South By Southwest launched in the 1980s as a music showcase, a Southern companion to New York City’s New Music Seminar. But over the decades, the event has ballooned into a multi-disciplinary conference involving tech, film, comedy, and more, to the point that music started to feel like an afterthought. Now the music portion of SXSW might be significantly scaling back, if not going away entirely.

From the very first episode of MGM+’s From, the jukeboxes that decorate the diner tables have played various songs at random. According to the Town’s self-appointed sheriff, Boyd Stevens (Harold Perrineau), “they do that sometimes.” However, the fact that the jukeboxes seem to have a mind of their own isn’t the only unsettling part of their autoplay abilities. Every time a song plays on one of From‘s jukeboxes, it’s painfully on the nose in terms of underscoring a scene’s meaning or larger themes.

Of all the songs I loved singing as a child at my church’s Vacation Bible School every summer, my favorite was one called, “I’m in the Lord’s Army.”We sang the lyrics—“I may never march in the infantry, ride in the cavalry, shoot the artillery. I may never fly o’er the enemy, but I’m in the Lord’s army, yes, sir!”—to what sounded like a rousing military parade song.

One winter night in 1924, a 19-year-old named Dorr Legg snuck away to a "charming park," where he had his first sexual experience with another man, something he had been desiring—and studying—for several years.

GettyOn 9 August 1969, the writing on the wall for the Sixties dream was smeared in blood. “PIG”, it read, daubed on the front door of 10050 Cielo Drive in Los Angeles, where pregnant film actress Sharon Tate and four others lay brutally slaughtered. The following night, over the bodies of Leno and Rosemary LaBianca on the walls of Waverly Drive, it read “RISE”, “DEATH TO PIGS” and, misspelt on the refrigerator, “HEALTER SKELTER”.

Britain’s rich history of stop motion filmmaking stretches back to the earliest years of cinema.

“I was in Tbilisi, Georgia where I saw a cartoon mascot of a rooster running with a roast chicken on a plate,” recalls Robin McNicholas, the director of immersive exhibition specialists Marshmallow Laser Feast (MLF). “And I remember thinking, it’s so weird, like celebrating cannibalism. How is this possibly a tantalizing offer to buy something inside this particular takeaway?
