Top 5 Musicals for a Magical Home Theater Experience

Musicals are often commonly associated with live theater, with the glitz and the glamor of the lights, the sounds, and the spirit of the performance. But musicals have, for decades, also made the transition to film, making the musical accessible to many more people. Today, with a good home theater system, fans of musical films will be able to immerse themselves into the performance, making the experience even more enjoyable! And to help you decide which musicals to enjoy in your home theater, here is our top 5 musical films list! 1. Grease (1978) – Grease is the story of a summer love between Danny Zuko (John Travolta) and Sandy Olsson (Olivia Newton-John), that seemingly ends when summer does. However, they soon find themselves going to the same school together, setting the stage for a musical extravaganza of a fairytale reunion, conflict, sadness, and finally love. This movie had produced many iconic songs that have been enjoyed throughout the decades.
2. Moulin Rouge! (2001)

I guess you could call this a continuation of the summer mixtape I shared last month. Whereas my previous mix had focused on the narcotic effect extended flights can have on one’s body, this attempts to zero in on the vast amounts of weirdness permeating through America at any given…

But while he is mostly known for his commercial scores, many of which have earned him numerous awards over the years (Cyber Golden Lion from Cannes, Grand Effie, and Adweek’s Spot of the Year awards to name a few), he is an all around artist, having studied art, music, and business at the University of Arizona.

Juana Molina - Un Día

I don’t have a clue what she’s saying but I don’t give a rip. This is amazing stuff. Wowzer. My curated show I might put together would be Juana Molina, Bachelorette and Julianna Barwick. Not big on Björk :\

Do yourself a favor read the rest of this because it has information on where to pick up Juana’s work, I will be later this evening.

Yesterday, I had one of those moments at my favorite Philly coffee shop, Ultimo, when a song came on that made my ears perk up and made me stop dead in my tracks. What IS this?! MUST. KNOW. NOW. So of course I went and asked the baristas what they were playing. Blowing my mind!

Turns out this Argentinian has been making records since the mid-90’s. This is the lead track from her latest effort, Un Día, out in October 2008 on Domino (criminally unavailable on vinyl - fix, plz!). She’s made four or five records to date, I can’t wait to start digging into her archive. This woman is a genius.

Day dream: curate a show with Juana Molina, Bachelorette and Björk. Putting those three women in the same room will likely melt a hole to the center of the earth.

Pick up this record here.  Trust me, you need this.

CNet’s Best Sounding Mid-Priced Receiver is… AVR-1911

The Denon AVR-1911 surround sound receiver was just named the best sounding midprice receiver by Steve Guttenberg from CNet.com

Here is an excerpt from the review:
“So it was the Denon AVR-1911 that took top honors, it just sounded better to my ears than the others. Bass definition was superb; upper treble clarity and resolution led the pack. […] The Denon AVR-1911 is the best sounding midpriced receiver I’ve heard this year.” (http://bit.ly/d1jclP)
