Anthony Michael Hall talks Teen Stardom, John Hughes, and Playing the Geek

Anthony Michael Hall is most known for the films that he made with John Hughes in the 80’s such as The Breakfast Club and Sixteen Candles. Since then, he has worked on many projects, ranging from science fiction series The Dead Zone to indies like his newest filmNatural Selection.

Here, Hall and Jesse talk about his time working as a teen actor and the celebrity he acquired at a young age, his relationship with John Hughes, and his later in life career.

He can be seen in his new movie Natural Selection. More information can be found here http://www.naturalselectionthefilm.com/

Garfield minus Garfield

http://garfieldminusgarfield.net/

Garfield Minus Garfield is a site dedicated to removing Garfield from the Garfield comic strips in order to reveal the existential angst of a certain young Mr. Jon Arbuckle. It is a journey deep into the mind of an isolated young everyman as he fights a losing battle against loneliness and depression in a quiet American suburb. 

Shmu ~ Pictionary

Shmu is Sam Chown, who you might know from his other project Zorch. (What can I say, the guy loves naming bands after made-up words.) Under this guise, Chown builds math-rock shoegaze epics with his sampler and a drum kit. It’s visionary stuff that sounds like heaven and hits like hell. “Pictionary,” from Shmu’s upcoming album Shhh!!!!, grounds the violent percussion and frantic arpeggios of Hella in the breathless dreamscapes of My Bloody Valentine — or rather, it streamlines those unwieldy tempos and instrumental spasms into something more like a tidal wave. There is masterful, inventive musicality at play, but the songwriting is front and center.

Explone

http://blog.kexp.org/2016/08/26/song-of-the-day-explone-born-at-the-wrong-time/

Explone – Born at the Wrong Time (MP3)

Seattle rock group Explone has been making airy pop with a classic rock undertow with great success since 2005. The four-piece flaunts a guitar driven sound that lead man Patrick Porter explores with his lofty voice and uplifting hooks. It’s certainly music that brings an element of euphoria to its listeners, so it’s no surprise that Porter described their newest album as a “quest for joy.” However, it is surprising that Porter credits the inspiration for the album to a suicide fence on the Aurora Bridge – a not exactly joy inducing object. But while the music of Explone has always been about making joy tangible through music, it has been equally committed to drawing it from a place of melancholy. The sentiment certainly explains why and how Porter found joy in the dark connotations of the bridge, seeing beauty in the possibility that the fence could prevent a suicide and lead to someone possibly living a longer, happier life. The inspiration of the fence, and the theme of generating joy through its absence that it led to, is displayed seamlessly throughout the album as Porter has crafted ten songs full of melancholy laced lyrics that swell and rise with joyous melodies.

Today’s Song of the Day, album cut “Born at the Wrong Time”, captures the duality of the album excellently, as the song generates pleasant sounds while Porter sings “its never going to get easier for you.” The guitar driven track displays both the punch of punk riffs and the guitar driven melodies of classic rock while Porter’s voice climbs and soars. The song’s classic rock tint certainly displays why the group may have been born in the wrong time, and the lyrics certainly highlight what a tragedy it is, but Exploner surely isn’t offended by listeners finding joy in their melancholy.

Meatballs - Official Trailer

Meatballs is a 1979 Canadian comedy film directed by Ivan Reitman. It is noted for Bill Murray's first film appearance in a starring role and for launching Reitman into a distinguished career of financially successful comedies including Stripes (1981) and Ghostbusters (1984), both starring Murray. The film also introduced child actor Chris Makepeace in the role of Rudy Gerner. It was followed by several sequels, of which only Meatballs III: Summer Job (1986) had any connection to the original.

• According to the DVD commentary, scenes of the first day of camp were the first day of actual shooting for Bill Murray. He was signed to do the film at the last minute because of his commitment to Saturday Night Live. His outfit, the Hawaiian shirt and red shorts, were the clothes he was wearing when he showed up on set.
• Harold Ramis said that Reitman did not know for certain whether Murray would be in the movie until he showed up for the first day of filming.^[3]

Session 3.04 – All About Free Music

With great records and amazing throwbacks, this week’s session was all about free music. We visited some of the best (in)active netlabels, played some records that were just sort ot out of the press and heard songs in Swedish, Ukrainian and Spanish. This on top of the usual English-sung tracks, of course. This was also a particularly rich session in terms of music genres, as we covered a hand-full of them: indie, rock, pop, house and even tango.

Amerika

I remember watching the first couple of episodes of this miniseries when it premiered in '87, and then losing interest and tuning out. I remember full well how boring, pedantic and full of itself it was. Anyone involved in this spectacular flop ought to be embarrassed.

Amerika – suggesting a Russified name for the United States – is an American television miniseries that wasbroadcast in 1987 on ABC. The miniseries inspired a novelization entitled Amerika: The Triumph of the American Spirit. Amerika starred Kris Kristofferson, Mariel Hemingway, Sam Neill, Robert Urich, and a 17-year-old Lara Flynn Boyle in her first major role. Amerika was about life in the United States after a bloodless takeover engineered by the Soviet Union. Not wanting to depict the actual takeover, ABC Entertainment president Brandon Stoddard set the miniseries ten years after the event, focusing on the demoralized American people a decade after the Soviet conquest. The intent, he later explained, was to explore the American spirit under such conditions, not to portray the conflict of the Soviet coup.

Described in promotional materials as "the most ambitious American miniseries ever created," Amerika aired for 14½ hours (including commercials) over seven nights (beginning February 15, 1987), and reportedly cost US$40 million to produce. The miniseries was filmed in the Golden Horseshoe and southwestern OntarioCanadian cities of Toronto, London,^[1] and Hamilton,^[2] as well as various locations in the U.S. state ofNebraska – most notably the small town of Tecumseh, which served as "Milford," the fictional setting for most of the series. Donald Wrye was the executive producer, director, and writer of Amerika, while composer Basil Poledouris scored the miniseries, ultimately recording (with the Hollywood Symphony Orchestra) eight hours of music – the equivalent of four feature films.

In its summary of the 1986–87 US television season, TV Guide called the miniseries "arguably the most boring miniseries in a decade," adding that "ABC'sAmerika tried to hold America hostage for seven tedious nights (and a stupefyingly dull 14½ hours)."

White Market Podcast: Copy Me, Copy You

https://www.mixcloud.com/whitemarketpodcast/session-303-copy-me-copy-you/

On this week’s show, we had the pleasure to talk to Alex Lungu from Copy-Me. Copy-Me is a platform that tries to debunk myths around copying… So, they talk a lot about issues such as copyright, remixing, creativity and so on. The project started as a webseries and was crowdfunded on Indiegogo. Now, Copy-Me is a hub of knowledge and creative resources related to said topics. Much like White Market Podcast, because copyright is such a complex issue, they often delve into parallel themes, such as piracy and web surveillance.

Following the current transformation of White Market into a syndication platform for community radio stations, the interview is also available for download as a standalone piece (two parts), in both WAV and MP3. You can find extra details about the content on each part and extra credits on https://archive.org/details/WMP_Inter...

Session originally aired on July 28th 2016.

Sound Motives episode 3: Mala (Deep Medi/Brownswood)

https://soundcloud.com/soundmotives/episode-3-mala

Earlier this summer, I had the chance to speak with Mala, a DJ, producer, promotor and record label owner from south London, who over the last decade, has played a central role in the development of the dubstep scene. Both his own productions as Mala, and those as Digital Mystikz alongside Coki, are sited as some of the key releases that defined those early days of the genre, and his record label, Deep Medi, has catalogued releases from many of the scene's innovators over the past 10 years. His now legendary club night, DMZ, alongside FWD, has played a seminal role in incubating the genre from it's early form through to today.

Despite dubstep's ever-morphing progression and partial shift into the mainstream through EDM, Mala has remained true to his own personal vision. He's expanded his horizons, and developed both as an artist and a person through his solo album projects which explore the musical and cultural traditions of other countries, firstly Cuba in 2011, and now Peru, fusing them with his south London sound system-focused productions.

In this episode of Sound Motives, we explore Mala's early influences from jungle to Augustus Pablo, his perspectives on the emergence of dubstep, his relationship with the dance floor and club culture, and how the future looks.

Kevin Morby: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert

 by BOB BOILEN • The music of Kevin Morby is fairly straightforward and acoustic for the most part, with traditional, folk-based rock at its core. The mystery and intensity lies in the lyrics. His biting song "I Have Been To The Mountain," performed here at the Tiny Desk and on his 2016 album Singing Saw, was inspired by the 2014 chokehold death of Eric Garner at the hands of a New York City police officer.

That man lived in this town
Till that pig took him down
And have you heard the sound
Of a man stop breathing, pleading?

In this set, Meg Duffy's guitar provides a strong example of the care and craft that goes into these songs — and there's even more of that on Singing Saw, the album that finally hooked me on Morby's music even after good records he'd made with the bands Woods and The Babies, as well as two other solo albums. If you're a latecomer like me, dig in here. If you're already a convert, you'll likely love the clarity of these songs and their stark arrangements.

Singing Saw is available now:

René Marie: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert

by PATRICK JARENWATTANANON • The Colorado River — better known for running through majestic National Parks and powering hydroelectric dams — forms an unlikely backdrop for the creation of a jazz song. But René Marie was answering phones at Denver's jazz radio station KUVO when she sat down across from a fellow volunteer fundraiser. He would soon invite her on a canoeing trip and, without yet having seen the eponymous river, she wrote the giddy "Colorado River Song" on the way there.

René Marie's is the sort of voice which first comes to mind when someone asks for a jazz singer — big and expressive, at home in classic swinging settings and comfortable in crowds. There's plenty to set her apart, though. She made her first recording in her early 40s, so she's a late bloomer by any standard. Her tastes admit many influences, and she's got a penchant for original songwriting, especially where social justice intersects with personal biography. Her folky story-song "This Is (Not) A Protest Song" addresses homelessness and mental illness even in her own family.

Joined by her Experiment In Truth band (John Chin on piano, Elias Bailey on bass, Quentin Baxter on drums), Marie visited NPR headquarters to play songs from her new album Sound Of Red. She never specified the exact nature of that synesthetic idea, though the title track would seem to indicate that it's about the addictive and lusty blood-rush of performing — of seeing red while singing the blues. In the audience was the bold KUVO volunteer from that day 10 years ago. His name is Jesse, and they're now married and live in her home state of Virginia; they drove up together for this Tiny Desk concert.

UN SET DE NUEVE HORAS!!!

https://www.residentadvisor.net/podcast-episode.aspx?id=530

Nine hours, back-to-back, live from Robert Johnson

As a duo, Danilo Plessow (Motor City Drum Ensemble) and Jeremy Fichon (Jeremy Underground) make total sense together. They both got their break as house DJs, fond of classic and rare grooves, before their styles broadened significantly to include jazz, soul, disco, funk and boogie from around the world. They both find plenty of this music through obsessive digging, going to great lengths to source unheard and underappreciated records. As part of this ongoing pursuit, they both belong to a loose community of like-minded "digger DJs" that also includes Floating Points, Sadar Bahar, Red Greg and Hunee, among others. Needless to say, Plessow and Fichon both cherish vinyl. They prefer to play on rotary mixers, and both practice a type of modern disco DJing that's as much about technique as it is attitude. And, as Plessow explains below, they both have plenty in common when it comes to "life and experiences." 

Despite the obvious chemistry, Plessow and Fichon have only become friends and collaborators recently. They played together for the first time last year at Dimensions festival, an impromptu back-to-back closing set. (Fichon is returning to Dimensions this year, and will be joining Suzanne Kraft for RA's boat party.) They've DJ'd together since, but as part of RA's ongoing In Residence series we were excited to give them the canvas of an entire night—Offenbach's Robert Johnson from opening to close. If we can say this ourselves, the night wound up being pretty legendary. The club was packed throughout, with everyone hanging off the pair's every beat. RA.530 is a full recording of the party, an unprecedented (almost) nine-hour podcast that's something of a DJing master class. 

Rachel Barton Pine: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert

by TOM HUIZENGA • The music of Johann Sebastian Bach is essential, like air and water, for many classical musicians. Pianist András Schiff starts every day with Bach — sometimes before breakfast. "It's like taking care of your inner hygiene. There's something very pure about it," he says. Cellist Matt Haimovitz notes that he's been playing and thinking about the Bach Cello Suites for more than 30 years. He even plays them in bars.


Violinist Rachel Barton Pine began playing Bach in church at age 4. Ever since, she's been mastering and re-mastering Bach's set of six Sonatas and Partitas—more than two hours of solo violin music that looms like a proverbial Mount Everest for any serious fiddler. The trick is getting the details down. Bach left us with the notes but not much else. Pine recently analyzed every measure of these works, and prepared a new edition of the music with her own dynamic markings, phrasing indications, bowings and fingerings.


For this performance, Pine chose three contrasting movements from the set and plays them on her Guarneri del Gesu violin, which was built in 1742 — eight years before Bach died. She highlights the spirit of the dance in the "Tempo di Borea" (a Bourée from the First Partita). She unfolds a serene melody, just lightly accompanied, in the "Largo" (from the Third Sonata), and she closes with the intertwining "Fuga" (from the First Sonata), which sounds like three violinists in deep discussion.


Although the Sonatas and Partitas brim with technical demands, Pine says that every time she plays them, it's as if she's "conversing with the very best of friends."
