Trouble With The Curve

Solid grumpy old baseball scout turn from Clint that pitches itself as the anti-Moneyball.

Promo Promo: Pearl Jam

Via @coslive. "It’s easy to picture Friday Night Lights hero Tim Riggins cruising around Dillon, TX with this one blaring from his truck."

Another single of the forthcoming Pearl Jam album Lightning Bolt. They're getting more and more like the 90s band people think they are.

The Searchers

Stagey, studio John Wayne western that falls short of its ominous classic reputation.

Halliwell says: Desultory, easy-going, good-looking western in typical Ford style; a bit more solemn than usual.**

Trailer Park: Sample This

Jam on it! J-J-Jam on it! Documentary looking at the influence of the Incredible Bongo Band's classic version of Apache on hip hop.

SAMPLE THIS is the true story of how unknown music producer Michael Viner brought together the greatest studio musicians of the 1970's to create an album that ultimately went nowhere…until the summer of 1973, when DJ Herc took the percussion breaks from that obscure album and extended them by playing them back to back. His beats became an anthem on the streets of the Bronx and ultimately the genre of Hip Hop, becoming one of the most sampled tracks in history and used by artists from Will Smith and Missy Elliott to Amy Winehouse and Jay-Z.
