IMO, one of the best movies made about a (fictional) rock band: Eddie and the Cruisers.



Also IMO, one of the worst movies made about a (fictional) rock band: Eddie and the Cruisers II: Eddie Lives!

''Who's here in 2020?''

''Who's here because they heard this ''nobody cares'' in that tv show?''

''Saw and loved the ORIGINAL Nobody Cares type thread in the Community forum!''

''Oh my god, millennials... This is NOT the original, man! Your all so ignorant about REAL thread classics. I was posting in the original SL thread back in the day...''

'' Boomers can't even spell... it's YOU'RE!''

First, it's not the "theme from ‘2001: A Space Odyssey’". It's Strauss' Also sprach Zarathustra, Op. 30.

And second, middle school musical directors are almost always sadists. I know, because I dated one.

It's not Tchaikovsky's "1812 Overture", it's the Quaker puffed cereal theme song!

R.I.P. Viola Smith, known as the "fastest girl drummer in the world"

Viola Smith is known as a pioneer in jazz music, becoming the first well-known female jazz drummer in the industry.

Viola Smith, the pioneering musician known as the “fastest girl drummer in the world,” has died. Per the New York Times, her nephew recently confirmed that she died in her Costa Mesa, California home on October 21. She was 107 years old.

A Wisconsinite, Smith grew up in a large family of musicians. She played in a jazz band alongside her seven sisters called Schmitz Sisters Orchestra, which was formed by their father. The troupe toured via the Radio-Keith-Orpheum vaudeville circuit while also taking on stray gigs at state fairs and movie theaters in-between. Once the band dissolved, she started another all-female group known as the Coquettes. The ensemble enchanted national audiences in the late 1930s, but Smith’s precision and vibrant energy required its own well-earned spotlight, making her the first female star of jazz drumming.

How Elektra Records ushered in the alternative music revolution

For this oral history, The A.V. Club spoke to Pete Rock, Metallica, Spoon, They Might Be Giants, and more about Robert “Bob” Krasnow's time at Elektra Records.

Some music labels are ahead of their time; then, there’s Elektra in the late ’80s and early ’90s. Founded by Jac Holzman in his college dorm room in 1950, the record company has its roots in folk, but by the late ’60s it had grown to become the home of such groundbreaking groups as The Doors, The Stooges, and MC5. Unfortunately, Holzman sold Elektra to Warner Communications (now WarnerMedia) in 1970, and while the label would keep The Doors on the roster, it mostly churned out hits by adult-contemporary superstars Carly Simon, Tony Orlando and Dawn, and Linda Ronstadt—a far cry from the bands at the forefront of the counterculture movement for which the label had become known.

That all changed when Warner CEO Mo Ostin appointed his vice president in charge of talent and Blue Thumb Records founder Robert “Bob” Krasnow as head of Elektra in 1983. Krasnow built one of the most eclectic rosters in the industry, many of which would doubtless be on an indie label today, including Metallica, 10,000 Maniacs, The Cure, They Might Be Giants, Brand Nubian, The Sugarcubes, and Stereolab.

They discuss Obama's new book with him, but this is really all about the music.

I knew about the song and had seen a video taking place in a classroom but hadn’t seen this one.
