Now that I've heard the Australian band Bombay Royale, it seems so obvious. Why wouldn't it? Heaps of old Bollywood recordings seem to be floating to the surface of the global-music ocean (think Rahman">A.R. Rahman collections, or Bollywood Bloodbath ). And everyone from Singapore's Dick Lee to Benin's Angelique Kidjo has jumped on the Bollywood bandwagon at some point. So why not a new band playing this old music? Bombay Royale is for lovers of Bollywood films and the old scratchy recordings by Mohd. and Lata and Asha and the like. Only without the scratchy ...

We were both grumpy today. And how. The seethe was palpable in the air, and we did our best to harness it for good radio comedy. Up on review this week were the "Stop calling me, Harry Potter" Dan Radcliffe-helmed Woman in Black by Hammer Horror(!) and the young super hero archetypal angstgasm chronicle Chronicle , which started strong and fizzled in the second half due to the prescribed arc the writers were determined the film follow. Shame, but it was a good attempt at tapping into the comic book mythologies we're already so used to. As for Woman in ...

To punctuate how little the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences cares about music this year, Deadline reports the Oscars will not allow the two nominees for Best Original Song — Bret McKenzie for The Muppets ' "Man or Muppet" and Sergio Mendes, Carlinhos Brown, and Siedah Garrett for Rio 's "Real in Rio" — to perform at the February 26 ceremony, as has been the the custom since as far back as 1946. The decision follows the Academy's snub-tastic nomination of the bare minimum in the category (not to mention only songs from family-friendly, animated flicks), despite there being a ...
