@Pfister:196jdtno:

…Yo asocie la imagen de la portada de DM directamente a Robert Smith. Pero los que tendrian que demandar a Corbijn son DM.
Y por cierto, abril tambien es el mes del cumple de Robert (21 abril 1959 = 47 palos y todavia no se le ha caido el pelo )

…es que yo no creo que existaa álguien que no haya asociado ambas imágenes ...en ocasiones Robert ha usado pelucas ...y visto de cerca cómo he podido verle en várias ocasiones se le nota más la edad

...ah! Y sobre la supuesta deenúncia al final se deduce que fué todo una broma avanzada del April´s fool....ya que ayer en la web de "Depeig" salía tachado el dibujito del "plumífero"

**"Janis Joplin Movie: Pink, Britney, Johansson, or Lohan?"

Hollywood stars including PINK, LINDSAY LOHAN, ZOOEY DESCHANEL, SCARLETT JOHANSSON and BRITNEY SPEARS are battling it out to see who will land the coveted role of JANIS JOPLIN in a new biopic. Director PENELOPE SPHEERIS has already met with Pink, Lohan and Deschanel and still wants to speak with Johansson. The film, titled THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO JANIS, will chronicle the life of the 1960s blues singer, who was known for her outrageous performances. Spheeris says, "(Pink) would be my first choice, but she may have scheduling conflicts." Pink's rep confirms, "She would do just about anything to be part of that project!" Regarding Spears, Spheeris says, "Her agent asked if I could meet with her. Music ability is important, but most of all, the actress must have the spirit of Janis. "Each of the actresses who has expressed interest in the role (would) bring her own special talents to the part." The film would start shooting in September (06) and would go head-to-head with another movie on Joplin, PIECES OF MY HEART, starring RENEE ZELLWEGER.

Michael Hutchence Biopic
Posted: Thursday March 30th, 2006 11:35pm
Source: The Hollywood News
Author: Garth Franklin

The team that developed "I, Lucifer", producing partners Richard Hewitt and Clark Westerman, have reportedly partnered with director Nick Egan on an as of yet untitled Michael Hutchence biopic reports The Hollywood News.

The departed INXS frontman and Egan were good pals, with Egan designing the INXS "X" album cover, directed videos for the band, as well as vids for Kylie, Oasis, Bon Jovi, Rancid, and Alanis Morissette and Duran Duran.

Todd Gilmer Productions will also be developing the pic apparently, no word yet as to how much of Hutchence's life the project will cover and who else is involved at present.

"Lenny to play Jimi"

ROCKER Lenny Kravitz will play Jimi Hendrix in a biopic about the legendary guitarist's life.

The movie is being produced by Hendrix family friend Elle Von Lear.
The movie will use the original recordings and expose new details about the counter-culture hero's 1970 death in London.

La actriz adecuada para encarnar a Janis Joplin es Lili Taylor. Y punto.

Lenny Kravitz haciendo de Hendrix?

y que lo dejen desecar al sol.

[Marniello]

Para Hendrix propongo a Isaach de Bankolé, el negrata visto en Manderlay (el que se tira a la prota) o Coffee & Cigarrettes.

¿Kravitz haciendo de Hendrix?. Pero si cuando le toque tocar la guitarra con los dientes se dejara la piñata en la cuerdas…

¡Joder! Yo es que no me inclinaría, ¡por ni una! Bueno, tal vez, la que hizo de Reagan en El Exorcista. No sé por qué, me la ha recordado ésa foto que nos ha dejado Madam Green. No por nada, ¿eh? Que yo adoraba a Janis Joplin…

Lo de Kravitz, me parece una broma de mal gusto... Aunque, mirándolo bien, tampoco se trata de ninguna barbarie... Es ¿músico? (al menos lo intenta), es negro, y..., nada más. No sé... Tampoco me imagino a nadie en su papel... Empiezan a cansarme las películas de los grandes mitos musicales. ¿Se ha puesto de moda ó qué?. Es cómo haber leido un buen libro, ver su adaptación en la gran pantalla, y darte cuenta que la han fastidiado. No siempre pasa pero, cuándo así sucede, ¡qué chasco! Luego, no puedes volver a leer el libro sin tener presente el careto de los actores, por no hablar de otras muchísimas cosas...

FAGES-BARBERÁN-COSTA MONTEIRO on tour

Working together since 2000 as a trio or in different formations (as CREMASTER or I TRENI INERTI).
The music of this trio has moved from the original instruments: trumpet, accordion and mixing board documented in Atami with Taku Unami, Masahiko Okura
and Masafumi Ezaki (Hibari music, 2003) and Octante with Margarida Garcia (L'innomable, 2005) to a current configuration that integrates trumpet, accordion,
acoustic turntable, engines and objects.
This new instrumental set-up can be heard in cds such as Atolón, (Rossbin, 2004) and Istmo (Creative Sources, 2005) and in an upcoming cd on the portuguese
label Esquilo.
This is the first European tour of this trio.

6th: BOLOGNA/XM-24
7th: ROMA / IL CANTIERE
9th: GENEVE/ CAVE 12
10th:LYON / GRAND GUIGNOL
11th:PARIS / ATELIER TAMPON
12th:ROTTERDAM /WORM
14th:LILLE/LA MALTERIE
15th: ANTWERPEN/ TBC
16th: DER HAAG/ARCHIEF
17th:AMSTERDAMM/KRAAKGELUIDEN

Istmo (creative sources)

A feral antidote to the "regular" concept of trio is furnished by these lucid assassins, who keep releasing great music standing halfway through dual-purpose
jumbles of noisy poormouthing and a radical reinvention of the act of stripping sound of every tourist beauty. This is aural toxicity at the very top, in kindless perpetrations of instrumental throwaway: what Fages does with a simple turntable
would make Pierre Henry proud - or envious? - while the damp air coming out of Barberàn's trumpet grottoes meets Costa Monteiro's accordion in catarrhal
metamorphoses of phlegmatic triangulations. No need for hocus-pocus, hand tricks or complex organizations of useless gentle movements: feel yourself like
crossing a creek, tripping on a rock, being overwhelmed by your own ridiculousness - then you realize you just fell into an industrial sewer.

New 22 Pistepirkko EP on Bad Afro

Bad Afro’s affection for the Finnish rock scene is well known. In the past we have released The Flaming Sideburns, Sweatmaster, Slideshaker, The Ultra Bimboos and many more and now 22 Pistepirkko joins the list. A new EP will see the light of day May 8th by one of the most popular Finnish bands outside their home country.

The EP will include a re-mastered version of their first 7” in English called “Ou Wee”. This single was originally released in 1986 on Pygmi Records and is today a collectors items. It was the first time they used English vocals and they kept that tradition for the Kings of Hong Kong album from 1987 and have been doing so ever since.

The EP will also include the very first recordings by The Others a.k.a. 22PP. The Others are 22 Pistepirkko’s garage rock alter ego who play covers of personal favourites like The Troggs, Velvet Underground and Hank Williams. The style is primitive and wild. Old instruments, vintage R&R sound. Here they cover three Link Wray tunes: “Scatter”, “Law of the Jungle” and “Zipcode”.

The Others a.k.a. 22PP will release their debut album in late May on the own label Bone Voyage Recording Company and there are plans for a tour in late spring. The band was originally only called The Others but since there was a crap UK band by the same name they had to change it to The Others a.k.a. 22PP.

The 22 Pistepirkko EP will be released May 8th along with the new On Trial album “Forever” and the upcoming The Flaming Sideburns compilation “Back To The Grave”.

STRANGE ATTRACTOR

Everything Is Closer

M4S 29 CD, 13-04-2006

'Everything Is Closer' is a co-release by M4S and BIG BLUE RECORDS.

About the album 'Out of a warm, acoustic jazz atmosphere springs a
cold, sequenced synth pattern. Full throttle drumming and raunchy
double sax blurts turn into minimal glitches. Raw hiphop beats are
shaded by eerie, floating electro-acoustic soundscapes.'

On their debut CD 'Everything Is Closer', STRANGE ATTRACTOR grazes the
edges of jazz, ambient and soulful electronica, combining NIELS VAN
HOORN's unique approach to bass clarinet and impressive arsenal of
saxophones and other acoustic and electronic wind instruments and
effects with the arranging and production skills of RICHARD VAN
KRUYSDIJK, who is also responsible for all other instruments
(keyboards, drums, electronics, etc.) and cover artwork.

Broken beat lovers will appreciate the versatile rhythmic drive,
sometimes complex, but always dedicated to the groove, whereas ambient
fans are treated to some lush textures, delicately woven by electronica
and a wide range of (manipulated) brass and wood wind instruments.

On top of this, special guest vocals by such diverse singers as Edward
Ka-Spel (The Legendary Pink Dots), Richard Sinclair (Caravan, Hatfield
& the North) and Marie-Claudine Vanvlemen (Sonar Lodge) add even more
colour to the rich sound palatte of this release.

2xLP=CD 'Everything Is Closer' is a split-label CD release by Big Blue
Records and Music For Speakers. It compiles the 2 vinyl releases
'Rorschach' (Music for Speakers 2004 | M4S 26 LP) and 'Rorschach II'
(Music for Speakers 2005 | M4S 28 LP)

Daniel Johnston se despide de los escenarios con un nuevo disco para Sketchbook/ Houston Party

DANIEL JOHNSTON
El 2 de mayo se publica “Lost & Found” (Sketchbook/Houston Party), el nuevo disco de Daniel Johnston. Se trata de una de las obras más impactantes de su carrera. Como siempre, su temática se centra en el amor: el bueno, el malo y el indiferente. La actualidad informativa del californiano residente en Texas no acaba aquí. La aparición del disco coincide con la comercialización de la película “The Devil And Daniel Johnston”, que compitió en la categoría de documentales en los últimos Oscar y ha sido premiada en la última edición del festival de Sundance. Ha sido descrita como “un retrato de locura, creatividad y amor”. En marzo empezó a exhibirse en cines estadounidenses. Por otro lado, se han organizado dos exposiciones, en un museo y una galería neoyorquinas, sobre las pinturas y dibujos de Daniel. Finalmente, el 14 de abril se celebra en Londres un concierto especial, de homenaje a Johnston, en el que varios de sus fans del gremio musical compartirán escenario con él: de momento está confirmada la presencia de Mark Linkous (Sparklehorse), Jason Pierce (Spiritualized) y Jad Fair.

Neil Hannon returns as The Divine Comedy in June with the follow up to 2004’s ‘Absent Friends’. ‘Victory For The Comic Muse’ will be released on Parlophone on June 19th. This will be preceded by a new single on June 12th.

The album was recorded virtually live in the studio over a period of two weeks in late 2005. Modern recording techniques were set aside in favour of analogue tape and as few microphones as possible. The entire project was arranged and produced by Neil himself and features many long-standing Divine Comedy collaborators.

Neil will be touring Europe with an 8-piece band in May. The dates are:
