		An unusual song choice for the film's trailer, but then again director Sofia Coppola has always demonstrated an ability to stay ahead of the curve when it comes to music associated with her films.
		Music producer Gregory Grene (of FCB, the agency that created the ad): "I think it was the first time we were able to break a track almost a full month before the release.
		If the song in a new TV commercial for Cingular's "Family Talk" cellphone plan sounds familiar, it might be that you've heard it in an ad before.

	Amazon.com: The Music Man (1962 Film Soundtrack): Music: Meredith Willson,Robert Preston,Shirley Jones
		In light of all the hit Broadway musicals that have stumbled in their translation to the big screen, The Music Man stands out as an exception; it is one of the best-loved movie musicals of all time.
		"The Music Man" is the most American of all the great American musicals, with a performance by Robert Preston as Professor Harold Hill that arguably ranks as the best of all time.
		I'm a sophmore in high school and we recently just wrapped up out fall musical "The Music Man." When I auditioned I had heard of it, but I had no real clue what it was about.

	The Music Man (1961)
		That's the intended ratio, and that's the way this musical must be seen, because of its panoramic composition; the credit on the film is for the Technirama process, an anamorphic system promoted by the same people as Technicolor.
		This is Meredith Willson's The Music Man, using his words and music.
		The Music Man is Harold Hill (or at least, that's the name he's using this trip...).

	The Mediadrome - Film - Reviews: Spider-Man
		It also would have been nice if Danny Elfman's musical score had a catchier theme, especially considering how catchy the theme music was for the classic 1960's cartoon series.
		Unlike Batman, who was a rich tycoon with fancy gadgets, and Superman, who was an alien from another planet, Spider-Man's alter-ego was a nerdy kid from a working class New York suburb, and Raimi--like Stan Lee's original comic--wisely keeps the story focused on his coming of age and adolescent upbringing.
		Not only does it have to set up how Spidey got his powers, but it also has to grapple with the soap opera-like scenario of having the woman he loves go out with his best friend, whose father just so happens to be his arch-enemy, the Green Goblin.

	DVD REVIEW: THE MUSIC MAN
		There's so much to recommend the film version of the Meredith Willson musical, from the engaging star presence of Robert Preston as the con man traveling salesman and Shirley Jones as the small town Librarian he tries to cast under his spell.
		That's why I have such fond memories of "The Music Man." Of course we were all shocked years later when our leading man was arrested for molesting several of his students.
		Still, the chorus had a lot to do in "The Music Man." We had to play numerous roles, and ended up in most of the musical numbers.

		This summer’s Area: Two tour is a rock/rap/techno extravaganza that includes David Bowie, Busta Rhymes, Blue Man Group, Ash, Carl Cox, John Digweed, DJ Tiesto, and DJ Tim Skinner, along with Moby himself (it’s scheduled to hit the Tweeter Center on August 3).
		The first single (and first track), "We Are All Made of Stars," does homage to the dystopian post-punk new wave that seemed to dominate the British music scene in the early ’80s.
		Moby was also nominated for a Grammy last year, and that just happened to be the same awards show that was dominated by the controversy surrounding Eminem’s multiple nominations and his showstopping duet with Elton John.

	The Music Man (Original Soundtrack) - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		Coming along in the summer of 1962, four and a half years after the Broadway opening, the film version of +The Music Man appeared in an era when Hollywood was more likely to be faithful to stage musicals, rather than dramatically altering them, as had been the practice in the past.
		The Music Man found Robert Preston re-creating his starring role as conman Professor Harold Hill, intent on swindling the good people of River City, IA, by selling them on a fictitious boys' band, and some minor roles were also filled by the Broadway originals.

	The coffeeshop and the one-man band
		With their variety of musical styles and inherent versatility, one-man band performances seem fortuitously poised to be able to rehabilitate the coffeehouse as a serious and friendly-to-hipster-youth music venue.
		No longer just some corny carny with a bass drum strapped to his back, tambourines on his shoes, and a ukulele in each hand, today’s Texas one-man band is a charismatic, even hysterically energetic performer with impressive musicianship and an equally impressive array of tape loops and other technological wonders.
		Unfortunately, the “one-man” part of the term remains largely accurate at this time, though I’m sure that will be changing soon as more women dust off their instrument collections and strike outside traditional singer-songwriter territory as well.

	Slim's: Upcoming Shows
		FILM SCHOOL (6/10) - Film School's story is a fairly long and windy one, but the result is a band with impressively eclectic influences (Pink Floyd, The Who, obscure electronica, metal, drone, alternative 80's), a grandiose collective musical history and a healthy bout of critical acclaim.
		It's an unexpected effort from a young man in the unlikely suburban surroundings of Huntington Beach: a city whose reputation is built on surfers and skaters, not brown-eyed bards with compelling voices.
		ELLIOT RANDALL / JESSE BREWSTER BAND (6/9) - Though relatively new on the scene, 23-year-old Elliot Randall has proven to be a welcome addition to the Bay Area music community.

		True, but AFAIR "One man band" was shown besides the competition as a highlight of the closing ceremony.
		I had the chance to saw "one man band" 3 times at the Annecy animation festival last week.

	The Stranger Seattle Music Feature Crash of the Titan
		I mean he's a one-man rock band—which, in typical genre phrasing, means Ezee plays drums, guitar, bass, and sings, all in the course of one song, and both live and on his recordings.
		When I say that Ezee Tiger is a one-man band, I don't mean it in the style of, say, some major-label outcast doing his best Dylan on the old acoustic.
		Although he doesn't have to hassle with the collective input of, say, his old Denver band Gay Barbarians, there is the technical challenge of actually playing a show.

	Music For Maniacs: ARTHUR ONE MAN BAND
		That film got it's name from Nakane's remake of the oldie "Secret Agent Man." When he sings it, not only does he change it to "Secret Asian Man," complete with verses sung in Japanese, but he pulls back his eyes, like when kids make those slanty-eyed Asian stereotype faces!
		The first was "The police took my car" sung to the tune of Feliz Nativad(yeah I mangled that didn't I).
		He's also opened for punk bands, appeared on radio and TV, and was the subject of a short documentary that played the Sundance Film Festival called "Secret Asian Man."

		Because the film has no plot per se, the aural whimsy contrasts the serious side of the character sketch, often giving the scenes a truly chilling effect.
		A film without narration, “Yelling Man” lets its star speak (yell) for himself to a soundtrack that favors a postmodern psychedelic structure.
