Slackerwood Podcast #10: 'Bandslam' and Sounds Under Radio
Welcome to podcast #10, in which Jette Kernion and Debbie Cerda focus on music and movies -- local music in Hollywood films, Austin composers and musical moments we like in movies. (Jette's favorite = the entire score of The Bad News Bears, but that's a story for another day.)
Debbie interviews Lang Freeman (shown at right) from the local band Sounds Under Radio, which had a song featured in the movie Spider-Man 3. She also tells us a little about last week's red carpet for Bandslam, which was filmed in Austin and features two local bands: The Daze and Joker. Check Slackerwood soon for a full account.
Jette reminds everyone that a lot of well-known actors and actresses are in town to shoot Robert Rodriguez's feature film Machete, based on his "fake trailer" in Grindhouse. Jenn has already spotted Danny Trejo (more on that later this week), but keep an eye out for other familiar faces.
The podcast also includes info on the Julie & Julia feasts at Alamo South Lamar this week -- in a few days, Debbie will post some photos of the dishes being prepped for the feast -- and a reminder about the upcoming local premieres of Shorts and Extract (you can still get tickets through the Paramount website).

Oops!
Rather than correct myself, I'm leaving it to the listeners to answer these two questions about the interview with Lang included in the podcast:
1) What factoid did Lang and I mistakenly say?
2) What was the song Lang was trying to remember?
Oops! Answers
1) Cameron Crowe directed "Say Anything" not John Hughes
2) The song Lang was trying to remember is called, "A Girl Like You" by The Smithereens.
