Looking Elsewhere: Trailering Malick; Burying “The Hobbit”; Christian Bale’s Bible Reading; and More!

Last updated on: December 21, 2014 at 3:35 pm By Jeffrey Overstreet

This week, in my community of arts-and-faith explorers, conversations have been focused on the joy of Christmas carols, the mixed feelings over a new Terrence Malick trailer, the predictably disappointing conclusion to Peter Jackson’s ruination of The Hobbit, some interesting conversations with the Exodus team, and the traditional year-end challenges of drafting various “Best of 2014” lists. I’m hard at work on my own lists of favorite films and albums from 2014. It’s a particularly challenging year for list-making, because I’ve seen fewer films than... Read more

The Bruised Hearts Revue Presents a Christmas Playlist

Last updated on: December 21, 2014 at 7:37 pm By Jeffrey Overstreet

One of the biggest musical surprises for me in 2014 was the discovery of a local Seattle band called The Bruised Hearts Revue. If you’re a fan of Wilco, Over the Rhine, Hank Williams, Willie Nelson, or Neko Case, you’ll hear their influences here. I’d have a hard time picking a favorite cut from the album, but if you want to sample just one song, try the title cut of their debut record — “As Bright as It Burns” — here... Read more

Sarah Masen Presents a Christmas Playlist

Last updated on: December 21, 2014 at 7:38 pm By Jeffrey Overstreet

I began listening to this post’s guest DJ late, and by a rather circuitous route. First, I discovered the writing of David Dark, whose books are among some of my favorite cultural commentaries. Then I began hearing about his immensely talented “better half”: Sarah Dark. Or, as she is better known: Sarah Masen. The name Sarah Masen rang a bell, but I still, to this day, do not understand how I missed her idiosyncratic art-pop records. Her distinctively ethereal vocal... Read more

Chris Willman Presents a Christmas Playlist

Last updated on: December 21, 2014 at 7:38 pm By Jeffrey Overstreet

I was already a fan of Chris Willman’s work in the early ’90s when he singled out U2’s greatly misunderstood, hastily dismissed album Pop as the #1 record of that year. I was glad to find somebody who was listening closely enough to appreciate the complexity and stylistic audacity of the record. I already knew about his appreciation for Bruce Cockburn. Many years later, I’d have the privilege of meeting him during a press junket for The Lord of the Rings: The... Read more
