For Lauren Bacall fans, it was the chance of a lifetime. A two-day auction of the late screen legend's artwork and belongings - from treasured pieces of jewelry to her Louis Vuitton luggage - sold at auction Tuesday and Wednesday for $3.64 million. The entire Lauren Bacall Collection brought in a total of $5 million after Bonhams New York auctioned off two of the actress's prized Henry Moore bronze sculptures for more than $1.3 million in November. "We have been humbled by the worldwide outpouring of enthusiasm for this sale," said Bonhams vice president Jon King, who orchestrated the sale and was a friend of Bacall's.

On a high floor in the famous Dakota building in New York City's Upper West Side lived screen legend Lauren Bacall. Surrounded by personal treasures, the late actress spent more than 30 years in the space, decorating it with memories that spanned decades. Following Bacall's death in August, an estimated $3 million worth of her jewelry and art will be auctioned off March 31 and April 1 at Bonhams New York. Her Manhattan home is also now up for sale. Valued at $26 million (she bought the property in 1961 for $48,000), the luxe apartment overlooks Central Park at 1 W. 72nd St. in a landmark building...

As January draws to a close, bringing with it some of the slowest sales weeks we’ve seen since the 1991 dawn of the Nielsen SoundScan era, we end the month with a slate of tasty critical releases. However, none are likely to stoke the chart fires. Jan. 25 brings new sets from Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Wanda Jackson (with a little help from Jack White), Corrine Bailey Rae, Talib Kweli, Iron and Wine and Gang of Four’s first set in 14 years. Corinne Bailey Rae, “The Love Ep” (Capitol): British songstress is all about amore on this five-song covers...

Andy Gill has claimed that Red Hot Chili Peppers based their career on his post-punk band Gang Of Four. The guitarist told Metro that the Anthony Kiedis-fronted group are happy to acknowledge their debt to his band, who this week released new studio album Content. Of people copying the Gang Of Four sound, Gill said: "I'm used to it now. The Red Hot Chili Peppers have obviously based their career on Gang Of Four and they'd admit that. "The guitar on their single 'Can't Stop' was directly from one of our early songs and when I (more)...

It’s interesting that The Ex’s Catch My Shoe is being released the same day as Gang Of Four’s Content. Although there are similarities between the two bands—both of them formed in the late ’70s, playing scratchy, leftist post-punk—The Ex never broke up, never became hip, and never had to subject itself to sad attempts at comebacks. Above all, though, The Ex differs from Gang Of Four in this way: The collective of Dutch anarchists and British expats has only gotten stronger and more experimental over the years. That said, Catch My Shoe marks the biggest ...

Gang Of Four’s early run of propulsive, funk-inflected punk set an impossible standard to follow, though a million bands have tried. Content, its first album of new material since 1995’s Shrinkwrapped, finds the British group in the awkward position of trying to sound the most like Gang Of Four. “Who am I when everything is me?” vocalist Jon King asks on “Who Am I,” and while he’s addressing self-obsessed 21st-century society, he might as well mean the last decade of music, when seemingly everyone who discovered Entertainment! formed a band. Content also revisits the immediacy of that ...

The Black Swan soundtrack. There are many wondrously skilled musicians across the globe whose bands have dispersed before their time, who have not been fortunate enough to be in a Radiohead, or a Red Hot Chili Peppers, a Queens Of The Stone Age or a Green Day. No appearance on Cribs for them, few residual sales, sod all in the savings account, almost nothing of monetary value to show for five or eight or twelve years making records and being in magazines. For these musicians their creative life becomes back-story, and out of necessity they forge new careers – maybe in production like Ian Broudie (The Lightning Seeds) or in criticism like Andy Gill (Gang of Four). The vast majority fade away, go to work in suits and ties, open a vegetarian cafe or a bar, start a sub-par later-life band and tour provincial town halls, or, like the lead singer...

A little side note, before I jump into this item. If you’ll just enter “Walker’s Wheelhouse” for a moment, as Michelle calls it. I’ve mentioned John Richards at Kexp and what an amazing DJ he is before, but this morning he is Really killing it. He’s played Dead Kennedys, The Hold Steady, Fugazi, The Clash, The Modern Lovers, Public Enemy, Gang of Four, Sex Pistols, T. Rex. I can’t type fast enough to tell you all the Kick Ass music he’s been playing. I feel like rising up and Raging Against The Machine. It’s been a good antidote if you want to fist pump and dance your way out of post Election Day frustrations. You should be listening! Now! Actually, you can download the entire show. Do that. Today’s show might not be available til tomorrow, but it’s So Good. And...

Post-punk band Gang of Four have unveiled details of their first album of new songs in 16 years. The follow-up to 1995's Shrinkwrapped is titled Content and will be released on January 24, 2011. It will be available on standard CD, vinyl and a limited edition Ultimate Content Can, featuring six booklets - including one containing sachets of blood from guitarist Andy Gill and singer Jon King. Gill said of the album: "In the end, it's all about being human. How we see ourselves, and how we see the world we have created for ourselves. “When Jon and I talked about the album we were making, we looked back at some of the other (more)...

The new album from Gang of Four, "Content," is the first from the band in 16 years. Founding members Jon King and Andy Gill wanted this new album to prove that they still can deliver intelligent, powerful and liberating rock & roll that is both provocative and simply thrilling.
The Leeds-based, post-punk band will release "Content" on January 25th via Yep Roc. The upcoming release was written by King and Gill. This is the band's first album of new material since 1995's "Shrinkwrapped" and was recorded and produced by Gill, as well.
"What we're trying to do is keep it totally stripped down, where everyone in the band makes an equally intense contribution," King said in a statement. "What I've been thrilled by over the years is that our music still seems to make sense to our audiences, however old they are, and these days they're mostly under 30. They tell us that our music means something,...

This interview is part of our ongoing series related to The Influence Project.
When I saw that Dave Allen--the original bassist for the seminal post-punk band Gang of Four and the digital anthropologist at the Portland-based ad agency/production shop North--was involved in The Influence Project, I knew he should talk to Jason Harris. Harris is the president of the Sf-based ad agency/production shop Mekanism--the company producing The Influence Project with Fast Company--and a bassist who plays with the band Slumberparty. Though Slumberparty is no Gang of Four (yet, who knows?), I thought each would admire in the other their kindred spirits and have an interesting conversation about social media, rock and roll and how the punk rock ethos exists on the Internet. The exchange doesn't disappoint and even reveals a sultry definition of the word pampelmoose. A nice little bonus.

John Hofmeister and Nick Pozzi tell Fast Company how a possible solution to the Gulf Oil spill is sitting under Bp's nose.
Underwater robots, containment domes, top hats, hot taps, junk shots ... the potential fixes to the Gulf Oil Spill sound like they come straight from a cringeworthy disaster flick (or a PR think tank). But what if the solution is right under our noses? What if it's already sitting in the Gulf? John Hofmeister, the former president of Shell Oil, and Nick Pozzi, a former pipeline engineering and operations project manager for Saudi Aramco, think it might be.
According to Hofmeister, oil supertankers could be used to suck up massive amounts of oil--possibly millions of barrels at a time.
In an interview with FastCompany.com, Hofmeister explained that a little-known Saudi oil spill from an offshore platform in the early 1990s dumped more crude into the sea than any spill in U.

It's useless to search her, because she doesn't have anything. She is a bitch. She is Stranger.
That's briefly what teaser says about her with heavy criminal slang that I don't even know how to translate. In the teaser the man also calls her Oyster, I don't know what it means in criminal slang. I also don't know how to translate the title, because Чужая means Female Stranger as well as Female Alien, Female Foreigner, etc.. So I chose Stranger.
Producer of Chuzhaya (Stranger) is Konstantin Ernst, the most influential media producer in Russia. He was behind of such well-known titles as Night Watch, Day Watch, Turkish Gambit, Admiral, Hipsters (Stilyagi), Irony of Fate 2 with its record box-office, and several notable, popular and sometimes controversial TV-shows and series. He is a king of Russian TV. His movies hit the record of Russian box-office several times. So his name in the trailer promises decent show.

As the record industry falters, more and more bands are turning to websites such as Pledge Music as an alternative means to fund the recording of an album. Gang of Four is one notable group to have experimented with donation-based funding recently. Now, it seems the record labels themselves are catching on, and Atlantic has become one of the first of the industry giants to experiment with the model, which asks fans to donate money in exchange for incentives from the artist. They’re asking fans to help pay for the new Ep from trip-hop artist Natty, and while the rewards...

English post-punk dynamos Gang of Four clearly know the value of a personal touch. To fund their new album, Content, they’re asking fans for donations. In exchange, they’re offering everything from hand-decorated cassette recordings of their first show to a private listening session with Andy Gill at his studio. Thoughtful, creative rewards are the bread and butter of artists seeking funding on sites like Kickstarter and GoF’s choice, PledgeMusic, but the Leeds rockers really went off the deep end with their reward for fans who donate £45 — along with a book showing “ceramic tiles depicting the last 40 years...

To me, it’s fitting that in our lengthy conversation, actor A.J. Bowen tells me he was close to answering the phone with Tom Atkins’ famous line, “Thrill Me.” With his phenomenal facial hair (which I open the interview with) and true talent showcased in our beloved genre, I can see him attaining the heights of that classic ’80s hero. This Friday, Ti West’s much anticipated House Of The Devil reaches theaters (you can currently check it out on VOD, and you should!) where you can see Bowen in a relatively small but integral and very fun role. Punch drunk in love with the film since I saw it earlier this year at Tribeca and a huge admirer of Bowen’s excellent work in The Signal, I knew I’d have to get him talking about it all. So read on, and get excited about the lumberjack resembling future of horror,...

Long before I had actually seen Azazel Jacobs’ second feature, The GoodTimesKid, I had heard tell of its final scene, in which the Gang of Four song “Damaged Goods” is played in its entirety. It takes a certain kind of confidence to use a Gang of Four song in a cinematic context. Deceptively simple post-punk loaded with weighty narrative, it’s virtually impossible to match this music with imagery without the filmmaker’s voice getting lost in the noise, without the soundtrack seemingly functioning as a mission statement above and beyond what the rest of the film has to say. Certainly, the thesis of Sofia Coppola’s Marie Antoinette seems most articulate in its opening scene, set to a lengthy excerpt of Gang of Four’s “Natural’s Not in It” -- the song serves as a key to unlocking that film’s visual indulgence, ...
