| | | Dozens Attend Memorial Service For James Dean | | Posted Friday, October 06, 2006 7:03:35 AM by Blog57 Team | | FAIRMOUNT, Ind. (AP) - About 45 people from as far away as Wisconsin and Arkansas attended a church service in James Dean's hometown of Fairmount to mark the 51st anniversary of the death of the 1950s Hollywood icon. The Grant County native died in a car crash in California on September 30th, 1955. The service was held yesterday at Back Creek Friends Church. Pam Crawford of Little Rock, Arkansas, says she and all fans all share what she calls a magical moment when they each discovered James Dean. Crawford, who's president of a Dean fan club, says he's with her wherever she goes. (Copyright 2006 by The Associated Press. All Rights Reserved.) .... | |

| | | I'd happily lynch Lynch ... | | Posted Monday, September 11, 2006 5:07:51 PM by Blog57 Team | | Yet again, a major European film festival has managed to go its entire length without a laugh. Comedy is not considered a serious business when it comes to awards but, my goodness, how I longed for a smile after 10 days in Venice. Instead, we got David Lynch's Inland Empire, the most miserable three hours I've ever spent in the cinema. Before its screening, hacks on the Lido had jokingly dubbed it 'Inland Revenue' and it quickly became evident that a visit from the taxman would be more enjoyable. I hated all 172 minutes of this murky, digital dirge about Laura Dern starring in a cursed movie directed by Jeremy Irons and going on an agonising mental journey to ... I know not where. .... | |

| | | Pop CDs of the week: Tom Petty, James Dean Bradfield, Pharrell and ... | | Posted Saturday, August 19, 2006 1:01:30 AM by Blog57 Team | | We all know about rock's heavyweights - Dylan, the Stones, Springsteen and the rest. But what about that champ of the light-middleweight division, Tom Petty? In America, he's a national treasure: a 16-times Grammy winner whose every album is a guaranteed platinum seller. In Britain, by contrast, commercial success has long since passed him by, while critics tend to sit on their hands when Petty's name comes up. Perhaps his signature sound - a mid-tempo, guitar-laden blend of country-rock, Dylan-esque vocals and car radio-friendly tunes - is too accurate a reflection of the tastes of middle-aged middle America. Maybe it's just too easy on the ear. Whatever, Petty's third solo album - a category hard to distinguish, frankly, from the ones he puts out with the Heartbreakers - won't alter any of the above.... | |

| | | England James pens Pompey deal | | Posted Monday, August 14, 2006 3:03:30 AM by Blog57 Team | | Goalkeeper David James completed his 1.2-million-pound move from Manchester City to Portsmouth on Friday just hours after England coach Steve McClaren called time on his international career. James, who has penned a two-year deal, joins fellow England exile Sol Campbell as part of Harry Redknapp's new-look Fratton Park set-up. "I still think 'Jamo' is the best goalkeeper in the country," said Redknapp. "We are aiming to go places and these signings are a statement of intent by the club." James told City manager Stuart Pearce during the club's recent tour of the Far East that he wanted to leave Manchester for the south of England where his girlfriend and children live. Pearce accepted the situation and agreed Pompey's offer before lining up Swedish keeper Andreas Isaksson from French club Rennes as a likely replacement.... | |

| | | James Dean Bradfield - The Great Western (Columbia) | | Posted Friday, July 28, 2006 9:01:00 AM by Blog57 Team | | It seems somewhat appropriate that James Dean Bradfield's debut solo album should follow so quickly on the heels of Thom Yorke's The Eraser. Both men's bands emerged at around the same time during the early '90s, earned an almost obsessive following and evolved musically throughout the decade. How Radiohead and Manic Street Preachers differed though was in their style of evolution. Whereas Radiohead were initially dismissed and ignored as a typically grey indie band, the Manics were press darlings right from the off. Thanks to their glamourous, political image (a novelty itself in the days of shoegazing) and some truly incendiary tracks such as Motown Junk or Repeat, the Welsh band were never short of column inches. With the disappearance of founder member Richey Edwards though, the Manics as we were to know them ceased to exist and turned into a pretty bog-standard rock group.... | |

| | | Promotion bid goes to Pott | | Posted Thursday, July 06, 2006 1:03:54 PM by Blog57 Team | | WINSFORD'S promotion bandwagon came off the rails ever so slightly when an under-strength team faced rivals Pott Shrigley on Saturday. The home side's opening batsmen were troubled greatly by both Mark Dean and Mike Clarke yet somehow managed to get to 41 before the first wicket fell to Clarke. With the effect of the new ball wearing off the batsmen started to take control, despite a fine spell of bowling from Chris Brandon who took 3-29 runs off eight overs. Some lusty blows towards the end brought the home side's total to 218-6. To keep their run of wins going Winsford needed a good start, however unlike the home side, when their batsmen played a false stroke a wicket fell and Winsford soon found themselves in deep trouble at 27-4. Acting skipper Jonathan Phillips was still there and slowly he started the fightback making 33 before he fell and Winsford were staring defeat in the eyes at 65-6.... | |
