Dazy is the punky power-pop project of James Goodson, the Virginia-based musician who’s landed in our Song of the Week Honorable Mentions a couple of times. Only a few months after sharing Outofbody, his great debut album under the Dazy moniker, he’s returning with a surprise EP Otherbody, out now via Lame-o.
Dazy’s music is a hodgepodge of indie rock subgenres, spanning the sweeping hooks of Britpop classics, the whimsy of ’80s jangle pop, and the pleasantly caustic fuzz of ’90s shoegaze. The eight songs on Otherbody were recorded during the Outofbody sessions — which took place at Goodson’s home — and were mixed and mastered by Justin Pizzoferrato. The new EP is just the latest in Dazy’s ever-growing output since starting the project in 2020, and at just 20 minutes long, it’s one that goes down easy time and time again.
Otherbody EP is available to purchase on Bandcamp.

Glastonbury’s Emily Eavis has revealed that the John Peel Stage has been renamed after almost 20 years.
The news arrives at the same time as the remaining headliners for the 2023 festival were announced, with Guns N’ Roses and Arctic Monkeys joining Elton John on the billing.
Eavis discussed the “pipeline” problems related to the all-male headliners, as well as an overarching 53 per cent male lineup so far.
In an interview with The Guardian, Eavis also disclosed that the John Peel Stage, which replaced the previous named New Bands Tent in 2005, will now be called Woodsies.
Eavis said the decision was part of a push to name stages after the fields they stand in, such as West Holts and Silver Hayes.
“We’ve had 20 years of John Peel and it’s been an honour to use his name,” she said.

Video Version of this Article Photo: Jane Campion/Shutterstock Dame Jane Campion has long been recognized as an auteur to watch. Her first short film, ‘Peel,’ won the Short Film Palme d’Or at Cannes, and about a decade later she won the Palme D’Or that people mean when they say “the Palme d’Or” for ‘The Piano,’ becoming the first woman ever to do so. This year, she won the Academy Award for Best Director for her work on ‘The Power of the Dog,’ making her the first woman in history to have won both the Best Original Screenplay award, which she won for ‘The Piano’ in 1993, and the Best Director award.

Jane Campion has always been a film artist who’s gone her own way. With a background in art, Campion soon came to realize that she could better express herself through the medium of film and created a series of short films, one of which, “Peel,” won the Short Film Palme d’Or at the 1986 Cannes Film Festival. In 1989, she segued into feature film direction with “Sweetie,” the first of eight features that she would direct over the next 32 years. Scroll down to see all eight Jane Campion movies ranked from worst to best.
She explored female sexuality in “In the Cut,” “Holy Smoke!,” “Portrait of a Lady” and, most famously in “The Piano,” where Holly Hunter’s character Ada consents to an erotic affair with a frontiersman (Harvey Keitel) which allows her to fulfill her long-repressed sexual desires. (That’s also a theme of Campion’s acclaimed 2013 TV miniseries “Top of the Lake.

Above: The World WithinSince the pandemic took shape as a global force a year and a half ago, film festivals everywhere have struggled to adjust and find a way forward while continuing to support film culture and traditions of exhibition. The Annecy International Animation Film Festival is no exception. While the 2020 festival was completely online, the 2021 version was hybrid. This sounded promising at first, but ultimately provided fewer options for those who could not make their way to France. The hybrid experience, with its fracturing of movie publics, is even more fragmented, with feature films unavailable online. This disappointing feeling of one step forward and two steps back accurately reflects the current experience of the pandemic: the ambiguous middle-ground is proving to be more chaotic and confusing. As poet Tanya Davis puts it in the delightful film How to Be at Home: “If you are, at first, really fucking anxious,...

The Annency International Animation Film Festival announced Saturday evening the winners of its major awards.
Flee, Jonas Poher Rasmussen’s hand-drawn animation telling the true story of a man’s extraordinary journey as a child refugee from Afghanistan, won top honors by nabbing the Annency Cristal for a feature film. Deadline’s Todd McCarthy said Rasmussen “puts you through it in a way that illustrates, instructs, makes you look inward and ask whether you’d have what it takes, if you could tough it out and survive in a cold, hostile world.”
Riz Ahmed and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau will voice the lead roles in an English language version of the film, which will debut later this year, and the pair are also executive producers on the pic.

On Saturday evening, after a week of onsite and virtual screenings, conferences, masterclasses and panels, the Annecy Animation Festival announced the winners of its major prizes, joining the already announced Special Prizes from the night before.
Jonas Poher Rasmussen’s “Flee” continued its winning form from the previous evening – it won best original music from a feature – taking both the Cristal for a Feature Film, the festival’s top prize, and the Gan Foundation Award for distribution.
A World Cinema Grand Jury Award-winner at Sundance and best Nordic documentary winner at Göteborg, “Flee” was described by Variety’s Peter Debruge as a “sophisticated refugee story.” “Flee” is the true story of Amin, about to get married, who decides to share his hidden past, a secret he has been hiding for over 20 years which threatens to ruin the life he has built since.

Annecy’s short film competition is many things. It is a celebration of the best short, animated films from the previous year, a barometer of bigger things to come from filmmakers on the rise, a place of recognition for established filmmakers still going strong decades into their careers, and a home to experimentation impossible to find almost anywhere else.
Each year, Variety watches each of the shorts in Annecy’s main competition selection and picks ten of our favorites. We’re not saying these are the best 10 shorts this year, we’ll leave that to the judges, but we believe each brings something that shouldn’t be missed.

Exclusive: Violet Brinson (Sharp Objects) and Kale Culley are set as a series regulars opposite Lindsey Morgan and Jared Padalecki in Walker, a reimagining of CBS’ long-running 1990s action/crime series Walker, Texas Ranger.
Like the original series, created by Albert S. Ruddy & Leslie Greif, the reboot, in which Walker is getting a female partner, will explore morality, family and rediscovering our lost common ground. It centers on Cordell Walker (Padalecki), a widower and father of two with his own moral code, who returns home to Austin after being undercover for two years, only to discover there’s harder work to be done at home. He’ll attempt to reconnect with his children, navigate clashes with his conservative family, and find unexpected common ground with his new partner Micki (Morgan), (one of the first women in Texas Rangers’ history), while growing increasingly suspicious about the circumstances surrounding his wife’s death.

Sony Pictures has released the first trailer for a new coming-of-age film called Peel. The movie stars Emile Hirsch as a very sheltered boy who never really left his childhood home. After his mom dies he has to figure out how to survive in a world he knows nothing about and embarks on a journey to find his two brothers who were taken away by Peel’s father years earlier.
I like Hirsch as an actor, and this is a very different kind of role for him that he has taken on. It actually looks like it could be a charmingly awkward movie. Here’s the synopsis:
After his father takes his two brothers and leaves him, Peel (Emile Hirsch) is forced to grow up in a state of arrested development. Once his mother dies, he must forge his own path and move forward on his own, while attempting to find his lost brothers.

Emile Hirsch’s bright red hair and freckles in his new film “Peel” has made him innocent, naive and estranged from his family, but he is still the “most decent person” you’ll meet.
In this charming, emotional and quirky coming of age story, Hirsch plays Peel, a young man who goes on a road trip to reconnect with his long-lost, brown-haired brothers after his mother’s death.
“Everyone would tease me and say my hair was red because my mom had an affair with the pool boy,” Hirsch says in the first trailer for “Peel,” which TheWrap has obtained exclusively. “She told me I sprouted from an orange peel.”
