Can’t stop dancing and don’t know why? It’s probably because you’ve been listening to Gold Fields, masters of hypnotic, synth-infused, tribal, dance pop, hailing all the way from Ballarat, Victoria, Australia. Chosen by Billboard, Dailymotion, and MTV as artists to watch in 2013, this energetic group of 20-somethings is bringing a sound to the industry that’s all their own.
Just as Maria Von-Trapp had her favorite things (raindrops on roses, whiskers on kittens), we at Loco Mag have ours, and we’re excited to publish them in this issue. We cover it all, from sex scenes to sweatshirts, and we even go off the beaten track to explore new, different meanings of the word “favorite”. Look, read, enjoy, and maybe…

With interests in film studies, world cinema, visual culture and cultural studies, we at Loco Mag knew he would be a very interesting subject, so I decided to interview him about some of his own personal opinions and “favorites.”
Admit it, we all have dirty minds. Sex sells, which is why it is so common in movies and television today. For everyone’s viewing pleasure, here is a montage of a bunch of our favorite sex scenes, including clips from Black Swan, American Horror Story Asylum, The Lucky One, Friends With Benefits, The Titanic, The Notebook, Monster’s Ball, Brokeback Mountain,…
Starting in music at a young age, country-folk singer-songwriter Willy Mason has been in and around music for the majority of his young life. Releasing his debut album, Where the Humans Eat, in 2004 and his sophomore album, If the Ocean Gets Rough, in 2007, Willy spent much of the early years of his career continuously touring and bringing his music to people around the world. In 2007, he took a well-deserved break. But now, he is back, fitting in perfectly with the current nu-folk craze and the likes of The Lumineers and recent touring partners Mumford and Sons.
