13 Songs For Alternative Superheroes

Captain America: The Winter Soldier opens this weekend.  The film from Marvel Comics stars Chris Evans as Steve Rogers, a.k.a. Captain America, who, as his name implies, is one of the world’s Most Finest Superheroes fighting evil and corruption.  Not all heroes are super.  Bad supers aren’t trying to save the world. They’re just trying to make their little corner of it better.  Sometimes, as we learn in the film Superbad, the greatest hero you’ll ever know is already standing right beside you; your best friend. Boop.

Lakeshore Records: Bad Supers - 13 Songs

In Super, Rainn Wilson stars as Crimson Bolt, a delusional man on mission to save his wife from an evil drug dealer. In My Super Ex-Girlfriend, Uma Thurman plays G-Girl, a heroine-scorned who strays so far from justice that she nearly becomes a super-villain. In Crank, Jason Statham plays the unstoppable Chev Chelios, a true anti-hero who wades through the criminal underworld powered by nothing but epinephrine and a desire to hear his girlfriend pick up the goddamn phone.  Here’s a playlist to celebrate those who stumble, trip, and fall into greatness – heroes who lose their way or have strange ideas about what constitutes a good deed.

‘Something Wicked’ Opens In Theaters Today – Download The Official Soundtrack!

Something Wicked is out today in theaters: are you going to see it?  The thriller stars Shantel VanSanten, John Robinson, Julian Morris and Brittany Murphy in her final film.  We’ve seen the movie trailer and heard the soundtrack, so it’s going to be a safe bet it’s going to be one scary movie you won’t want to miss.  Composer Kyle Newmaster does a good job scoring the soundtrack: he takes us on this tension-filled journey filled with mystery, an injection of musical adrenaline, and a lot of ups, downs, twists and turns.  Oh, how he plays with our emotions!

‘How I Met Your Mother’ Trivia: Jason Segel & Paul Rudd Are ‘Friends’

When a TV show ends, it never really leaves your heart, does it?  Tonight marks the series finale of How I Met Your Mother, airing at 8/9 Central on CBS (check local listings).  Premiered in 2005, this sitcom filled the void created when “Friends” went off the air in 2004.  The series stars Josh Radnor, Jason Segel, Cobie Smulders, Neil Patrick Harris and Alyson Hannigan.  Lakeshore Records takes a look at another comedy starring Jason Segel: I Love You, Man.  His co-star, Paul Rudd, is a “Friends” alum.  Pretty cool, right?  “I Love You, Man” was released in 2009 during the HIMYM series run.  If you’ve already seen “I Love You Man,” then you’ll know the fun soundtrack with a score by Theodore Shapiro is worth adding to your How I Met Your Mother-related playlist.
