RIP Tim Curry

Tim Curry aka Dr Frank-N-furter, on stage since 1973 !

Curry was 80, he had a stroke in 2012 and sice then did mostly voiceover work.

Quintessential as Dr. Frank-N-Furter the Transexual Vampyre from Transylvania in the cult movie that invented the Midnight Movie Madness, The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975), also featuring Meat Loaf. 

also:

The Dark Lord in Ridley Scott's superb Legend (1985), under heavy prosthetics make-up (over 6 hours if work).

Long John Silver in The Muppet Trasure Island

Wadsworth in Clue )1985)

The clown from It (1990), the original Pennywise

Dr Petrov in The Hunt for the Red October opposite Sir Sean Connery...

And the infamous Romanian con Herkemer Homolka, 'at last freed from Ceausescu's chains' from the very bad guilty pleasure movie Congo (1995, Frank Marshall).  I guess the neme came from Oskar Homolka ?

"While filming Congo, I sat on top of a Volcano talking to Tim Curry..." - Bruce Campbell said about sitting on top of a volcano talking with Tim Curry.

Curry earned three Tony nominations and a Daytime Emmy and released three musical albums in his career.

RIP Dolly Parton

 The great and unique Dolly Parton is gone...The 'Queen of Country" was 80 ! 

She did 9 to 5 and beyond....

Her last album was also her first Rock album, at 77 in 2023. entitled of course, Rockstar, with many famed collaborators and evergreen Rock songs . It made my Top Albums of 2023 list.

RockStar. as a true one she was...

All album listening party here.

found out this:

and now this:

She had a huge hit with Kenny Rogers in 1982, composed by the Bee Gees, called Islands on the Stream. 

On Rockstar there is the Bygones song, sung together with Rob Halford from Judas Priest.

RIP Nick Glennie-Smith

 RIP Nick Glennie-Smith 

The Rock with Hnas Zimmer & Harry Gregson-Williams

point of no return -American Nikita 

etc....

RIP Frank Beard

Frank Beard, the ZZ Top drummer for 57 years (!) has died at 77. The Texas power-blues band was formed in 1969 and stayed together until Bass player Dusty Hill died in 2021. It's still the longest running band in history with the original line-up (51 years!!!). 

Then Billy Gibbons and Beard continued with a new bass player. 

Frank Beard was the only ZZ Top member to not have a beard, well he wore one on his name... RIP...

more here.

                                                                   I Thank You...

------------------------------------------------

Oh, What a day ! What a Lovely day :)

Who ever expected (and btw needed. another RS record?) after the last one (Hackney Dimonds, 2023) took 18 years to happen?

and it seems it's not only here, but it's great. Did I say Great ? :)

I love the songs that did not get video promotion /airplay:

Mr. Charm, Some of Us (Keef), Covered in You, and imo the hit of the album, Never Wanna Lose you.

 35 year old producer Andrew Watt (Hackney Diamonds) returned for the RS's 25th studio album. 

14 new and 12 original songs, a grotesque (most would say ugly, but catchy) cover -a composite of the three RSurvivor's faces -Ronnie (79), Keith Richards (82), and Mick Jagger (who will be 83 on July 26th).  and a weird and abstract title, Foreign Tongues !

the band is completed by the regular collaborators, Steve Jordan (69) on the drums -he keeps a great Charlie Watts time, and  most reliable Darryl Jones (64) on bass -Jones played with the Stones since 1996!

The record (total running time 62 mins.)

Rough And Twisted - “All I drank was Muddy Waters”

Originally released on a limited-run vinyl under the alias "The Cockroaches". The band then made the track the opening song—and the lead visualizer video, now all the songs who don't have a video have an official visualiser

BLÜESFERATÜ: UN CINE-CONCERT EVENIMENT, O ANIMAȚIE NOUĂ ȘI UN VIN DE COLECȚIE

Pe 27 iunie 2026, Blüesferatü – Eine Symphonie des Blues revine la Castelul Bran pentru cea de-a treia ediție consecutivă prezentată în grădina castelului. Ediția din acest an aduce însă mai mult decât o nouă reprezentație live a cine-concertului inspirat de Nosferatu (1922): o animație nouă realizată de Costin Chioreanu și Olivia Chioreanu, lansarea ediției de colecție a vinului Blüesferatü Red Blend creată împreună cu Stoker Wines și noi colaborări culturale care continuă să extindă universul proiectului.

Nosferatu – Eine Symphonie des Grauens, de F. W. Murnau (1922), este unul dintre cele mai importante filme mute din istoria cinematografiei. Coloana sonoră originală s-a pierdut, iar de-a lungul timpului au fost create nenumărate partituri și reinterpretări muzicale, transformând filmul într-un reper al cine-concertelor și al festivalurilor de film din întreaga lume.

Dar niciodată nu s-a cântat blues pe el.

Un blues mai psihedelic, dar ce blues: Blüesferatü!

Muzica originală este compusă și interpretată live de muzicienii brașoveni Robert Watzatka „Watzzy” și Ionuț Constantin „Yokko”, alături de Claudiu Rusu „Kani” (tobe), Ilyes Botond „Boti” (chitară), Mihai Nedea (keyboards) și Ovidiu Modigă (bas).

Proiectul a fost prezentat în premieră mondială pe 28 septembrie 2023 la Brașov, în cadrul Transilvania Blues Festival, după două reprezentații speciale organizate la Banca de Cultură Apollonia și Hub 2068. De atunci, Blüesferatü a continuat să evolueze prin improvizație, reinterpretare artistică și noi direcții creative, fiind prezentat în contexte culturale precum TIFF Timișoara, Buzz IFF și Castelul Bran.

Ca și în 2024 și 2025, și în acest an filmul va fi proiectat pe un ecran amplasat în curtea Castelului Bran. Muzicienii vor interpreta live coloana sonoră pe întreaga durată a filmului – 95 de minute.

Ediția din 2026 marchează și extinderea universului Blüesferatü dincolo de cine-concert.

În deschiderea evenimentului va avea loc o proiecție specială a animației Blüesferatü: The Animation, realizată de artiștii vizuali Costin Chioreanu și Olivia Chioreanu (Twilight13Media). Lansată recent online, animația va putea fi urmărită în prezența realizatorilor pe ecranul amplasat în curtea Castelului Bran, marcând debutul unei noi dimensiuni vizuale în universul Blüesferatü.

Tot cu această ocazie, va fi lansată împreună cu Stoker Wines ediția de colecție Blüesferatü Red Blend – Collector's Edition, inspirată de imaginarul proiectului. Fiecare spectator care achiziționează bilet la cine-concert va primi o sticlă din această ediție specială de colecție* (*în limita stocului disponibil).

Totodată, ediția din acest an beneficiază de sprijinul Centrului Cultural German Brașov și al Institutului Goethe, parteneri culturali ai proiectului, într-o colaborare care evidențiază dialogul dintre expresionismul german și reinterpretarea contemporană propusă de Blüesferatü.

Un film cult.

O coloană sonoră blues interpretată live.

O animație nouă.

Un vin de colecție.

Masters of the Universe (2026)

 'Here we are ...with the Princes, ups, with the Masters of the Universe...'

Unexpected or more so after abysymal BO performace and Reviews. Definetly not a film for 2026. A combo of Flash Gordon and Guardians of the Galaxy (vol. 1), overlong (2h20 !!!; really?), some good humor and  sexual innueundos in a PG fare, a dumbo Skeletor (unrecognizable Jared Lato with weird accent and Dr. Evil laughter does his bet job in many years here). 

Camila Mendes as Teela is hot, Idris Elba supports bravely, Roboto is voiced by Kristen Wiig, James Purefoy is the King Randor, Morena Maccarin (the) sorceress in white and the lead Adam/He-Man- Nicholas Galitzine is funny and charismatic, also Alison Brie is fun as witchy Evil-Lyn.

Coming from a line of legendary toys (that I was never fammilar with), cartoons and comics which I never saw my only reference was the 1987 very B and B budget cult film of the same name and franchise (it was a Golan-Globus Cannon production).  More so than then, this film doesn't take itself seriosusly for an even odd moment, it knows it's silly and plays it straight on. 

Added value: the score is Fabulous, Power Rock pounding heroic symphonica metallic, another great one from Daniel Pemberton, one chord to rule'm all, Queen style, even features a Highlander song and puns, plus a clone Queen song by The Darkness and surely the sound was familliar because yes, the guitarist it's Brian May !!! That in itself raises the bar (and the volume) one notch (and a star of my review here). A Dolph Lundgren cameo (hero of the 1987 version) makes it even more tongue in cheeck. For the grown-up children ;)

3 stars out of 5, 6 out of 10 !!!

Blüesferatü: The Animation

Premieres very soon. 

World Premiere aka our Disclosure Day ;) !

Spellbinding animation by artist Costin Chioreanu.

Premieres Jun 12, 2026 #Bluesferatu #Nosferatu #CostinChioreanu


The world of Blüesferatü – Eine Symphonie des Blues expands into animation through a special collaboration with acclaimed visual artists Costin Chioreanu & Olivia Chioreanu. ‪@twilight13media‬ This short animated piece explores the imagery and atmosphere of Blüesferatü — a unique live cine-concert project that reimagines F.W. Murnau's silent-film masterpiece Nosferatu (1922) through an original soundtrack of psychedelic blues performed live by musicians from Brașov, Romania. A glimpse into the dark, psychedelic universe of a project that continues to transform from one edition to the next.

As we prepare for our return to Bran Castle on June 27, 2026, this animation marks the beginning of a new visual chapter in the ever-expanding universe of Blüesferatü. 

Coming Soon: June 27, 2026 Blüesferatü - Live at Bran Castle Tickets: iabilet.ro

A cult film. A live blues soundtrack. A brand new animation.

Up the Irons !!!! 

Update after the screening (as noted on Letterbox):

Gotta say I expected this for a while so my expctations were Aces High. Seeing all the docs about the Irons, it makes for a nice completion, and great to see it in a cinema theater (*although mostly empty :( but it is more or less a promotional tool for the ongoing tour, more than the coda on the story of the Iron Maiden legend.

Angine de Poitrine - Sarniezz- SOTD

Angine de Poitrine ... this name is showing up all over, today I studied them more and I agree...

Microtonal duo from Quebec. Fantastic. Plus a gimmick they have, playing incognito under weird carnival masks and pointilist costumes ! It seems they are brothers and they play:

"un répertoire d'anti-aréna-rock instrumental cartonneux qui, à la manière de la musique techno, s'articule autour d'un jeu dynamique d'ajout et de retrait de motifs sonores en constante métamorphose."

Khn de Poitrine - Microtonal Guitars 

Klek de Poitrine - Drums

They describe their music as: "Dada Pythago-Cubist Mantra-Rock".

RIP Phil Campbell

Phil Campbell was Motorhead's last guitarist, on a series of greats (Larry Wallis, Wurzel, "Fast" Eddie Clarke), survived by only Brian Robertson (70 now).

Official Motorhead announcement:

He was Motörhead's guitarist for 31 years (the longest serving member aside from Lemmy) having joined in 1984. After Lemmy’s passing, he was blessed to form Phil Campbell and The Bastard Sons with his sons Todd, Dane and Tyla, which recorded and toured together for years.

Phil was a wonderful guitarist, writer, performer, and musician who had Motörhead in his veins. He always led with his gift of guitar, and carried a great sense of humour, but most of all, Phil led with his heart. You could not be around him without a chuckle or twenty, because quite simply, Phil loved life and lived it with great joy.

There will be plenty of time for us to share stories -tales of Campbell glory- and some damn good jokes together; for now, please send love and positive energy to Gaynor and the boys while affording them time, space, and privacy.

Much love and RIP Phil. The world has just lost an enormous beam of light, and we are devastated.

Saw Phil on all the dates with Motorhead I got to see and with his band, Phil Campbell and The Bastard Sons in 2018 at Qunatic club in Bucharest. Last year they opened for Guns 'n Roses on the National Arena in Buch. They played Suceava in 2024 and REF too in 2023.

Phil Cambell was just 64 !!!

Remembering George Harrison

 George Harrison would've been 83 today....Living in the Material World...

When he died George was only 58....He became my hero in highschool with his hit album Cloud Nine (1987). I love most his stuff with The Travelling Willburys...

Now only Jeff Lynne and His Bobness still around here....

Di'Anno: Iron Maiden's Lost Singer (2026)

This just in, as y-day it was the 45th anniversary of the release of the KILLERS album (2.02.1981) !!!

The life and career of pioneering heavy metal frontman Paul Di'Anno, the powerhouse voice heard on Iron Maiden's early albums, will be celebrated in the forthcoming documentary, Di'Anno: Iron Maiden's Lost Singer, to be released by Cleopatra Entertainment this summer.

Hmm, the doc does not apperar on imdb at all... :(

I met Wes Orshoski (and his co-director Greg Olliver in Cannes 15 years ago !!! when they premiered LEMMY in the market, wanted to bring him to Brasov to Doc and Roll to present his film, which we did (show the film that is..)

In a strikingly raw and intimate film, director Wes Orshoski captures the late singer riding an emotional rollercoaster toward the end of his life. Featuring appearances by James Hetfield (Metallica), Gene Simmons (Kiss) Maiden's Steve Harris and members of Exodus, Slayer, Megadeth, Overkill and Sepultura, the film chronicles how two Iron Maiden fans encounter Di'Anno at the lowest point of his life and then set out to restore his health and relaunch his career.

Wheelchair-bound since the mid-2010s, Di’Anno’s health nosedived during the Covid-19 pandemic, when those two fans launched a crowdfunding campaign which ultimately led to him relocating to Croatia, where - through the help of those fans and doctors - he made a dramatic turnaround while running out of money, reuniting with his former Maiden bandmates, and falling in love. Eventually he makes a heroic and drama-filled return to the stage. All of this is captured in Di'Anno: Iron Maiden's Lost Singer, which Orshoski began shooting in 2017.  

“For years there wasn’t much to capture,” says Orshoski, whose credits include Lemmy, a study of Motörhead frontman Lemmy Kilmister and The Damned: Don't You Wish That We Were Dead. “Paul was waiting for surgeries that doctors in the U.K. would not green-light. He was in an incredibly dark place. But once he got to Croatia, fans and doctors gave him the hope he was desperately searching for. It was beautiful to witness. I wanted to make a film that was unlike any rock doc you've ever seen. And in the end, I think we got there.” 

One of icons of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal scene of the late 1970s and early 1980s, London-born Di’Anno helped launch Iron Maiden around the world, appearing on two of the most foundational metal albums ever released: Iron Maiden’s 1980 self-titled debut and the celebrated follow-up, Killers, released in 1981. In one of the most epic sagas in metal history, Di’Anno left Maiden in 1981 and was replaced by Bruce Dickinson, leaving metal fans around the world to debate which line-up and which singer was/is better. It’s a debate that continues to this day, almost 50 years later. 

Orshoski finished work on the film (which was shot in England, Croatia, Brazil and the United States) shortly before Di’Anno’s death at 66 in October 2024. Di’Anno: Iron Maiden’s Lost Singer has been screening at European film festivals and will be released worldwide on both streaming services and on Home Entertainment DVD and BLU RAY formats.

Concert Eric Sardinas @ Transilvania Blues Nights – Back to Romania 7.02.26

Recunoscut drept unul dintre cei mai spectaculoși chitariști de blues-rock contemporan, Eric Sardinas revine în fața publicului din România pentru un concert-eveniment la București, în cadrul Transilvania Blues Nights, marcând prima sa apariție în România după 2012, când a concertat ultima dată în București. Revenirea sa este așteptată de peste un deceniu de fanii blues-rock-ului autentic.

Artistul american este celebru pentru stilul său electrizant și tehnica explozivă de slide guitar, prin care îmbină blues-ul tradițional cu energia rock-ului. Influențat profund de maeștri precum Elmore James, Johnny Winter și Son House, Sardinas duce mai departe tradiția blues-ului electric într-o formă contemporană.

Cu o carieră de peste două decenii pe marile scene ale lumii, Eric Sardinas s-a impus ca un performer de referință, cunoscut pentru intensitatea concertelor sale live și pentru modul visceral în care folosește chitara, adesea apelând la tehnici neconvenționale și o expresivitate rar întâlnită. De-a lungul timpului, a colaborat și a împărțit scena cu artiști legendari precum Steve Vai, Charlie Musselwhite, Marco Mendoza, David Coverdale și John Sykes, consolidându-și reputația internațională.

Eric Sardinas este considerat un artist care aduce blues-ul în prezent fără compromisuri, păstrând respectul pentru tradiție, dar împingând constant limitele expresiei muzicale. Fiecare concert este o experiență intensă și memorabilă.

Exclusive European Tour 2026: 

Kenny “Blues Boss” Wayne vine în premieră în România pentru un concert-eveniment la Brașov, fiind recunoscut drept unul dintre cei mai importanți pianişti de blues și boogie-woogie ai lumii.

Cu o carieră ce depășește 50 de ani, Kenny a împărțit scena cu legende ale blues-ului

și rock-ului, precum Jimmy Reed, Pinetop Perkins, Johnnie Johnson, Big Joe Duskin,

Joe Louis Walker și Floyd Dixon, dar și cu artiști celebri de soul și rock, printre care Ike

Turner sau membri ai Santana și Doobie Brothers. Virtuozitatea sa la pian și vocea sa

expresivă au cucerit publicul pe patru continente, fiind apreciat de critici și fani deopotrivă.

Născut în Spokane și crescut în New Orleans, Los Angeles și San Francisco, Kenny a

început să cânte la pian la doar 13 ani, inspirat de gospel-ul tatălui său și de boogie-

woogie-ul descoperit mai târziu. Stilul său combină energia boogie-woogie, eleganța

jazz-ului, ritmul swing-ului și profunzimea blues-ului clasic, transformând fiecare concert

într-o experiență completă și memorabilă.

Duke Robillard îl descrie astfel:

“Kenny ‘Blues Boss’ Wayne is a monster piano player, imaginative

songwriter and soulful singer who captures the essence of old school blues

and boogie, while simultaneously sounding totally fresh and contemporary.”

De-a lungul carierei, Kenny a primit numeroase distincții internaționale, printre care:

� Blues Music Award 2024 – Piano Player of the Year

� Blues Blast Magazine – Piano Player of the Year 2023, 2024, 2025

� Living Blues Magazine – Most Outstanding Musician (Keyboard) 2024

� Bobby Blue Bland Lifetime Achievement Award 2023

� Boogie-Woogie Piano Hall of Fame 2017

� Juno Award 2006 – Best Blues Album

� 7 Maple Blues Awards – Piano Player of the Year

Kenny este considerat un maestru care readuce pianul în prim-planul blues-ului contemporan, combinând respectul pentru tradiție cu o energie proaspătă, care face ca fiecare piesă să sune atât clasic, cât și actual.
