Listen to the Rare, Vintage Pop Stylings of Ian McShane and Julian Schnabel

No! Not together! Could you imagine? Actually, I guess you're perfectly welcome to play these unearthed early '90s pop gems by artist/filmmaker Julian Schnabel and actor Ian McShane simultaneously in a fit of masochistic Tuesday morning ardor, but nine out of 10 doctors would strongly disapprove. And the tenth one would be clinically deaf. Let's have a listen! Jordan Hoffman passed along word this morning of his extraordinary archival find: Schnabel's troubled 1993 album Every Silver Lining Has a Cloud, produced by Bill Laswell and featuring a fairly staggering line-up of Anton Fier on Drums, Laswell on bass, Bernie Worrell on keys and Buckethead on guitar. And behind the mic: Schnoul Brother No. 1, Mr. Julian Schnaaaaabellll [CROWD GOES WILD]: I know what you're asking yourself: How did this happen? How could this happen? Is that a turd or phallus on the album cover? But there's no time for questions - not with Ian McShane's 1992 covers album From Both Sides Now to revisit. No real back-up band on this one besides the British producers The James Boys, a pair of wunderkinds who laid down just the right karaoke-style synth jams to complement England's own hardest-working man in show business: Check out the complete story behind McShane's misbegotten croonery here, and lobby Hoffman to release the rest of those hallowed Schna-ballads here.

Melisandre Burns That Old Gods Of all of the new figures I'm excited to determine throughout season a couple of "Bet on Thrones," Melisandre is near the top of their email list. She brings another mindset to everything about Westeros, as we have never really met a red-colored priestess before. Within this trailer, you will find several key shots showing Melisandre burning that old Gods of Westeros in pyres, symbols of that change is certainly coming. The Fight Of Blackwater Finally! Fans happen to be clamoring to discover the way the "Bet on Thrones" crew did justice to among the greatest fight moments within the entire franchise, which trailer has provided us with a great taste of methods it had been done. Sure, all we are able to see is a great deal of fire, fighting and darkness, but a minimum of it appears such as the Fight of Blackwater is going to be a legendary set piece within the second season. Now provide us with an idea from the ocean fight! North From The Wall Since "Bet on Thrones" shot a part of its second season in Iceland, it should not happen to be a surprise to determine that icy landscape within the shot of Jon Snow and also the males from the Night's Watch trekking north from the Wall, but goodness is the fact that cinematography gorgeous.

Your day can come whenever your pleasure will use ashes and you will be aware of debts are compensated," Tyrion Lannister informs his sister, Full Cersei, inside a voice-over because the trailer shows Cersei being assaulted with a mob in King's Landing. It's among the first occasions fans might find Cersei not in charge of the situation, as well as bodes poorly for that Lannister regime in Westeros' capital.
