FoundTrack Podcast - Episode 4 - The John Hughes Original Motion Picture FoundTrack

Please join the FoundTrack enterprise for a weekly journey into our new podcast series where we venture into the milky music ways new and old. We will try to keep each podcast short and sweet (roughly 1 hour) comprising of a mix of music sets, interviews, guest DJ's, and some companion material to correspond with our comprehensive weekly event guide.

This week we feature a special tribute to my hero, the late director/writer/producer John Hughes. I've highlighted some of my favorite sound bites/musical cinemagic from his incredible body of work including "Pretty in Pink", "Sixteen Candles", "The Breakfast Club", "Planes, Trains, and Automobiles" and plenty of other soundtracks that are out of print or commercially unavailable.

Pee Wee Herman Revival

Paul Reubens AKA Pee Wee Herman is reviving his famed 80's character in a new theatrical engagement of 10 shows at the Henry Fonda Theatre in Hollywood. Tix went on sale this morning. I was a big fan of the playhouse show growing up and i'm glad to hear he plans on bringing back the same storyline with his pals from Chairrie and Ptero (Pterodactyle) as well as some new material he plans on making into a picture deal. You should note that the late Phil Hartman, who was a prominent role on his show, will be replaced with a totally new character. And now here's the long pee wee intro to get you ready.

MERRIme Wins Best Comedy TV Pilot!

I hope that some of you were able to make it to last weeks screenings of the new web comedy MerriMe.com at the Independendt Television Festival. The audience was so impressed that
MERRIme.com won Best Comedy TV Pilot at the Independent Television Festival - ITV Fest 2009!!!

They've also captured a lot of great press at the top of TV Guide's "Hot List" and were also written up as "The Next Great Wave in TV - Coming from the Web."

EPISODES 4 and 5 have just been released online feat. guest stars, Dorian Brown (Roommates), Brandom Lim (Chuck), and Neil Hopkins (LOST)

Episode 4: Sushi anyone? Merri attempts to use chopsticks on her date with Chase when an unexpected guest arrives.

Episode 5: It's a "hard knock life" for Merri when MAC explains the demise of her awkward encounter with Drew Thomas. After a long day of dating, Merri is pleasantly suprised when Patrick enters the picture.

Stay tuned for the next 11 episodes to air weekly on thefrisky.com or MERRIme.com through October 6th.

FoundTrack Podcast - Episode 3

Please join the FoundTrack enterprise for a weekly journey into our new podcast series where we venture into the milky music ways new and old. We will try to keep each podcast short and sweet (roughly 1 hour) comprising of a mix of music sets, interviews, guest DJ's, and some companion material to correspond with our comprehensive weekly event guide.

This week we feature new music from Magnolia Electric Co., Throw Me The Statue, and Florence and the Machine. I also got a chance to catch up with Jessica Dobson of Deep Sea Diver before she went on tour with Conor Oberst.
