Flume And JPEGMAFIA Release Collaborative EP ‘We Live In A Society'
Flume and JPEGMAFIA have officially shared their debut collaborative EP, entitled We Live In A Society. Last week saw the Australian producer and American rapper tease the release of the project with an animated video for what ended up being the first track on the EP, the imaginatively-titled 'Track 1'. It was then confirmed via Flume's social media a few days later. The pair reportedly began work on the EP in 2023, prior to both Peggy's collaborative album with Danny Brown (Scaring The Hoes) and his fifth solo album I Lay Down My Life For You – on which Flume co-produced the Vince Staples collab 'New Black History'. We Live In A Society can be streamed below via Spotify.
To promote the EP, a music video for the track 'AI Girlfriend' has also been shared. JPEGMAFIA co-directed the music video himself, alongside collaborator Logan Fields. The clip depicts a futuristic knight in a strip club, and is filmed from its perspective in the spirit of The Prodigy's controversial 'Smack My Bitch Up' music video. It also features YouTuber Dax Flame in a cameo role.
We Live In A Society marks Flume's first new music as a lead artist since the release of his two 2023 mixtapes: Things Don't Always Go The Way You Plan and Arrived Anxious, Left Bored. Since then, he has collaborated with Tkay Maidza on the single 'Silent Assassin' and with Kučka on 'One More Night'. Peggy, meanwhile, has stayed prolific in 2025. He has released the stand-alone singles 'Protect The Cross' and 'Valentines Day Freestyle '25', as well as a 'director's cut' of I Lay Down My Life For You which expands it to a 76-minute double album. The rapper has also teased his sixth solo album and a follow-up to Scaring The Hoes with Brown on his social media accounts.

Ari Aster's ‘Eddington' Sharply Divides Cannes: Star Pedro Pascal Defends a Western About ‘Our Worst Fears' Amid Lockdown
When writer/director Ari Aster stood up for the ovation after the Cannes premiere of his divisive 2020-set Western 'Eddington' (July 16, A24), he said, 'I feel very privileged to be here. This is a dream come true. Thank you so much for having me. And, I don't know, sorry?' Indeed, festival attendees have been fiercely divided by his 145-minute portrait of a fictional New Mexico town wracked by COVID, BLM, ACAB, you-name-it-2020-buzz-concept during the darkest season of American lives in recent memory. Joaquin Phoenix (Aster's 'Beau Is Afraid') plays a conservative sheriff who decides to run against his Gavin Newsom-esque, pro-masks-and-testing adversary, Ted Garcia (Pedro Pascal), in the local mayoral election. More from IndieWire The Cannes 2025 Films So Far Most Likely to End Up in the Oscar Race 'Imago' Review: Chechen Documentary Explores a Filmmaker's Conflicted Return to His Roots Meanwhile, at home, Phoenix's character Joe Cross is in a quarantine bubble with his hysteria-addled wife Louise (Emma Stone) and her far-right conspiracy-obsessed mother Dawn (Deirdre O'Connell), the type for whom hydroxychloroquine was presumably a panacea. But Joe's campaign is all anti-masks, anti-vax, with the threat of cult leader Vernon Jefferson Peak (Austin Butler) also posing a challenge to his political and personal life. The film has sparked massive debates up and down the Croisette since premiering Friday night, with the starriest red carpet thus far and a press conference Saturday afternoon featuring Aster with his actors Phoenix, Pascal (in a sleeveless top), Stone (in a pixie haircut, her hair growing back presumably after shaving it off for Yorgos Lanthimos' upcoming 'Bugonia'), and Michael Ward, who plays Phoenix's next-in-command. IndieWire has talked to people who loved or hated the film, with rarely any opinion in between and certainly never without a strong response of some kind from anyone — whether out of boredom or raptures over Aster's in-your-face replay of our worst COVID-times memories. 'Eddington' could be a tough sell for audiences unwilling to be submersed again in summer 2020 and all the chaos and anxieties it erupted. Other pundits I've spoken to defend 'Eddington' as a necessary social satire that mocks and derides the panic of that year, while encapsulating it all into one movie as never before. IndieWire critic David Ehrlich wrote in his rave review that 'few other filmmakers would have the chutzpah required' to pull this movie off, 'and we should probably all be grateful that none of them have tried.' 'It's very scary to participate in a movie that speaks to issues like this,' Pascal said at the press conference. 'It's far too intimidating a question for me to address. I'm not informed enough. I want people to be safe and protective. I want very much to be on the right side of history.' 'Eddington' indeed takes shots at both sides of the aisle, roasting liberal posturing in the form of social justice youth like Sarah (Amélie Hoeferle), who posts TikToks about James Baldwin and rants about having any position at all on 'stolen land.' Phoenix's sheriff character, meanwhile, could only be wrought from the era of Trump, as he rails against mask mandates and is suspicious of the George Floyd-inspired protests shaking up his community. At one point, he swaggers into a grocery store with the pompousness of Western's most classic, gun-on-the-hip cowboys. Pascal added, 'I felt like [Aster] wrote something that was all our worst fears as that lockdown experience was already a fracturing society. This was building toward an untethered sense of reality. There is a point of not going back. I was overwhelmed by that fear, and it's wonderful that it was confirmed by Ari.' Aster, whose latest feature is a hairpin departure from the genre thrills and chills of films like 'Hereditary' and 'Midsommar' and is far from the spirit of intrusive-thought-induced weirdness of 'Beau Is Afraid,' added, 'I wrote this movie in a state of fear and anxiety. I wanted to try and pull back and show what it feels like to live in a world where nobody can agree on what is real anymore.' 'Eddington' is his first feature to premiere at Cannes. 'I feel like we're on a dangerous road, and we're living in an experiment that hasn't gone well,' Aster said (via Deadline) about his MAGA- and liberal-skewering Western. 'I feel there is no way out of it… Mass liberal democracies always had this fundamental agreement we agree what we're arguing about, that system was coming from power. So it's not like suddenly there's this bad power out there. It's always been there, but right now it's chaos.' Stone, who connected with Aster amid his 2024 'Beau Is Afraid,' said that her research into the conspiracy theories that turn her character against her husband even ended up modifying her personal social media algorithms (via Variety). 'The only additional thing that scared me a little bit in the algorithm system was looking into some of the things that are in this film that haven't been in my algorithm, unfortunately, added them to my algorithm,' she said. 'Because once you start Googling it, you start seeing more and more things. So it's a real rabbit hole, very quickly. Unfortunately, I'm still getting fed some crazy shit.' 'Eddington' is still the most conversation-starting Competition premiere at Cannes, with critics split over its social message and pacing (it's currently at 63 on Metacritic, where you can find reviews all over the map). How A24 will market this movie — only one teaser has been released so far, showing Phoenix doom-scrolling through familiar images of the deepest COVID era — is an intriguing question in the lead-up to its July theatrical release. Alex Garland's 'Civil War,' another post-COVID story of national conflict, did well for A24 last year, grossing more than $127 million by tapping into a fascination factor over a divided United States. Who will 'Eddington' appeal to? Either way, it's pitting Cannes audiences against each other — Screen Daily called it a 'wan satire,' while Variety deemed it 'brazenly provocative' — and will no doubt continue to stoke debate into the summer.

26 Extremely Rare And Fascinating Pictures From History That Will Completely And Totally Change Your Perspective On The Past
Before airplanes were pressurized for commercial use, flyers had to wear oxygen masks at higher altitudes: This picture is from 1939 and taken while 20,000 feet in the air. During World War II, the USS Trigger got close enough to Japan on patrol to take a picture through its periscope of Mount Fuji: This is from 1943. Fascinating stuff! The Michelin Man not only used to be absolutely terrifying, but he used to run with a gang of several other musically inclined Michelin men: Chet Baker is shaking. Tourists in Egypt used to be able to climb on top of the Great Pyramid all willy-nilly: Let's be thankful there are some stricter rules about visiting the landmark. These gigantic contraptions are apparently one of the first life preservers ever made: They're made out of mattresses but something tells me they aren't comfortable. This picture, taken in 1942, shows a New York Times employee creating that day's layout of the Sports page: "Boy, this Mort Cooper guy can really slang it." This is selection of prosthetic face parts designed for World War I veterans: Here's what one of those prosthetics looked like in action: This is Australian javelin thrower Reg Spiers, best known for literally mailing himself in a big giant box from London to Australia in the 1960s: Spiers was broke and needed to figure out a way home to his family, so he did what any person would have done: he posted himself. This is the 5x3x2.5 foot box Spiers mailed himself in: The journey took over two days. Spiers stuffed himself in the box with some "tinned food, a torch, a blanket and a pillow, plus two plastic bottles - one for water, one for urine." You can read more about the whole ordeal here. This is frogman Courtney Brown towing a 55 scale model of the Titanic during the filming of the movie Raise The Titanic: The movie was, well, about raising the Titanic from the ocean floor. Interestingly enough, because the movie was made in 1980, the wreck of the ship had yet to be found. That's why "the wreck" is in one big piece here. Here's what the wreck of the model of the wreck of the Titanic looks like today: Slightly worse than the one in the Atlantic, I'd say. This is Robert Earl Hughes, the one-time world's heaviest man and his pet dog: At his heaviest, Robert weighed over 1,000 pounds. Eleven days in October had to be skipped after the Gregorian calendar was adopted in 1582: A wise person on Reddit hipped the internet to the fact that if you scroll back in your phone long enough, you can see it for yourself. Here's what gorilla's fingerprint looks like compared to a human's: Gorillas: they're just like us. This is what a whole bunch of wind turbines look like from way above: Like they're floating! This is a replica of what was apparently the world's largest polar bear, standing tall at 12 feet and weighing over 2,200 pounds: That, and I don't say this lightly, is one big bear. This is the crew of the USS Hunchback, taken in Virginia at the end of the Civil War. Unlike the army, the Union's navy was actually integrated: I think I would have also been the banjo player during the Civil War. This is what British World War I victory medal looks like: Too bad there would be another Great War for civilization less than two decades later. This is the first computer Apple ever developed: It looks nothing like an apple. Not even like an orange. This is a Corinthian helmet and the skull that wore it from the Battle of Marathon in 490 BC: Chilling stuff. This is what a pick-up truck from 1985 looks like compared to the behemoths that are modern pick-up trucks: Poor l'il guy. Owls have big ol' long legs: Check out the gams on Birdie. This is a list of the causes of death of everyone who died in London in 1632: Me, personally? I'm dying from "Planet." This was the scene aboard the ship The Queen Elizabeth as it brought soldiers back home to New York after World War II ended: I hate to say it... but imagine having to use the bathroom? Nightmare. And, finally, this is what Nicolas Cages' father, August Coppola, looked like: Incredible stuff.
