Two French Rock Gods, Gaspard and Xavier, also known as Justice, released their live CD & DVD combo, A Cross The Universe, this week. The CD consists of thunderous crowd screaming renditions of tracks from their 2nd album Cross. However, the DVD is really the most interesting part. On their 3-week tour of the US of A, Justice brought along two directors to film every single moment of the band, and that’s exactly what they did. The film is a montage of all sorts of unexpected things that happened along the tour, with a little bit of live rocking mixed in between, but really not a lot. Here’s a little list of moments you’ll witness in the film: drinking, fighting, groupies, shooting guns (and several interesting arguments for the right to bear arms), religous iconography, roid ragers moshing, insane American fans, bleeding, strobes (the film will definitely cause epileptic seizures), sex, Sam Elliott as the Justice bus driver, and like I said, some rocking.
PG-Rated teaser after the jump, if you want the real NSFW trailer you’ll have to find it on YouTube yourself (It’s the fifth one down).

Thanks to a tip from Matt Bednarik, I finally got around to watching Heima, a stunning concert documentary (Netflix here) that follows the group during a 2006 series of unannounced shows in their native Iceland. Startling cinematography and sound design, and the best concert documentary I’ve seen since The Last Waltz. What Wilco’s film could have [...]

Bicycling is a big thing at our office, the majority of us who live in the city bike to work everyday. Some of use even cycle competitively, and there’s a whole group of us who bike to and from Philly’s best bars on a regular basis. That’s why I thought these two things would be [...]
