Film
“The Treasures of Long Gone John” profiles the life of lowbrow art collector and record label owner Long Gone John. The film features music from The White Stripes, Rocket from the Crypt and other bands from his label, plus interviews and artwork from Juxtapoz faves like Todd Schorr, Mark Ryden and Camille Rose Garcia. Check out the trailer below:

Also, the trailer for the upcoming doc “Leonard Cohen: I’m Your Man” has been posted. The film features performances from U2, Rufus Wainwright, Nick Cave and others.

TV
You can catch a sneak preview of IFC’s documentary “SXSW: Behind the Badge” exclusively on the IFC website. The doc chronicles the festival through the eyes of three different participants: web nerd Ben Brown who sold his indie dating site to AOL, punk rock band The Riverboat Gamblers , and pair of filmmakers who are shopping their film “Darkon.”

Also, VH1’s “Can’t Get a Date” is way better than it should be. Not just another dating show, this one is honest about the participants’ shortcomings. Call it a dating show with heart. It is also well-cast with charming people you actually want to root for. “Blind Date” this most certainly ain’t. See a clip:

Frank Portman, the former leader of Berkeley, California pop punks The Mr. T Experience has just released his first novel “” to glowing reviews. Entertainment Weekly gave it an “A,” and Larry Livermore, founder of Lookout! Records, who, under full disclosure, released all of Mr. T Experience’s records, said this about it: “I can easily see teenagers carrying ‘King Dork’ around everywhere they go and, a couple decades from now, holding it up to their own children as ‘this great book that changed my life.’” High praise indeed.

Also, Douglas Coupland’s new one, “,” sounds pretty interesting. Read an extract from it here.
