Diana F+ Edelweiss

Hey folks, over at Bumpershine we’re big fans of music and photography and that’s why we couldn’t be more stoked to be giving away a brand new Diana F+ Edelweis from Lomography and a copy of the just released White Stripes DVD Under Great White Northern Lights. Honestly, I think this is my best giveaway ever.

Check out some more detailed specs on the Diana F+ Edelweiss below:

Under Great White Northern Lights

As they like to say in the infomercials, but wait, there’s more… The second half of this giveaway is a DVD copy of Under Great White Northern Lights, the brand new documentary feature from the White Stripes which is a tour diary of their awe-inspiring 2007 cross Canada tour.

Having first premiered at the Toronto Film Festival in September 2009, The White Stripes Under Great White Northern Lights documents the band playing to crowds in towns of all sizes across the Great White North – from traditional venues to matinee gigs at unusual locations such as a bowling alley, a boat and even on a city bus – culminating in a momentous 10th Anniversary show at the historic Savoy Theatre in Glace Bay, Nova Scotia. A captivating mix of striking live footage and poignant off-stage moments, this visually stirring and emotive feature length film celebrates the band’s 10 year history, bringing the band full circle in their career to a place reminiscent of how they first started out; shows where no one knew who they were, and where they were left to make a first impression with their music.

For those White Stripes completists out there, the new DVD is also available in a limited edition box-set (which I’m NOT giving away here):

• DVD of the documentary film The White Stripes Under Great White Northern Lights, directed by Emmett Malloy (92 minutes)
• DVD of the band’s 10th Anniversary show, The White Stripes Under Nova Scotian Lights, directed by Emmett Malloy (135 minutes)
• The first-ever official live album from The White Stripes, featuring 16 songs recorded at various shows during their 2007 Canadian tour on both vinyl and CD. The double LP comes pressed on 180 gram black vinyl packaged in a gatefold jacket with a 6 panel insert unique to the box set. The CD accompanies the film and Anniversary show DVDs in a special 7″ square 3 panel folder along with a 24 page bound booklet and slipcase.
• 7 inch vinyl featuring Icky Thump (Live) and The Wheels On The Bus (Live). Two versions available with different artwork and color of vinyl depending on your country of residence.
• 208 page hard cover book containing photographs of the Canadian tour shot by Autumn de Wilde with a foreword by Jim Jarmusch.
• 1 of 6 different silk-screened prints designed by Rob Jones.

PS Third Man Records is putting up a pop-up store at SXSW at Frank! (407 Colarado St). In my experience, where there’s a pop-up store, there’s usually a surprise White Stripes/Raconteurs/Dead Weather show to go along with it.

While the high profile (and excellent) original soundtrack for Where The Wild Things Are featuring Karen O and the Kids was snubbed by the Academy this year (though it did receive both Grammy and Golden Globe nods), the lesser known documentary film on Maurice Sendak entitled, Tell Them Anything You Want: A Portrait of Maurice Sendak, was not. The Lance Bangs/Spike Jonze directed short documentary feature comes out on DVD on March 2, 2010, which is also the same day that the critically polarizing Where The Wild Things Are is released on DVD and Blu-Ray.

To promote the release of both films (though B&N only mentions the documentary), Spike Jonze and Lance Bangs will be doing a Q&A with John Hodgman at Barnes & Noble Union Square on March 2, 2010. For those of you unfamiliar with the Sendak documentary (or missed it when it aired on HBO), here’s the amazon.com description:

From Lance Bangs and Spike Jonze, acclaimed director of WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE, comes TELL THEM ANYTHING YOU WANT: A PORTRAIT OF MAURICE SENDAK, a loving look at one of the most cherished and controversial figures in children’s literature. TELL THEM ANYTHING YOU WANT is a deeply moving tribute to Sendak, a seminal talent whose conflicts with success and lifelong obsession with death have subtly influenced his work. Now 81, Sendak is best known for his book, WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE, which he wrote twelve years into his career as a writer and illustrator. WILD THINGS would go on to become one of the most beloved and critically lauded children s books of all time and, much to Sendak s chagrin, would come to define his career. Through his own words, personal photos, and illustrations, Sendak offers a rare, intimate, and unexpected look at his exceptional life. TELL THEM ANYTHING YOU WANT also features James Gandolfini, Meryl Streep, Catherine Keener, and Tony Kushner honoring their friend and colleague.

In celebration of Mr. Sendak and the release of his signature work on DVD, I’m running another “super-cool” contest featuring the following prizes:

1 Copy of the Where The Wild Things Are Original Soundtrack on CD;
1 Copy of the Where The Wild Things Are motion picture on DVD;
1 Carol Mask; and
1 Where The Wild Things Are Crown.

For a chance to win these fabulous prizes, fill out the entry form after the jump. A random winner will be notified and selected on March 2, 2010 at midnight. Contest is only available to US residents, 1 entry per household (if you try and cheat, you won’t win).

Last but not least, for those of you that prefer the written word, you can still purchase the original award winning Maurice Sendak book in fine bookstores everywhere.

Charlotte Gainsbourg at The Bell House (01/20/10)

Photo: Jon Klemm

From the beginning the musical career of Gainsbourg fille has been entwined with that of Gainsbourg père, who died in 1991. Ms. Gainsbourg made her recording debut in 1985 at 13, a duet with her father on one of his juiciest succès de scandales, “Lemon Incest.” On Ms. Gainsbourg’s 2006 CD “5:55,” her first album after a 20-year musical hiatus, she sounded weighed down by her patrimony, singing in a voice delicate to the point of self-effacing amid orchestral pop arrangements that explicitly echoed her father’s records.

“Just because my father was such a genius with his songwriting, his lyrics, his music — that doesn’t mean I have any gift,” Ms. Gainsbourg, 38, said in a telephone interview from her home in Paris. “I don’t believe in that. I have my own path. But the comparisons are constant. And the comparisons are heavy to wear.”

In an e-mail message Ms. Birkin asserted that her daughter has already found her own identity. “I think she has established, in two very big-selling records, that ‘she is she,’ not Serge, not me. But, sweetly she has our voices in her head.”

Yet on “IRM,” which was produced and largely written by Beck, Ms. Gainsbourg’s anxiety of influence seems to have dissipated. She still sings in that patented Gainsbourgian hiss on “Master’s Hands” and several other tracks. But she branches out elsewhere, ambling through folk-rock ballads, venturing into dance-punk and blues, and letting Beck swamp her voice in layers of distortion. The result is an engrossingly eclectic pop record and a kind of coming-out party: the first time that Ms. Gainsbourg the chanteuse has displayed the charisma of Charlotte Gainsbourg the actress. [NYTimes.com]

I caught the second of Charlotte’s performances at the Bell House (Jan 20) and while some people at the club who attended both shows said she was less nervous on night 2, she still didn’t seem completely comfortable up on stage to me. She played a 45 minute set, with one 15 minute encore, and aside a little talk about Beck before “Master’s Hands”, there wasn’t much banter between songs. I’m glad I went, and while it was great to see the mysterious and iconic Gainsbourg live and up close, in the end, I don’t think this will go down as one of my “top shows” of 2010. Her whisper-like voice was drowned out a bit by her backing band, and even the strongest songs like “Heaven Can Wait” and “Master’s Hands” lacked a bit of the punch that they have on the record.

If you missed Charlotte in concert, you can catch the New York premiere of her new film Persécution tonight (Jan 25) at The Florence Gould Hall in Manhattan. Her new record IRM (which I really do like) is streaming this week (Jan 25-31) at Spinner.com. (No word on whether Charlotte will be putting together a full-blown your behind IRM, her upcoming Jan 29 concert in Toronto has been cancelled.)

Well, it’s January already, so that means it’s time to start thinking about the summer concert season. The first major announcement of 2010 comes from our friends at Celebrate Brooklyn! who will be hosting Boston’s Passion Pit and Newmarket Ontario’s Tokyo Police Club on June 29, 2010 at the Prospect Park Bandshell (Buy Tickets | Jan 30, 2010). Also appearing at Celebrate Brooklyn! this summer (but not officially announced yet) is jazz legend Allen Toussaint who will be playing the Prospect Park on June 12, 2010 (no word yet on whether this will be a free show or a paid event). The opening night gala for Celebrate Brooklyn! will take place on June 9, 2010— no headliner has been announced for this yet either, but it will be hard to top last year.

BRIC Arts Media, the organization that runs Celebrate Brooklyn!, is putting on a few “warm up” performing arts events before this year’s season gets rolling. Here’s what they’ve got planned so far:

01/26/10 A Special Screening of Still Featuring Bill Withers
02/03/10 Sweet Sweetback’s Baadassss Song (the Hood Opera)
02/04/10 Sweet Sweetback’s Baadassss Song (the Hood Opera)
02/27/10 Winter Warm Up: Comedy with Eugene Mirman & Pretty Good Friends

This really isn’t much of a surprise to anyone, but Alan Cumming, who is one of the stars of the upcoming Bono/Edge penned musical, Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark, confirmed at a recent Times Talks event that the production would be significantly delayed.

Previews were scheduled to begin next month, but speaking at a TimesTalk event, Mr. Cumming said: “No one’s going to be there that day. We’re just waiting.” He said the show had hit “an iceberg of financial ruin” last year when producers could not raise enough money for the show, which is expected to cost upwards of $50 million. He said the producers should have taken down posters in the theater district that suggest the show is opening soon… [NYTimes.com]

Up until recently, the show’s website said that previews were to begin on Feb 25, 2010, but it now just reads “Coming To Broadway”. Advance tickets are still available on Ticketmaster.com for the Feb 25 start date, but the American Express early on sale has been extended to Mar 31, 2010.

In other Spidey news, Sony decided that it will reboot the movie franchise after director Sam Raimi and actor Tobey Maguire announced that they would not be returning for Spider-Man 4. (Surely, there were all sort of politics at play at play here and you can find some of that information in Nikki Finke’s article for Deadline Hollywood Daily.)

The 34-year-old actor and “Spider-Man” director Sam Raimi will not be returning to the superhero franchise next year. Instead, Sony Pictures and Marvel Studios announced Monday that a new “Spider-Man” film based on a script by James Vanderbilt that focuses on Peter Parker in high school would debut in the summer of 2012 with a new cast and filmmaking team.

Ricky Gervais at WaMu at MSG (05/13/10-05/14/10)

Buy Tickets (Amex Early On Sale Begins Mon, Jan 18 at 10AM)

Even so, this year’s efforts to lure more eyeballs to the Globes include cramming even more stars into the ballroom of the Beverly Hilton hotel; hiring a host — the British actor and comedian Ricky Gervais — for the first time in 15 years; broadcasting the ceremony live from coast to coast; mixing up the order of the awards; following the telecast with an after-party show; and turning up the volume on the marketing.
…
NBC pushed the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, which bestows the awards, to hire a host. “It’s crucial in terms of advance publicity,” said Paul Telegdy, the network’s executive vice president for alternative programming. Mr. Telegdy noted that video promos featuring Mr. Gervais have been “a huge success” on the Web. The network’s goal for the show: a 10 percent ratings rise.

Why Mr. Gervais? “He’s just slightly dangerous,” Mr. Adelman said. “He’s always teetering on a should-I-really-say-that edge.” (While presenting at last year’s Globes, Mr. Gervais cracked a Holocaust joke.) [NYTimes.com]

In addition to hosting the Golden Globes on Sunday night, Gervais is doing a couple of nights of stand up at the WaMu Theatre at MSG on May 13 and 14, 2010. Tickets for those shows go on American Express early on sale starting Monday, Jan 18 at 10AM. Last but not least, Gervais is returning to the medium that made him famous next month in a new animated series based wildly successful podcast. The Ricky Gervais Show will premiere in the US on Feb 19, 2010 on HBO and in March 2010 on Channel 4 in the UK.

“A Bend In The Road” by Bend Sinister

It’s been a rough weekend and I’m super exhausted, but I just wanted to give a quick Monday morning shout out to this excellent looking documentary on touring Canada by Vancouver’s Bend Sinister. Let’s hope it comes out soon.

In other Bend Sinister news, the band recently made the finals for the lucrative 100.5 FM Peak Performance competition in Vancouver, BC, which means they’ve got at least 50K (CDN) coming to them after their January 22, 2010 gig at the Commodore Ballroom. The other Peak Performance finalists include Langley’s The Left and Kelowna’s We Are The City. The first place winner of the Peak Performance competition will take home $150,000, second place gets $75,000, and third place receives $50,000, not too shabby any way you slice it.

(If you’re a fan of Queen, you might enjoy Bend Sinister.)

Larger Than Life In 3D w/ Dave Matthews Band, Ben Harper & Gogol Bordello

Photos: Dave Matthews Band at ACL Festival 2009, Ben Harper at Mile High Festival by Jay Blakesberg, Gogol Bordello at APW 2009 by G!

The folks at AEG Live have been busy running around the country filming festivals over the past year or so, and this Friday (Dec 11) they are going to release some of that footage to the public in the form of a 3D concert film titled (something like), “Larger Than Life” in 3D Featuring Dave Matthews Band, Ben Harper and Gogol Bordello. “Larger Than Life” captures portions of Gogol Bordello’s awe-inspiring set at All Points West 2009, Ben Harper’s slide guitar laden outing at the 2009 Mile High Festival in Denver, CO and a good chunk of Dave Matthews sweat drenched headlining set at the 2009 Austin City Limits Festival in Austin, TX.

For those of you into DMB (there are some still some of you out there right?), you probably don’t need any convincing to go see this film, for the rest of us, I can give you three good reasons to go and see this film, “Gogol” and “Bordello” and “3D”. Eugene Hutz’s energetic live performance is only heightened by the stereoscopic 3D effect, my only complaint is that it was just too darn short (stick around for the end credits though, they throw in an extra GB song for the faithful). I was little surprised by the song choice for Ben Harper’s set as at least two songs have him seated while wailing away on the slide guitar, not necessarily the most compelling action to watch on screen (even if it is in 3D). Dave Matthews set leans heavily on tracks from his new Grammy Nominated CD, Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King, and caps off with a crowd pleasing “So Much To Say”/”Ants Marching” finale. Personally, I haven’t really been that enamored with Mr. Matthews since Crash rocked my world in 1996, and I can’t say I was really won over by the new material, but as I said before, I’m sure DMB fans will jump at the chance to see Dave “live” once again.

As for the 3D, this film is not about flying beach balls or preening for the camera— the effects are a lot more subtle than that. Sure at times, instruments, crowds, and at least one beach ball appear to “jump out” of the screen, but the biggest impression the 3D left on me was the illusion that there was some “real” physical space between the performers on stage. Also, as Jon remarked, because of the 3D, you can watch the movie from more than one visual perspective:

The thing that struck me most about the technology was, the endless depth of field in the video. It makes it more like being there in person since the viewer is able to look around and see anything on the screen clearly. This is in contrast to traditional films, where the cameraman leads the attention of the viewer by focusing on certain subjects within the video frame.

Well if you’d like to see for yourself what the fuss is about, I’m giving away two “Larger Than Life” prize packs with the following items:

1st Place
1 run of engagement movie pass (valid for 2 tickets)
2 “3D looking” replica tour passes, and
2 limited edition InConcert3D t-shirts
2 limited edition movie posters

2nd Place
1 run of engagement movie pass (valid for 2 tickets)
2 “3D looking” replica tour passes, and
1 limited edition InConcert3D t-shirt

Since the movie premieres on Friday, December 11 and ends its limited run on December 17 (just in time for James Cameron’s Avatar to take over all the 3D screens in America), I’m going to give this contest a very short fuse and end it on December 11 at noon EST. Use the entry form after the jump to enter the contest, valid only in the US, entrants must be 18+.

View some pictures of the prize pack and the “Larger Than Life In 3D” trailer after the jump.

PS For any Phish Phans out there, the folks at AEG mentioned that they also filmed the recent “Save The Date” festival at Coachella; the only question now is how to make it into a movie that lasts less than 3 days.

(Untitled)

The Hebrew Hammer (Adam Goldberg) is back on the big screen this weekend and this time he’s not playing an Orthodox private dick, but rather a composer of “unlistenable” music who becomes romantically involved with an art gallery owner (Marley Shelton). His new film has the Google friendly title of (Untitled) and it opens in New York and other selected cities today (Oct 23). I haven’t seen it yet, but the trailer looks pretty funny, and Marshall Fine of the Huffington Post seemed to be pretty jazzed about it:

A laugh-out-loud satire with a dry-martini wit, (Untitled) manages the neat trick of poking wicked fun at the worlds of experimental music and art — from all angles — even as it gives a humorously sympathetic look at the plight of the serious artist working far outside the commercial mainstream. [HuffingtonPost.com]

Last but not least, because I haven’t done this in a day or two, I’m giving away a couple of movie related items to one lucky reader who emails me at contests@bumpershine.com and tells me the name of their favorite Adam Goldberg movie. You could win the following:

1) A copy of the official movie soundtrack by David Lang, and
2) A full size movie poster.

US residents only please, a winner will be chosen on Friday, October 30. Please include your name and address if you want to have a chance at winning.

Star Wars: In Concert

So they’ve hired Anthony Daniels to host the show, but shouldn’t this gig really have gone to Bill Murray?

Star Wars: In Concert is a unique event that combines John Williams’ unforgettable music, performed by a live symphony orchestra and chorus, with specially edited footage from all six Star Wars films. Through each musical piece, audiences will experience the key themes, characters and story elements of the epic Star Wars saga from a new perspective. Taking a remarkable excursion into the heart of a galaxy far, far away.

A true multi-media experience, Star Wars: In Concert features a giant, specially constructed LED screen – one of the largest screens ever taken on tour – onto which the newly edited film sequences will be projected and synchrnoized to a live performance from John Williams’ thrilling scores. Anthony Daniels, the actor who portrays C-3PO in all six films, will introduce each segment of the two hour show, guiding audiences through the Star Wars story in a fresh and exciting way.

Tickets for Star Wars: In Concert at Nassau Coliseum (11/21/09 – 2 shows) and the Izod Center (11/20/09) go on Amex presale starting Monday, October 5 (today) at 10AM. On a side note, the absence of an MSG date is a little surprising… are we too good for Star Wars in this town?
