Bringing back the Howard
The Washington Times (Free subscription) | yesterday
The Howard. Just mention the legendary theater in a room full of Washingtonians old enough to remember the place in its heyday and listen. Everyone has a story. For decades, the Howard Theatre was a mecca for black entertainers such as Duke Ellington, Ella Fitzgerald, Pearl Bailey, Cab Calloway, James Brown, the Supremes, the Drifters. Then the lights went out. It's been years since the theater went...

Le Corbeau (1943, France) - An anonymous letter writer spreads dark accusations in a small town. The town is so full of depraved people that practically everyone could be the culprit, or at least are so unlikeable that you don't mind them being falsely accused of it. Watched it all. Frankenstein Meets the Wolfman (1943, USA) - By the undead eyebrows of Bela Lugosi, how many are there of these? Watched:...

. They called Atlantic Records "the house that Ruth built" during the 1950s, and they weren't referring to the Sultan of Swat. Ruth Brown's regal hitmaking reign from 1949 to the close of the '50s helped tremendously to establish the New York label's predominance in the R&B field. Later, the business all but forgot her — she was forced to toil as domestic help for a time —...

The Avett Brothers: "Slight Figure of Speech" (Live on Fallon) (Video)
prefixmag (Free subscription) | 11/19/2009
The Avett Brothers brought their new single, "Slight Figure of Speech," onto Fallon last night, trying their best to bring a hootenanny experience to late night TV (and sorta succeeding, if you count those three people who dance in the background). Two things of note: One, scatting is never a good vocal technique, unless you're Cab Calloway, and two, a cello is not a rocking instrument,...

TV Review: Wanda Sykes: Second chance?
Entertainment Weekly (Free subscription) | 11/15/2009
I liked Sykes’ Sammy Sosa jokes more than the ones George Lopez made on his new talk show earlier in the week. Commenting on the media chatter about Sosa’s skin appearing lighter, Sykes sidekick, Keith Robinson, said, “He looks like Cab Calloway now.” “He just needs a zoot suit,” added Sykes. I always like people with a sense of history.
