Death by stereo ... reports still unconfirmed

Too often the butt of “The Coreys” jokes — some deserved, some not — still hard to deny Corey Haim’s awesomeness in The Lost Boys (and Lucas, plus this hidden gem). With five films in pre- and post-production this year alone, who knows if a comeback was in the works or not, too.

Normally I’d go [...]

Line 'em up

Take your pick for a fave, folks, from Billboard’s list of musician mugshots. I’m still stunned Ol’ Blue Eyes was brought in on a charge of adultery and going with Ozzy in a St. Louis Blues jersey, George Clinton running a close second.

It’s been a busy week for our less law-abiding celebrities. Not only did [...]

Roberta (1935)
A football player inherits a chic Paris fashion house.
Cast: Irene Dunne, Fred Astaire, Ginger Rogers, Randolph Scott Dir: William A. Seiter BW-106 mins, TV-G. 2:00 AM EST. TCM

Tomorrow is Fred and Ginger night on TCM (Ginger Rogers is Star of the Month)… the usual favorites are there… The Gay Divorcee, followed by Top [...]

Monday Night Mashup

OK… not technically a “mash” up, but a mixing of genres to be sure

Sunday Gospel

You know you woke up this morning and went said to yourself… “Self. I wonder if Floyd will post some Baroque music from Bolivia this morning for Sunday Gospel?” Well wonder no more.

Classic Pick O’ the Day: March 6

Buck Privates (1941)
Two small-time con artists enlist in the Army to avoid the police.
Cast: Lee Bowman, Alan Curtis, Bud Abbott, Lou Costello Dir: Arthur Lubin BW-84 mins, TV-G. 2:00 PM EST. TCM.

I love this movie… one of their best. Abbott and Costello, Army boot camp, and the Andrews Sisters singing “Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy [...]

Friday “Night” Fight

OK it’s not “night”, but I’m busy later..

“I’d like to bore you for six or seven minutes …”

“Valleys of Neptune” is out next week.

Look, over there!!!

Admittedly lagging behind in writing my review of American VI, so here’s a little somethin’-somethin’ to tide Threedonia’s Johnny Cash fans over in the meantime.

[D]espite the nod to mortality in the title, an acknowledgment of the closeness of death that runs through most of the album’s 10 songs, Rubin insists that it wasn’t created as [...]

Radio Free Threedonia 2.8 -- Christian Toto and irregular cast of characters

Powered by Podbean.com

While Floyd tended to a gout-stricken foot — get well soon, Mr. Turbo — the RF3D team soldiered on, welcoming guest Christian Toto to the fun. Naturally, he shares his Oscars picks and since he was kind enough to stick around for a few extra minutes, we ragged on Hollywood’s obsession with re-makes, [...]

RIP - T-Bone Wolk

Long-time Hall & Oates bassist T-Bone Wolk, Matthew Lillard’s long-lost uncle still unconfirmed, passed away over the weekend (ever one of the last to know, that’s I), and he was the bass line on “These Are the Breaks”? I did not know that. This one’s for you, Rufus…

Wolk’s age is unknown at deadline. A Yonkers, [...]

Movie Theme Songs, Continued

Piggybacking the opening credits thread and since I don’t remember the last time I jumped into the Top Five fun…

God knows far too many more songs exist in this noggin’, but in the grand tradition of not going overboard with our lists, I humbly submit my crop’s cream. Hope to see some of the others [...]

An unemployed female singer poses as a female impersonator and becomes a star.
Cast: Julie Andrews, James Garner, Robert Preston, Lesley Ann Warren Dir: Blake Edwards C-134 mins, TV-MA. 5:45 PM EST. TCM

I have to admit I’m not familiar with a lot of the films on tomorrow. It’s not often I enjoy [...]

In the words of the almighty Sen. Blutarsky

Ho-ly shi-tuh!!! Depending on what day it is and my mood – am I blues Eric or eclectic Eric? – my choice of favorite album ever vacillates between Exile on Main Street or London Calling (Fair Warning if I’m in a particularly pissy mood, but due to its miniscule-but-packing-a-powerful-punch length, must hit play again after [...]

Monday Night Mashup

Still The Man!

I’ll have a more complete review soon (either later this week or, more likely, next Monday), but suffice to say for now, Johnny Cash’s American VI: Ain’t No Grave does the man’s legacy well, quite well. Clocking in at a Fair Warning-esque 32 minutes, painfully obvious producer Rick Rubin’s drained the well of American Recordings, [...]

Radio Free Threedonia -- Live at 2 PM ... Pacific that is

As mentioned last night, very cool lineup today (we care about you, Threedonians, and do our best to give you cool lineups every week): Stelio Savante, Jonathan Wilson, and working very diligently on snagging just confirmed none other than Larry “Stage Right” O’Connor, fresh back from CPAC, will be joining us for a few [...]

With the deepest of apologies, we finally and proudly present the latest episode of Radio Free Threedonia.

‘Deadheads Are What Liberals Claim to Be But Aren’t’:An Interview with Ann Coulter

From Jambands.com
Published: 2006/06/23
by Taylor Hill
When I called the Clare Booth Luce Policy Institute, whose chairwoman gives speeches on topics with titles like “The Failures of Feminism”, and told the gatekeeper there that I wanted to do an interview with Ann Coulter solely about the Grateful Dead, there was a small pause. Then she recovered and [...]

Commotion in Motion

"Take this, Tufnel!!!"

I know we’ve got some Jeff Beck fans in Threedonia Nation, so a little somethin’-somethin’ for ‘em …

“It’s a hell of a risk,” Beck tells Billboard.com with a laugh. “It’s as close as I can get to playing things people understand, I think. Maybe I’ll lose some people. Maybe I’ll [...]

Spooky, Redux

With heavy metal madman Rob Zombie, what you see is what you get: balls-to-the-wall, devilishly and delightful spookshow-inspired mayhem. It’d be nice if his mastery of the 45-60 minute album medium translated to the feature length film arena (and damned if he doesn’t try — too hard or too little, I can’t quite tell), but [...]

An American saloon owner in North Africa is drawn into World War II when his lost love turns up.

What? Like I’m going to buck the movie gods and NOT pick Casablanca? Often — the [...]

AF RESERVE This Is The White Stripes, “FIGHT’S ON!”

From Under The Radar , The Military.com entertainment blog comes this piece of something.

The White Stripes were understandably pissed off after the Air Force Reserve ran a commercial during the Super Bowl that ripped off their song “Fell in Love With a Girl.”

The band released a statement on their website:

“We believe our song was [...]

A silent-screen swashbuckler finds love while trying to adjust to the coming of sound.
Cast: Gene Kelly, Donald O’Connor, Debbie Reynolds, Jean Hagen Dir: Gene Kelly C-103 mins, TV-G. 12:00 AM EST. TCM

I would kill to dance like Gene Kelly — or like Donald O’Connor. Love this movie about movies. [...]

Seen your video?

If nothing else, at least MTV’s finally being honest. Fortunately, VH1 Classic mostly living up to the original mission statement and damned if I can’t get enough of That Metal Show.

The new logo is meant to put the focus on MTV’s current slate of talent — the stars of mostly reality shows like “Jersey Shore,” [...]

I’m going with my heart on this one. On the Town is another film I can [...]

RedEye’s Top 10 worst albums of the decade

Watch the latest news video at video.foxnews.com
Last time I tried my own list, Coheed and Cambria fans came crawling in off Twitter and all hell broke loose. So in honor of RedEye’s three-year anniversary (and it besting CNN’s prime time lineup in the coveted 25-34 demo) here’s the show’s 10 worst albums of the decade.

3D Weekend Five/Battle of the Bands: The Who v. Aerosmith

In honor of Superbowl 2010’s Cheetos/Fritos/Doritos/Tostitos Halftime Show (and a Threedonian’s request that we compile a list for the halftime act), I bring you the return of the Battle of the Bands.

Every song is one point for that group, and every number one is five points.  I’ll post the winner on Monday, along with that [...]

Celebrate!

We were down for over 8 hours today. I’m not one for hyperbole, but it took me back to the dark days of the Iranian Hostage Crisis of 1979-80… 444 days/8 hours what really is the difference? I just wanna celebrate.
