Muscle Shoals screening
Ponderosa Stomp Foundation, Picture Palace Pictures and CAC present
A Clandestine Celluloid screening of Muscle Shoals
Thursday, October 3rd with Special Guest Spooner Oldham
”Rising out
of the Deep South of 1960s America, a sound emerged that began to
attract artists as diverse as Otis Redding, Paul Simon, Aretha Franklin
and the Rolling Stones. That sound, and the people who helped create it,
would go on to leave its mark on music history. The place was Muscle
Shoals, Alabama, and this is the story of how it gave birth to some of
the most memorable music of our time.” From the documentary Muscle Shoals, a 2013 Magnolia Pictures release

The
Ponderosa Stomp Foundation, Picture Palace Pictures and the
Contemporary Arts Center present a Clandestine Celluloid screening of
the acclaimed new documentary Muscle Shoals, with a performance
by special guest Spooner Oldham. The film, chronicling the legendary
recording studios where hundreds of hits were created will screen
Thursday, October 3rd at the Contemporary Arts Center, 900 Camp Street
in the warehouse district of New Orleans, as part of the Ponderosa Stomp
Festival. Doors open at 6:30, the film begins at 7pm. Tickets are $10
for general admission and $8 for CAC Members and Ponderosa Stomp Music
History Conference attendees.
There will be a short introduction by Clandestine Celluloid
producer Madeleine Molyneaux and Oldham, a 2009 Rock and Roll Hall of
Fame inductee, will perform a short solo set following the screening.
"Clandestine Celluloid is honored to present the Louisiana premiere of
one of the year’s best films, in the presence of one of the film's most
distinctive subjects, Spooner Oldham. The award-winning Muscle Shoals
is a deeply felt love letter and road-trip tone poem to the sound and
the spirit of collaboration across social, racial and sonic
distinctions,” explained Molyneaux.
Watch the trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=auGUm2r0cLs
The story of Muscle Shoals, Alabama is essentially the story of two recording studios (Fame and Muscle Shoals Sound)
and the music –and music legends-- that left an indelible mark on both a
small backwater town and on popular culture and music. The film deftly
chronicles the sounds (“Mustang Sally”, “Wild Horses”, “I Never Loved A
Man”) as well as the legends who recorded there –from Wilson Pickett to
Bob Dylan, Lynryd Skynrd to the Staple Singers, and hidden sonic
instigators, many interviewed or appearing in performance, including
Rick Hall, The Swampers, Gregg Allman, Mick Jagger, Spooner Oldham,
Percy Sledge, Aretha Franklin, Keith Richards, Clarence Carter, Jimmy
Cliff, Alicia Keys, and Bono among others. Also featured: Dan Penn,
Donna Jean Godchaux, Donnie Fritts, W.C. Handy, Sam Phillips, Earl
Montgomery.
Muscle Shoals
also provides a powerful endorsement of the way the town, the studio
and the sound transcended the realities of Southern racial politics, as
relationships were forged with black and white musicians and musical
styles, before and after the Civil Rights Era.
Directed by Greg “Freddy” Camalier, Muscle Shoals
is his first foray into filmmaking. A former commercial real estate
agent from Boulder, CO, Camalier teamed up with his old friend (and the
film’s producer) Stephen Badger for a ‘Southern Route” road trip a few
years back, stumbling one late night onto Muscle Shoals without
realizing just how significant the town had been to forging the sound of
music they both loved. Stephen Badger had in the past attended the
Ponderosa Stomp and was inspired to hear Rick Hall and others speak
about the “sound” and its significance. Camalier in Rolling Stone:
"The coming together of races at that time, as well as the landscape
and this rural, beautiful town, as well as the singing river, as well as
these incredible characters and all the other musicians down there – it
all sort of came together."

Filmmaker Examines The Legend of Zelda
Filmmaker Examines The Legend of Zelda
and Its Cultural Influence In New Documentary
Players of the Legend of Zelda games have grown up to become creatives, and evidence of their lasting admiration of the series is often found in their work. Beyond the Veil Productions announces: It's Dangerous To Go Alone...The Movie, which will look at the impact the series has had on the arts, culture, and entertainment of the last 25 years.
Sarasota filmmaker, Joe Granato has launched a Kickstarter campaign for "It's Dangerous To Go Alone...The Movie," a documentary that will examine the ubiquity and cultural influence of one of Nintendo's most iconic franchises, The Legend of Zelda. Through its own adventure story narrative, the film will explore the works of a generation of artists whose first impetus for creativity was found while saving Zelda's fantasy world of Hyrule.
Keeping true to the spirit of the series, the filmmaker has announced that one method of distribution for the film will be in game form. On the project's Kickstarter, a video shows an early draft of a unique adventure game being played on an iPad. The evolution of this will become a full game where a player will navigate a fantastic world in search of segments of the documentary, bonus material, and behind the scenes footage. For those looking for a more linear method of viewing, traditional distribution is also planned.
The film's website, http://www.TheZeldaMovie.com, is also a homage to the 8-bit era of gaming and the original NES Zelda game. The site's method of navigation is its own pixelated adventure, which features some of the film's interviewees as NPC helpers. By beating the web game, the player is rewarded with a two-minute look at coverage of the Symphony of the Goddesses (a four movement symphony based on Zelda music) concert in Miami, FL.

Bob Dylan & The Band "Down In The Flood" DVD
Bob Dylan & The Band "Down In The Flood"
Comes to DVD on September 25
The Story Of Bob Dylan & The Band
The Story Of Bob Dylan & The Band
Features exclusive new interviews with Garth Hudson, Ronnie Hawkins,
band producer John Simon & tour drummer Mickey Jones
In
1966 Bob Dylan began his first electric world tour. It was a landmark
moment, both for Dylan and for the history of rock music, and it
bitterly divided his audience.
Backing
Dylan on stage was an obscure group of Canadian musicians collectively
known as The Hawks. In the months following the tour they would join
Dylan during a lengthy convalescence in New York's Catskill Mountains;
when both parties re-emerged, Dylan had undergone an artistic
transformation that sent ripples across American music and The Hawks
had become simply 'The Band', one of the most important recording
groups of their generation.
This
is the story of the relationship between Dylan and The Band, the
legendary amateur recordings that they made together in Woodstock,
their re-invention of American music and their continued albeit
sporadic relationship during the 1970s.
Featuring
new interviews with Garth Hudson; Band producer John Simon; The Hawks'
66 tour drummer, Mickey Jones; the man who assembled and tutored the
Hawks and from whom they took their name, Ronnie Hawkins; Dylan
guitarist, Charlie McCoy; Band biographer Barney Hoskyns; Basement
Tapes Archivist, Sid Griffin, Isis magazine's Derek Barker and Rolling
Stone's Anthony De Curtis.
Also
features rare footage, archive interviews, seldom seen photographs and
the music that changed the world, all at once making for the finest
program on this element of Bob Dylan and The Band's respective and
communal careers yet to emerge.

Circle Jerks "My Career As A Jerk" DVD
Circle Jerks "My Career As A Jerk"
To Be Released on DVD September 25
I
was a participant on a very long musical adventure through all the fun
and miserable times and thinking about this I don't know if i'd change
any of it!
- Keith Morris
From the beginning, LA punk band the CIRCLE JERKS
were rooted in controversy. Formed by ex members of Black Flag and Red
Cross (now Redd Kross) in late 1979, the band came to encapsulate the
image, sound and energy of California Hardcore Punk.
Filmmaker David Markey (1991: The Year Punk Broke, The Slog Movie)
mixes in-depth interviews, rare live footage and historical perspective
to illustrate the story of one of the most influential bands in the
American underground.
"I was at many of these shows, and let me tell you, there wasn't a tighter band in Los Angeles at the time," said Markey. "Making this film reminded me just how truly great they were."
My
Career as a Jerk follows the band from their early days and classic
debut to navigating the independent label and touring scene of the 80s
to the addictions, fights and injuries that forced their break up.
Of course the story doesn't quite end there...
Features
interviews with members Keith Morris, Greg Hetson, Lucky Leher. Earl
Liberty, Zander Schloss as well as J. Mascis (Dinosaur Jr), Henry
Rollins (Black Flag), Brian Baker (Minor Threat, Bad Religion), and
more.
Bonus Materials include: Deleted Scenes and Bonus Interviews

50th Anniversaries of Beatles and Muhammad Ali
50th Anniversaries of Beatles and Muhammad Ali Commemorated in Newly Released Documentaries on DVD
The Beatles: Their Golden Age
Ali: The Man, The Moves, The Mouth
In
commemoration of the 50th anniversaries for the Beatles and Ali, Music
Video Distributors (MVD) has announced the release of two documentaries
on DVD: The Beatles: Their Golden Age (one hour, $9.95) and Ali: The Man, The Moves, The Mouth (one
hour, $9.95). The Ali DVD documentary is narrated by one of boxing's
most-acclaimed sportscasters, Bert Sugar, and is one of his last works
before his death in March.
In August of 1962,
Ringo Starr replaced drummer Pete Best in an English band that few
Americans knew of then, completing what would soon be the biggest
entertainment act in history, the Beatles. Soon after, young Cassius
Clay (later known as Muhammad Ali) began training for his biggest fight
to date, a bout with the former heavyweight champion of the world,
Floyd Patterson, who he would defeat handily when they met the
following month. The news crews of the day couldn't get enough of the
two events, and those unassuming, yet ballyhooed beginnings changed
popular culture and sports forever!
The
Ali documentary is based on a book of like title by Les Krantz, who
also produced the documentary. In it, are highlights of all of Ali's
biggest fights, including "The Fight of the Century," in 1971, in which
two undefeated heavyweight champions, Ali and Joe Frazier, amazed fans
with their stamina and tenacity.
Ali, the dethroned
heavyweight champion, had lost his boxing license earlier when he
refused to be inducted as a draftee into the U.S. Army. With Ali
absent, Frazier had won the championship in 1970. You'll witness
Frazier beat Ali in the 1971 bout in this documentary, but, in their
rematch, "The Thrilla in Manilla," Ali came back to win over Frazier.
Both matches are on the DVD. Hyping the rematch, Ali states on camera,
"It'll be a thrilla and a killa and a chilla when I get the Gorilla in
Manilla." Also included is "The Rumble in Jungle" in Zaire where Ali
retook the championship, defeating George Foreman.
Lots of rare footage
distinguishes this documentary from other films about Ali's career.
"Most Americans today don't realize that Ali spent a lot of time in
Britain in the beginning of his boxing career," Krantz said. "We used
some superb footage of Ali shot over in England where he had some early
professional fights." The Brits were curious about this outspoken black
man whose brash style was not what British TV viewers were used to
seeing. "The British footage is why our documentary has a bit of a
different look than other Ali films," Krantz said, "so it has a lot of
Ali footage that most Americans haven't seen." In addition to
highlights of fights with Englishmen Henry Cooper and Joe Bugner, Ali
offers plenty of his amusing quips in the documentary.
Ali's rhetoric was
colorful. "I'm the King!" he shouts in one scene shot in London, as he
hyped a fight. "You got a queen, but you ain't got no King! I'm the
King!" Almost as colorful as Ali is the documentary's narrator Bert
Sugar who perpetually wore a trademark fedora hat and almost always had
a fat cigar he'd wiggle at you. Sugar had a special relationship with
Ali. In order to make his calls better when he covered an Ali fight,
the sportscaster once sparred with the Ali . . . just to learn what it
might be like. When he spoke of it, he'd raise his fists to demonstrate
how he jabbed at Ali and he'd bob and weave like a prize fighter as he
gave his account. "Seeing Bert, with his 'dukes up,' ready to poke
you," Krantz said, "was an intimidating experience, even though he was
seventy something when he did with me."
"You can't imagine what
a thrill it was for me, " producer Krantz said, "to work on
back-to-back documentaries of the heroes of my youth, Ali and the
Beatles."
The latter work, The Beatles: Their Golden Age, tells
the story of the Beatles from their beginning in 1960s, thru Ringo
joining the group in 1962, to the very end in 1970 when the Beatles
broke up. In addition to their world tours, the documentary has
highlights of their movies, all five of them. You'll witness them
dancing and singing their way across the screen, including a portion on
the making of their first movie, A Hard Day's Night. Also included are scenes from Help!, Yellow Submarine, Magical Mystery Tour, and Let it Be.
Not
every scene in the Beatles documentary is as familiar as the boys'
movies. Rare footage in Krantz's documentary include John Lennon
reading his from his poetry book; Paul McCartney angrily lecturing a
newsman about revealing his LSD usage; George Harrison batting his
eyes at his new wife Patty Boyd, and Ringo clowning around in the Irish
countryside with the other Beatles. "We liked to show a side of the
boys that was seldom very public," Krantz said. The famous scenes are
here too: a repentant John explaining his remark that the group was
"bigger than Jesus;" the Beatles arriving in London as they returned
from their world tour, and their triumphant return to their hometown,
Liverpool.

The newly released DVD documentary, The Beatles: Their Golden Age,
(one hour, from MVD, $9.95,) commemorates the 50th anniversary of when
the Beatles, as we know them now, became complete on August 18,
1962-the day Ringo Starr formally joined John Lennon, Paul McCartney,
and George Harrison, who formed the group in 1960. The group, with
Ringo, became the most popular entertainment act in history.

Kovacs, whose offbeat humor graced
the airwaves for just a decade in the 1950s and 60s, served healthy
portions of the offbeat to his audiences, who had never seen anything
quite like this cigar-wielding charmer. Wickedly funny but not
offensive, Kovacs’ unique humor and flair for improvisation would
ripple across generations, influencing TV funnymen from Johnny Carson,
Monty Python and David Letterman to Jim Henson, Pee Wee Herman and Saturday Night Live.
The first 6-Disc DVD collection,
curated by noted film/television historian Ben Model, was designed to
appeal to Kovacs fans already familiar with his work, and was priced at
$69.97. This second 3-Disc DVD collection, priced at $29.93, is
designed to introduce a broader audience to the comedic icon. Kovacs,
who died in a 1962 car accident, left behind an unparalleled body of
work that survives thanks to the indefatigable efforts of his wife and
co-star, the late Edie Adams (www.edieadams.com).
With more than 150 half hours of early television in the archive,
Kovacs’ legacy and archive is perhaps the largest collection of
privately owned early television in existence.
Fans who pre-order The Ernie Kovacs Collection
direct from ShoutFactoryStore.com will receive as a gift with purchase,
an exclusive bonus DVD containing seven episodes of Kovacs’ game show Take A Good Look,
all unseen since their original broadcast. Panelists/guests include

set in 2011, a Kovacs revival is in full swing. In April of 2012,
Shout! Factory released a single set DVD The ABC Specials, and a long lost, previously unreleased comedy album, Percy Dovetonsils….Thpeaks
was released on vinyl, CD and digital formats on June 19 of this year.
Additionally, a series of special live events focusing on his work were
produced at the Paley Center for Television in New York, the American
Cinematheque in Los Angeles, the Museum of the Moving Image in New York
and the Long Beach (CA) Museum of Art. Additional events are planned in
the near future in Washington, DC and Los Angeles.

SAUL BASS ON FILM!
SAUL BASS ON FILM! (DAY ONE):
Commercials, Titles, Shorts and Rarities
Saturday, June 23rd | 5:30pm
“Saul Bass wasn’t just an artist who contributed to the first several minutes of some of the greatest movies in history -- in my opinion his body of work qualifies him as one of the best filmmakers of one of this, or any other time.“ - Steven Spielberg
Whether you realize it or not, you’ve been touched by and have admired designer/filmmaker Saul Bass -- his striking work is ubiquitous to the modern eye, and his name has become synonymous with graphic design. You’ve frequently taken in his elegant, striking logos, from the AT&T “death star” to the silhouetted Girl Scout cookie sisters. He single-handedly reinvented the movie title sequence (Vertigo, West Side Story, Exodus and Goodfellas? All Bass creations), illustrated the most stylistically influential movie posters, and probably created the best film sequence Hitchcock ever directed -- yes, the shower scene from Psycho. Yet an equally brilliant area of his work remains vastly underseen: commercials, whimsical educational and industrial films, a fantastical Ray Bradbury adaptation, and Phase IV, one of the most visually striking sci-fi features from the genre’s Seventies golden age. With precise efficiency, Bass (with his wife/collaborator Elaine) communicated enormous feeling and information into the smallest of spaces, making him not only of our greatest designers or filmmakers -- but one of the great eyes of the 20th century. With a big thank you to the Academy Film Archive and Jennifer Bass, tonight’s program includes the lecture documentary Bass on Titles, a selection of Bass’ rare commercials, excerpts from his industrial films, The Searching Eye (created for the 1964 World’s Fair), his beloved pull-out-all-stops Why Man Creates, and more!

Trentemøller Premieres New Video For "My Dreams"
| Trentemøller Premieres New Video For "My Dreams"
feat. Marie Fisker (Acoustic Version) on Noisey
"Whether you like your beats to purr or roar, chances are there's something for you in Dane Anders Trentemøller..." - Pitchfork
|
Danish indie-electronic artist Anders Trentemøller has debuted a brand new video for the live acoustic version of "My Dreams" with Noisey. Featuring the sultry vocals of previous collaboratorMarie Fisker, Trentemøller released "My Dreams" digitally and on 7" for Record Store Day via his own In My Room label. The single is "a soft, euphoric pop-ambient cover of the bluesy 1984 rocker by influential Hollywood punks the Gun Club," explains SPIN. The acoustic video follows the first "My Dreams" clip which was comprised of behind the scenes and live footage from the producer's incendiary US tour last fall. Featuring his lauded full band and guest appearances by expert theremin player Dorit Chrysler and Coco Sumner (I Blame Coco), the tour concluded with the band's late night TV debut on Late Night with Carson Daly.
Last fall, Trentemøller released Reworked / Remixed that celebrated some of the producer's favorite remixes he's crafted for other artists, as well as his own songs that other musicians have reworked.Featuring UNKLE, I Blame Coco, Depeche Mode, Modeselektor with Thom Yorke, Efterklang, Mew, Kasper Bjørke and many more, CMJ said, the "beats are crisp and instruments are perfectly mixed, mastered and balanced, fitting together like pieces in a very exact glass puzzle."
More information about Noisey:
Noisey.com is the music channel from the makers of VICE. So you know its going to be good. And fun. The shows are about anything and everything concerning music-the best live jams, geeky record stores clerks, smarmy critics, boob-flashing fans, destroyed hotel rooms, and roadies. Never underestimate the roadies. The Noisey Youtube channel made its debut in February with M.I.A.'s "Bad Girls," and VICE-produced A$AP Rocky video, "Wassup." Since then the channel has racked up loads of online content with everyone from David Lynch to Odd Future. On YouTube, Noisey offers music fans the most extensive slate of original online music programming to date, covering not only the artists that matter most, but the trends and opinions that make up today's music culture.

The Hundred In The Hands "Keep It Low"
The Hundred In The Hands Share Andy Stott Remix,
Announce North American Tour Dates
Check Out Andy Stott’s Remix of “Keep It Low” HERE
Upcoming North American Tour Dates
5/15 - Brooklyn, NY - Glasslands
6/14 – Toronto, ON – Wrong Bar (NXNE w/Purity Ring)
6/15 – Chicago, IL – Empty Bottle
6/18 – Philadelphia, PA – Kung Fu Necktie
6/19 – Washington, DC – Rock & Roll Hotel
6/26 – San Francisco, CA – Rickshaw Stop
6/27 – Los Angeles, CA – The Echo
* More dates to be announced soon
The Hundred In The Hands is releasing their new album RED NIGHT on June 12th via Warp Records, and today the band has shared Andy Stott’s ethereal remix of their single “Keep It Low.” The remix swells with added bass and percussion, which Stott transposes against Eleanore Everdell’s transfixing vocals throughout. It can be found on the 12-inch “Keep It Low” single, which includes an original B-side (“Mountains”), and additional remixes from JD Twitch, who turns in two great Optimo reworks. The single will see a release on May 28th via Warp Records as well. The band is also announcing a handful of North American tour dates, including an album preview show at Brooklyn’s Glasslands tomorrow, where they’ll be debuting new material from RED NIGHT live for the first time.
Of the Andy Stott remix, the band says, “We were listening to Andy Stott’s “Passed Me By” and “We Stay Together” EP’s a lot as we started the record. So many good ideas and textures, with low end in the extreme that kind of rattled our minds a bit. When it came to looking for people to remix, he was first on the list.”
RED NIGHT is a self-produced meditation on separation and reunion, love nearly lost and the long night back to it; a chronicle of late-hour pining awash in digital glow and urban buzzing. Album opener “Empty Stations” begins with a haunting string arrangement that is overtaken by a propulsive rhythm and Eleanore’s spellbinding vocal turns. “Come With Me” guitar stabs, icy keyboard, and polyrhythm underscore the lyrical siren’s call. The heart broken vocal on “Faded” wraps itself around the spiraling bell and fragile arrangements to devastating effect.
The goth R&B monster “Stay the Night” is a tale of yearning with a seductive slowed-down groove. The vast soundscapes of “Lead In The Light” start out sparse and build to an otherworldly climax and then back down again. RED NIGHT is an opportunity to enter the winding tunnels of The Hundred in the Hands’ nocturnal city where time stretches, tempos drop, and guitars plunge rumbling and throbbing out against denser and denser vocals as the story unfolds. The band’s boundary-pushing sound is unafraid to marry minimalism and abstraction with big melodies.

The Hundred In The Hands is releasing their new album RED NIGHT on June 12th via Warp Records, and today the band has shared Andy Stott’s ethereal remix of their single “Keep It Low.” The remix swells with added bass and percussion, which Stott transposes against Eleanore Everdell’s transfixing vocals throughout. It can be found on the 12-inch “Keep It Low” single, which includes an original B-side (“Mountains”), and additional remixes from JD Twitch, who turns in two great Optimo reworks. The single will see a release on May 28th via Warp Records as well. The band is also announcing a handful of North American tour dates, including an album preview show at Brooklyn’s Glasslands tomorrow, where they’ll be debuting new material from RED NIGHT live for the first time.
Of the Andy Stott remix, the band says, “We were listening to Andy Stott’s “Passed Me By” and “We Stay Together” EP’s a lot as we started the record. So many good ideas and textures, with low end in the extreme that kind of rattled our minds a bit. When it came to looking for people to remix, he was first on the list.”
RED NIGHT is a self-produced meditation on separation and reunion, love nearly lost and the long night back to it; a chronicle of late-hour pining awash in digital glow and urban buzzing. Album opener “Empty Stations” begins with a haunting string arrangement that is overtaken by a propulsive rhythm and Eleanore’s spellbinding vocal turns. “Come With Me” guitar stabs, icy keyboard, and polyrhythm underscore the lyrical siren’s call. The heart broken vocal on “Faded” wraps itself around the spiraling bell and fragile arrangements to devastating effect.

Get Down, Get Dirty, Get Dead -
with Richard Griffith's homage to 70s sex and horror!
"Smart funny and thoroughly steeped in the 70s exploitation tradition...
with a generous amount of sleaze."
- FANGORIA, DVD of the Month
"A brutal, blasphemous horror sex comedy...a howl from start to finish."
-TWITCH FILM
One of the most talked about horror movies of the year!
From
the makers of the cult hit "Nun of That" comes this irreverent blood,
boobs and bellbottom-soaked tribute to seventies exploitation sleaze
featuring supernatural sex, disco dancing deaths, roller skating
sinners - and beautiful women possessed and perverted by evil.
Rex
Romanski is a 1970s disco swinger who loves and leaves the wrong
woman - the wicked black magic priestess Rita Maria. And now it's up to
Rex to undo the scorned Rita's rampage of revenge, murder and
destruction before she claims more lives, and takes over the soul of
the woman he loves in this decadent and devilish decent into
sexploitation!

ABOUT CITIZEN TWAIN
Val Kilmer will present his one man play, Citizen Twain, in a limited run at The Historic Masonic Lodge at Hollywood Forever Cemetery over just two weekends this March.
"The recent news of my death has been greatly exaggerated." - Mark Twain
Created and performed by acclaimed actor Val Kilmer, and seen recently in development by sold out audiences in venues in Los Angeles such as Disney Concert Hall, Tim Robbins' The Actors' Gang, and The United States Veterans Artists' Alliance Hall, Mr. Kilmer's production delves into the heart and soul of Samuel Clemens and conjures forth the great spirit of Mark Twain, America's greatest storyteller.
Deeply entertaining, with great wit, song and prose, the play weaves Twain's biographical themes into a play that proclaims and takes joy in the marvel of words, which, as Twain says in the play, "Form the ladder to my heaven." Storytelling was a lifeline for Twain, and in Kilmer's Citizen Twain, this lifeline continues into and after Twain's death, making it an appropriate choice to perform the show in The Masonic Lodge at Hollywood Forever Cemetery.
