AC/DC's former bass player Mark Evans has released a tell-all book called Dirty Deeds. The former musician, who appeared in the original line-up of the Australian rock group alongside brothers Angus and Malcolm Young, was sacked in 1977 amid rumours that he had never got on with Angus. Evans told The Daily Telegraph: "I certainly had issues with Angus but everyone did. Angus is Angus and I have respect for the guy, for what he has achieved. "His and Mal's commitment to that band is amazing. They are so single-minded and the level of commitment they demanded - [it] was easy to fall short of that." Evans explained that (more)...

AC/DC are to release their own range of wines. The Australian band, which consists of Angus Young, Malcolm Young, Cliff Williams, Brian Johnson and Phil Rudd, teamed up with Aussie winery Warburn Estate to release varieties such as 'Back in Black' Shiraz, 'Highway to Hell' Cabernet Sauvignon and 'You Shook Me All Night Long' Moscato across the country. Steve Donohue, general manager of buying for the Woolworths Liquor Group, told the Herald Sun: "We wanted to make sure that AC/DC's hometown fan base could have easy access to their rock icons' wines. "For us it was (more)...

It is to be expected that the obituaries and commemorations for Peter Falk, who passed away last Thursday, would center on his four-time Emmy-winning starring role in the long-running series Columbo (the character was first introduced in a 1968 TV movie, it was turned into an NBC series running 1971-1977, then ABC revived the brand in 1989 for 24 TV movies, the last airing in 2003). His role as the perennially rumpled, misleadingly bumbling, “Ahhh, just one more thing…” homicide detective was not only his most famous and memorable character, but one which achieved that rarified altitude of “iconic.” Think Falk; think Columbo.
And as deserving as the tributes are, as laudatory as the valedictories have been, they still don’t do justice to the range and power Falk demonstrated throughout his career as an actor on both large and small screen.
Even the laurels thrown on his work in Columbo focus on the visible elements,...

30th Anniversary Limited Collector's Edition
Blu-ray | DVD
Directed by Eric Mistler, Eric Dionysius
Starring Bon Scott, Angus Young, Malcolm Young
Warner Bros. Home Entertainment
Release Date: June 7, 2011
Like them or not, the rock band AC/DC's influence on music cannot be denied. The three-cord jams of songs such as "Highway to Hell," "If You want Blood (You’ve Got It," and "You Shook Me All Night Long" continue to shape even modern rock which is so much different than that of the era of Bon Scott, AC/DC’s first (well sort of) singer.
Let There Be Rock is a classic concert film from 1979 (the last concert featuring lead singer Bon Scott who died soon after) featuring a mix of behind the scenes footage, interviews, and some other sort music video-ish set-up scenes to be played over the concert audio in various places. This...

AC/DC have revealed that they will never allow people to download their songs on iTunes. The Australian rock band, which consists of Brian Johnson, Malcolm Young, Phil Rudd, Angus Young and Cliff Williams, said that they only want their fans to listen to their records in full. Angus told The Daily Telegraph: "I know the Beatles have [been added to iTunes] but we're going to carry on like that. For us it's the best way. We are a band who started off with albums and that's how we've always been. "We always were a band that if you heard something on the radio, well, that's only three minutes. Usually the best tracks were on the albums." Johnson revealed that they will "never" retire, saying: "Not as long as I (more)...

With a DVD collection for a famous young actress, an old cartoon, a straight-to-video horror movie, and three movies with the word “Mountain” in the title, the only word that comes to mind to tie these titles together is “random”.
