Calling everyone that's reading us that loves The Recording Academy!
Since we started covering them, the New York Notes column has exploded.
(Peachy mostly listens to U2, Rod Stewart and Frank Sinatra and is known to walk out of a store if she doesn't like the music. But if the GRAMMYS say something is great, who are we to argue? We're too late to work with Frank (thanks Nancy for following us on Twitter!), but we did review Rod Stewart's newest and he has another coming out in October. And Bono, are you reading?)
Calling all millenials!
This has your name all over it, and also all electronic music lovers, this one's for you.
If you like sound and you like being told a story, we believe We Are Your Friends is for you.
The latest and greatest by Warner Brothers comes out this Friday and it marks Max Joseph's directorial debut with a feature film; he directs from a screenplay he wrote with Meaghan Oppenheimer. We love the name-we think it sounds a little like our own elevator speech-and after making Perilhettes and definitely not being the person who arranged but tried, we can appreciate how difficult it is to put sounds together properly.
Sound is the main character in this movie, and have you ever thought about it as being organic? We have not, but we started to since watching this.
And don't you want movies that make you think a bit about life?
Early on, you may think the movie is all party, party, party.
And who doesn't like a party?
But watching it rather than being at one is different.
Who likes party observation for too long?
It's not too long, and w
e can assure you the script evolves into something deeper by the second half of the movie.
This movie is a coming of age story of a 23-year-old DJ named Cole, played by Zac Efron, whom we've always been impressed with since Charlie St. Cloud. His mentor, played by Wes Bentley as James, opens doors for him he didn't know opened when Cole spent all his time with his buddies. It's also a tale of comraderie, peer pressure, and fitting in.
Of all of the actors, we were most impressed with Emily Ratajkowski, whom we also saw recently in the WB Entourage movie. Her role was better here and she stepped up to the plate and won over the audience. She plays Sophie, the girlfriend and assistant of James and she gives the character depth. Emily has some resemblance to Sandra Bullock, who of course is a legend. Maybe someone should write a script and put them together.
We applaud the Wurlitzer reference but would have liked to have seen a Jukebox here rather than tickling the ivories! Is that brand still in business?
Some great quotes are in here if you listen, like Emerson's imitation is suicide.
Stop being an admirer...do something original.
As you know we love Made in the USA, so were happy to see the American Apparel plug:
Listen to your life.
The most minute sounds could make a big difference, if you record them properly!
The cinematography was particularly brilliant at the end.

Get Pumped Up for Friday.
From Warner Bros. Pictures and Studiocanal comes the romantic drama “We Are Your Friends.” The film marks Max Joseph’s (MTV’s “Catfish: The TV Show”) feature film directorial debut, and stars Zac Efron (“Neighbors”), Emily Ratajkowski (upcoming “Entourage,” “Gone Girl”) and Wes Bentley (“Interstellar,” “The Hunger Games”).
“We Are Your Friends” is about what it takes to find your voice. Set in the world of electronic music and Hollywood nightlife, an aspiring 23-year-old DJ named Cole (Efron) spends his days scheming with his childhood friends and his nights working on the one track that will set the world on fire. All of this changes when he meets a charismatic but damaged older DJ named James (Bentley), who takes him under his wing. Things get complicated, however, when Cole starts falling for James’ much younger girlfriend, Sophie (Ratajkowski). With Cole’s forbidden relationship intensifying and his friendships unraveling, he must choose between love, loyalty, and the future he is destined for.
Joseph directs from a screenplay he wrote with Meaghan Oppenheimer, from a story by Richard Silverman. The producers are Tim Bevan, Eric Fellner and Liza Chasin, with Silverman executive producing and Johanna Byer serving as co-producer. Randall Poster (“The Wolf of Wall Street,” “Divergent” and “Insurgent,” “Spring Breakers”) is the film’s music supervisor.Joseph’s behind-the-scenes creative team includes director of photography Brett Pawlak (“The Wannabe,” “Hellion”), production designer Maya Sigel (“TiMER” “Gun Hill Road”), editor Terel Gibson (“Phantom,” “The D Train”), and costume designer Christie Wittenborn (“30 Minutes or Less,” “Me and You and Everyone We Know”).
Set for release on August 28, 2015, “We Are Your Friends” is a Working Title Films production. It will be distributed in North America by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company. Studiocanal, who financed the film, will be distributing in France, the UK, Germany, Australia and New Zealand.
This film has been rated R by the MPAA for language throughout, drug use, sexual content and some nudity.
