Aunt Beru Sings! How Bonnie Piesse endured to launch her debut album Bittersweet EP

This is a story of the release of Bonnie Piesse’s Bittersweet EP, her debut album and a good one at that. But you can’t talk about the music without talking about Bonnie’s perseverance to get the Bittersweet EP made.

The story of this EP is a phoenix rising from the ashes, only this time the phoenix is a talented singer/songwriter, who also happens to be the actress who played young Aunt Beru in the Star Wars Prequels.

Top Ten Must Own Movie Soundtracks

Movies are for entertainment. Music is for entertainment. Even with today’s portable technology, you will get the most out of a movie, by sitting down and watching it. By that same standard, today’s technology allows us to take our music with us everywhere we go.

Movie soundtracks, allow us to listen to great playlists created by movie directors that we can take with us and listen to. They represent the original mixed tapes.

Ralph Bakshi: A Rotospective

Rotospective: A Journey through American Pop, Lessons in History, Family and American music

American Pop is an amazing journey through the family tree of four generations of a Russian Jewish immigrant family of musicians and songwriters as told through the american music scene. Family matters, heirlooms, relationships and music. In my opinion, this is the best movie following a family tree throughout generations that has ever been attempted. That is follows popular American music is an added bonus, but at it’s heart this film is about family.

Ralph Bakshi: A Rotospective

Rotospective: Hey Good Lookin’ Teaches Us to Be Who We Are

Now, Hey Good Lookin’ just seems like piece out of time. Although the most recent Indiana Jones featured greasers this is at the other end of the spectrum. This movie is full of racial tension and sexual frustration. It’s a love story, an us vs. them story, and above all it’s a coming of age story about finding your way.
