I’ve just finished transcribing Cameron’s liner notes for the Homegrown II album. What’s this, you ask? It’s a 1974 benefit album sponsored by KGB FM & AM radio in San Diego to support the United Way. Cameron was already established with Rolling Stone and since he was born and raised in the area, he was the logical choice to do the liner notes. Enjoy!
Cameron is quoted in Entertainment Weekly‘s annual “It” issue which is on newsstands now. He talks about who’s on his it list:
“PJ Harvey’s “66 Promises,” included only on her “Good Fortune” (Pt. 1) single from the Stories From the City, Stories From the Sea CD; Polly Jean is quietly having one of her greatest years yet. And Noah Taylor (Tomb Raider), the best-kept secret in movies.”
I just wanted to wish Mr. Billy Wilder a happy 95th birthday today. Have you seen the section of the site dedicated to Conversations with Wilder? It includes a bio of the legendary director, an except from the book, and multiple book reviews. Don’t forget, The Apartment was released on DVD this past week, if you haven’t seen it, do yourself a favor and rent it or buy it!
I’ve added Cameron’s liner notes for Peter Frampton’s “I’m In You” and “Frampton Comes Alive!”. They’re available to read in the Written By section.
You need to check out the “retrospective” look back at the band Stillwater complete with a bio, discography, and behind the scenes info. A special thanks to Corey Cox for all his help on the Stillwater bio, it’s much appreciated.
I’ve added the production notes for Singles (after many hours of transcribing). There’s some great quotes from Cameron about making the film, so check them out in the Singles section of the site.
I’m very pleased to present a new article on Cameron Crowe courtesy of writer David Konow over at Creative Screenwriting Magazine. David sent this over himself and it’s substantially longer than the version that appeared in January/February 2001 issue. Thanks David, I appreciate your support.
Peter Staddon, VP of Marketing for 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment, who posts regular at Home Theater Forum recently stated that Say Anything… should be released on DVD by the end of the year. No features have been announced, but Fox is working closely with Cameron. You may recall, that Cameron has expressed a strong interest to record a commentary track with John Cusack. I will keep you posted on any further developments.
