You Know That Evening With Collective Soul...

Platinum-Selling Rock Band Collective Soul Set to Release

Ninth Album See What You Started By Continuing on October 2

USA TODAY premieres new single “This”

Hey Karen Castricher-Stegall remember that evening when we met Collective Soul at a club in Hollywood and...

Collective Soul, the multi-platinum selling band that helped sonically define alternative rock, is set to release their long-awaited ninth album, See What You Started By Continuing on October 2nd. The announcement was made today via USAToday.com where the band also premiered the first single “This.” See What You Started By Continuing marks the band’s Vanguard Records debut. Starting tomorrow, July 16th, fans can receive a free download of "This" from the band's website, www.collectivesoul.com.

Formed in the small town of Stockbridge, GA in the early 1990’s, Collective Soul consists of principal songwriter and frontman Ed Roland (lead vocals/keyboards/guitars), Dean Roland (rhythm guitarist), Will Turpin (bassist), Johnny Rabb (drummer) and Jesse Triplett (lead guitarist).

Roland explains the album title See What You Started By Continuing came following a year off after the band had been going non-stop for 19 years. “During that year, we had time to reflect and be proud of what we had accomplished over the years,” says Roland. “When we came back together, we were rested and more confident than we had ever been in our careers. We never thought of this as a second chance, but more of a second breath. We wanted to continue doing what we had always done and that was to make guitar driven music.”

See What You Started By Continuing was recorded and mixed at Edible Studios in Atlanta, GA and mixed by industry veteran Shawn Grove.  Following the release of the new album, the band will embark on their “21^st Birthday” tour. More details to follow.

Three Way With Amy Schumer

Does This Cigarette Make Me Look Topless?

In honor of Hump Day I thought I would share this photo. It made me laugh, hope it makes you laugh too!

Yep, the awesome Amy Schumer whose rave reviewed movie Trainwreck opens this Friday, up chucked her inner Princess Leia in a photo shoot for GQ.

As you know no Star Wars themed shoot would be complete without a menage a trois image of Leia having been freshly banged by C3PO and R2D2.

It'a all about the hump, Happy Wednesday!

Dolly & Her Doppelganger 

DOLLY PARTON MOVIE CASTING NEWS ANNOUNCED ON THE TODAY SHOW 

                                        Look! It's Little Dolly Parton!

The singing superstar had a thrilling surprise for the young actress, Alyvia Lind, personally giving her the news that she will play Dolly as a child in the upcoming original movie “Coat of Many Colors.” “Coat of Many Colors,” named after Parton’s song, will be based on Parton’s upbringing, with the Parton serving as executive producer.

Parton had called the 1971 track her favorite song she has written. It tells the story of how her mother stitched together a coat for her daughter out of rags given to the family, telling her the biblical story of Joseph and his Coat of Many Colors. But when the girl, all excited, debuts the new coat at school, she is ridiculed by her classmates for wearing rags.

The original coat is now on display in Parton’s Chasing Rainbows Museum at Dollywood in Pigeon Forge, TN.

NBC’s deal with Parton, includes a series of standalone TV movies based on Parton’s songs, stories and life. They will contain music but won’t be musicals, with Parton possibly appearing in some. Parton is developing the projects with production partner Sam Haskell of Magnolia Hill Entertainment and Warner Bros. Television.

Troubadour: Dudley Saunders

Troubadour: Dudley Saunders

Here is the 8th video from In These Boxes, from my favorite troubadour Mr. Dudley Saunders "Love in Crystal." Let's hear what the master has to say about this...

"Two men are set to be remembered, if only in part: they grow up the way their families like, they come to New York, start careers. But they can’t be anything but what they were expected to be. They can’t imagine something different. They want to, they feel so empty and trapped, and life feels so literal.

And then one night when the feeling is particularly bad, they both take a drug and it brings them to life. Together.

They give up everything to feel this way.

Later, when the Ukrainian super is clearing out the apartment, he sees this tie and thinks one of them must have had a job, once."

"Mutilator" Monday

You have heard of Manic Monday, Monday Funday, Monday the beginning of the weekly grind, today July 13th is now "Mutilator" Monday...Yes, I am a horror fan!

The Mutilator - Dual Format DVD & Blu-ray - ORDER HERE - Out September 29th!

Although the slasher film was in decline by the mid-1980s, there were still some grisly delights to be had... and they don't come much grislier than writer-director Buddy Cooper's sickening stalk-and-slash classic The Mutilator! When Ed receives a message from his father asking him to go and lock up the family's beach condo for the winter, it seems like the perfect excuse for an alcohol-fuelled few days away with his friends. After all, his dad has forgiven him for accidentally blowing mom away with a shotgun several years ago... hasn't he? But no sooner are the teens on the island than they find themselves stalked by a figure with an axe (and a hook, and an onboard motor) to grind... Originally entitled Fall Break (watch out for the incongruous theme song of the same name!), The Mutilator has earned a reputation amongst horror fans as one of the 'holy grails' of 80s splatter mayhem due to its highly inventive (and not to say, decidedly gruesome) kill sequences, courtesy of FX wizard Mark Shostrom (Videodrome, Evil Dead II). Finally making its long-awaited bow in High-Definition, The Mutilator has returned to terrorize a whole new generation of horror fans!

Bitch, I Don't Wanna!

Truth Or...???

Whilst giving an interview to Dot429 sexy Looking stud, Jonathan Groff said that while starring in Lin-Manuel Miranda's musical Hamilton that Madonna was banned from attending the show after a performance she attended in April.

Apparently the Bitch didn't wanna get off her cell phone and her face was perfectly lit for three quarters of the show down in front.

Of course the Big M's rep denies it, but Groff insists it's true.

Gee I wonder how Madonna would have felt if someone did that while she was performing Speed The Plow?

Just Sayin'....

The Man Who Discovered Bob Dylan...

Folklore in the City Izzy Young "Talking Folklore Center" Coming to DVD on August 14th The man who discovered Bob Dylan returns to Greenwich Village  to revisit the Folklore Center days... Izzy Young? Find out...

Izzy Young was the guru of American folk music. In this documentary covering his legendary Folklore Center in New York Izzy meets with friends and collaborators like Pete Seeger, Allen Ginsberg, The Fugs, Mayor Ed Koch to reminisce. It includes unique archival footage and folk music from the 1960s. Young is credited with playing a crucial role in the rise of folk music in the 1960s, and with catapulting a young Bob Dylan to stardom by arranging his first proper concert, at Carnegie Chapter Hall, in 1961. He opened Izzy Young's Folklore Center on MacDougal Street in New York's Greenwich Village in 1959. It became a focal point for the American folk music scene of the time, a place where one could find such limited circulation publications as Caravan and Gardyloo. From 1959 to 1969, Young wrote a column entitled "Fret and Frails" for the folk music journal Sing Out. He served on the "editorial advisory board" for the magazine until his departure for Sweden a few years later. Young arranged concerts with folk musicians and songwriters, who often made contacts with other musicians at the Folklore Center. Bob Dylan relates in his memoirs, Chronicles, how he spent time at the Center, where Young allowed him to sit in the backroom of the store, listening to folk music records and reading books. Dylan met Dave Van Ronk in the store, and Young produced Dylan's first concert at Carnegie Chapter Hall in New York City on Saturday, November 4, 1961. "I broke my ass to get people to come," Young said in a recent interview with Tablet. "Only 52 people showed up but about 300 people remember being there. Everyone wants to say they were there. You understand?"  Dylan wrote a song about the store and Young entitled "Talking Folklore Center". DVD Pre-Order:  http://bit.ly/1LZSpLe Amazon:  http://amzn.to/1L2AOkg
