Released in the early '60s, here's the first part of Darin's career told by the vocalist himself in a 12-song greatest-hits collection that really works. The narration inserts still function well after all these years, making you realize that this was originally a vinyl album, as Darin negotiates from rock & roller to finger-snapping lounge lizard. Oddly enough, there's a production error at the end that snips off the last tune, "Lazy River," marring an otherwise interesting reissue.
I caught about 45 minutes of "Beyond The Sea" on TV, the film wherein Kevin Spacey gives new meaning to the term "triple threat": as an actor, writer, and director, he threatens to lower the already-perilously low bar for music-related biopics. There truly isn't a less-than-ludicrous moment in the section of the movie I was able to sit through, culminating when he throws a tantrum when he's "ro...

I suppose with a title like Mack The Knife, I should have known this wasn't your average, happy go lucky song. While whipping up breakfast, and listening to the Oldies station on the A.M.

Before we hooked up the gizmo that lets you play your iPod in the car ('92 model, cassette deck, no CD player), we used to listen to oldies on CBS-FM (101.1) till we lost the signal, then to a cassette or two, and then, when we got to the Hartford area, I'd slide the dial up to 102.9, WDRC ("dreck," haha), with a similar oldies format. (There's something comforting about that.) I liked CBS (thi...

I was spinning the dial last night and came across "Beyond the Sea" on IFC - I hadn't seen it before. I couldn't take my eyes off of it...it was like seeing a dead animal on the side of the road: it's pretty gross and you don't want to stare at it but you can't look away either.How in world did this movie get made?
