Whenever I talk about what makes a video go viral, I usually say make the audience either laugh, cry or get angry. I should just say fill up a mini-train full of cute dogs, and watch the hits pile up.

Texas Famous reports that a man in Fort Worth, Texas frequently takes his pack of dogs on a mini-train ride around town.

That time George Harrison refused to appear nude onscreen. In a pool. With a hippopotamus.

To coincide with the release on DVD of Alejandro Jodorowsky’s first film in 22 years, The Dance Of Reality, Uncut thought of us when they posted the full transcript of the interview they conducted with the filmmaker for their issue.

Are you pleased that the soundtrack for The Holy Mountain is finally coming out?
Yes. I had problems with the producer [Allen Klein] for thirty years. Later, with his son, we make peace and I remastered the picture, and the public can see it now. But the music in the picture is not the complete music we composed. On the record, you have all the music not in the picture. So I am very happy.

What was the problem with Allen Klein?
We have a little…. He wanted me to make a picture, so I escaped, I didn’t want to do it. Evidently, he hated me. And then we fought.

How did you first meet John Lennon?
[Hendrix producer] Alan Douglas had a little company. They had El Topo because no one wanted to buy it. He was a friend of John Lennon and Yoko Ono and said to them, ‘See the picture? If you like the picture, show your public the picture.’ And they did. Then they recommended Allen Klein buy El Topo, and he did it.

Wasn’t George Harrison meant to be in The Holy Mountain?
He was staying in the Plaza Hotel [in New York], in a big suite. He was dressed all in white. Very, very spiritual. He said, ‘I like the script, I want to do the picture. But there is one little part I cannot do.’ I said, ‘What little part?’ He said, ‘In a swimming pool, with a hippopotamus, I must clean my asshole in front of the camera. I don’t want to do that.’ I said to him, ‘I am very happy that you like my picture. But this moment is very important for the picture and you are the biggest star and if you show your anus it will be the most fantastic illustration of how humble your ego is.’ And then he said, ‘No, I can’t do it.’ So I said, ‘Well, I can’t work with you.’ I lost millions of dollars! I lost another picture!

A New Species Of Tarantulas Named After Johnny Cash

A new species of tarantula has been named after Johnny Cash. Aphonopelma johnnycashi is “found around Folsom [Prison] and the males are predominantly all black, so it fits his image,” says naturalist Chris Hamilton, who led the team that discovered the spider. The only way to kill them? Put them in a ring of fire, until they go down, down, down and the flames went higher.

The Lumineers Announce New Album; ‘Cleopatra’ To Be Released April 8

The Lumineers announced today the release of their second album Cleopatra via Dualtone, an Entertainment One company, on April 8th. In addition the Lumineers have announced the first leg of their World tour commencing April 14th in the UK. The band also shares their first single “Ophelia” which can be heard here. It took four years for The Lumineers (Wesley Schultz, Jeremiah Fraites and Neyla Pekarek) to follow up their platinum-plus, multi-Grammy-nominated, self-titled debut – which spent 46 weeks on the Billboard 200 and peaked at #2 — but Cleopatra is well worth the wait. After exploding onto the scene with their monster single, “Ho Hey” (which spent a staggering 62 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at #3) and its follow-up, “Stubborn Love” (recently featured on President Barack Obama’s Spotify playlist), The Lumineers spent a solid three years touring six of the seven continents. During that time, The Lumineers earned a pair of Grammy nominations (Best New Artist, Best Americana Album), contributed two songs to The Hunger Games franchise (including the hit Jennifer Lawrence/James Newton Howard collaboration, “The Hanging Tree”) and sold an impressive 1.7 million albums in the U.S., and 3 million worldwide.

Cleopatra proves the band are neither taking their good fortune for granted, nor sitting back on their laurels. With the help of producer Simone Felice (The Felice Brothers, The Avett Brothers), the man Wesley calls “our shaman,” the band ensconced themselves in Clubhouse, a recording studio high atop a hill in rural Rhinebeck, N.Y., not far from Woodstock.

“We took the same approach this time as we did with the first album, recording demos in a small house we rented in the original Denver neighborhood where we first moved,” explains Wesley, contributing the lyrical ideas while collaborating on the music with Jer, who tackled a variety of instruments, including guitar, the very prominent piano and trademark tribal drums.

“The record is our greatest hits reflecting what’s happened to us over the last three years,” added Wesley. “We tried to come up with the best possible version of every song, so we recorded a lot of different iterations, changing the tempos, dressing ’em up, stripping ’em down. It took a lot of work to make them sound so easy. We’re very passionate about the process. It was a very intense and beautiful experience. There was a lot of battling, a lot of tears, but some amazing stuff came out, and at the end, we were much better off. It transformed our relationship.”

Watch Laura Marling perform in The Current studio

“I was writing music that called for that arrangement,” says Laura Marling, who plugs in an electric guitar for three tracks on her latest album Short Movie, which was written on her dad’s Gibson 335.

Though ahead of her performance at the second annual Festival Palomino, Marling went back to her roots: She stopped by The Current to perform an acoustic set live in-studio and to chat with host Steve Seel about her new record.

Before Short Movie, though, there was another (scrapped) album. “It was just a bit of a boring record,” says Marling. “I wasn’t inspired really, in a lyrical way.”

Then Marling moved to Los Angeles. “It so directly confronts you with everything that’s so awful about societal inequity and segregation and your complete powerlessness to do anything about it,” says Marling. “It sent me into an existential tailspin.”

“I was sort of surprised by how inspiring I found L.A., and I like the unlikely,” says Marling.

The best song for a team to run on the pitch to, according to The Hold Steady’s Craig Finn

That would be my beloved Minnesota Vikings, who come on to the field to Immigrant Song by Led Zeppelin. That’s often the best part of the game, with the first line “I come from the land of the ice and snow”, which describes Minnesota, and the line about “Valhalla, I am coming”. They have a viking on a Harley come out and then they chase behind it – it’s actually pretty impressive. I wouldn’t call the soundsystem shit hot, but it gets pretty loud. It’s a supercharged part of the game – and the fans have been drinking for five hours by that point. They introduced it some time in the 90s – before then, they used to have this chintzy “Go Vikings! Let’s win the game”, 50s or 60s rock ’em sock ’em kind of thing that wasn’t nearly as impressive or contemporary. Admittedly, Immigrant Song is 45 years old, but for the crowd of 40-something white people, that’s contemporary. A song that would be great as an entrance would be Paranoid by Black Saabbath, at least in tone if not in content. I always think that’s the ultimate in driving guitar songs. There’s a song by Jawbreaker, the 90s emo punks, that they always used to play first. Before the record actually came out, we thought it was a theme song because the chorus went: “Are you out there? Do you hear me?” It sounded as though it would be great for a sports team. But actually it’s called Do You Hate Me and its about a girl.
