Aaron Rose Interview permalinkWhile you might not know who Aaron Rose is, a solid handful of the artists we’ve posted on this blog (Geoff McFetridge, Barry McGee, Mike Mills, etc.) owe their some of their success to the visibility and promotion Aaron gave to them in the 90s. He’s probably most well known for curating the Beautiful Losers touring exhibit but he also has the following credits on his resume: writer, publisher, editor, musician and filmmaker. Flux spoke to Aaron about life and how he lives it. |

Mister Lonely permalinkHarmony Korine’s latest film, Mister Lonely, may actually walk a straight (albeit wacky) line. It follows the relationship between a Michael Jackson and Marilyn Monroe impersonator, who leave Paris for an impersonator’s utopia in the Scottish Highlands. Like we said: wacky...but awesome.

One California Day permalinkIt’s hard to sum up California, and even harder to sum up it’s surf culture and years of surf tradition. One California Day takes a stab at it by documenting six distinct coastal regions through the eyes of the surfers who live and surf there. It’s shot in lush 16mm so that ocean light just teases you to move out West. Check the trailer here.
