Here’s that “Came Back Haunted” David Lynch music video you were looking for. It has… – Pulsating red squares. – Pulsating black dots. – A constantly inverting BW Photoshop of a girl-insect in a gasmask. – Creepy indoor mushroom cloud. – A shaky, angry, red-tinted close up of Trent Reznor. – One of David Lynch’s […]
Near the ANIMAL office alone, there are purpleleaf plums, honeylocust, and swamp white oak. Near my apartment, black locust, small-leaved linden, and chokecherry. All of them are edible in some way–honey locusts’ pods can be eaten, as can black locust’s flowers, and the seeds of swamp white oak can be used as a thickening agent. […]
Oh look, it’s an actual clip of Lars Von Trier’s highly-anticipated new movie Vagina Emoticon. If you were hoping for a preview of that cutting-edge technology that will morph-mesh porn-star-fuck-bits and Charlotte-Gainsbourg-Shia-LaBeouf-Uma-Thurman-heads into a glorious CGI orgy of sexual cynicism, moral subjectivity and whatever the opposite of Dogma film is BUT NO. Here’s a disappointingly SFW […]
Well, this is a bittersweet surprise. On the heels of Kim Deal’s announcement that she was leaving the Pixies comes this new track–the band’s first since 2004–which sounds to be one of Deal’s final moments as a member. “Bagboy” starts off uninspiring, with Frank Black doing a wordier version of his neurotic talk-singing over sparse […]

“Obviously that’s not a lot of fun, getting hit by a bus, so I wanted to do something positive,” Bicycle Film Festival director Brendt Barbur tells ANIMAL. Biking in New York can be perilous, but there’s a reason why we do it and since 2001, Barbur celebrated the biking spirit in a series of screenings, […]
Opening tomorrow at the Brooklyn Museum is the much anticipated retrospective of the anonymous artist group The Bruce High Quality Foundation. The exhibition, Ode to Joy, 2001–2013 will feature a massive body “less than 17,000” works. The group, “created to foster an alternative to everything,” is often hyped for their the decision to keep their identities hidden as artists’ […]
For Australian cyclist Shane Perkins, the Keirin–a Japanese cycling race in which participants sprint after a lap paced by a motorcycle–means a lot of things. It’s redemption for his spotted past as an Olympic competitor; it’s a way back into professional cycling; it’s a chance to provide for his family. Ryoku, a film documenting Perkins’s personal and […]
