Paste Sponsors Sean Lennon, Beck Film Screenings at Atlanta Theatre

Paste Sponsors Sean Lennon, Beck Film Screenings at Atlanta Theatre

For fans of the enigmatic musical stylings of Beck and Sean Lennon, Oct. 3 won't come soon enough. The day marks the release of Beck's The Information and Lennon's first album in eight years, Friendly Fire.

Now Atlanta-based fans are in for a special treat: On Tuesday evening, the Plaza Theater will hold a free showing of a collection of short films by both artists. The event begins at 9:30 p.m. and is sponsored by local music store Criminal Records. Fellow sponsors Capitol Records, Interscope Records and Paste will be giving out gifts and prizes throughout the night.

Lennon's films, directed by Michele Civetta and produced by the artist himself, are inspired by the issues of human relationships that pervade each song on Friendly Fire. Lennon stars in each of the videos, with Lindsay Lohan (Mean Girls), Jordana Brewster (The Fast and the Furious), Bijou Phillips (Havoc), Carrie Fisher (Star Wars) and Devon Aoki (Sin City) making appearances as well. Beck's contributions include music videos from The Information, which can also be found on the album's accompanying bonus DVD.

Paste's involvement with these artists spans further than just this screening. Beck is set to appear on the cover of the magazine this November, and the sampler CD includes his song "Strange Apparition." Meanwhile, the Paste Rock 'N' Reel video competition includes the video for Lennon's "Dead Meat."
