Lyrics to Live A Lie
All around me now
There’s nothing but pain
And I’m giving nothing back
That you gave
My house is crowded now
And I just can’t convey
Just how much you meant to me
And you take
A little time
Those mistakes
You know they were mine
And all the plans
That we made
Turned to stone
Walking away to live a lie
Now you found an open place
Where you wanted to be
And there’s nothing better than
What you need
And all those lonely eyes
Keep searching the streets
To find the things you gave to me
And you take
A little time
Those mistakes
You know they were mine
And all the plans
That we made
Turned to stone
Walking away to live a lie
And you take
A little time
Those mistakes
You know they were mine
And all the plans
That we made
Turned to stone
Walking away to live a lie
Walking away to live a lie
Walking away to live a lie

AM’s music is featured in what the press is touting as the biggest deal of the 2009 Sundance Film Festival, David Mackenzie’s movie “Spread,” produced by and starring Ashton Kutcher. A remix of AM’s song “Mainstay” from his debut album “Troubled Times” is featured in the film which premiered at this years Sundance Film Festival. AM will perform live with full band in Los Angeles at The Roxy March 04, 2009 (Details Below) presented by The Deli Magazine Los Angeles (www.thedelimagazine.com/la).
AM is putting the finishing touches on his new album currently titled “Future Sons And Daughters” with producer Charles Newman (Magnetic Fields- one of Rolling Stones Top 50 albums of 2008). Conceived in Elliot Smith’s previous dwelling (now Newman’s place of residence), AM further expands his ability to combine intelligent, yet un-alienating lyrics with sparse, psychedelic groove. From the sultry melodicism of Brazil’s Jorge Ben to the moodiness of Ennio Morricone’s more trippy soundtrack period, the new album fuses the classic with the modern with an honesty only a dedicated music fan could produce.
New Orleans native, and current Echo Park resident, AM has topped tastemakers lists and garnered radio support for his music including the most recent project “Side By Side- Duets Vol. 1” which features duets with friends and contemporaries Tina Dico, Meiko, Buddy, Rick Garcia, Julianna Raye, and Susie Suh. In the past two years, AM has had over 60 songs featured in films and television shows like HBO’s “Big Love” and MTV’s “The Hills” and also the movie “Wake” starring Danny Masterson and Bijou Phillips. Aside from touring Europe and the U.S., AM has shared stage with such artists as The Flaming Lips, Duran Duran and The Roots. AM has also performed live on KCRW’s Morning Becomes Eclectic and the late Indie 103fm.

In the biggest deal of the 2009 Sundance Film Festival, Overture sister company Anchor Bay Films has acquired U.S. and Australian rights to David Mackenzie’s “Spread,” according to a source close to the deal. The film, produced by and starring Ashton Kutcher, has also been sold to TVA for Canada. Insiders pegged the pacts at a nearly $4 million sale tonight.
Endeavor Independent’s Graham Taylor and CAA negotiated the deal on behalf of Barbarian Films with Kevin Kasha from Anchor Bay. “Good things come to those who wait,” noted one tipster tonight, referring to a festival that has seen few sales as it enters its final weekend. The insider added that the deal involves an aggressive theatrical commitment and bonuses for the release.
The film, produced by Kutcher, Jason Goldberg and Peter Morgan, features Kutcher, Anne Heche, Margarita Levieva, Rachel Blanchard, Sebastian Stan and Sonia Rockwell in an L.A. story of a male gigolo.
Chris McGurk runs Overture and Anchor Bay as CEO of both companies.
Endeavor is also selling Shana Feste’s “The Greatest” at the Sundance Film Festival, expecting to sell the film in the next 24 hours. Among the other films understood to be closing in on deals, potentially before the end of the fest (according to insiders) are Doug Pray’s “Art and Copy,” Louise Psihoyos’s “The Cove,” Michael Orion Scot’s “Over the Hills and Faraway,” Lee Daniels’ “Push,” and Emily & Sarah Kuntsler’s “William Kuntsler: Disturbing The Universe.”
“This is the biggest Anchor Bay films acquisition ever,” the company’s Kevin Kasha told indieWIRE late tonight, “What the Dimension brand meant to Miramax, that’s what we want Anchor Bay Films to be to our sister company Overture!” He continued, “We are thrilled to be in business with Ashton Kutcher and the ‘Spread’ team. On behalf of the entire Anchor Bay Films family, words do not do justice to express how excited we are!”
Not sure when this movie will be released but will post as soon as I know anything.
Spread
Los Angeles is often the customary site for mythmaking in the American cultural iconography. It is a place, for instance, where the legend of the sexual exploits of the male gigolo seems perfectly at home in the decadent universe of Hollywood dreams and nightmares. Surely inspired by the classic tradition of American Gigolo and Shampoo, Spread is such a perfectly tuned, contemporary depiction of the trials and tribulations of sleeping your way to wealth and success that, guilty pleasure or not, it’s irresistible. Especially so since it’s driven by the iconic persona of Ashton Kutcher, who plays Nikki and breathes the charged sexuality, fashion and hipness, and sense of entitlement of the sexual grifter as if he were born to it. Stylishly directed by David MacKenzie (Hallam Foe, Young Adam), Spread is a moral tale in a very-modern sense with its characters of a young man and his middle-aged, well-to-do client (played by Anne Heche), his various associates and conquests, and a waitress whom he begins to really care about (unbeknownst to him, she is playing the same game). The world of money, sex, and privilege is an ephemeral one, and the fall can be as sudden as the ascent. Spread is a finely crafted vision of ambition, indulgence, vanity, and self-realization that epitomizes the lifestyle of a fabled Mecca.

Sorry for the delay in new posts. Been a little under the weather. Maybe you care. Maybe you don’t…but here’s what’s been in my vintage 1989 stereo system as of late.
