After a two-decade hiatus the legendary Crime & The City Solution have returned and are excited for the release of their latest album American Twilight, this Tuesday, March 26th! In anticipation of its release and for your listening pleasure, you can now stream the entire album from today until Tuesday, tune in now!

You can also now watch the video for title track directed by Danielle de Piciotto – watch here.

This latest embodiment of Crime & The City Solution sees Berlin era members Simon Bonney (vocals), Bronwyn Adams (violin) and Alexander Hacke (guitar), joined by renowned visual artist Danielle de Picciotto, Jim White (drums - Dirty Three, Cat Power), David Eugene Edwards (guitar - 16 Horsepower, Wovenhand), Troy Gregory (bass - Witches) and Matthew Smith (Moog / keyboards - Outrageous Cherry, Volebeats).

Formed by Simon Bonney at the age of 16, Crime & The City Solution’s early performancesin Sydney had a big impact on key figures of the early Melbourne art-punk/post punk scene.In 1984, Bad Seed Mick Harvey shipped Bonney to England to form the London based Crime with their friend the brilliant and ever influential ex-Birthday Party guitarist Rowland S Howard, his brother Harry Howard on bass and Epic Soundtracks on drums. Two years on, having toured Europe, the UK and US and released several EPs and an album, this lineup reached its zenith at its finale in a historic swansong performance in Wim Wenders’ cinematic masterpiece ‘Wings of Desire’.

Bonney has said his true voice and the definitive sound he sought emerged with the next, Berlin based incarnation of Crime & The City Solution, which recorded three studio albums and a live CD between 1986 and 1991. With a more experimental sound, which drew less on Melbourne post punk scene roots and took a more explorative musical approach, this lineup was 50% Berliner and featured Einstürzende Neubauten’s Alex Hacke on guitar, ex-DAF/Liaisons Dangereuses electronic genius Chrislo Haas on vintage Korg patchbay synth, free jazz trio bassist Thomas Stern, with Australians Mick Harvey on drums and Bonney’s lyrical collaborator Bronwyn Adams on violin.

The series follows four ordinary women with the extraordinary ability to break codes, a skill honed during World War II when they worked undercover at Bletchley Park, site of the United Kingdom’s main decryption establishment. Now in 1952, Susan, Millie, Lucy and Jean have returned to civilian life, keeping their intelligence work secret from all, including family and friends. A series of ghastly murders targeting women, however, re-unites the team as they set out to decode the pattern behind the crimes.

Babylon 5 Star Claudia Christian's
Tell-All Candidly Chronicles Her
Battles With Addiction

by Joachim Jocson
BeansTalk Contributor

Celebrities, with their seemingly endless supply of adulation and alcohol, are no strangers to addictions; sadly, it's the frequent subject of entertainment magazine covers.  In a universe where relapse is more common than sober success, popular "Babylon Five" actress Claudia Christian can count herself in the latter category. 

Christian's battle with alcohol addiction is the subject of her memoir Babylon Confidential: A Memoir of Love, Sex and Addiction. 

Christian, currently on a book tour, tells BeansTalk it was a conversation with Dr. Roy Eskapa (The Cure for Alcoholism), that sparked her interest in penning her book. Eskapa suggested she chronicle  her experience with alcohol addiction and the Sinclair Method treatment. Sinclair, she says, provides an effective solution to excessive drinking. 

The actress candidly discusses her pre-sober life and her days of rehab and recovery, for which she credits the Sinclair Method. 

It’s been four years since she applied the Sinclair Method to her recovery, Christian tells BeansTalk. Like many who suffer from addictions, finding a successful path  was a rocky road. Initially, she went to a rehab facility in northern California and dabbled in psychotherapy for a couple of years. 

She combined therapy with hypnosis, vitamin therapy, and the best known program, AA (Alcoholics Anonymous). 

“I would go from one to 11 months and never hit the year mark, then I would fall off the wagon,” says Christian. For five to six years, she struggled with attempts to quell her addiction. She fretted about seizures, visited a detox center. Finally, in 2009, she discovered the Sinclair Method and for four years Christian has been clean.

The book has been a cathartic experience for her, but it hasn't been without its challenges: “I think the most difficult part for me was to come clean about my problem of alcoholism, because it is embarrassing. When you go through it, you are in denial. So to 'fess up, that was really the hardest part to write.” 

Unlike many addicts who fight with their inner demons daily, fighting the urge to drink, Christian says she hasn’t thought about drinking or had one, that specter of alcohol addictions no longer lingers like a cloud above her.

With her book, Christian says she'll not only remain sober, but she's committed to   to help others affected by alcohol addiction. She stays true to her word: her book's website (http://www.babylonconfidential.com/) offers readers an opportunity to leave a message and she promises to respond with advice on methods and treatments. 

“I would tell them if they are drinking too much, or if their drinking is controlling/affecting their life in a negative way, to give the Sinclair Method a chance,” she encourages. Christian recommends Dr. Eskapa’s book for insight as to the science of alcoholism.

Christian as Commander Susan Ivanova of "Babylon 5"

 
Next month Christian and former "Babylon 5" castmates reunite for the 20th anniversary of the series' pilot. She continues to write, and is at work on a science-fiction military novel, Wolf's Empire, which already has a publisher. For more info, (http://claudiachristian.net).

Christian's candid memoir will be of interest, not only to the legion of "Babylon 5" fans, but to anyone interested in the proverbial road to recovery. 

Babylon Confidential: A Memoir of Love, Sex and Addiction is now available. In addition to her addiction, Christian dishes on celebrity relationships, including those with Rob Lowe, George Clooney and Dodi Fayed (who died alongside Princess Diana). She also discusses a very awkward date with the acclaimed, then-married "Babylon 5" creator and writer J. Michael Straczynski, spurning William Shatner's advances, her departure from "Babylon 5," and sci-fi legend Harlan Ellison's subsequent diss. Christian also has had her share of obsessive fans, and she recounts (with great humor) the time when a fan, dressed as a giant Tribble (think and remember "Star Trek"), shot her (luckily the bullet was a blank).  For more, get the book!

Mike Vensel and Elliot 
Evan Debut Collections

BeansTalk Biz Contributor

One of the dresses of Vensel's 2013 Fall-Winter collection, Oblivion. 

Two Fall-Winter 2013 hotly anticipated collections were released at Siren Studios in West Hollywood Saturday, March 9, 2013, as a part of LA Concept Fashion Week.

Mike Vensel helped start LA Concept Fashion Week years ago and used the outlet he created to release his Fall-Winter 2013 collection, Oblivion. The runway show featured models in his iconic, classic, feminine designs. They strutted down the runway in formal monochrome dresses that featured pops of color throughout the show.

 Models wearing some of Evan's designs in his Never Forever, Uniform A collection at Siren Studios.

“I just try to design from the viewpoint of, ‘If I was a woman, what would I want to wear?’” Vensel says. “What is the ultimate dress? Or what is the ultimate minimal statement? Or the ultimate piece or the ultimate t-shirt, even? So I try to always think with these silhouettes, but always try to be kind of body conscious.”

The veteran designer is known for his feminine cuts and this collection featured what followers of his fashion are used to, but with touches of new flare, including one piece where an entire model’s face was covered.

LA Concept Fashion Week at Siren Studios in West Hollywood, where Mike Vensel and Elliot Evan, among others, debuted their 2013 Winter-Fall collections.

Vensel said LA Concept started as just him and a couple of friends believing shows could be done better, so they reached out to designers and sponsors and the event has grown over the years. Concept used to be held at Ace Gallery in Beverly Hills, but in recent years moved to Siren Studios.

“We want to kind of create something that’s consistent and known by people, and people are familiar with it, and it’s intimate and comfortable, and affordable for the designers,” he says.

 During the day, noted designers Jen Awad and Nikki Rich had runway shows to debut their newest collections. Vensel had the last show of the day.

LA Concept featured past designers, like Vensel, but also featured a newer designer named Elliot Evan, who Vensel endorsed as an “amazing up and coming designer.” The 26-year-old debuted his Fall-Winter Collection Never Forever, Uniform A at the same time as Vensel in a presentation that was part of a rooftop party at Siren Studios, complete with an open bar, a view of downtown Hollywood and tons of well-dressed young people.

Evan is known for his designs in menswear. The presentation featured male models in his signature sleek, sharp cuts. They stood for onlookers around motorcycles and crushes beer cans for props, and fog even eventually filled the room later in the evening.

“I’m just interested in who I am and I’m trying to see myself in an alternate universe,” Evan says of his menswear designs. “I’m trying to perfect it. That’s one of the biggest things, is like, me in the perfect world. And I’m just going to keep making that until it’s perfect.

The show also featured some women’s designs as well, though. Evan said he likes the softness of a woman and that woman’s designs can often be more androgynous.

Vensel said Evan has shown with him three times in the past six months. Evan also recently debuted at New York Fashion Week as well.

“Luckily, people liked what I made and seemed to be really positive,” Evan said of New York Fashion Week. “I had amazing models, amazing makeup, all those pieces of the puzzle came together and made a great show.”

Phish

Phish will kick off its 2013 summer tour with its first-ever concert at Darling's Waterfront Pavilion in Bangor, Maine (7/3), which will be followed by a three-night stand at Saratoga Performing Arts Center (7/5-7). The outing will also include an evening at Toronto's Molson Amphitheatre (7/9), marking the band's first concert in Canada in nearly 13 years, and Phish's first shows at Charter One Pavilion on Northerly Island(7/19-21), which is located on a 91-acre peninsula that juts into Lake Michigan and offers a stunning view of the Chicago skyline.

West Coast dates include Phish's return to The Gorge Amphitheatre in George, WA (7/26 & 27), the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in San Francisco, CA (8/2-4) and Los Angeles' Hollywood Bowl (8/5). For the third consecutive year, the band will wrap up its summer run with a trio of Labor Day weekend shows (8/30 - 9/1) at Dick's Sporting Goods Park in Commerce City, CO. See below for a complete itinerary.

An online ticket request period for the tour is currently underway athttp://tickets.phish.com/. Tickets will go on sale to the general public beginning March 29 and 30.

In a 2012 live review, the SF Weekly praised Phish's "undeniably infectious appeal," noting: "a live Phish show is a wholly unique experience...Songs like 'Possum,' 'Tweezer,' and perennial fan favorite 'Run Like An Antelope' were positively thrilling rides of sonic confluence" while the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette observed: "the lawn was absolutely packed -- the usual turnout -- and it was difficult to find anybody who wasn't having the time of his life." "[The] quartet still has the ability to surprise...The Hollywood Bowl has rarely been as ebullient as it was on Monday," said the Los Angeles in a review of a sold-out 2011 show. Rolling Stone recently named Phish as one of "The New Immortals" - current bands that the magazine predicts "will stand the test of time."

Red-PR Tips on Hair Fashion

What's Hot in Hair

Nape-Skimming Fishtails

To get the beautiful braided nape-skimming braid crown from Christian Siriano's FW13 show, begin by blow drying hair with the Centrix Q-Zone Dryer.Create a straight part down the center of hair, all the way to neck with the tail-end of the Amped UP Teasing Brush. Smooth each side, then divide each side into two sections above the ear and smooth with the Friction Free Paddle Brush. Take one section on the right side and create a fishtail braid. Next, take the second section on the right side and create a traditional three-strand braid. Repeat on the left side, except switch fishtail and 3-strand braid opposite from right side. For the final step, take each braid and tuck into the opposite side where the sections meet. Secure with bobby pins. 

  

Crown of Braids

What could be better than a romantic half-up half-down incorporating a crown of braids? Rodarte was on-point with their ethereal hair look this season. Start by blow drying with Centrix Q-Zone Dryer with additional reinforcement from the Power Booster attachment. Create loose texture around the head with the Friction Free 1¼" Curling Iron. Take a 3" section of hair from the temple, and pull away from hairline on each side. Braid both strands. Once secure, pull apart the knots to give more texture. Bring braids together to meet in the back of head and secure into each other in a messy bun using bobby pins.

Artistic Uprising
The Arts in Nazi
Germay's Camps

Defiant Requiem: Voices of Resistance
Sunday, April 7, 2013
10:00-11:00 p.m. ET on PBS

– Gripping story of an artistic uprising in a Nazi concentration camp is told through archival film, prisoners’ artwork, survivor recollections, cinematic dramatizations,
evocative animation and soaring concert footage –

In the spring of 1944, a handpicked group of Nazi officers was treated to an unusual performance by inmates in a concentration camp. What appeared to be a soaring rendition of a choral masterpiece was intended as a subversive condemnation of the Nazis and a desperate message to the outside world. In the face of horrific living conditions, slave labor and the constant threat of deportation to Auschwitz, the Jewish inmates of Terezin concentration camp — artists, musicians, poets and writers — fought back with art and music.

Led by conductor Raphael Schächter, a chorus of 150 inmates performed one of the world’s most difficult and powerful choral works, Verdi’s Requiem, a Catholic work re-imagined by imprisoned Jews as a condemnation of their captors. Ultimately, they performed for Nazi senior officers and the International Red Cross, singing what they dared not say. Six decades later, conductor Murry Sidlin and a new choir take Verdi’s Requiem back to Terezin to reawaken this little known chapter of heroism and the resilience of the human spirit. Combining soaring concert footage, powerful survivor recollections, evocative animation, archival images and the prisoners’ own artwork, this artistic uprising is brought to life in DEFIANT REQUIEM: VOICES OF RESISTANCE, premiering Sunday, April 7, 2013, 10:00-11:00 p.m. ET (check local listings) on PBS.

Just 40 miles west of Prague, the old fortress town of Terezin had been converted into a makeshift “holding pen” for the Czech Jews during WWII. Within months, the town built for 6,000 people was bursting with nearly 60,000 Jewish inmates. An imprisoned conductor, Schächter rallied his fellow inmates with clandestine musical gatherings, and what began as a fight for survival soon exploded into a cultural rebellion. Artists captured the horrors around them on paper, playwrights staged plays with makeshift sets and costumes, composers wrote new compositions, and thousands of concerts and lectures provided late- night escape for inmates longing for a return to humanity.

This artistic uprising reached its peak when Schächter attempted a performance of one of the world’s most demanding choral works, Verdi’s Requiem, intended as a condemnation of the Nazis. Schächter painstakingly taught the Latin text, which promised divine judgment against evil, to his choir of 150, using a single smuggled score. They performed the Requiem 16 times for fellow prisoners, accompanied only by a single piano.

Eventually, the Nazis took notice of the artistic enclave at Terezin; rather than crush it, they twisted it to their own advantage. They invited the International Red Cross for a highly orchestrated visit to what they call a “self-governed Jewish city” and cynically documented the town’s makeover in an infamous propaganda film, The Führer Gives a City to the Jews. Following massive deportations, Schächter’s choir had been reduced to 60, but they seized the opportunity to use their music to confront the Nazis under the gaze of the Red Cross delegation, desperately hoping their condemnation might pierce the painstakingly staged propaganda.

Now, 60 years later, conductor Murry Sidlin has realized his dream of bringing his own chorus to Terezin to honor Schächter and all those who were imprisoned in Terezin. In a former warehouse – where Nazi commandants once worked Jewish prisoners to their deaths – more than 160 young American singers and instrumentalists, along with an orchestra from Prague, gathered to perform Maestro Sidlin’s concert drama The Defiant Requiem. To capture this extraordinary moment, producer Peter Schnall and Partisan Pictures filmed the historic concert with an international crew. Schnall and director/writer Doug Shultz used this powerful and moving performance to re-tell the story of Schächter, his chorus and Terezin.

For Schnall, his journey to this former Nazi concentration camp became more than just another filmic experience. During production, he learned, for the first time, that his own great-grandmother had died while imprisoned within the walls of Terezin.
