Paul McCartney and John Lennon are among the most successful songwriting duos ever and wrote many songs that dominated the U.S. charts. When they had their first No. 1 hit in the U.S., it was a sign that Beatlemania was in full swing and signaled the beginning of the British Invasion. However, The Beatles did not perform the first song on the U.S. charts that is credited to Lennon-McCartney.
The first song on the U.S. charts credited to John Lennon and Paul McCartney was performed by Del Shannon
In the early 1960s, The Beatles were becoming rising stars in the U.K. Their first single, “Love Me Do,” debuted in the U.K. in 1962 and peaked at No. 17. In 1963, The Beatles released “From Me to You”, which became their first No. 1 hit on the official U.K. Singles chart.

The Royal Tenenbaums.Pick an American auteur from the early 1990s to the present day, then pick one of their films, and there’s a decent chance music supervisor Randall Poster was involved with the soundtrack. He’s collaborated with Wes Anderson on almost the director’s entire idiosyncratic oeuvre; he helped string together the ceaseless parade of rock, pop, and punk tunes that whipped Scorsese’s The Wolf of Wall Street (2013) into a hyperkinetic lather; and he helped make Richard Linklater’s School of Rock (2003), well, rock. Poster is one of three groundbreaking music supervisors that I spoke with for episode six of the third season of the Mubi Podcast, which tells the stories behind a sampler of cinema history’s most iconic needle drops. But Poster played a role in so many of those musical moments that it made sense to publish our full conversation.Notebook: What's the...

Decades ago, “when the Clash was falling apart” – as the band’s bassist Paul Simonon tells it – Joe Strummer wanted to return to his roots busking in public. So he and the band journeyed to the north of England to play in the streets. “We slept on a lot of people’s sofas, because we left our credit cards and money behind and lived on what we earned in the street,” Simonon remembers on a Zoom from his home in London. “We had enough to get to the next town and something to eat.

Like their unlikely namesake, the Zombies have had several lives since being formed by keyboardist Rod Argent and vocalist Colin Blunstone in St. Albans in Hertfordshire U.K. in the early 1960s. The first British Invasion act after the Beatles to score a chart-topping U.S. hit, with “She’s Not There,” the guys disbanded shortly before their 1968 soon-to-be-cult album, “Odessey and Oracle,” was released. That collection produced another stateside smash in “Time of the Season,” which Al Kooper belatedly convinced Columbia’s Clive Davis to put out.
Since Argent and Blunstone reunited as the Zombies in 2004, the group has released four albums, the latest being the Covid-delayed “Different Game,” on the indie Cooking Vinyl, which serves as the follow-up to 2015’s aptly titled “Still Got That Hunger.”
The duo is fresh back from an acclaimed trip to Austin for South by Southwest, where they were honored with the Grulke Prize for Career Act,...

In their sixth collaboration together Abel Ferrara and Willem Dafoe take a deep dive into the human consciousness with a surreal examination of one man’s dreams and memories. Renowned for his provocative outlook, Ferrara is a director who isn’t afraid to push boundaries as well as the audience’s patience. His latest is easily his most perplexing film to date, doing away with any sort of conventional narrative in favour of a series of scarcely linked vignettes, with Dafoe’s ever-compelling presence being the only connective glue. In spite of Dafoe’s committed performance and some beautiful cinematography, Siberia’s deliberately impenetrable existential musings quickly become tiresome.
Siberia begins pretty intelligibly, with a calming voiceover from Clint (Dafoe) recalling a childhood fishing trip with his father. But it’s not long before things degenerate into a self-indulgent mess of ideas and images. Clint has turned his back on...

There is no writing credit for “Sportin’ Life,” which feels like an omission, but an apt one. On the one hand, this documentary self-portrait by rogue auteur Abel Ferrara feels wholly the product of his eccentric imagination, colored by his voice from beginning to hasty end. On the other, it’s impossible to imagine such a chaotic, clashing assemblage of half-thoughts and impulses being “written” per se: A video diary of the filmmaker’s travels and stasis from February to August of this year, edited with nary a moment to reflect ahead of its premiere at the Venice Film Festival this month, it gives every appearance of having been downloaded directly from his brain in its full antic, distracted form. Whose 2020 has been a year of tidy ideas, after all?
On the one hand, then, “Sportin’ Life” mostly captures the spirit of an enervating, dislocated time, as Ferrara touches on...

Roger Ebert often paraphrased what his onscreen sparring partner Gene Siskel said about films he didn’t enjoy: Wouldn’t it have been better to watch a documentary about the same actors having lunch together? It’s a thought experiment that might come to mind watching “Sportin’ Life,” a rambling, hour-long documentary directed by Abel Ferrara. These days, Ferrara’s fiction films rarely go far beyond the festival circuit, even those starring his friend and frequent collaborator Willem Dafoe. It’s been some time since the likes of “Bad Lieutenant” and “King of New York” reached a wider audience. But .
Most of the documentary was shot while Ferrara was promoting his last film with Dafoe, “Siberia,” at the Berlin Film Festival in February. Not that he bothers to explain that with anything as commonplace as captions or voiceovers. All the film offers is the chance to hang out with Ferrara for a while,...

Bobby Lewis, the R&b singer behind “Tossin’ and Turnin’” — one of the biggest hits of the early Sixties — died in late April at the age of 95.
Billboard confirmed Lewis’ death Saturday, nearly two months after the singer died after a bout with pneumonia.
The Indianapolis-born singer is best known for the original version of “Tossin’ and Turnin’,” which he recorded in the fall of 1960; in the summer of 1961, the single began a seven-week run atop the Billboard Hot 100. “Tossin’ and Turnin’” was also named Billboard’s Number One single...

“Siberia” is the sixth film Abel Ferrara has made with Willem Dafoe, and by the end of it, were it not for vivid memories of past collaborations with Harvey Keitel and Christopher Walken, it would be hard to conceive of him ever having cast anyone else. Ferrara and Dafoe were always an obvious fit — both toughened, wily eccentrics happy to sit outside the system — though their previous pairings, including the surprisingly restrained quasi-biopic “Pasolini” and last year’s navel-gazing doodle “Tommaso,” never made the most of that kinship. You can’t say that about “Siberia,” a beautiful, unhinged, sometimes hilarious trek into geographical and psychological wilderness that will delight some and mystify many others. As a study of a rugged individualist looking back on long-withered connections — to others, to the mainstream world, and indeed to himself — it feels personally invested both as a star vehicle and an auteur piece. If it isn’t,...

Country music had a particularly important and diverse year in 1999. The Dixie Chicks released the country-rock of Fly, Faith Hill put out the polished Breathe, and George Jones reclaimed his legend status with Cold Hard Truth. Gary Allan touched on all of those elements on Smoke Rings in the Dark, a consequential record in the California country singer’s career that helped transform traditional country into something contemporary and approachable with well-produced songs like “Right Where I Need to Be,” the title track, and “Don’t Tell Mama.” “It sounded so modern,...

For three hours each night, Church tapped into all phases of his career, from the hard-nosed confidence of his first two albums to the introspective and often funky troubadour fare of his latest, Desperate Man. Here are 10 things we learned about the tour, which resumes Friday in St. Louis, Missouri, and is slated to run through June.

Elle King’s breakthrough 2015 hit “Ex’s and Oh’s” pulled off a neat trick: It was catchy mainstream rock that felt fresh without making concessions to hip-hop or Edm. King’s touchstones were Nancy Sinatra, Dusty Springfield, Ennio Morricone’s spaghetti-western-soundtrack twang and T. Rex glam shuffle. Her debut LP, Love Stuff, filled out that sound with a relatable persona — a blues rocker running from time, addiction, the devil and, of course, her pesky exes. Whereas fellow retro-loving diva Lana Del Rey played the coy, gothy, California dreamer, King...

Lynn Castle Rose Colored Corner Light (Light In The Attic)
Coming across visually as a prototype Nancy Sinatra about to enter The Valley Of The Dolls, Lynn Castle in the 1960s was an entrancing and beguiling entity. Her debut album finally appears a few years shy of her turning eighty, and it is a tremendous affair, an index of splendid and unrealized possibilities, as stark as it is haunting.
Vocally she sounds like a female Leonard Cohen who's been listening to too much Nina Simone, whose smoke-laced croak she frequently echoes. Her look though uber-girlie doesn't match her sound, and simply serves to enhance the appeal of her beauty and big, big hair. Think Warhol's Candy Darling doing an arch Barbie doll look and you are nearly there. Add Jackie O shades and you have quite simply arrived. Her sole single 'The Lady Barber' is a wonderful piece of...

The idea that Terrence Malick, the media-shy director of wheat fields and whispery voice-overs, would make a movie about indie-rock hipsters sounds like a joke—and an old one at that, since Malick started filming his Austin-set music-scene movie Song To Song way back in 2011. After a lengthy post-production (even by Malick’s dawdling standards), the film is finally ready for theaters. And you know what? This thing looks pretty good, even if it does sound like a perfect storm of self-indulgence.
Admittedly, we here at The A.V. Club have a higher-than-average tolerance for Malick’s latter-day formula of following famous pretty people around with the widest angle lenses possible while they touch things and avoid eye contact with each other. Set to Del Shannon’s classic “Runaway,” the trailer for his latest doesn’t offer much in the way of plot. (Nor will the film, probably.)

"Screw that," rejoined Norman. "Just have fun and keep learning and next year's freshmen will feel inferior to you. If you already knew everything, you wouldn't have to go to college in the first place. Don't tell me about that, tell me about all the cool stuff you've been doing."
"Well, during orientation there was a great band playing outside for free called So What. I know you're not that into fusion, but they were hot.

While focusing on Detective Mike Torello (more on him later), they try to cram everything from cop/mob rivalry and revenge to marital discord into this first episode.

From from the British Pathé newsreel archive, Jon Savage unearths footage of the hip young band who rode the trad jazz wave in 1962, inspired by the Original Dixieland Jazz Band
Reading this on mobile? Watch clip here
This is a charming period piece, from March 1962. The colour makes it seem at once vivid and time-locked. It shows the travelling arrangements and a performance of a young, Dixieland jazz group called the Original Downtown Syncopators – who featured as pianist the future polymath Ron Geesin, best known for his collaboration with Roger Waters on The Body film soundtrack and with Pink Floyd on the Atom Heart Mother suite.
That would occur nearly a decade later. In early 1962, the Original Downtown Syncopators were a young and enthusiastic outfit riding the trad wave with a little more authenticity than some of their peers. As the clip shows, they took their cues from the source,...

SXSW starts tomorrow, and one of the best parts of the festival is the shorts program, a perennial favorite. I've pre-screened a number of this year's excellent entries, and here is part one of my pre-fest short film coverage.
Tumbleweed! (Texas Shorts)
Wow! Offbeat, whimsical, and completely delightful. Tumbleweed! is an inspirational story of a tumbleweed that refuses to tumble. This seven-minute short is the kind of little nugget that makes the shorts program a must-see. Very loosely set in Texas.
Heimkommen (Narrative Shorts)
A poignant and touching look at sibling tensions in the wake of a tragic accident, Heimkommen (Come Home) tells a story that is simple yet deep. Director Micah Magee is a San Antonio native and Ut Austin grad, and she's also a former Cinematexas co-director.
In the Pines (Narrative Shorts)
In nine minutes, In the Pines managed to re-create the mood I felt after two hours watching Tree of Life.
