Online Presents

The Fall is officially here, and so is new television. Last night, FOX unveiled their return to smart comedy, by premiering two new shows, Raising Hope and Running Wilde.

Running Wilde comes from the creator of Arrested Development, and stars Will Arnett, aka GOB Bluth, also aka Mr. Amy Poehler, and that chick from Felicity and the Noxema commercials. The premise involves Arnett as a grown up, rich kid who can buy everything he wants, except that lost teenage love...enter Felicty's Keri Russell. It's like an American 'Arthur'. David Cross made a cameo last night, and I look forward to seeing more of the far fetched hilarity, to see what this series has to offer. Visit their official site here. Running Wilde is on Fox, Tuesday nights at 9:30pm.



In the preceding 9:00pm slot, Fox also premiered Raising Hope. The premise involves the main character, Jimmy Chance, raising a wedlock baby he made with a female crime spree murderer, who gets the electric chair, leaving Jimmy to raise 'Hope' on his own, with the help of his kooky family, played by Keanu Reeve's girlfriend in Parenthood, Martha Plimpton, Cloris Leachman as his senile great grandmother, and his father is played by this scoundrel, in The Road, Garet Dillahunt.



This unconventional comedy involved projectile vomiting onto baby 'Hope', antiquated baby car seats violently rolling around a back seat, and raver pacifier gags...what else can you ask for? Raising Hope airs Tuesday nights on FOX, at 9pm.

Enjoy these two shows while you can...we all know what the execs at FOX did to Arrested Development, after all.

And for my best music news of the Fall, Superchunk have released "Majesty Shredding", on MERGE. Mac and company can do no wrong in my book. Check out "Fractures in Plaster" below. Also check out a great video of comedian Todd Barry covering 'Horror Business' by the Misfits, with Superchunk.

Pop Sensibility.

Here's two brand new tracks I'm really enjoying lately. The first is a track from the forthcoming Film School album, titled "Fission". The album will be released on August 31st, courtesy of Hi-Speed Soul Records. Check out the steady, melodic drones on "Still Might". Film School will make an L.A. stop on their tour on October 21st, at The Echo. Visit their MySpace page, at the top of their page is an offer to pre-order their album, in which the band will send you a signed, physical copy.

The second track will make all the kids with a hankering for Passion Pit, Phoenix, and Vampire Weekend quite happy, a track called "Boy" from Ra Ra Riot. The album will be released on August 24th, by Death Cab friendly Barsuk Records. Ra Ra Riot brings their act to the Music Box in L.A. on October 20th.

I like the Japandroids. Like...a lot. For those of us old enough to remember, Cap N' Jazz have reunionized, and are playing at The Echo in L.A. later this month. Here's an ode to "The Younger Us". Check out "Younger Us" and a video from Cap 'N Jazz's latest tour, below.

There's new all over the place...

Here's two tracks, from two highly anticipated records. "The Suburbs" has an August 3rd release date, from the EENC favorite label of MERGE Records. Check out "Sprawl II (Mountains Beyond Mountains). Win's lovely and talented spouse, Regine Chassagne takes the vocal lead on this track, a very Knife-esque song. The album is full of surprising sound and direction, which showcases the true innate talent this band possesses, which ultimately has led to the evolution in "The Suburbs" Pre-order the album HERE.

And secondly, check out the ode to L.A. track from Les Savy Fav's forthcoming record titled "Root For Ruin". Their first record since 2007's "Let's Stay Friends", LSF are releasing this new effort on September 13th, via Wichita Recordings. NYC's reigning spazz rockers celebrate the West Coast on "Sleepless In Silverlake". Any potential for a romantic comedy of the same name, starring Zooey Deschanel and say, Ryan Gosling?! Pre-order "Root For Ruin" HERE.

We are not Architectural Digest...

...so we'll stop acting like an expensive, once-a-month publication for older people, and include some online goods on a more frequent, consistent basis. Procrastinators unite!

With that said, check out a remixed track from "The DJ Shadow Remix Project". "Entroducing" was my introduction to everyone's favorite DJ extraordinaire from Davis, CA, aka "Your favorite DJ Saviour". Enjoy the drum and bass heavy remix of "Building Steam With a Grain of Salt", the Ruby My Dear Remix. Read more about the "DJ Shadow Remix Project".

Here's a track from the AV Club Undercover series, a great project in which 25 artists are invited to perform a cover, from a list of 25 songs. The list includes Maritime covering Depeche Mode's "Enjoy The Silence", The Clientele covering M.I.A.'s "Paper Planes", and The Fruitbats covering Hall & Oates' "One on One", to name a few.

"Somewhere"

Check out the trailer for the new Sofia Coppola movie, titled "Somewhere". It stars Stephen Dorff, who I consider to be the poor man's version of Christian Slater, who in turn, I consider to be the poor man's version of Jack Nicholson. It also stars Dakota Fanning's sister, Elle...seems like the Fanning clan has an agent ready in the delivery room?

Much has been said about Coppola's visual glitz in her films, while lacking any real depth. I do to this day, enjoy "Lost In Translation". However, I feel a lot of what the great Bill Murray brought to the film, Coppola ultimately took credit for. And I did enjoy "Marie Antoinette", mainly because I got to watch it at The Arclight in Hollywood, while playing hookie from work years ago, and was fortuitously sat next to Jimmy Kimmel and Sarah Silverman (name drop!).

Check out the trailer for yourself, and download the song from the trailer, by The Strokes...Coppola nepotism applied. Regardless of how you feel about Sofia Coppola's cinematic career, her champagne and wine sure work!
