Before our feature presentation, ACME would like to start the evening with another Bugs Bunny Merrie Melodies cartoon, the 1949 Knights Must Fall directed by Friz Freleng.
This cartoon has had a sequence edited out in the past - the scene of Bugs stepping on a lever, lifting the top of the Black Knight's helmet, then hitting the Black Knight on the head with a hammer, producing a big lump .
February 22, 2004 -
During our weekly meeting, some of the staff of The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour that had sobered up enough from celebrating National Drink Wine Day on Tuesday realized we haven't listened to any music together since the beginning of the year. Norah Jones started a six week run at No. 1 on the US Billboard album chart with her album, Feels like Home, on this date. It was her second studio album, released on February 10, 2004, through Blue Note Records. It serves as the follow up to Jones' 2002 breakthrough album, Come Away with Me, which also hit number 1. So why not sit back and relax (quick, find the most comfortable seat on the sofa,) get a snack (perhaps, some popcorn,) and a beverage and join The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour in listening to Norah Jones' album, Feels Like Home. -
Asked by Mojo magazine what first turned her on to jazz, Norah Jones replied: "My mum took me to a big band concert at the University of North Texas when I was in 7th grade. The musicians were all college students, but I was floored. And it's funny - I'm not really into big band music. I don't record like that; it overwhelms my voice. But the night was cool, the music was cool, and I got my bug. I started to play saxophone." Jones considers herself a fan of "old music." She cites Bill Evans, Billie Holliday, Willie Nelson, Aretha Franklin, and Ray Charles as examples. That type of music, she says, "is just so badass and original."
Demand Euphoria!
