Irish singer/songwriter Damien Rice dog-tired his childhood sportfishing and daydreaming in the countryside of Celbridge, County Kildare. Painting and penning songs elysian him as a offspring man, motivating Rice to assign a band together. The heavy, indie rock'n'roll sounds of Juniper were sign-language to Polygram in 1997 and "The World Is Dead" and "Weathermen" did passably well on Irish radiocommunication. When it came time to recording a uncut album, contractual rules from the label prevented Juniper from doing so, and Rice split. He headed for the hills of Tuscany in 1999 and lived his aliveness peregrine around Europe. Rice returned to Dublin within a year to focal percentage point on music erstwhile one time again, scrounging up enough money to record a demo. Rice sent it to producer/film composer David Arnold (BjÃ¶rk, Nina Persson, Paul Oakenfold), and as luck would have it for him, Arnold loved it. He set Rice up in his very possess mobile studio to have a record. His first individual, "The Blower's Daughter," was an inst Top 20 hit when it appeared in accrue 2001. Shared gigs with McAlmont & Butler and folkie Kathryn Williams followed in summer 2002 when Rice released O in the U.K. The album attain the States in 2003, which earned the Irishman a consecrate group of American fans in addition to his European ones, and after satiating all of them with a aggregation of b-sides in 2005, Rice released his sophomore record, 9, the next year.

At number one glance, Derek Bailey possesses almost none of the qualities one expects from a jazz musician -- his medicine does non swing out in any appreciable fashion, it lacks a discernable sense of blues notion -- so far there's a strong connective between his amelodic, arhythmic, atonal, uncategorizable free-improvisatory style, and much free wind of the post-Coltrane epoch. His medicine draws upon a brobdingnagian array of resources, including indeterminateness, rock & roll, and respective world musics. Indeed, this catholic banker's acceptance of any and all musical influences is arguably what sets Bailey's art outside the rigorous bound of "wind." The of the essence element of his do work, however, is the type of offhand musical interrelatedness that evolved from the '60s idle words new wave. Sound, not ideology, is Bailey's mass medium. He differs in overture to about any former guitarist wHO preceded him. Bailey uses the guitar as a sound-making, sort of than a "music"fashioning, device. Meaning, he seldom plays melodies or harmonies in a formal horse sense, simply sooner pulls knocked out of his legal document every conceivable type of sound victimisation every conceivable technique. His timbral orbit is quite full. On electrical guitar, Bailey is capable of the near gratingly rough, distortion-laden heavy-metalisms; unamplified, he's as likely to mimicker a set of windchimes. Bailey's guitar is a great deal like John Cage's inclined pianissimo; both innovations enhanced the respective instrument's percussive possibilities. As a pigeonholing participant, Bailey is an fine sensitive respondent to what goes on around him. He has the sort of warm reflexes and complementary reference that posterior meld random musical events into a unified whole.

Bailey came from a melodic family; his grandfather and uncle were musicians. As a fry surviving in Sheffield in the '40s, Bailey studied music with C.H.C. Biltcliffe and guitar with George Wing and John Duarte. Bailey began playing conventional jazz and commercial music professionally in the '50s. In the early '60s, Bailey played in a trio called Joseph Holbrooke, with drummer Tony Oxley and bassist (and afterwards renowned definitive composer) Gavin Bryars. In the track of its creation, from 1963-66, the mathematical group evolved from playing relatively traditional idle words with pacing and chord changes, to playing wholly loose. In 1966 Bailey stirred to London; in that respect, he formed a number of important melodious associations with, among others, drummer John Stevens, saxophonist Evan Parker, trumpeter Kenny Wheeler, and bassist Dave Holland. This specific assembling of players recorded as the Spontaneous Music Ensemble, which served as a crucible for the sort of equalitarian, collective improvisation that Bailey was to engage from and so on. In 1968, Bailey joined Oxley -- another musician interested in new possibilities of reasoned generation -- in whose sextet he remained until 1973. In 1970, Bailey formed the trio Iskra with bassist Barry Guy and trombonist Paul Rutherford. Also that twelvemonth, Bailey started (with Parker and Oxley) the Incus record book mark, for which he would extend to record into the '90s. In 1976, Bailey founded Company, a long-lasting free improv tout ensemble with ever-shifting staff office, which has included, at various times, Anthony Braxton, Han Bennink, Steve Lacy, and George Lewis, among others.

The eighties saw Bailey collaborating with many of the said, along with newer figures on the scene such as John Zorn and Joelle Leandre. Solo playing has always been a special strength, as have (especially in recent old age, it seems) ad hoc duos with a variety show of associates. Bailey by and by recorded an inflexible three-disc set with a group that included the unremarkably more than pop-oriented guitarist Pat Metheny. Bailey's utmost radicalism makes for a hard euphony, yet there's no sceptical his influence; his methods and esthetic have significantly impacted the downtown New York free scene, though many (if not most) of his disciples ar little known to the general public. In 1980, Bailey wrote Improvisation: Its Nature and Practice, an instructive and undervalued volume on various traditions of improvised music.

B.J. Novak lines up 'Bastards'

Brad Pitt officially has gone inglorious.

The actor has joined the cast of Quentin Tarantino's "Inglorious Bastards," signing on to play Lt. Aldo Raine, the head of the Jewish resistance in the auteur's World War II film.

Additionally, Simon Pegg is in discussions to join the cast. David Krumholtz has an offer but may have a scheduling problem. Nastassja Kinski is coming together with Tarantino for the part of a German actress.

Pitt's character is a Southern rebel wHO leads a band of eight Jewish American soldiers as they exact payback on Nazis in German-occupied France.

Pegg would play a British lieutenant. Krumholtz's part would be that of a member of Pitt's team.

Producer Lawrence Bender said the alchemy of Pitt and Tarantino, world Health Organization have never worked together as thespian and theater director, will yield unique results. "They're sledding to push each other and actually help make something special," he said.

Pitt's character is a voluble, freewheeling lawless in the manner of Samuel L. Jackson's Jules Winnfield in "Pulp Fiction," prone to saying things like "we're gonna be doing one thing, and one thing only, and that's violent death Nazis," according to those familiar with the script.

The signing of Pitt, who start saw the script in early July, means that the production has locked down a key part as it moves forward on an accelerated schedule.

The Weinstein Co./Universal co-production starts shooting Oct. 13 in Germany, with the design to debut at the 2009 Festival de Cannes. "It's passing to be a nine-month sprint marathon," Bender aforesaid.

Pitt has a comparatively clear schedule for the fall, though he is set to start shooting the packing drama "The Fighter" for Paramount late this class or early next year.

Bender, in Berlin scouting locations, said casting is under way for a German actor to play Hans Landa, the Nazi drawing card targeted by the resistance. B.J. Novak and Eli Roth are in negotiation to bet soldiers in Pitt's rapscallion army, with the match playing PFC Utivich and PFC Danowitz, respectively.

The Weinstein Co. and Universal are co-financing and co-presenting the celluloid, with Bender producing and Erica Steinberg, Bob Weinstein and Harvey Weinstein eXEC producing.

Jennifer Anniston may fly with the Conchords

2008-07-01T22:33:00.001-07:00

New Zealand's "fourth most popular folk duo", Flight of the Conchords, may be stepping up a notch in the calibre of co-stars in their next New York-based TV series.

Wellington-based Jemaine Clement and Bret McKenzie may be joined by Hollywood actress Jennifer Aniston in the next series commissioned for the HBO cable network, the Daily Telegraph reported in Sydney.

"To think that we have had calls from Jennifer Aniston's people saying she really likes the show and Steven Spielberg requesting a copy of the series, it's pretty crazy," McKenzie, 32, said from Los Angeles.

The first series, aired in the US last June and McKenzie said American viewers warmed undertones of trans-Tasman rivalry.

In their first television show, a comedy series set in New York, Clement and McKenzie played struggling musicians and recount their attempts to crack the big-time.

"We have just started 10 weeks of writing the second series and we are definitely going to explore the rivalry between Australia and New Zealand at a government ambassadorial level.

"One storyline is one of us ending up in a relationship with an Australian."

"Americans really latched onto it and strangers keep coming up to me on the street and asking me about the rivalry, which we all know generally only comes out during a rugby match," McKenzie said.

"I think it's similar to the Canadian and American relationship, so now they feel like they have been let in on a secret joke between the Kiwis and Aussies."

The pair won a Grammy Award for comedy album of the year in February, had the soundtrack from the TV show go to number three on the American billboard charts, and recently had Oscar winner Susan Sarandon asking to meet them after a comedy show recently.

"Luckily we are working a lot which is keeping us fairly grounded," McKenzie told the Daily Telegraph.

Mongol

2008-06-07T19:37:00.001-07:00

From Russian filmmaker Sergei Bodrov, Mongol tries to correct the story of Genghis Khan as presented in previous Hollywood disasters like The Conqueror and Genghis Khan. This fascinating look at Khan�s early years begins with his birth as Temudgin in 1162. The story methodically follows him from his harrowing and dangerous childhood all the way to the infamous battles that defined him. Bodrov�s portrait is also a love story, covering Khan�s family life and marriage to Borte, the only woman who truly understood him and knew what he could become. One of the film�s most successful sequences involves the abduction of Borte. Temudgin�s desperate and ultimately brave rescue is a spectacular action sequence in which he penetrates the enemies� camp with thousands of horsemen. Eventually, he is set on a path to seal his destiny against his own blood brother, Jamukha. It�s a conflict that results in Temudgin�s slavery but eventual freedom to become Genghis Khan--the man who conquered more territory than any other warrior.Cast not with an eye for stars, this telling of the Genghis Khan story has credibility going for it. Previous Hollywood versions have made the mistake of bringing in known actors such as Omar Sharif to play the role--and most notoriously, John Wayne famously butchered interpretation of Khan in 1956�s The Conqueror. But in Mongol, after a worldwide search, Bodrov smartly cast Japanese actor Tadanobu Asano as the adult Temudgin, who makes Khan his own. As his blood brother Jamukha, Chinese actor Honglei Sun acquits himself well, while inspiration of inspirations, a real Mongolian actress named Khulan Chuluun makes for a beautiful and forceful Borte. The international flavor of the cast oddly seems to actually add authenticity to the production when logic would say otherwise. Perhaps that is the ultimate tribute to director Bodrov.Sergei Bodrov is a powerhouse director. His previous films--including the acclaimed Prisoner of the Mountains and Nomad--do not prepare us for the breathtaking splendor and scope of Mongol. This is absolutely the kind of sweeping epic we might have expected from David Lean in his Lawrence of Arabia heyday. Even though the director did employ some CGI tricks for the massive battle scenes, the mix of technology and humanity is flawless. Key to his success is the human dimension of a larger-than-life story that keeps us involved with characters who are truly heroic and the stuff of mythology. Special mention should go to the magnificent cinematography of Sergey Trofimov and Rogier Stoffers, on a par with anything seen on the widescreen in many years. Tuomas Kantelinen�s inventive score is another plus for the impressive film.

Officials confident of Oscars deal

2008-06-07T19:33:00.001-07:00

Organisers of the Oscars remain confident that this awards ceremony will go ahead as planned, despite the cancellation of the Golden Globes.
The executive director of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has said Oscars officials are hopeful of a deal with striking writers that will allow the show to go ahead.
"At this stage we are still making our plans as normal," Bruce Davis told AFP.
The feud between writers and producers claimed its highest profile casualty on Monday when it was confirmed that this weekend's Golden Globes ceremony, a key highlight of the Hollywood movie awards season, had been scrapped.
The decision to replace the event with a press conference came after Hollywood's actors union, the Screen Actors Guild (SAG), announced that stars would not cross picket lines surrounding the show erected by the Writers Guild of America (WGA).
The WGA has already said its members will not be allowed to write the script for the Oscars - the film industry's biggest annual awards.
However, it has not yet confirmed if it will picket the show, which is being broadcast by the ABC network - one of the companies that is the subject of strike action.
