MONTHLY ARCHIVES: 2002 - 2020
| FEBRUARY 2010 | JUNE 2010 |
Spring is here (as of 1:32 pm
EDT tomorrow), and that means the Spring issue of The
Journal of Ayn Rand Studies is
here too!
Ah, if only publication schedules were as reliable as
the Vernal Equinox. As reported here,
the journal moved from Port Townsend, Washington to Reno, Nevada, and now all
operations are out of Brooklyn, New York. I've had a few bumps in the road of my
own to deal with, but I'm happy to report that the new issue is finally at the
printer. This is our long-awaited symposium on Ayn Rand and Friedrich Nietzsche,
and we should be getting the issue off to subscribers within the next two weeks.
And yes, it is a Spring issue, even if our year is off a bit.
Readers will be treated to a provocative discussion of
the relationship between the two thinkers, featuring the following essays and
authors:
Egoism in Nietzsche and Rand - Stephen R. C. Hicks
Egoism in Nietzsche and Rand: A Somewhat Different
Approach - Lester Hunt
Ronald E. Merrill and the Discovery of Ayn Rand�s
Nietzschean Period - Adam Reed
Nietzsche, Rand, and the Ethics of the Great Task -
Peter Saint-Andre
Will the Real Apollo Please Stand Up? Rand, Nietzsche,
and the Reason-Emotion Dichotomy - Roger E. Bissell
Embracing Power Roles Naturally: Rand�s Nietzschean
Heroes and Villains - Robert Powell
Abstracts for the new issue appear here;
contributor biographies can be found here.
Our publication schedule will be getting back to normal
in the coming months. A few back issues are still available, though hard copies
are going fast, and we are working hard to digitize our oldest issues for the
benefit of our readers. Most importantly, our subscription databases are up to
date, and we encourage new subscribers to take advantage of our new Paypal
Express (see our subscription
page).

Song of the Day: It's
Easy to Say, composed by the magnificent Henry
Mancini, with lyrics by Robert
Wells, is featured in the 1979 film "10,"
where it is performed hauntingly and lovingly on piano by Dudley
Moore and by Julie
Andrews and Moore as well (full-length movie versions at those
links). One of my all-time favorite Mancini compositions,
take a look at a
live version with Mancini and Moore and another
played by the composer himself. The Academy
Award-nominated song was performed on the 1980 telecast by Moore
and singer Helen Reddy. And so ends my annual mini-movie music tribute.

Song of the Day: Wives
and Lovers, a classic Burt
Bacharach-Hal
David hit, is one of the great "exploitation"
songs in film history. Paramount
Pictures asked the gents to write a promotional song that shared the
title of the 1963
movie, even though the song is never actually heard in the film.
Check out the great Grammy-winning
waltz-time version by swinging, singing immortal Jack
Jones (YouTube clip at that link) and the Jack
Jones disco version with the sexy jazz sax solo, as well as wonderful
versions by Nancy
Wilson, Julie
London, Connie
Francis, Frank
Sinatra and Count Basie, jazz
saxophone great Stan Getz, and one of my all-time favorite jazz
guitar versions by the legendary Joe
Pass playing a 12-stringer.

Song of the Day: Can't
Fight the Moonlight, written by Diane
Warren, is featured in
the film "Coyote
Ugly." Today begins my mini-tribute to film music, in anticipation of
the 82nd
Academy Awards to be broadcast this Sunday, March 7, 2010. Performed
by LeAnn
Rimes, it's a peppy track that's been remixed fabulously for the
dance floor as well; check out various versions, including this
YouTube moment, this
remix and this
one too.

Michael Joseph Jackson will always be the King of Pop. I was and still am a huge
fan of Elvis.

I found your site by Googling Diane Warren. And I am pleased I found it. Diane
Warren is the most amazing American country and pop music singer-songwriter whom
is so popular over here in the UK. The remix does much justice to this
sensational song!

Michael Jackson changed the world of music forever, and the music world will not
be the same without him. His music touched to many people all over the world.
RIP MJ!
