Charro! A film by Charles Marquis Warren
Dvd Submitted by Warner Home Entertainment
The Western Charro is a loner amongst the Elvis movies. Although he wore the boots already in the 1961 western film “Flaming Star”, this 1969 movie could have been another mark in film history if only the director & the producers had decided to make a real "spaghetti" western out of it.
The film is obviously inspired on the Sergio Leone and assorted films that were very in demand during that period but it never becomes as mean or political incorrect as for instance “For a few dollars more” or “Once upon a time in the west”. However as said before it is not a typical Elvis Film also. No dancing or singing, no bikini clad girls ... continue reading

Q&A: Paul Anka still doing it his way
NEW YORK (Billboard) - As a recording artist, songwriter or both, Paul Anka has appeared on the Billboard charts in every decade since the 1950s.
Anka began as a teen idol with such hits as "Diana" and "Puppy Love," but he later emerged as a powerhouse songwriter, responsible for perennials including "(You're) Having My Baby," Tom Jones' "She's a Lady" and of course, Frank Sinatra's signature song "My Way."
Along the way, Anka has helped other artists start out. He invited fellow Canadian David Clayton-Thomas to appear on an episode of '60s rock 'n' roll TV performance series "Hullabaloo" that he hosted, giving the future Blood, ... continue reading

Concert review SEATSNIFFERS @ Kaffee Beatnik, Beerse 23/08/07
Is there a better way to get in the mood for the weekend than going to see The Seatsniffers on a thursday evening. I don't think so, so we headed for Kaffee Beatnik, conveniently located right in the centre of Beerse. Just park near the church and walk a few 100 metres. First time I went to this café and I'd been warned it's a very small bar and I'd better reserve my tickets. Well, that was no lie : I've lived in apartments bigger than Kaffee Beatnik. I overheard that 120 people is the maximum capacity, and the place was packed. You could still breath and move and go to the bar, but packed is the right word alright. The stage is so small The ... continue reading

Live a little, Love a little a film by Norman Taurog
Submitted by Warner Brothers Home Entertainment
This was one of Elvis more daring and adult orientated films. The 28th film to be exact! Elvis is Greg Nolan a successful photographer that works for a slick adult entertainment magazine and for an advertising company. The only problem he has to keep this hidden from his superiors, especially since both are in the same building. Michelle Carey is Bernice/Betty/Suzie/Alice a sex starving beach beauty that makes live a bit too difficult for Elvis and a bit too expensive, hence the two jobs and the funny situations.
This movie cast Elvis an adult male instead of a teenager and put him even in bed with his female co-star Michelle. The film ... continue reading

Rockabilly Day, 25 & 26/08/2007
First year they did a 2 day festival, so if they want to keep this going on, maybe they should change the name. A great festival always nice to see so many familiar faces there and meet a few new people.
It started on Saturday night, with a double gig in a tent, on stage the Ugly Buggy Boys and the Rocka-t-bones. First on stage the Ugly Buggy Boys, very good band and great show. They played songs like: “Bananas”, “Smoke on the water”.
Next on stage: Miss Beeby, a nice burlesque show.
By then it was time for the last band of the evening: The Rocka- t- bones. I’m always impressed by the way Selim slaps that bass, what a great player. ... continue reading

THIS IS ELVIS: a film by Malcolm Leo and Andrew Solt
DVD submitted by Warner Brothers Home Entertainment
This is Elvis, is indeed another documentary on the live of the man! However “yet another documentary” aren’t the right words for this masterpiece of cinema.
Made in 1981, by two of the best music documentary makers on this globe Malcolm Leo and Andrew Solt and produced by David L Wolper, the 97 minutes long film is indeed pure class!
Malcolm Leo became famous as a director with documentaries like “Rolling Stone : Twenty years of Rock and Roll” and musical shows like “Rock and Roll Moments” or “Bob Hope's Overseas Christmas Tours: Around the World with the Troops - 1941-1972”. As a producer he was involved ... continue reading
