Song-Inspired Band Names: Ladytron

Ladytron
Inspired by Roxy Music's 'Ladytron'

It was the sound of the song title more than the influence of the band, said Ladytron's Daniel Hunt of using the Roxy Music song as their name. "We met Bryan Ferry, though. He likes us." Ladytron has considered remixing the original Roxy track: "I thought about what I could do with it, but I just haven't got 'round to it. Maybe it'll be crap." We can't wait.

Pop Levi Makes Documentary With Cell Phone

OK, so despite his name, Pop Levi is not the father of department-store denim. But the former Ladytron bassist is the proud parent of Soul Film®, a self-aware indie-film style that suits his self-aware indie-rock stylings like a favorite pair of 501 jeans. This intentionally lo-fi cinematic approach forms the backbone of 'You Don't Got to Run,' a new documentary that follows Levi's European adventures working the press in support of his latest solo release, 'Never, Never Love.' It was shot by Levi's partner, Lucky Beaches, using the latest YouTube technology: cell phones and pocket cameras.

"I'm fascinated and ecstatic with the possibilities that modern-day consumer technology has given us," Levi tells Spinner. "We started making obscure, psychedelic filmettes on cell phones and pocket cameras because of the immediacy of the technology and the feel that can be achieved when being inventive with these 'low-quality' formats."

If nothing else, apparently you can now make movies on the same gadget you once used only to call your date to say you were stuck in traffic. 'You Don't Got to Run' premieres in Los Angeles on November 24.

Spinner RPM: Ursula 1000

Brooklyn turntable wiz Ursula 1000 -- aka Alex Gimeno -- is earmarked as one of ESL's elite, known for his ability to drop a breakbeat set while maintaining the funk that brought the kids to the dance floor in the first place. Gimeno is a New York native who relocated to Miami at a young age, thus opening him up to exotica, world music, bossa nova and merengue influence, which ultimately became his differentiating musical factors in an overcrowded New York DJ market. Ursula can be found rockin' New York's most infamous spots on any night of the week, but has always managed to release five studio LPs.

"I grew up listening to everything from rock to big band to disco and funk," Gimeno tells Spinner. "[My sound] is just adventures in fun and cheeky retro and future sounds."
