Ensuring that the next time you’re cuddling with that special someone, you can hop over to the turntable and spin them a little “Backdoor Lover,” Pitchfork reports that the Josie And The Pussycats soundtrack is making its way to vinyl. Produced by Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds, and featuring work from a number of influential songwriters of the early 2000s (plus Letters To Cleo’s Kay Hanley on lead vocals), the Pussycats soundtrack was significantly more successful than its attendant movie (despite the latter’s hard-won status as a satirical cult-classic).
The album is being reissued by Mondo, which is putting together a big event in L.A. to commemorate the release. The film’s directors, Harry Elfont and Deborah Kaplan, will be in attendance, while Hanley will be on hand to play a Josie And The Pussycats set.

If you were a teenager of a certain disposition in the mid-'90s, then "The Craft" probably meant a lot to you. The supernatural, angsty movie brought together Robin Tunney, Neve Campbell, Rachel True, and Fairuza Balk and followed four high school girls who combine their witchy powers. The movie is definitely a particular era, and spawned a soundtrack featuring Letters To Cleo, Spacehog, Elastica, Our Lady Peace, and other acts that barely made it into the 2000s. And now, in what will be viewed by some as a kind of cruel curse, it's getting a remake. But with an interesting choice at helm. Sony has tasked Leigh Janiak to write and direct the picture. She made waves last year with her horror "Honeymoon" starring Rose Leslie and Harry Treadaway, and has since helmed an episode of the forthcoming "Scream" TV series. This is certainly a big step up and...

In my book, Adam Scott went from douchey creepo to awkwardly adorable. All this stemming his role as Ben Wyatt on Parks And Recreation. That Letters To Cleo shirt really won me over. Yeah, so it's a fictional character, like I care. No, I didn't forget Party Down. Scott who has been in a ton of parts, but never really made it to leading man status may sign on for Hot Tub Time Machine 2 to do exactly that. Director Steve Pink and cast members Craig Robinson, Rob Corddry and Clark Duke...

A Conversation With American Hi-Fi's Stacy Jones Mike Ragogna: Would it be fair to call you a pop-rock? Stacy Jones: Yeah, sure. I'll take that. Mr: You have a new album called Fight The Frequency. But first, you were the drummer for Veruca Salt and also Letters To Cleo, right? Sj: That's right, back in the 90s, indeed. You know, I'm a drummer by trade. So, I grew up playing drums, and I sort of got my start professionally playing drums. I was lucky enough to be in Letters To Cleo and Veruca Salt, and I got to play with Aimee Mann and Juliana Hatfield. I played with all the chick rockers in the '90s, basically. I guess, at a certain point, I thought I might give singing and playing the guitar a try, and that's how American Hi-Fi was born. Mr: Kind of worked,...

A decade ago, one of the finest bands from Boston's eclectic '90s rock community decided to call it quits. On this day in 2000, Letters to Cleo took the stage for what ended up being their final show (they officially announced their break-up about a month later). Though they had sold hundreds of thousands of records, had videos in heavy rotation on MTV and had achieved international success, Letters to Cleo went out the way they began, playing a small Boston club as part of a multi-act bill that helped to raise money for longtime friend and scene fixture Mikey D.
It was a poetic end for the group, who first got together in 1990 when singer Kay Hanley and guitarist Greg McKenna changed the name of their group ("Cleo" was an actual pen pal that Hanley had when she was younger). They became a fixture in the local rock scene...

Trouble just keeps following Jay Leno. Now that his primetime experiment is over with and he is returning to late night as the host of "The Tonight Show" once the Winter Olympics wrap up, he was probably hoping for a smooth transition back behind his old desk. Unfortunately, that may not be the case. There are reports out there that longtime "Tonight Show" bandleader Kevin Eubanks will not be returning to the show. (Keep in mind that the same report cites sources who say that Eubanks will indeed be back, so do with that information what you will.)
While Eubanks has never been the sort of dynamic force that Max Weinberg or Paul Shaffer has been for Conan O'Brien and David Letterman, he still has an easy chemistry with Leno, and any interruption in that chemistry could derail Leno's delicate re-introduction to the late night fold. The new bandleader would...

As has been acknowledged in the past, Katy Perry has one of the greatest Twitter feeds on the Internet. It's an incredible combination of high-concept inside jokes, reactions to food and truly amazing just-snapped photos. Late last night, Perry's feed became the center of a hilarious flame-up that began as a prank played by her producer and ended up with weigh-ins from the likes of Perez Hilton and Gabe Saporta.
It began when Perry tweeted, "Is it normal to have the reacurent [sic] rash with blisters on my vagina?" It was an unusual dispatch, but perhaps no more unusual than anything else that she unleashes (after all, she addressed rumors about her pregnancy by tweeting "That's right I'm bleeding" a few weeks ago). But then she followed that up with the message "Um you mean Recurrent? Idiot. This is war!"
That message was tweeted at producer Dr. Luke, who apparently had...
