This is why the interweb is great. In the Stars You Once Fancied thread Sheev posted a YouTube montage of Gillian Blake, containing the fantastic David Cassidy tune Cherish . This prompted a bit of a Partridge Family meandering on Spotify and Wikipedia. I have re-discovered how many great pop songs they released. Some may scoff, but considering the music was largely the work of The Wrecking Crew it's...
p>We videoed the film Ghost Rider when it was on Channel 5 a few weeks ago. We watched it tonight. I really hope it was supposed to be some kind of comedy. It didn't take itself too seriously but it looked and sounded a bit stupid, as if it didn't know it was so ridiculous. The acting was fairly bad but a lot of that might have been due to the awful script.</p> <p>The...
It's the most wonderful time of the year once again, so in the spirit of the season, I will be featuring more of my favorite holiday moments here on Deep Dish during the next month (you can check out the ones from last year below). First up is Gretchen Wieners, Regina George, Cady Heron and Karen Smith (Lacey Chabert, Rachel McAdams, Lindsay Lohan, Amanda Seyfried) singing "Jingle Bell Rock"...
The authorities knew it was deadly more than 100 years ago, but it was only banned entirely in 1999. The annual death rate will peak at more than 5,000 in 2016 – now MPs have a chance to do the decent thing. By Emily Dugan They called it "the Barking cough". First it began like any other: a tickle in the chest and slight pain on breathing. Then, within a matter of months, the sufferer...
On this day in Phillies history it took $400,000 to save the team from an embarrassing situation. William B. Cox had done a lot of good things for the Philadelphia Phillies when he purchased them in 1943. For the first time in almost 30 years the Phillies were making strides on the field and were becoming a team to be reckoned with in the National League. No longer were the Phillies a perennial cellar...
In the Book Notes series, authors create and discuss a music playlist that relates in some way to their recently published book. Ben Shaberman's essay collection The Vegan Monologues is more than a book about not eating animals. Shaberman...
/CMA/ Nashville, TN -- By Randy RudderWith his youthful exuberance and passion for his industry and craft, it's hard to believe that Paul Williams isn't a newcomer to the songwriting world. He has been a pillar in that community for decades, stretching back to the hits he wrote for artists including the Carpenters ("Rainy Days and Mondays," "We've Only Just Begun"), Three Dog Night...
Thank goodness I have TFI Punday and you lot to take my mind off the useless staff at a certain popular warehouse of carphones. "Just leave us your number and we'll let you know" " I can't, YOU HAVE MY RUDDY PHONE." Sorry. At least #fishpop wasn't useless. Far from. You bloody well loved it! So let's have a little looksee at what the catch of the day was: Martine McGudgeon Sharkira...
The 40th anniversary of the start of The Carpenters' career has been marked by a publicity push, revining some ancient meoroies. Although their music is some distance from my usual fare, I could recognise the quaility of production, good choise of song, pop craftsmanship and, above all, Karen's warm and clear voice. However, there is a major challenge to fully enjoying the music now, as a result of...

The scoop on the streets is that PIM’s got it right and MAPE will be endorsing Margaret Anderson-Kelliher for Governor today at 11. So far there have been a few endorsements but many of them have been of the favorite son/daughter variety. The Nurses endorsed Paul Thissen (chair of Health Care and Human Services), the Carpenters endorsed [...]
