Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.For Sofia Coppola's true-life film of youthful LA blaggers, Brian Reitzell has assembled a soundtrack mostly featuring bad-boy rap and what Americans call EDM (electronic dance music).
So there's dead-voiced gangsta brags like Rick Ross and Lil Wayne's “9 Piece”, a couple of slightly anachronistic Kanye cuts from My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, a soupçon of Deadmau5, and then right in the middle of all this attitude and angular beats, the rolling drum barrage of Can's “Halleluwah”, a masterstroke of unexpected sequencing. It's one of the more oddly appropriate pieces here, along with M.I.A.'s self-explanatory “Bad Girls” and Frank Ocean's sleek “Super Rich Kids”, which could have been custom-built for the purpose.
