Most movies get a soundtrack after they’ve been filmed. Boyd Tinsley doesn’t work that way. On Aug. 30, the violinist for the Dave Matthews Band will premiere Faces in the Mirror a film that was shot after Tinsley and a group of musicians that included Matthews, other DMB members and the groups Maktub and The Silent Comedy. Tinsley, who produced and conceived of the film, tells me that he’s wanted to make a movie ever since the band shot the Dean Karr-directed video to the DMB’s 1997 hit “Crash Into Me.” In December 2008, he explained, he took the first step by going into a studio with a hand-picked group of musicians. He explained to the musical artists that he had a bare-bones concept for a story of a young man dealing with the death of his estranged father. “I knew there was a rift and the father and the son lost contact, but I didn’t know everything about the story,” Tinsley said. “I didn’t know how it ended.” Having expressed this rough outline, Tinsley said, “I told them, ‘Go into the room and play from the heart. Don’t let your head come into it.” The musicians recorded over the next five days, much of it in between sessions for DMB’s 2009 album Big Whiskey & The GrooGrux King. “Everything you hear on the soundtrack happened in the moment. Music just materialized,” Tinsley said. “Things happened that just don’t happen.” First timer Aaron Farrington directed the moody, lushly shot film that was adapted to the music. Ryan Orr plays Ben Fisher, an angry young man who returns home to bury his long-estranged father. On the day of his dad’s funeral, Ben finds himself on a trippy, stranger-guided journey to self-realization, forgiveness and possibly love. “It’s raw and it’s real,” says Tinsley who will take part in a post-premiere concert after Faces in the Mirror premieres in Seattle on Aug. 30 at 8 p.m. Eastern Time. Snagfilms.com will webcast the film. You can check out the exclusive clip of the film here . There’s also a sizzle reel for the film that includes footage of Tinsley performing .

A simple E-F-E-F bass line progression is all it took to make a generation of moviegoers scared spitless to swim in the ocean. With Steven Spielberg’s classic 1975 beach emptier Jaws set for Blu-ray release on Tuesday, composer John Williams talks about the simple-but-oh-so-effective theme he created for the film’s voracious Great White shark in an interview with John Burlingame. According to the interview, the first and only music Williams played for Spielberg prior to the recording sessions was what would eventually become known as the Jaws theme that Williams says was “so simple, insistent and driving, that it seems unstoppable, like the attack of the shark.” Spielberg was not sold at first. “I played him the simple little E-F-E-F bass line that we all know on the piano,” and Spielberg laughed at first. But, Williams explains: “I just began playing around with simple motifs that could be distributed in the orchestra, and settled on what I thought was the most powerful thing, which is to say the simplest. Like most ideas, they’re often the most compelling.” Spielberg’s response, according to the composer who is also known for his indelible scores for the Star Wars films, Raiders of the Lost Ark , and Close Encounters of the Third Kind , among other landmark films was: “Let’s try it.” Burlingame writes that Williams spent two months writing more than 50 minutes of music for Jaws . They recorded in early March 1975 with a 73-piece orchestra. “It was a lot of fun, like a great big playground,” Williams says. “We had a really good time, and Steven loved it.” Spielberg even lent his less-than-masterful clarinet playing — shades of Woody Allen worship, perhaps? — to the soundtrack for a scene early in Jaws when a high-school band plays Sousa during a parade. Burlingame notes that “Williams needed to record a terrible-sounding rendition with his orchestra, which included many of the finest musicians in Hollywood.” Or as Williams puts it: “It’s very difficult to ask these great musicians to play badly.” So, Spielberg, who’d played clarinet in a high-school band, joined the orchestra on that number. “He added just the right amateur quality to the piece. A few measures still survive in the movie,” says Williams, who is probably one of the few people in the movie industry who could say Spielberg sucks at the clarinet and still manage to work in the business.

The DJ game got ridiculous a few years ago…. I am not into the whole party scene, DJ scene purist down with the hip hop scene, but I do know that there was a time dudes had to buy records, make their own records, to get booked shows where on the high end they’d make 2,000 dollars maybe 5,000 if they were fucking hero DJ, which in and of itself is a retarded concept…. The MP3 dropped, destroyed vinyl, or actual investment in music…blogs told all these idiot posers what to play instead of instinct…technology and programs made DJing easy…then DJs became rockstars and made 50,000 dollars a show…and bitches like this decided to add DJing to their modeling…to give them an edge….and people responded….and the whole thing is so stupid…that I can’t help but love it…cuz party sluts playing music for party sluts is the premise of all my sexual fantasies… Her name is DJ Juicy M and she’s probably a clown in the DJ booth playing pre-mixed sets and moving like she was Paris Hilton, but hot in a bikini….I’m into her playing the soundtrack of my life via my dick.

Florence Welch of Florence + The Machine channels her inner evil queen in “Breathe Of Lie.” The epic ballad will be included in the soundtrack of the upcoming action fantasy film, Snow White & the Huntsman. Not to my surprise, “Breathe Of Life” is a much bigger cinematic production than anything Flo put on Ceremonials and already seems like it fits the film perfectly. I want to see the movie even more… Broadcasting platform : YouTube Source : ALI’S BlOg Discovery Date : 14/05/2012 17:00 Number of articles : 2

The more I see of Steven Soderbergh ‘s Magic Mike , the higher it climbs up my most-anticipated list. Here’s why: Shirtless Channing Tatum. Sensitive Channing Tatum. Dancing Channing Tatum! A cute romance with total girl next door Cody Horn. Rihanna on the soundtrack! They found love in a pantsless place, you guys . Watch the full trailer after the jump. Beefcake! Sure, we have no idea how Shirtless Alex Pettyfer or Absent-from-the-Trailer Matt Bomer or Joe Manganiello figure into the plot. And I’m 99 percent sure most male strip clubs don’t have this high a percentage of young, hot lady customers. But I do want to know what Channing has to do for those $20s. Head to Apple for the trailer debut in HD. Verdict: I hereby declare June 29 the official ladies movie night of the summer. Who’s with me?

‘If you’re a Mary fan, you have to know I would never allow an unfinished spot like the one you saw go out,’ she says in a statement to TMZ. By Kara Warner Mary J. Blige Photo: Scott Weiner/PictureGroup In the wake of the headlines and harsh criticism generated by the debut and subsequent removal of Mary J. Blige’s Burger King ad , the Queen of Soul has finally spoken out on the matter. According to a statement Blige issued to TMZ , the final version of the commercial — in which Blige appears standing on top of a table belting out the ingredients of the fast-food chain’s new Crispy Chicken Wrap to the soundtrack of her single “Don’t Mind” — was not what the singer thought she signed up for. “I agreed to be a part of a fun and creative campaign that was supposed to feature a dream sequence. Unfortunately, that’s not what was happening in that clip,” Blige told the website. “I understand my fans being upset by what they saw. But, if you’re a Mary fan, you have to know I would never allow an unfinished spot like the one you saw go out.” The ad received harsh criticism from fans, particularly those in the black community who complained that the content promoted a negative stereotype. Burger King immediately pulled the ad from its YouTube channel, but claimed it did so because of music-licensing issues . The company said it hopes to have the “ads back on the air soon,” though they did not specify if the ads would be the same or if they would edit a new version. Rumors have surfaced that Blige received $2 million for the ad — and she’s not the only one. Other celebrities promoting the burger chain’s new menu include soccer star David Beckham, actress Salma Hayek and late-night host Jay Leno. What did you think of Mary J.’s Burger King ad?
