Dengue Fever executes at The Castro with expert precision

The Castro Theatre marquee

Who can really forget the classic Amazonian dinosaur adventure story that is The Lost World? The silent 1920s release paved the way for Hollywood hits like King Kong (a blatant rip off if you ask me, but when it's the same animator, you can't really expect much) with its nearly-defunct stop-motion techniques. You would think with the kind of clout this picture has behind it, The San Francisco International Film Festival would have a hard time finding a showstopper to fit the bill. Wrong.

Enter Los Angeles-based, Cambodian psychedelic-pop stars, Dengue Fever, who played the live score from beginning to end with expert precision. Barely taking even a 15-second break throughout the entire 90-100 minute film, singer, Ch'hom Nimhol's vibrato was in rare form, hitting every note with a strange, dream-like quality. Known for featuring snippets from every genre under the sun, Dengue Fever pulled out all the stops to deliver a score that emphasized full use of their ska and jazz influences. The crowd was clearly pleased with their brass transitions and smooth, flowing catchy beats.

Quite simply, I'm not sure if SFIFF could have picked a more adept band to match the unprecedented weight that comes with a timeless treasure like The Lost World.

Hi All: I just finished recording a new song using the miraculous GarageBand on my computer. The song's pretty good (if I do say so myself). The words came to me at a time when I was writing a book on global warming (we're all gonna DIE!) and I was fooling around with some open tunings and the slide bar on my guitar. You should be able to hear it here.

I saw that story! A kyrie and a credo just waiting for Daniel Barenboim to record on piano. Maybe Emanuel Ax or Murray Perahia, though.

Unknown Mozart score uncovered

Reuters News Agency

< dateline >Nantes, France< /dateline > — A French municipal library has discovered a musical score handwritten by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in its archives, the Nantes town hall said on Thursday.

The one-page work, donated to the town by a private collector at the end of the 19th century, was until recently thought to be a copy rather than an original.

The unpublished score, measuring 16 centimetres by 29 centimetres, is thought to have been written around 1787, according to an expert musicologist from the Mozarteum university in the composer's native city of Salzburg in Austria.

The score is undergoing a second round of expert investigations, Nantes authorities said.

“A Mozart autograph is hugely valuable. There are lots of them in the vaults of Swiss banks,” said Michel Noiray, head of the French centre for research on musical heritage.

Mozart was one of the most prolific classical composers. He died in 1791 at the age of 35, leaving over 600 known pieces of music

Canadian singer Sarah McLachlan separates from husband

Gary Graff, Reuters/Billboard

Published: Thursday, September 11, 2008

DETROIT — Canadian pop singer Sarah McLachlan is splitting from her husband of 11 years, and is sharing her grief with fans in two new songs.

"U Want Me 2" and "Don't Give Up on Us" both appear on her upcoming greatest hits album "Closer: The Best of Sarah McLachlan," which comes out October 7 via Arista Records in both a single-disc version and a two-CD deluxe package.

"I'm separating from my husband, so these are the songs about that," McLachlan, 40, told Billboard.com.

McLachlan and her husband Ashwin Sood, who plays drums in her band, reside in Vancouver. They have two daughters, six-year-old India Ann Sushil and Taja Summer, 14 months.

"I wasn't planning on saying anything," McLachlan added, "but it's gonna come out at some point. I haven't said anything about it because I've been terrified to, but I figure ... there's no good time to say it, so I just said it."

McLachlan called the situation "pretty gross" but did not elaborate on reasons for the separation or the couple's future plans.

Tough for anyone. Tougher still to be a public figure. And the little one is only 14 months old... sad sad sad.

For all of you who are, like we are, fans of classic '70s soul music, an R.I.P. that got lost in the shuffle recently. Spinners singer Pervis Jackson dies days after cancer diagnosis.

The Associated Press • August 18, 2008

DETROIT - Pervis Jackson, the man behind the deep, rolling bass voice in a string of 1970s R&B hits by The Spinners, has died after being diagnosed with brain and liver cancer. He was 70.

Jackson died about 2 a.m. Monday at Detroit Sinai-Grace Hospital, his wife Claudreen told The Associated Press.

Doctors found tumors late last month, but had been awaiting tests to determine if they were malignant. He was diagnosed with cancer two days ago, she said.

"I was watching him waste away the past month," Claudreen Jackson said. "He wasn't eating. He was losing weight, coughing. At the end of July, we took him to the doctor. His words were `I'll be all right. I'll be all right."'

The native of the New Orleans area was one of the original five members of the group which started out in the late 1950s singing doo-wop in Detroit. They worked under the Motown label in the 1960s but shot to stardom after moving on to Atlantic Records in the 1970s.

Jackson last performed July 19 in California with the remaining original members of the group, Bobbie Smith and Henry Fambrough, and two new members, his wife said.

With song's like "Mighty Love," "I'll Be Around," "One Of A Kind (Love Affair)" and "Then Came You," The Spinners were a constant on the R&B and pop charts during the 1970s.

The Spinners compiled 12 gold records, according to the group's official Web site. Jackson had been planning to perform with the group later this month in South Africa and in Wales in September, his wife said.

"I am extremely proud of the example he set in his music. The Spinners' music was clean," said Claudreen Jackson, 69. "What comforts me is he is one person who lived his life exactly the way he wanted to."

She met Pervis Jackson in 1964. They married in 1968.

He also is survived by four adult children.
