Antony Hegarty is one of those artists that America produces but never seems to quite know what to do with. Technically born in England, yes, Hegarty grew up in America, and it’s where his music, under the name Antony and the Johnsons, became more-or-less famous for its ethereal, emotional nature, and the way repeated phrases grow new tendrils of meaning through repetition and Hegarty’s evocative, ghostly, undulating voice. He’s a darling in England, where his 2005 album I Am a Bird Now won the Mercury Prize, a sort of combination Grammy and MacArthur Genius Grant. But, when I told my usually-in-the-know friends I was going to see a one-time-only piece from Antony commissioned by the Museum of Modern Art, I got mostly blank stares. Hegarty’s work can be hard to access -- it has no hooks, no beats, usually not even a proper chorus or verse. That is not his mission. Instead, he broadcasts directly to a listener’s heart using his powerful, ghostly voice over simple arrangements.

moreSince breaking up LCD Soundsystem James Murphy has stayed busy as the most interesting man alive, going on GQ party flights, releasing a documentary about LCD's last days, and finding the time to open up for Deadmau5. His newest project may be the coolest one yet: a supporting role in The Comedy, starring Adult Swim acidheads Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim of Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job! fame. According to the synopsis, Heidecker plays a guy who "whiles away his days with a group of aging Brooklyn hipsters, engaging in acts of recreational cruelty and pacified boredom." Ah, so it's a documentary. After the click, you can watch a clip from the movie where Murphy makes an appearance.

For some comedy nerds, Monty Python's Flying Circus is still the pinnacle of the form: absurd, slapstick, satirical, smart, and impossibly British. The legendary troupe hasn't made a movie together since 1983's The Meaning of Life, but that could be about to change. Variety reports that members of the Flying Circus are set to reunite for Absolutely Anything, a sci-fi flick about a group of aliens who bestow the powers to do "absolutely anything" upon a clueless human being in the hopes that he'll screw it all up. Director Terry Jones, who took the camera for three of the Python films, confirmed that he's signed Terry Gilliam, John Cleese and Michael Palin to voice the aliens. The project's been in development for a very long time, but with such a nice promotional tag, some forward momentum could be coming.

moreEvery few years there seems to be a star push for Aussie actor Guy Pearce, producers maybe figuring that his somber jawline is really not that much different from Brad Pitt's. Apologies to fans of The Time Machine, but he doesn't always get stuck with the best concepts. I'm not quite sure what to make of his newest movie, Lockout, in which he plays an ex-criminal asked to rescue the president's daughter from a maximum security space prison. It's a prison, in space! Is Pearce a bad enough dude for the task?

● "I hope somebody makes a movie about Obama’s life soon because I could play him," says Drake, who was, as you might recall, a child actor up in Canada. He's even been preparing: "I watch all the addresses. Any time I see him on TV, I don’t change the channel. I definitely pay attention and listen to the inflections of his voice. If you ask anyone who knows me, I’m pretty good at impression." [RS]
