Black Lips are a four-piece from Atlanta, Georgia who play a psych-garage style they call ‘flower-punk.’ Heretofore as well known for their unpredictable live shows as their self-produced records, the Lips have seemingly been aiming for more artistic respect since their breakout, 2007’s Good Bad Not Evil. And not without justification. That record and its followup, 2009’s 200 Million Thousand, showed that they were as serious about their craft as they were about good times.

With their new record, Arabia Mountain, the Black Lips’ connoisseur’s ear for the best bits of rock history and hard-won chops have found an unlikely but sympathetic enabler in super-producer Mark Ronson. Ronson, famous for his work with artists like Amy Winehouse, Lily Allen, and Robbie Williams, might have seemed a risky choice, but he’s left the Lips’ scruffy lo-fi charm intact while bringing a wider palate of sound and honing their songs to razor sharpness.

SuicideGirls spoke recently with the band’s singer/guitarist Cole Alexander about the new record, heavy metal, and economics.

Somewhere between the overabundant CGI and shoddy storyline, The Green Lantern lost the critics and its audience. Critics started bashing the movie early in the week, sticking it around 25% on RottenTomatoes. While the audience reaction has been…less harsh, it has consistently been ranked as the worst super hero movie of the year. Still it managed to take the weekend box office with opening sales of $53.2 million.

It looks like DC needs to stay away from the neon colored heroes and stick with something a little more traditional…and dark. The Dark Knight Rises has been picking up cast additions like they were on sale. The latest person to sign on the dotted line is Liam Neeson, who revisits the role of Ra’s al Ghul. This brings the total of villains cast to three with Bane, Catwoman, and Ra’s al Ghul (with high speculation of the introduction of Talia al Ghul). There is also a new ‘teaser’ for The Dark Knight Rises making its way around the web. The trailer was supposedly shown before the Green Lantern, but the official status of the teaser is still being questioned.

When the Borat movie was released last year you couldn’t even count the number of publicity appearances that Sacha Baron Cohen made in character. Those appearances, along with creating a hysterical and powerful movie, turned Borat into a monstrous hit and a cultural phenomenon that crossed all lines of gender, race and politics.

Much of the attention for the film was given, and rightly so, went to Cohen, but for most movies the director is always an essential element. Borat‘’s director is Larry Charles, previously best known for his writer/producer work on Seinfeld, Curb Your Enthusiasm and Entourage. Charles also directed another mop topped Jew named Bob Dylan in Masked and Anonymous. I got a chance to talk with Charles about creating the movie, the politics behind the scenes and how he got those people to say such outrageous things.
