Under the Radar interview and photos

Cillian Murphy by Wendy Lynch

The new Music vs. Film issue of alt music mag Under the Radar is absolutely chock full of goodies, including a very smart match up: Broken Social Scene vs. Cillian Murphy. The Toronto indie band's leader, Kevin Drew, interviews Cillian, and then the roles are reversed. Because The CillianSite tracks Cillian's hip musical tastes on our Cillian's Playlist page, we already knew he's a fan of Broken Social Scene, but he kicks off the discussion with this sweet superlative:

"And listen, I might just get the embarrassment out of the way. You know, you guys are my favorite band. Like, properly favorite band. So, we'll get that out of the way..."

Radar senior editor Mark Redfern jumps in to ask some pertinent questions, such as how Cillian first heard Broken Social Scene, who his other favorite artists are, and if there are any musicians he'd like to portray on screen:

"...I've been offered a couple of those and I always am very wary of them because I just think, 'Listen to the music,' you know? And particularly, they did a Brian Jones [of the Rolling Stones] movie. ...You know, he wasn't a very nice person and there's not that much of a story. And I know they're doing an Ian Curtis [of Joy Division] picture and I talked to them about that. But again, I don't know, there's such a huge amount of pressure and huge amount of people have invested so much in Ian Curtis and his music ... that it'd have to be a very, very special script for me to get involved. And you know, the good music biopics, you can name on one hand, really. And there's been so many crap ones. So I'm very kind of anxious about approaching those."

There's loads and loads more good stuff about music, acting, and film in the article, plus arresting photos by Wendy Lynch, such as the beaut above. ETA: We've been asked to take down the article scans until such time as the Spring issue is no longer available on newsstands. Under the Radar is a fantastic magazine, and the article is a must-have for Cillian fans, so we urge you to support their great work and go buy it!

This photo is really stunning, isn't it?

And Cillian's music taste is really superb. I have to admit, I had been ignoring all the good press that Kings of Leon had gotten until I read a while back that Cillian liked 'em -- given his good taste, I decided to give them a listen and I was blown away.

The first pic of Cillian is absolutely the most amazingly beautiful pic I have ever seen of him!! Wendy Lynch did an incredible photoshoot. Cillian also has good taste in music--BSS is actually pretty darn good.

Oh oh oh, I misunderstood. I thought it was no longer available NOW, and that was why they didn't want scans online....which doesn't make sense at all. But what you just said is exactly what I thought the case should be.

Under the Radar issue is available through July

Hi Liz -- the Spring 2007 issue will be on newsstands through mid-summer.

You can order it online here:
http://www.smartcart.com/utrsmartcart/cgi/search.cgi?terms=Back _Issues::&category=Back_Issues

This small magazine just spent money putting this amazing feature together and publishing this quarter's issue. If all the Cillian fans who'd otherwise buy the magazine don't buy it because of us, they lose sales. So understandably, as copyright holders they asked us to wait on posting the scans.

In my opinion, the issue is well worth the cover price -- I'm enjoying the whole thing. But if you don't want to spend the money, we'll post it again in July.
Liz

Uh, wouldn't the fact that it's no longer available on stands justify scans online? I really wanted to read that...
