NEW DVD RELEASE OF THE WEEK: 'CHARLES BRADLEY: SOUL OF AMERICA'
BUY THE DVD HERE
Filmmaker Poull Brien presents this stirring profile of soul singer Charles Bradley, who became an unlikely star at the age of 62, when his debut album No Time for Dreaming was named one of Rolling Stone magazine’s top 50 albums of 2011. Abandoned by his parents as a youth, Bradley endured hardship and poverty while growing up on the streets and performing James Brown covers. For 48 years his dreams of stardom remained just out of reach, yet through it all Bradley never gave up hope that one day he would find success. That day ultimately came when he decided to ditch the James Brown act, and find his own voice. Now, as Bradley turns 62, Brien turns his camera on the unlikely star whose powerful voice has stirred the souls of music lovers and cynical critics alike. Over the course of the following months, Brien’s lens captures all the joy of Bradley’s late-life success, and offers inspirational testament to the power of dreams.– Rovi
THE VINYL WORD: ELECTRONIC ANTHOLOGY PROJECT'S 'THE ELECTRONIC ANTHOLOGY PROJECT OF DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE'
PREVIEW/BUY THE VINYL HERE
The Electronic Anthology Project was formed by Built to Spill bassist Brett Nelson in 2009. Having always loved 80’s New Wave music Nelson wondered what a guitar driven band like Built To Spill would sound like as an 80’s synth-pop band. So Nelson entered his home studio and emerged with seven Built To Spill tracks recorded using only synthesizers and a drum machine. Fellow BTS bandmate Doug Martsch re-sang all new vocals and helped Nelson mix the final product. The Electronic Anthology Project debuted July 2010 as a self released C.D.
In late 2012, Nelson recorded five demos of his favorite Death Cab for Cutie songs as 80’s synth-pop and sent them to lead singer, Ben Gibbard, who agreed to re-sing two of the songs for The Electronic Anthology Project of Death Cab for Cutie. Nelson and Gibbard re-imagine 2005’s Soul Meets Body (Plans) and 1998’s Champagne From A Paper Cup (Something About Airplanes) to be released July 2, 2013 as various runs (500 each) of colored 7″ vinyl and a digital bundle for download.-Electronic Anthology Project
