When none of us are generous enough to just buy an album (or join his notoriously unwieldy streaming service) there’s been a surge of reinterest as Neil Young makes his dizzyingly dense catalog freshly available on Spotify. Likely coinciding with his greatest exposure in years is the uncovering, by Creep director Patrick Brice, of Hal Ashby’s 1984 concert film Solo Trans, which spans some of Young’s earliest recorded music to then-new masterpiece Trans––my pick for his greatest work, which devoted fans have characterized with words such as “untenable” and “insane”––and controversial rockabilly period, which indeed sounds like a joke from Walk Hard.
Among these performances are skits in the tone of Young’s more-than-a-little-amazing feature film Human Highway, albeit (like most things) not as good as Human Highway. More devoted Ashby auteurists will surely find things to identify as distinctly his; it’s easier to admire...

South Korean actor Lee Sun-kyun, best known for his role in the Oscar-winning film “Parasite,” has died in an apparent suicide, South Korean police told NBC News on December 27. He was 48.
Lee’s body was discovered December 27 by authorities in his car parked on a street in northern Seoul. Police were searching for Lee after his family reported him missing, per NBC News. A cause of death hasn’t officially been ruled upon, but Lee reportedly left a message similar to a suicide note before his disappearance, and a charcoal briquette, commonly used in South Korea to induce suicide by carbon monoxide poisoning, was discovered in the passenger seat.
In the U.S., Lee was best known for his work in Bong Joon-Ho’s 2019 class satire “Parasite.” In the film, Lee plays Park Dong-ik, a wealthy man whose family is unknowingly the target of a poorer family’s schemes for employment.

2023 has taken many beloved actors from us and, in a shocking development, one more name has been added to the list to close out the year. Lee Sun-kyun, the actor best known to Western audiences for playing the role of wealthy family patriarch Dong Ik in director Bong Joon-ho's hit film "Parasite," sadly passed away Wednesday morning in Seoul (local time). The circumstances of the tragedy are complicated by a nationwide crackdown on illicit drug use in South Korea, which has led to allegations and investigations involving several high-profile public figures, including Lee. According to the New York Times, the death is being treated as a suicide. He was only 48 years old.
Although he rose to prominence internationally for starring in the Best Picture-winning film in 2019, Lee had built up a strong and successful career in both television and film throughout the years leading up to his breakthrough performance.

A few years ago, actor Lee Sun-kyun had a major role in a film that made history: director Bong Joon-ho’s dark comedy thriller Parasite, which racked up multiple Academy Awards: Best Picture, Best Director, Best Original Screenplay, and Best International Feature Film. It was the first non-English-language film to win the Academy Award for Best Picture. But now Lee’s life has come to a tragic early end. South Korea’s emergency office has confirmed that Lee has passed away at the age of 48, and it’s suspected that he committed suicide.
As Deadline notes, since October Lee had been “under investigation after drug use allegations amid an ongoing crackdown on illegal drugs by the South Korean government. Local news service Yonhap reported that Lee had been questioned multiple times by authorities, including for 19 hours this past weekend. The actor had said he was tricked into taking drugs.” Lee...

Some of the best episodes of TV were written before the writer was even hired. The staff that writes great television like "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" usually starts out by writing a spec script — in plain English, they script an original episode of the series within the framework laid out by the series creator and the writers. Some of the most memorable moments of the entire show have originated this way, including Giles getting thrown out of the Watchers' council. The spec script that got David Fury hired as the main writer of the season 3 episode "Helpless." However, not everything from his initial pitch made its way into the episode.
In the 12th episode of the season that follows Buffy's final year as a student at Sunnydale High, she starts to grapple with the authority figures in her life in a new way — her final boss is the town mayor,...

In the midst of the surge of J-horror following the success of “Ringu”, it seems that someone had an idea of parodying the standards (cliches if you prefer) of the category. That someone was Shinji Aoyama and the film was “Embalming”, a production that is deceptively badly written and occasionally directed, still managing, though, to retain its fun element from beginning to end.

A needle found in the body, however, leads Miyako into thinking that there may be more to his death, while Hiraoka seems to think that the deceased's girlfriend, Rika is more involved than she appears to be.

By the time Martin Scorsese’s music documentary “The Last Waltz” premiered in 1978, the legendary Americana music progenitors the Band, whom the film explores, had gone from “Cahoots” to kaput for two years.
The 1976 farewell concert at the center of the film was already a piece of rock and roll history by the time the film debuted. Seeing it Oct. 5 at the Grammy Museum in Los Angeles in celebration of its 45th anniversary, it’s clear how much history and American music culture was also saying “Good Night” with Rick Danko, Garth Hudson, Richard Manuel, Levon Helm and the Band’s unofficial leader Robbie Robertson (who called the group “The Brotherhood.”)
To help sort out the importance of “Waltz’s” place in rock history was music historian Harvey Kubernik, who shared his recollections of attending the concert at the Winterland Theater in San Francisco; music rights firm CEO/founder Olivier Chastain,...

Jeon Seung-pyo was born in Seoul in 1991. He graduated from Yonsei University with a major in Sociology and specialized in Film Directing at the Korea National University of Arts. He directed four short films and “Helpless” is his debut feature film.
“Helpless” is screening at Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival
Geun-seong is a rather failed salesman of medical devices, who aspires, though, to become a YouTube sensation, although he is not particularly successful in that regard either. During a school club reunion, he meets a former classmate, Jong-man, who has actually managed to become a celebrity through YouTube, by adopting a hermaphrodite persona with pink hair that seems to be quite popular. In his drunken stupor, Geun-seong proposes a collaboration, hoping to leverage Jong-man's fame to boost his own broadcast. However, he is completely turned down, and even more drunk, returns to his apartment and records a video stating that...

Neil Young and Stephen Stills reunited at Los Angeles’ Greek Theater on Saturday night for the latter’s “Light Up The Blues” autism awareness event. It was Young’s first on-stage performance since 2019.
The largely collaborative set concluded the night, with Young stepping up for solo renditions of “From Hank to Hendrix” and “Comes a Time” before being joined by house band Promise of the Real for “Heart of Gold.” Stills added piano accompaniment on the Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young number, “Helpless,” and remained to deliver a series of Buffalo Springfield songs, including “For What It’s Worth,” “Bluebird,” and “Mr. Soul” with help from Joe Walsh.
They closed with a rendition of “Long May You Run” from Stills-Young Band’s one-off 1976 joint album of the same name. Watch fan-captured footage of the setlist’s highlights below.

Neil Young always knew Tonight’s the Night was intense. “If you’re gonna put a record on at 11:00 in the morning, don’t put on Tonight’s the Night,” he warned Cameron Crowe in 1975. “Put on the Doobie Brothers.”
Young’s point was evident without even hearing the music. Just look at the stark, spooky cover, which features him standing onstage in complete darkness, wearing a pinstripe jacket and raising his finger to the microphone, his mouth forming a ghoulish smile. His shoulder-length hair looks like it’s gone many days without a wash,...

In the series of news about wars and attacks, it often seems there is no way to really grasp the impact the event, to understand the reality of the catastrophe which we just hear or read about. Because the rapid speed of news does not allow for time to recuperate or fully comprehend the human tragedies behind, the image is often one for the moment, but then quickly forgotten, even though the repercussions will probably stick with people and communities for many years to come. Many times the idea of starting over or move forward is thwarted by our memories, the lasting physical or emotional damage caused sometimes without us being aware of it.

Shinji Aoyama, the Japanese film director, writer and composer known for the film “Eureka,” which won him two prizes at the 2000 Cannes Film Festival, died March 21 in Tokyo after a battle with esophageal cancer, according to local reports. He was 57.
Aoyama made waves in the international film community when he premiered “Eureka” at Cannes. The film was a black-and-white drama about the aftermath of a bus hijacking, based on a real incident, and it won the Fipresci and Ecumenical Jury prizes. “Eureka” boosted Aoyama to the forefront of a new generation of Japanese filmmakers, and he returned to the festival in 2001 with “Desert Moon” and in 2005 with “Eri Eri Rema Sabakutani.”
Born on July 13, 1964, in Kitakyushu, Japan, Aoyama initially wanted to be a rock musician, but became interested in cinema after watching Francis Ford Coppola’s 1979 film “Apocalypse Now” and later cited Jean-Luc Godard’s films “Pierrot le Fou” and...

Kim Min-hee began modeling when she was in middle school, and soon appeared as a cover girl in teen magazines. In 1999, she was cast in the campus drama School 2 as a rebellious high school girl, which launched her to stardom. She became a popular young star at barely 20 years old, appearing in TV dramas and movies. However, a string of poor acting performances brought her negative criticism. Critics and viewers disparagingly called her an “attractive but blank actress,” more famous for being a fashion icon and actor Lee Jung-jae‘s then-girlfriend.
In 2006, after reading the synopsis of TV series “Goodbye Solo”, Kim knew that she wanted the role of Mi-ri more than anything, saying “I was ready to do anything to play her.” She begged renowned screenwriter Noh Hee-kyung to cast her, and though Noh turned her down five times, Kim would not give up, and her determination eventually convinced...

Neil Young returned to his childhood hometown of Omemee, Ontario, and played his 1978 classic “Come a Time” to an empty Coronation Hall, the site of his 2017 Hometown concert. You can watch the video on the Neil Young Archives, which is free for all users through the end of December.
“Coronation Hall in Omemee, Ontario, is a wonderful old theater,” he wrote. “It holds memories of my family, all together in that little town. My dad played Coronation Hall once in a local show as my mother, my brother, and I sat in the audience.

“Do you think one can live only for others?”
In the series of news about wars and attacks, it often seems there is no way to really grasp the impact the event, to understand the reality of the catastrophe which we just hear or read about. Because the rapid speed of news does not allow for time to recuperate or fully comprehend the human tragedies behind, the image is often one for the moment, but then quickly forgotten, even though the repercussions will probably stick with people and communities for many years to come. Many times the idea of starting over or move forward is thwarted by our memories, the lasting physical or emotional damage caused sometimes without us being aware of it.

The Last Waltz is one of the greatest concert movies of all time. It’s also one of the most over-tributed. But Marcus King and a cast of Nashville’s finest breathed new life into the Band’s storied farewell show on Monday night with fresh arrangements and, in some cases, even new lyrics.

In every cultural figure or moment’s lifespan, there comes a point where they are subject to what can be summarized as the “You’re Wrong About” treatment, or the concept that even our most deeply held beliefs and cherished orthodoxies are ripe for reappraisal. (There’s even an eponymous podcast devoted to this process.)
The “You’re Wrong About” treatment isn’t necessarily contrarianism, though it can be a result of that impulse; nor is it what people these days call “cancellation,” though it can often be a precursor to that.

Last week, Disney+ added to its library a filmed version of the oh-so popular Broadway musical Hamilton, and the internet has been obsessing over it ever since.
Based on the autobiography of America’s least-known but arguably most-influential founding father, Hamilton tells the life story of a self-made immigrant bureaucrat named Alexander Hamilton. Presenting an old story in an incredibly original and contemporary manner – complete with modern dance and music styles – the musical became an instant hit.
Given how tickets have been sold out for so long, Disney+ subscribers were naturally overjoyed to learn that, for the first and perhaps only time ever, they would be able to experience the story from the comfort of their living rooms. Although a filmed version of the musical was initially going to appear in theaters sometime next year, Disney seized an opportunity to entertain their quarantined customers with this exclusive offer.

If you're wondering if there's any dialogue in Hamilton before it's released on Disney+ on July 3, the answer to that is sort of. There are a couple scenes that include dialogue like the "Redcoat Transition," where ensemble members act as a redcoats and patriot spies between the songs "You'll Be Back" and "Right Hand Man," and the "Tomorrow There'll Be More of Us" scene, which happens when Hamilton finds out that John Laurens is killed.
However, while many consider Hamilton a musical, it's technically an opera since it doesn't use dialogue to transition between songs. Creator Lin-Manuel Miranda decided to forego the traditional musical route after working with a playwright because he "found that if you start with our opening number, you can't go back to speech." In an opera, the singing almost never stops, and in Hamilton's case, the singing and rapping is nonstop.

Where to start with Hamilton? To call Lin-Manuel Miranda’s revisionist musical a smash hit would be an understatement. Since playing in its finished form for the first time off-Broadway in February 2015, Hamilton has become as much a global phenomenon as anything has in the past five years, spawning productions on multiple continents, numerous number-one albums and in-jokes on whichever sitcom or movie you’ve become acquainted with over the past few months.
Now, finally, after buying streaming rights to the filmed performance for some $75 million, the definitive Broadway production is now on Disney+. It doesn’t disappoint.
As much a theatrical event in and of itself as an opportune testament to the magic of musical theatre, this Broadway cut of Hamilton could not come at a better time for fans of the genre. Even the cheers and whoops of the gathered audience – which come pretty often – carry an added...

Lots of people have been waiting for years to see the film made from Lin-Manuel Miranda’s Tony- and Pulitzer Prize-winning musical “Hamilton.” It’s been almost five years, after all, since the musical premiered on Broadway in the summer of 2015, and four years since the original cast filmed a string of shows at the Richard Rodgers Theatre in June of 2016 — years in which devotees of the smash hit eagerly anticipated how it would translate to film or television screens.
I was not one of those people, because I never saw “Hamilton.” Oh, I entered the lottery for tickets on the occasions when I was in New York City, and also tried when the touring company came to Los Angeles. But I never got lucky — and since a friend of mine once told me that you shouldn’t listen to the original cast album until you’d seen the show,...

Back in April, Global Citizen pulled off one of the biggest — and certainly one of the most unprecedented — musical events ever: A massive virtual advocacy festival, organized in a couple of weeks, boasting a multi-generational lineup of talent that performed from their homes at the start of the Covid-19 crisis. It was a huge success, and a tough act to follow, but two months later, Global Citizen set out to out-do itself with another concert special that not only reflected where we are now but aimed at an even higher philanthropic target.

Broadcast on television and radio in 180-plus countries, and streamed globally across YouTube, Facebook and Twitter, Global Citizen’s “Global Goal: Unite for Our Future” — presented in two parts Saturday, as “The Summit” and “The Concert” — presented a plethora of musical performances while trumpeting $6.9 billion in funds raised leading up to the specials. The money was raised from governments, private sector entrepreneurs and foundations for funds dedicated to causes fighting racial, sexual and social injustice and the still-deadly coronavirus.
Hosted by a stoic Dwayne Johnson, “The Concert” featured performances from Usher, Miley Cyrus, Chloe x Halle, Christine and the Queens, Coldplay, J Balvin, Jennifer Hudson, Shakira, Yemi Alade and the pairing of Justin Bieber and Quavo.

Members of the original cast of Hamilton, along with the Roots, staged a virtual reunion to perform the musical’s “Helpless” as part of Global Citizen’s “Global Goal: Unite for Our Future” live stream event Saturday.
The performance featured actress Phillipa Soo reprising her Tony-nominated role of Eliza Hamilton, with the singer taking the lead on the track for the first time since exiting the musical in 2016. Lin-Manuel Miranda, the show’s original Alexander Hamilton, also Zoomed in to drop his mid-song verse.

When it opened in 2015, “Hamilton” instantly became both the hottest ticket on Broadway and the hardest to come by. Sure, if you were Beyoncé, Oprah, the Obamas, or just willing to shell out hundreds of dollars for nosebleed seats, you could be among those lucky enough to catch Lin-Manuel Miranda’s zeitgeist-defining musical about Alexander Hamilton with its original cast.
Beyond its accolades, including 11 Tony Awards, a Grammy and the Pulitzer Prize for drama, “Hamilton” became a cultural touchstone that resonated far beyond the Great White Way. Though touring productions later sprung up in Los Angeles, Chicago and London and beyond, fans without access the stage show instead religiously listened to the cast album and scoured YouTube for any morsels of the hip-hop infused musical.

Over the years, they added “Albuquerque” and “Come On Baby Let’s Go Downtown” into the mix, but they never got a chance to hang with him until they showed up at the New World Music Theatre in Tinley Park, Illinois, for Farm Aid on October 3rd, 1998.

For bluegrass virtuoso Molly Tuttle, Neil Young’s “Helpless” has been a concert staple for years, often played as an encore in her live shows. Now she has released a studio version of the song, which Young issued 50 years ago this past March with his then-band mates David Crosby, Stephen Stills and Graham Nash. Driven by a simple folk melody and stark, yet color-filled lyrics, Tuttle’s plaintive take on the tune also showcases the members of Old Crow Medicine Show.

When I think about the American New Wave, I’m always traveling through the vast open roads of North America, its forever-changing landscapes and mythical American dreams, with all its bittersweet promise. Sonically speaking, I’m in that space, too. So much of the New Hollywood cinema is vast Americana; Death Valley and desert-hot gas stations, the ultimate nihilistic road movie. But so much of it is everywhere else too; sleek Manhattan apartment blocks, the old Wild West, and the outer regions of space. In my head it’s a mixtape of philosophical and artistic ideas, one of cinema’s counter-culture melting pots where more questions are raised than answered and the plot is not driven by a desire for resolution.This mix was dreamed up as a mixtape: driving across state lines, re-adjusting the radio station on the dashboard as the trip moves further towards a destination that is unknown.

A new Leon Bridges song will premiere in the final episode of Season 2 of HBO’s “Big Little Lies” and be featured on the second soundtrack for the series.
“He had great timing,” says music supervisor Simon Astall. “We got this demo for a song that’s going to be on his next album and it worked in episode seven.”
Titled “That Was Yesterday,” its placement is part of the producers’ use of songs and specific artists as a connective tissue from season to season and even episode to episode. It’s the music of Charles Bradley and Ann Pebbles, the sound of Janis Joplin, and songs such as Neil Young’s “Harvest Moon” and Fleetwood Mac’s “Dreams” that work their way into multiple episodes. Sunday night’s episode closed with a show-commissioned cover of Timmy Thomas’ “Why Can’t We Live Together” by My Morning Jacket’s Jim James...

If you love the “Hamilton” soundtrack, just wait until you hear your favorite songs from the musical mashed up with some of your favorite hits. Joining the London cast of the musical for a new digital #Ham4Ham video, Lin-Manuel Miranda took “Hamilton” songs like “Helpless,” Satisfied” and “The Schuyler Sisters” and mixed them in with Rolling Stones’ “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction,” Spice Girls’ “Wannabe,” Oasis’ “Wonderwall” and Adele’s “Hello.” “Hamilton” was the biggest play to hit Broadway in ages, winning 11 Tony Awards this past June. But more massive than the list of awards were its ticket prices.
