The latest project from the multi-pronged creative universe that is James Franco, the film Child Of God, releases its first trailer today. The film, which debuted at the Venice Film Festival back in August, is yet another based on the works of Cormac McCarthy — the others including the novels No Country For Old Men and […]

We’re not gonna lie, we’re kind of fascinated by James Franco.

The Sydney DJ’s mix is some lovely vintage soul and funk, and can have many an application on your upcoming long weekend: either pop […]
