Astor Piazzolla was probably the most brilliant and most influential composer of the last century.

A good introduction to his music is this 2-cd release.

If you liked Kate Beckinsale in Underworld, she showed a lot more flesh in the following:

"Two young women find themselves struggling to survive in Paris, street-wise Nathalie, a stripper, and naïve Sandrine, a barmaid. Together, they discover that sex can be used to their advantage, and pleasure. Both find positions in the office of a large bank, where bored, under-stimulated, prey are easy pickings. After making their way though several layers of executives at the bank, with destructive, and lucrative, results, they approach Christophe, scion to the bank director. What they don't know is that Christophe is a manipulative voyeur, whose last two lovers set themselves on fire when he rejected them. A connoisseur of high-class orgies, Christophe is only interested in new talent to satisfy the appetites of all whom he controls. In Christophe, the girls have found an opponent who knows all their wiles, and will challenge their simple under-class friendship with levels of jealousy and ecstasy that they have never experienced before. Will they survive?"

Antonio Vivaldi: Concerto No. 3 in F, The Four Seasons, RV 293, Op. 8 "Autumn"; Allegro; Adagio; Allegro.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: Violin Concerto No. 4 in D, K. 218; Allegro; Adante cantabile; Rondeau(Andante grazioso--Allegro ma non troppo).

Jules Massenet: Meditation from Thais.

Pablo de Sarasate: Zigeunerweisen, Op. 20.

How about's Chloe Sevigny's actual BJ scene in a movie that was shown in Cannes a few years ago? I think she was with Vincent Gallo who was also the movie's director. Sevigny performed actual fellation on Gallo. Peeps, CIM/swallow pa!

You're talking about "The Brown Bunny" Yes, Vincent Gallo and Chloe Sevigny were a couple at that time.

Anna Biella (Bielska) in several Roy Stuart films (Giulia, Glimpse 3 & Glimpse 4).

Born the sons of a chieftain of an isolated jungle tribe (Tabajaras Indians) in Ceara, Brazil, Musiperi and Herundy, taught themselves how to play guitar. They later toured South America and Mexico, having taken the stage names of "Natalicio and Antenor Lima," and thereafter proceeded to perform all over Europe.

Los Indios Tabajaras rose to fame in the 1960's, initially, as folk musicians, then as classical guitarists and later as pop instrumentalists.

My funeral march should be the Ode to Joy, Beethoven's 9th Symphony.

Coming attraction:

Ed Harris as Ludwig van Beethoven and Diane Kruger as Anna Holtz. This is a fictionalized account of the last years of Beethoven's life, when he produced his most spiritually uplifting music, including your favorite - Ode to Joy. Sir Anthony Hopkins gave the original impetus for the script, but eventually decided not to do the movie.

13. Sinfonia Concertante In A Major For Violin, Violoncello And Orchestra: II. Rondeau: Allegro Assai - Pinchas Zukerman

The Bach sonatas were originally composed for viola da gamba and were transcribed for cello. Harpsichord accompaniment was provided by Kenneth Cooper.

The Sinfonia Concertante is by Bach's youngest son, Johann Christian Bach. Accompanying Yo-Yo Ma are Pinchas Zukerman on violin and the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra.

Yo-Yo Ma - Inspired by Bach Vol. 3, Struggle for Hope / Six Gestures (Cello Suites 5 & 6) (1998)

"Struggle for Hope" (55 min.) features Bach's Suite No. 5 for Unaccompanied Cello. Master Kabuki actor Tamasaburo Bando sets out on a journey to discover, through traditional Japanese dance, the universality and emotion of Bach's Fifth Suite. The result is this revelatory, cross-cultural and trans-oceanic collaboration with Yo-Yo Ma, sensitively documented by filmmaker Niv Fichman. "Six Gestures" (53 min.) features Bach's Suite No. 6 for Unaccompanied Cello. Bach and ice dance? Yo-Yo Ma believes that world champion ice dancers Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean have done for their sport what Bach did for the cello--that is, to dramatically redefine the artistic possibilities and to shatter all preconceptions. This mesmerizing film by Patricia Rozema (Mansfield Park) explores the outcome of this unlikely collaboration, with Bach himself as the dramatic counterpoint.

Yo-Yo Ma - Inspired by Bach Vol. 2, Falling Down Stairs / Sarabande (Cello Suites 3 & 4) (1998)

"Falling Down Stairs" (55 min.) features Bach's Suite No. 3 for Unaccompanied Cello. Although he knew the music well, Mark Morris had never thought to choreograph a dance based on Bach's "Third Suite." He felt the music was complete in itself. But through a close collaboration with Yo-Yo Ma, an astonishing dance emerges, a true three-way collaboration between musician, dancers and filmmaker Barbara Willis Sweete. "Sarabande" (56 min.) features Bach's Suite No. 4 for Unaccompanied Cello. A great musician instinctively builds a complex and intimate relationship with his listeners. This dramatic film from director Atom Egoyan (The Sweet Hereafter) explores a number of such relationships, revealing the generosity of spirit and love that flow from Yo-Yo Ma's performance.

Yo-Yo Ma - Inspired by Bach Vol. 1, The Music Garden / The Sound of the Carceri (Cello Suites 1 & 2) (1998)

"The Music Garden" (60 min.) features Bach's Suite No. 1 for Unaccompanied Cello. What if we created a garden inspired by Bach? In their quest for the answer, Yo-Yo Ma and garden designer Julie Moir Messervy journey from Boston to Toronto, across bureaucratic miles of frustration and through seasons of changing hope. Their remarkable tale is movingly documented by filmmaker Kevin McMahon. "The Sound of the Carceri" (55 min.) features Bach's Suite No. 2 for Unaccompanied Cello. Imagine Giovanni Piranesi's dazzling "carceri" (prison) etchings, the unrealized dreams of this 18th-century Italian master architect, brought to life in a computer-rendered 3-D "virtual" collaboration. In this cutting-edge film by Francois Girard, Yo-Yo Ma explores Bach's mysterious Second Suite, creating with his music a sound to match the invented spaces of our imagination.

"On one unforgettable night prior to the 1986 elections, Barbra Streisand welcomed 500 guests to her Malibu home for her first full-length concert in 20 years. Planned as a fundraiser for the Democratic candidates, the concert was subsequently broadcast on HBO to enormous acclaim."

"Since then, One Voice has raised more than $7 million in profits that have been channeled through the Streisand Foundation to charities committed to anti-nuclear activities, human rights, civil liberties, and the preservation of our environment."

"This 20th Anniversary DVD showcases Barbra Streisand performing many of her best-loved songs and sharing her timeless message of hope and inspiration in a uniquely intimate setting."

I remember once seeing a CD with the title Pachelbel's Greatest Hit and laughed my head off, seeing as it was an omnibus recording by various artists of Pachelbel's Canon in D Major, eight different versions of the same tune (original German title: Kanon und Gigue in D-Dur für drei Violinen und Basso Continuo) composed in or around 1680 (in the Baroque period) by Johann Pachelbel. For a full discussion on the ubiquity of this piece in modern culture follow this link: Canon in D - Wikipedia

You can relive those memories with this DVD:

And Janis Ian of At Seventeen and Fly Too High fame?

Get Jodie Brooke Wilson's Halfway To Paradise CD and you'll find her covers of "At Seventeen" plus Beverly Craven's "Promise Me." Jodie was a recent visitor to the Philippines to promote her album.

Carly Simon has reincarnated as a very competent singer of torch and standard songs, witness the following.

Younger fans of this type of music may want to check out G4. They were the runner-up in the Brit reality show X-Factor, where one of the judges was, who else, Simon Cowell (before he moved on to American Idol). This is where Simon got the idea to promote his new baby, Il Divo.
