...Cutie’s Ben Gibbard. On “One Fast Move or I’m Gone: Kerouac’s Big Sur,” Gibbard and Jay Farrar—of Son Volt and Uncle Tupelo fame—collaborate to craft a soundtrack to an upcoming documentary about Jack Kerouac’s 1967 novel “Big Sur.” Lyrics for the soundtrack are entirely drawn from the novel’s text, but while the project’s concept is intriguing, the album itself proves disappointing. Though certain tracks...

In an unfortunate set decision, the barricade blocking the entrance of the cave to hell goes flying, awkwardly disrupting the rhythm of the show. But unlike the soundtrack of “The Flies,” it was a forgivable error...

At 40, she has proven she can play a wide range of roles...
Your band member, Warren Ellis, helped you with the soundtrack. And you have another band called Grinderman that's basically made up of members from your original band, the Bad Seeds. All your projects involve the same people. Why? I have huge trust issues. That's basically it. I've worked with these guys for so long and we understand each other incredibly well, there's a near-psychic thing going on which means I can work incredibly fast. I don't have to explain things or teach anyone anything. It serves me well...
