| Check Out The Trailer For The New Documentary ‘Paul Williams: Still Alive” Posted: 23 Jun 2012 02:00 PM PDT  Paul Williams, who has had a successful career as a songwriter which has been overshadowed by a sort of campy reputation, is the subject of a new documentary, aptly entitled Paul Williams: Still Alive, which is currently running in New York City and was released in Los Angeles this past Friday with a national release to follow shortly. Williams, with his bespectacled golden-tressed look and diminutive size, was almost like a regular schlocky renaissance man of the 1970s. He won multiple Grammy awards and even an Academy Award for his songwriting. He's responsible for The Carpenters "We've Only Just Begun," the sappy yet irresistible ode which almost singlehandedly and arguably ushered in the mellow vibes of the 1970s. He co-wrote Barbara Streisand's "Evergreen" and "The Rainbow Connection," the guiltily pleasurable anthem of the original Muppet Movie from 1979. Williams was the star of the early Brian De Palma 1974 cult classic film The Phantom of the Paradise. He appeared on the Johnny Carson incarnation of The Tonight Show countless times during the 1970s, almost to the point of being a fixture of that program. And he also made appearances on TV shows as diverse as The Odd Couple and The Muppet Show respectively. Currently, he's the President of ASCAP. Not bad for a guy who gets easily dismissed so often as a default product of the cheesy variety [...]      |
| Posted: 23 Jun 2012 01:00 PM PDT  All Fall Down Written by Casey Jones Art by Jason Reeves, Brian Brinlee, Gian Fernando, Anvit, Pericles Junior, Barnaby Bagenda Color by Cirque Studios, Al Jerek Torrijas Letters by Andrew Diroll-Black Edited by William T. Marks Arcana Comics Release Date: December 6, 2011 Cover Price: $19.95 Ah, the old "superheroes lose their powers" story. GoD'ers have undoubtedly seen this storyline hundreds of times. Nearly every comic hero must endure this rite of passage where they lose their power and prove that their heroism comes from more than just their super-strength and heat vision. Given the countless derivations of this concept, writer Casey Jones presents an amazingly unique twist on the one of the most common story angles in his debut comic, All Fall Down [...]      |
| $1.99 MP3 Album Deal: John Coltrane’s ‘Giant Steps’ Posted: 23 Jun 2012 10:00 AM PDT  Giant Steps, one of the all time great jazz records recorded by the heavyweight of the saxophone John Coltrane, is only on sale for an unbelievable $1.99 in MP3 format right now, which has to stand as not only the Deal of the Day, but maybe of the year! This deal is only good for today and tomorrow. Giant Steps, originally released in 1960 on Atlantic Records, has its place in jazz and music history on the same levels as Miles Davis' Kind of Blue. It remains a record that gave the cool medium to the masses, much in the way that Miles' record did (which Coltrane was also a part of). By this release, his 5th album as a leader, Coltrane plays with a surefooted approach on his instrument over arrangements that have almost become standard blueprints for adventurous and complex jazz to the trained ear, and easily accessible and highly listenable to the layman [...]      |

| Happy Birthday To ‘The Avengers’ Director Joss Whedon! Posted: 23 Jun 2012 08:01 AM PDT  Happy Birthday today to Joss Whedon, the screenwriter mastermind who has been responsible for some of the most celebrated science fiction and fantasy releases in recent memory. The writer/director of The Avengers, which has already become the third highest grossing film of all time, is like a contemporary George Lucas or Steven Spielberg, a master of his own domain, globally revered for his wit, smarts, penchant for action with snappy narrative, and unabashed love for all things geek. Whedon was born in New York City on June 23, 1964, to a family of established screenwriters. His grandfather, John, was a writer for the sitcom The Donna Reed Show in the 1950s. His father Tom was an instrumental figure in the writing direction of the classic children's educational program The Electric Company in the 1970s and had a hand in the writing development of the successful sitcom The Golden Girls in the 1980s. His mom taught history at Riverdale Country School also in New York City, a school that Whedon had attended. His younger brothers Jed and Zack are also writers, usually helping out on Joss' projects through the years [...]      |
