Sam Smith movie poster exhibit to open
"House" poster designed by Sam Smith
Drummer Sam Smith, in his other life as a poster artist, has an exhibit of his movie posters going up at Nashville’s Belcourt Theatre starting Saturday, December 4. It’s Sam’s first art exhibit, and the opening event is from 5-8 PM, with about twenty of the posters he’s designed for mostly indie films remaining on display through December. The orange cat at left was a design he did for the theatrical re-release of Nobuhiko Obayashi’s 1977 film House. Â Sam is also working on poster designs for his top ten films of 2010, and many will be available for sale at a later date. Â For more information on Sam’s posters, visit his blog, Sam’s Myth. There’s also more info on Sam and his poster work in this article on slashfilm.com. Update: Sam has put up some pictures at his exhibition.
New track by Ryan Lerman
Ryan Lerman - The Spark
Ryan Lerman, Ben’s touring bassist, has a new track, The Spark, up on YouTube. It’s an evocative ballad about having regrets over a breakup, featuring Ryan on guitar, bass, drums and B3. Give it a listen, and while you’re there, check out his back catalog including a nice Elliot Smith cover.
Christmas song by Ben and Mark Hoppus
Ben Folds and Mark Hoppus on fuse.tv
Ben’s recorded a little Christmas ditty with Mark Hoppus of Blink 182. Â In the vein of Ben’s earlier Christmas tune Santa is a Big Fat F***, comes Happy Holidays, You Bastard. Be forewarned: this one is NSFW (not safe for work) – there is adult language in this, as you would only expect. The song was performed on Hoppus’ show A Different Spin on the fuse.tv cable network.
