press conference in Australia where Diana fumbles incredibly basic questions about their trip Down Under? Is it when Charles watches aghast as attention-starved Diana does a surprise dance to Billy Joel’s “Uptown Girl” in front of a packed audience at the Royal Opera House?...

The buzziest storyline for season four of The Crown is best described during the penultimate episode, "Avalanche," when Princess Anne (Erin Doherty) sits Queen Elizabeth II (Olivia Colman) down for a foreboding conversation. "Once upon a time, there was a beautiful young girl who fell madly in love with a handsome prince," Anne says. "Unfortunately, the prince was already in love with someone else, who was herself in love with someone else—and they all lived unhappily ever after. That's it, in a nutshell. Do you need more?" Anne, of course, is referring to the marriage of Prince Charles (Josh O'Connor) and Princess Diana (Emma Corrin), a tempestuous romance...

One of the lesser-known royal-adjacent tragedies is depicted in season four of The Crown: Prince Charles's 1988 skiing accident. The episode, appropriately named "Avalanche," reveals how Charles nearly died - and one of his friends actually did - in a sudden avalanche on a steep Swiss mountain.
According to The Guardian, the avalanche occurred on Gotschnagrat Mountain at the Klosters ski resort, one of the steepest slopes in Switzerland, when an unexpected avalanche came down on the royal party. Other royals on the trip, including Princess Diana and Sarah, Duchess of York, had stayed behind while Charles led a group for an off-road run. His friend, Major Hugh Lindsay, was a 34-year-old army officer and former equerry to the Queen, with a pregnant wife at home. The avalanche began without warning and quickly approached Charles and his party, who were standing still in between ski runs. Prince Charles was able...

The six-part HBO documentary series I’ll Be Gone in the Dark may have concluded last month, but Aimee Mann has just released a full version of the opening theme: her cover of Leonard Cohen’s “Avalanche.”
Sharing the same cover art as Cohen’s 1971 album Songs of Love and Hate, Mann’s rendition of the track ups the original’s instrumentation, with a haunting string arrangement to accompany her vocals. “You who wish to conquer pain/You must learn what makes me kind,” she sings. “The crumbs of love that...

Berlin-based Flare Film is continuing its focus on international productions with German filmmaker Bastian Günther’s “Avalanche,” which just wrapped principal photography in Louisiana.
The timely social drama, which stars Carrie Preston (“Claws”) and British thesp Joe Cole (“A Prayer Before Dawn”), is set in America’s troubled social and cultural environment and explores the caustic repercussions of extreme capitalism that exploits underprivileged people for profit and entertainment.
The story follows the marketing manager of a small-town car dealership, played by Preston, who organizes an endurance contest in which 20 down-on-their-luck contenders compete to win a new pickup truck, and a young contestant (Cole) hoping for a better life.
The drama marks producer and Flare Film managing director Martin Heisler’s third collaboration with Günther after his debut feature, “Autopilots,” and his 2013 Sundance screener “Houston,” which was likewise set in the U.S.
