Sad news: Love's legendary (and legendarily troubled) frontman Arthur Lee has died of leukemia.

---------------

Bedazzled shares video of Glenn Campbell performing the Brian Wilson-produced tune "Guess I'm Dumb."

---------------

The Guardian profiles the great BBC deejay Charlie Gillett who, sadly, is giving up his regular world music program due to health problems. Along with helping to expose a huge new audience to music from Africa and elsewhere, Gillett also penned what is, for my money, the best book ever written about the history of American rock'n'roll: "The Sound of the City."

---------------

Rhino is releasing expanded versions of the first two Pretenders albums.

---------------

Elisabeth Sladen is reprising her role as Doctor Who companion Sarah Jane Smith in a spin-off series from the BBC, according to Outpost Gallifrey. The show follows Smith's investigations into the unknown and is tentatively titled, appropriately enough, "Sarah Jane Investiages."

The Beatles' Revolver turns 40



It seems remarkable that we celebrated the 40th anniversary of Rubber Soul just eight months ago. Now it's Revolver (it was released Aug. 5, 1966). And in only 10 months time, Sgt. Pepper will be 40 years old too.

Three groundbreaking albums, each released less than a year apart from one another. This was the period when the Fabs started making quantum leaps from record to record. Their sound, their appearances, even their philosophical outlooks changed radically. And while Sgt. Pepper generally gets credit as the big breakthrough, changing pop into art, Revolver may the most radical album of the three.

While Rubber Soul saw a transition into more introspective songwriting and the addition of new instrumental textures (such as the sitar on "Norwegian Wood,"), the first song recorded for Revolver was "Tomorrow Never Knows," a piece that forever changed people's expectations of what pop music could sound like and what pop musicians could do.

Everything about the tune was unique, new and experimental. The lyrics, which John Lennon cribbed from Timothy Leary's "The Psychedelic Experience," described cosmic transcendence via Eastern philosophy and L.S.D. Lennon's chanting dalai llama vocals were recorded by sending his voice through a revolving Lesley speaker. Over the top, Paul McCartney layered a series of musique concrete tape loops he'd recorded experimentally at home.

No pop record had ever sounded like this before. And it was released by the most popular and successful band on the planet, not some underground scruffs with artistic pretensions.

And this is just the most dramatic example on an album full of, as a review in Gramophone described it, "smoking hot newness."

"Taxman" blended a funky, Motown bassline with a searing Eastern-tinged guitar solo with lyrics lampooning the Inland Revenue and contemporary British politicians.

"Eleanor Rigby" wedded obscure, poetic lyrics to the dramatic, complex accompaniment of a classical string quartet.

"Yellow Submarine" supplemented its childlike tune and lyrics with off-the-wall sound effects and, months before the same trick was used on Sgt. Pepper's "For the Benefit of Mr. Kite," a brass band section developed by slicing up short sections of existing recordings and splicing them together at random.

"I'm Only Sleeping" celebrated sloth with a drowsy tempo and druggy, backwards guitars.

And those are just a few of the highlights.

Certainly, Revolver can be viewed as a transition from the folk/rock/soul of Rubber Soul to the full-blown psychedelia of Pepper, but there's a good case to be made of it being the Beatles' best, most signifcant album. If they'd quit after it's release and never done another thing, people would still be talking about it now. But amazingly, they went on to do even more.

October 2006 comics solicitations: The Good Stuff

The Marvel and DC Comics solicitations for Octobert 2006 were posted here a while back. But looking through the listings, here's some other stuff to keep an eye out for:

AMERICAS GREATEST COMICS #16
by Black, Newman, and Toth
The recent passing of Alex Toth was a loss to both comics and the world in general. AC Comics pays tribute to Toth by reprinting four of his greatest tales from the pages of Rex Allen, Buster Crabbe, Sea Hunt and Roy Rogers! See the artwork that made this man an artistic legend! 52pgs, B&W SRP: $6.95


ALEX RAYMONDS FLASH GORDON VOL 5 HC
by Alex Raymond
Volume Five of Flash Gordon includes the stories "The Ice Kingdom of Mongo," "Power Men of Mongo," and "The Fall of Ming," all originally appearing from 1940 to 1941. This quintessential science fiction title has all the trappings of what has now become the standard for modern-day sci-fi. (SEP052847) HC, 100pgs, FC SRP: $19.95


COMPLETE PEANUTS VOL 6 1961-62 HC
by Charles M. Schulz Launching into the 1960s, Schulz adds another new cast member. Two, in fact: The obnoxious Frieda, of "naturally curly hair" fame, and her inert, seemingly boneless cat Faron. The rapidly maturing Sally, who was after all just born in the previous volume, is ready to start kindergarten and not at all happy about it. Linus' life is particularly turbulent in this volume, as he is forced to wear glasses, sees the unexpected return of his favorite teacher, Miss Othmar, and coaxes Sally into the cult of the Great Pumpkin (with regrettable results). Snoopy, meanwhile, becomes a compulsive water sprinkler head stander, unhappily befriends a snowman or two, and endures a family crisis involving a little family of birds. Plus baseball blowouts (including a rare team victory), Beethoven birthdays, and plenty of dubious psychiatric help for a nickel. This book collects 730 daily and Sunday comic strips, the vast majority of which are not currently available in any in-print Peanuts collection, and many of which have never been reprinted since their initial appearance in papers over 50 years ago. New introduction by legendary jazz pianist/vocalist Diana Krall! (C: 1-0-0) NOTE: Available only in the United States, Canada, and U.S. Territories. HC, 8.5x7, 344pgs, B&W SRP: $28.95


EC ARCHIVES WEIRD SCIENCE VOL 1 HC
By William Gaines & Various

(C: 0-1-2) HC, 8x11, 212pgs, FC SRP: $49.95

DISGUISED AS CLARK KENT: JEWS COMICS CREATION OF SUPERHERO HC
by Danny Fingeroth

(4570/0-8264-1767-1) (C: 0-1-2) HC, 6x9, 216pgs SRP: $24.95

UP UP AND OY VEY SC
by Simcha Weinstein
While the Jewish contribution to film, theater, music, and comedy has been well-documented, the Jewish role in the creation of the All-American superhero has not been - until now! From the birth of Krypton in Cleveland to the Caped Crusader, Captain America, the Incredible Hulk, Spider-Man, the X-Men, and more, Up, Up, and Oy Vey! chronicles the uncanny story behind the story about the origins of the planet's most famous superheroes. (7354/1-881927-32-6) (C: 0-1-2) NOTE: This item may be available through other retail outlets before shipping to comic book specialty shops. SC, 7x10, 116pgs SRP: $19.95

Heath Ledger on tap as Joker in next Batman film

Official skinny from Warner Bros.:

BURBANK, CA, 31 July 2006 – As a follow up to last year’s blockbuster Batman Begins, Christopher Nolan is set to direct Warner Bros. Pictures’ The Dark Knight, written by Jonathan Nolan, based on a story by Christopher Nolan and David Goyer. The film will be produced by Emma Thomas, Charles Roven and Christopher Nolan. Additionally, Christian Bale will resume his role as Bruce Wayne and Academy Award nominee Heath Ledger has been cast as The Joker. The announcements were made today by Jeff Robinov, President of Production, Warner Bros. Pictures.

Christopher Nolan revamped the Batman franchise in 2005 with the immensely successful Batman Begins, starring Christian Bale in the title role, which chronicled the early years of the superhero. Nolan first garnered attention from critics and fans in 2000 with the groundbreaking drama Memento, which he wrote and directed. He went on to direct the thriller Insomnia, starring Al Pacino and Robin Williams, and recently wrapped production on The Prestige, with Hugh Jackman and Bale.

Bale was most recently seen in the ensemble cast of Terrence Malick’s The New World. His other credits include Little Women, Portrait of a Lady, Metroland, American Psycho, Laurel Canyon and Steven Spielberg’s Empire of the Sun, which was his first starring role.

Ledger most recently earned Oscar Golden Globe, BAFTA and SAG Award nominations and won the New York Film Critics Circle Award for Best Actor for his portrayal of Ennis Del Mar in the award-winning drama Brokeback Mountain. His other credits include Casanova, Monster’s Ball, Lords of Dogtown, The Brothers Grimm and The Patriot.

“Chris’ unique vision is what made Batman Begins such an outstanding film and we could not imagine anyone else at the helm of The Dark Knight,” said Robinov. “We also can’t wait to see two such formidable actors as Christian and Heath face off with each other as Batman and The Joker.”

“I'm excited to continue the story we started with Batman Begins,” added Nolan. “Our challenge in casting The Joker was to find an actor who is not just extraordinarily talented but fearless. Watching Heath Ledger's interpretation of this iconic character taking on Christian Bale’s Batman is going to be incredible.”

Production is set to begin on The Dark Knight in early 2007.
