Last Friday marked the 30th anniversary of Pearl Jam’s Ten, causing many Generation X–ers to reflect on their lives and lament the cruel passage of time. Less remarked upon was the fact that that day was also the 25th anniversary of No Code. The 1996 LP was the band’s first release of the post-grunge era and it generated a fraction of the attention of Pearl Jam’s first three albums, but many hardcore fans consider it one of their best works.

Sitting somewhere between film and TV, Netflix’s Fear Street trilogy, based on the books by R.L. Stine, tells one interconnected story over three different eras, each leaning into a different subgenre of horror. While the first two mostly work as standalones, the connective tissue is what makes these movies a bit more special and interesting and lends them to repeat viewings.
In Fear Street Part 2: 1978, we learn more about the past – bits about the history of Sarah Fier and how she might have managed to curse Shadyside and similarly how she might be stopped – by reuniting her remains with her severed hand.
But there are also lots of moments in Fear Street ‘78 that reference and enhance Fear Street 1994.
“There’s a lot across the three movies where we tried to recreate moments,” trilogy director Leigh Janiak tells Den of Geek.
“Obviously, there are songs that we revisit.

It's ten-to-one and SNL has one sketch left in the tank. Here's a look at the weird and weirdly brilliant segments that made it onto TV.
Saturday Night Live has a pretty basic structure from show to show. You have the cold open, the opening credits, the host monologue, a few sketches, the musical guest, Weekend Update, some more sketches, maybe another musical performance mixed in there, and the ending credits. It’s worked for them for decades and will work for them for decades to come.
One of the more volatile parts of the show is the final sketch. Airing after the second musical performance and coming sometime in-between 12:50 to 12:55, you’re going to get one sketch that is going to be a crapshoot. Not only in whether it’s going to be funny, but whether it’s going to be coherent. It’s the scraps of the writers,...

Nicholas Sparks latest romantic flick The Best Of Me has finally proven that the same, formulaic love story doesn’t always end up successful.
The Best Of Me tells the story of Dawson and Amanda, two high school sweethearts that run back into each other after returning to their hometown after 21 years for a funeral. Soon, their romance reignites, and the two seem to finally be back on track. The only problem is that the trouble that caused their initial split begins to loom. Can their love survive another trip down memory lane?
If you’ve ever seen a Nicholas Spark film you already know the answer to the above question.
Let me start off by saying that I do not hate the work of Nicholas Sparks. I enjoyed The Notebook. I might not have gone gaga over it like the rest of the world, but I really enjoyed it.

Justified Season 5 Episode 3: Good Intentions
Having too much information makes it easy to think you have an episode figured out, and that’s exactly what the writers wanted you to believe in “Good Intentions.” So when the Us Marshals arrested Charles Monore’s (Xander Berkeley) for racketeering with the Tonins in last week’s episode, “The Kids Aren’t All Right,” Raylan (Timothy Olyphant) wasted no time using all of his possessions including his car and house like Spanish Fly to woo Allison (Amy Smart). We learned that Raylan’s new squeeze likes to smoke weed and planted crystal meth on her ex-husband, who came after her to get revenge. But guess who Raylan decided to side with? Even Rachel (Erica Tazel) thought this was another case of a Bonnie and Clyde act working Raylan and exploiting his weakness to score and protect a woman. Could anyone blame her?...

Supernatural let its geek flag fly very high last Wednesday, as we were introduced to an X-Men like school for potential hunters.
In this edition of the TV Fanatic Round Table, staff members Sean McKenna and Carissa Pavlica are joined by Alice Jester from The Winchester Family Business to breakdown "Freaks and Geeks."
----------------------------------------
What was your favorite quote or scene from the episode?
Carissa: I loved Sam and Dean's exchange at the beginning when they both hemmed and hawed about who felt okay and alright and making sure they were good to go a huntin'. And Dean thought they needed herbal tea and some Cowboy Junkies.
Alice: Hmm, this one was quite underwhelming all around. All I got is Dean offering advice to the young hunter Aiden about pursuing Krissy. He thought Dean would say he’ll kill him if he hurts her, but no, Dean was warning that she’ll kill him.

Tom Wilson answers his phone while trudging through a bitterly cold Hamilton, Ont. morning on the way to see his grandson. I have to do a double-take. Grandson? Is it possible that Wilson, the hulking figurehead of Hamilton's rough-edged, blue-collar rock scene for the past 30 years, is now a doting granddad?
I then remind myself that there have been many misconceptions about Wilson since he rose to prominence in the 1990s fronting Junkhouse a band whose shadow has perpetually lengthened since their break-up in 1998. Back then, Wilson took the band around the globe like a motorcycle gang leader, stalking stages like a buffalo, and leaving crowds of flannel-clad indie kids cowering in their wake.
But the reality is that Tom Wilson is a consummate, sensitive artist. His paintings have adorned nearly every album he's put out since the end of Junkhouse, whether with Blackie & The Rodeo Kings — his highly successful...

The key to any voyage into the twangy depths of this weekend's Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival is planning.
San Francisco's annual free celebration of bluegrass (and also not bluegrass) in Golden Gate Park, now in its 12th consecutive year, has gotten so popular that shuttling between stages to see all of your favorite bands can prove virtually impossible. Instead, the best idea is often just to get there early, pick a spot near the stage you're most interested in and stay there for the long haul.
(Scroll Down For Playlist And Lineup)
While the lineup was announced months ago, the actual full schedule, complete with set times, was only released recently. Essential planning's gotta all be done Right This Very Second.
Our top recommendations are Ben Kweller, Buddy Miller, Robert Earl Keen, The Dirty Three, the Heartless Bastards, Son Volt and Les Claypool's Duo De Twang. If you're curious as to why this is exciting,...

Last year at the U.S. edition of All Tomorrow's Parties, Hope Sandoval sent me straight off to Dreamland, in many good ways. The light-dappled eddies of her butter-smooth voice shot me straight back to 1994, to Mazzy Star's "Fade Into You," just a couple years before the Cowboy Junkies charmed the world with the same sound on their cover of the Velvets' "Sweet Jane." It was a cool period where ladies sounded like women, somewhat of a predecessor to artists like Neko Case, Beach House and Liz Phair, at least to these ears. Mazzy Star -- the winning combination of Sandoval...

Jolie Hollands “Pint of Blood” album is due to be released June 28, 2011. The folk singers unbridled sounds ring home bits of Cowboy junkies, sliced with Bob Dylan vibes. Her engaging voice draws you closer as the music consumes your audio palate. The album features songs like “All Those Girls”, “Remember” and smash “Gold & Yellow”. The 10 song album was recorded with co producer Shahzad Ismaily in her home. It does not seem that long ago since the folk band “The Be Good Tanyas” have been on a hiatus. But, ever since the break Jolie has been breaking out on her own. Things are looking really sharp for the...

The best of your comments on the latest films and music
For the benefit of those who were slightly baffled by the whole thing, we'll begin with a quick summary of the comments beneath last week's Beady Eye interview. (Some paraphrasing has been employed.) Liam Gallagher is a cock. Liam Gallagher is not a cock. Oasis were terrible. Oasis were the greatest British band in decades. Oasis ripped off the Beatles. Liam Gallagher thinks he's John Lennon. Liam Gallagher is no John Lennon. The Beatles ripped off loads of people. What do we really mean by the concept of heredity? Radiohead are boring. Radiohead are miles better than Oasis or Beady Eye. People who like Oasis and Beady Eye are stupid. People who don't like Oasis and Beady Eye are posh and patronising.

This week is really dragging for me for reasons I'm not entirely sure about. Well, I know part of the reason is that I'm waiting on a delivery that should be happening today that you'll all be sure to hear about if I do get it on time. Other than that, I suppose it's just one of those weeks where you get to the end of Tuesday and you're like "Wait, it was Tuesday?!? Only?!? I still have three more days to go?" because that's what I did yesterday. So that's what's on my mind, and here's your Wednesday night TV:

One particular track on the soundtrack to Due Date, the new road trip comedy with Robert Downey, Jr. and Zach Galifianakis, exerted a curious fascination for me – This is Why I’m Hot, by the modest Mims. Mind, it wasn’t so much the song itself as one specific lyric, which (if I heard it correctly) sounded very much like: “I’m representing York”. Now, if that is indeed the correct interpretation, then I can only wholeheartedly applaud the sentiment. It’s about time the northern cities of the United Kingdom were celebrated in contemporary song. One minor quibble would be Mims’ neglect to devote a verse to the prodigious merits of the Jorvik Viking Centre, but you can’t have everything, can you?

I love a good cover song. Of course, most of them suffer by comparison, but occasionally there is a song that manages to become its own original creation. Today's nominee to the history of Scenes (Songs) We Love is one of those songs: the Cowboy Junkies take on Sweet Jane from 'Natural Born Killers'. For some, the thought that anything could come close to Lou Reed's original creation is pure heresy, but I'm a sucker for a song that tries to make something their own, and I think the Junkies' manage to pull it off.
Oliver Stone's film was the story of a pair of serial killers (Woody Harrelson and Juliette Lewis) hacking their away across America while becoming media darlings, and the film included some truly "out there" performances from Robert Downey Jr. as a sleazy media type, Tommy Lee Jones,...

An atmospheric tribute to an Athens landmark Sand & Lines is a haunted album. It was recorded in Athens’ famed Georgia Theatre—and nudged into existence by Theater owner Wilmot “Wil” Greene, who volunteered the venue as studio space—a little more than a year before the venerable music house went up in flames in June 2009. Using Cowboy Junkies’ legendary Trinity Session as inspiration, the local dream-pop group set up camp around two microphones for four days, holding themselves to a live blueprint with no overdubs or extraneous studio effects. The result is somber, pastoral and startlingly visceral, capturing the careful...

TargetCancer – a non-profit organization devoted to helping fund research into rare and lesser known cancers – has launched a new download series called ‘The Right Track: Tunes To TargetCancer.’
The series features exclusive downloads of new and rare music from Weezer, Ween, The Donnas, Cowboy Junkies, Dean & Britta, Buffalo Tom, Linda Thompson, Drug Rug and others, with more artists to be added in the coming months. In addition to these exclusive pay-what-you-wish downloads ($.99 minimum), The Right Track will sponsor a series of concerts and events, with 100% of proceeds from all its initiatives going directly to research funding.
“We jumped at the chance to give an exclusive track for TargetCancer Charity,” said Weezer. “We feel this is an extremely worthy and urgent cause and are all too happy to help out.”

Tracks for The Right Track: Tunes to TargetCancer campaign are sold by pay-what-you-want ($.99 minimum) via righttracktunes.org. Supporters can listen to samples of each song before purchasing. The Weezer track sounds far, far away from the group's last "Raditude," but that doesn't mean it's not a nice change of pace. We're pleased to see Buffalo Tom still around and the Ween groove delivers. Organizers are also promising live concert events...

It's a little surprising that until now, no one has put together the definitive tribute album to folk's fertile days in New York's Greenwich Village. 429 Records' new collection titled The Village--a Celebration Of The Music Of Greenwich Village spotlights the historical significance of the neighborhood's folk music scene with passionate contributions by thirteen artists including Rickie Lee Jones, Los Lobos, Bruce Hornsby, Amos Lee, Shelby Lynne, Cowboy Junkies, John Oates, Lucinda Williams, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Rachael Yamagata, and others. In her glowing liner notes, Suze Rotolo (featured on The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan album cover) accurately states, "The songs on The Village aren't confined to any particular era any more than the musicians performing them are...every tune is something transformed from something I knew into something I didn't." The music of Tim Buckley, Judy Collins, Joan Baez, Fred Neil, John...

Adam Lambert is not shy. The 28-year-old Los Angeles musical-theater veteran has made plenty of brash choices so far this year on "American Idol," which is one of the reasons he's in the top three and likely headed to the finals next week. But his boldest song choice on Tuesday night's performance show wasn't his own; it was Simon Cowell's. The judge, not known for showing a soft, emotional side, appeared to give Lambert a big, fat home run right down the middle by choosing U2's "One" for the singer. But given the song's iconic status as one of the group's biggest, most beloved hits — which Cowell said Bono personally gave him approval to use on...
