The Gonzo Tapes: The Life and Work of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson
The Gonzo Tapes: The Life and Work of Dr. Hunter S. Thompsonwas released by Shout! Factory on October 28. The 5-CD box set of previously unreleased recordings includes original cover artwork by Ralph Steadman, an introduction by film director Alex Gibney, and a 44-page booklet with never before seen photos from his estate.
Recorded by Thompson between 1965 and 1975, these tapes capture his thoughts and descriptions both as they’re happening and in reflection, as he would often go back to rerecord commentary. Filmmaker Alex Gibney, producer Eva Orner and Gonzo archivist Don Fleming were given permission by Thompson’s widow to explore the boxes of tapes stored in the basement of his Owl Farm home in Woody Creek, Colorado, left behind after Thompson’s suicide in 2005. Fleming transferred the audiocassettes and reel-to-reel tapes to digital files, and they made their way to the cutting room for the film Gonzo: The Life And Work Of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson.

With full-length versions of many classics, including “I Feel Good,” “Out Of Sight,” “Cold Sweat,” “Try Me,” “I Got The Feelin’,” “It’s A Man’s Man’s Man’s World,” “Bewildered,” and “Please, Please, Please,” I Got the Feelin’: James Brown in the ’60s is an essential part of any music lover’s collection.
Sports Night: The Complete Series 10th Anniversary
Debuting on ABC in 1998, Sports Night was an innovative half-hour program about a team of smart and likeable people who put on a daily live sports cable newscast, much like ESPN’s SportsCenter. This team is funny, disciplined, capable and fast-thinking—a group of consummate professionals, but in their personal lives . . . not so much. There they operate in apparent chaos, communicating every uncensored thought and feeling through a libretto of witty and honest chatter over the hum of the separate-but-integrated live show-within-the-show.
With breakout and memorable performances by Josh Charles (In Treatment), Robert Guillaume (Benson), Felicity Huffman (Desperate Housewives), Peter Krause (Dirty Sexy Money), Sabrina Lloyd (Sliders) and Joshua Malina (The West Wing), this was writer/producer Aaron Sorkin’s (A Few Good Men, The American President) first television series. And it was director Thomas Schlamme’s first collaboration with Sorkin. The pair, who would continue to click brilliantly with The West Wing and Studio 60 On the Sunset Strip, may not have known it at the time, but with Sports Night they defined a new style and raised the bar for all television programs to follow.

Unearthed on a far-away planet during a mining operation, the relic is worshiped by some, even seen as proof of God.

Their screams CAN be heard in space … but only the slashers are listening.

Smashing Pumpkins - "If All Goes Wrong" DVD available Nov 11th
Coming Home Mediawill release If All Goes Wrong, a double DVD commemorative package celebrating the recent reunion and extraordinary 20-year career of The Smashing Pumpkins, one of rock's defining and most acclaimed bands, on Nov. 11th.
Directed and produced by Jack Gulick (Bruce Springsteen, Metallica, Steve Miller Band, Godsmack) and Daniel E Catullo III (Steve Miller Band, Godsmack, Rush, Dave Matthews Band), the two DVD set contains the 105-minute documentary, also titled If All Goes Wrong, plus The Fillmore Residency, a full concert filmed in late July and early August of 2007 over five of the 11 sold-out nights at the famed Fillmore Auditorium in San Francisco, CA.
The concert disc was captured in 5.1 Surround Sound and state-of-the-art high definition from 12 cameras and features seven all new tracks not available anywhere else, along with new versions of fan favorites and a selection of Pumpkins rarities.
From the opening note to the final chord, the documentary If All Goes Wrong showcases a band returning with an “enveloping epic force” (Los Angeles Times) as it traces The Smashing Pumpkins during their 19-show residency, which began with eight shows at Asheville, NC’s Orange Peel in late June and continued through 11 sold-out nights at San Francisco’s famed Fillmore Auditorium. Interviews with band members, fans, journalists and fellow musicians reveal the fears, excitement, determination, exhaustion and tension inherent in main singer-songwriter and lead guitarist Billy Corgan and his newly revitalized musical unit.
“We went into the residencies hopeful to play some new music, with the idea I would write during the day and we could maybe even play new songs that same night,” Corgan comments. “What I didn't anticipate is how much the process would inspire me, positively and negatively, to report what I was seeing and feeling from the shows. The documentary shows that process in an interesting way that reveals the link between the band and our audience.”
The documentary also includes Voices Of The Ghost Children, a featurette about the band’s fans, and an interview with The Who’s legendary guitarist and songwriter Pete Townshend as bonus material.
The concert portion of the If All Goes Wrong, entitled The Fillmore Residency, runs 115 minutes and includes seven of the almost 20 all-new compositions the band composed and performed exclusively during the residencies that are available exclusively on this release. With 15 songs in all, the concert - captured in 5.1 Surround Sound and state-of-the-art high definition from 12 cameras - showcases the band as they explore the freedom afforded to them in a live setting, including the 30+ minute opus “Gossamer”. Along with the new tracks, the concert also includes alternate versions of fan favorites and a selection of Pumpkins rarities. The Fillmore Residency also includes five songs recorded live from the floor of The Fillmore that gives fans an intimate glimpse of the band as a performing entity.
Formed in Chicago in 1988, The Smashing Pumpkins have sold over 30 million albums since releasing Gish, their influential (and platinum) debut in 1991. More platinum and multi-platinum albums followed, including the nine-time platinum Mellon Collie And The Infinite Sadness and the four-time platinum Siamese Dream. The pivotal group’s many hits include “Disarm,” “Today,” “Cherub Rock,” “1979,” “Tonight, Tonight” and “Bullet with Butterfly Wings” – songs which defined the alternative music era and continue to resonate on modern rock radio, influencing a whole new generation.
The Pumpkins contributed multiple songs to various compilations before releasing Adore, Machina/The Machines of Godand Machina II/The Friends & Enemies of Modern Music prior to their break-up in 2000. They returned in 2007 with their gold-certified and acclaimed sixth album Zeitgeist, a powerful rebirth and reaffirmation of the Smashing Pumpkins by two of its key members, Corgan and drummer Jimmy Chamberlin, now joined by Jeff Schroeder (guitar), Ginger Reyes (bass) and Lisa Harriton (keyboards). Earlier this year, The Smashing Pumpkins were inducted into Hollywood’s RockWalk, and this month became the first band to record a new song exclusively for Guitar Hero®.
Coming Home Media this year also released the Platinum-selling The Steve Miller Band: Live From Chicago, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Top Music Video charts amid across-the-board critical acclaim and wide media attention.

ZOË VISION/ANTHEM ENTERTAINMENT TO RELEASE RUSH DVD SNAKES & ARROWS LIVE ON NOVEMBER 25
MUSICIANSHIP HIGHLIGHTED, EXTRAS ABUNDANT
September 22, 2008 - Burlington, MA - Zoë Vision/Anthem Entertainment is pleased to announce the release of the Snakes & Arrows Live DVD on November 25 from the legendary rock trio RUSH. This 3 disc DVD set, also available as a Blu-ray Disc, follows their Zoë Vision DVD releases Rush-R30 (2005) and Rush in Rio (2003).
The Snakes & Arrows Live DVD (full track listing below) was filmed with 21 High Definition cameras in 16x9 widescreen format, over two nights in October 2007 at the Netherlands' Ahoy Rotterdam arena during the renowned rock trio's lengthy world tour. Additional SD footage was filmed in Atlanta this past July. The five month trek supporting Rush's critically acclaimed 2007 studio release, Snakes & Arrows, which includes the Grammy® Award-nominated track, “Malignant Narcissism,” topped Pollstar's Top 100 2007 Tours list at #12.
While previous DVD releases showcase different sides of the band , this DVD offers fans a rare and close up look at the prodigious musicianship for which the band is renown. Cameras follow bassist and vocalist Geddy Lee, guitarist Alex Lifeson and drummer Neil Peart, closely, capturing not only their playing, note for note, but also the intimacy they share on stage. The diverse track list includes many new songs from Snakes & Arrows as well as old favorites like “Tom Sawyer” and “Freewill” plus an explosive rendition of “Between the Wheels.” Among the hidden gems and numerous special tour moments included as extras is the fan coveted “What's That Smell” vignette and outakes, a skit used to intro the second set, which capitalizes on the still emerging comedic talents of both Alex and Geddy who excel (and revel) in their roles as wild characters. Featuring collector's quality packaging and a choice of Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound or PCM Stereo for a superior audio experience, the DVD was mixed by frequent collaborator Richard Chycki (Aerosmith, Mick Jagger). Total running time is 221 minutes.
Snakes & Arrows made a triumphant debut on the Billboard 200 upon its release May 2007, entering the chart in the #3 spot. The album's popular success marked Rush's highest chart debut since 1993, as well as the group's eleventh top ten album in the U.S. Snakes & Arrows also debuted at #3 in the band's native Canada and at #13 in the UK - the band's highest British chart ranking in 16 years. In addition, the album premiered in the top ten in Sweden and Finland, and in the top twenty in Norway, the Netherlands, and Japan.
Since releasing their self-titled debut album in 1974, Rush has been universally regarded as one of the most inventive and compelling groups in rock, famed for virtuoso musicianship. Celebrated, critically acclaimed and respected worldwide, Rush is the most successful Canadian rock band of all time and they remain one of the biggest grossing arena rock bands ever. Their extraordinary body of work - which includes such acclaimed works as 1976's 2112, 1981's Moving Pictures, 1996's Test for Echo, and 2002's Vapor Trails - has achieved worldwide sales exceeding 35 million units.

DEATH BY … LOVE? New Book by Driscoll and Breshears Examines What Killed Christ and Why It Matters
Wheaton, IL—Accidental death. Biological warfare. Suicide. Death by hanging. Murder. Television and video games have acquainted us, as a culture, with many of the countless ways to die. But Death by Love: Letters from the Cross explains a death that is still alien to us no matter how many times we’ve seen it portrayed—divine crucifixion.
The manner of Jesus Christ’s death by crucifixion, though, is less astounding than the purpose of it. Death by Love, a unique look at the twelve primary effects of Jesus’ death, is written as a series of pastoral letters that gradually unfold the all-encompassing reality of the cross. Co-authors Mark Driscoll and Gerry Breshears skillfully bring hurting people back to the loving and life-changing purpose Christ’s death. The letters from the cross are genuine and conversational because they are responses to real people and real sin.
Driscoll, one of America’s most influential pastors, and Breshears, a respected theologian, explain that Christ’s death has real-life implications for AIDS, demonic oppression, adultery, divorce, molestation, and suicidal ideation—for every manner of sin committed by or against a person. Each chapter includes a brief description of the life story of the person to whom most of the chapter is written, a letter to the person explaining one aspect of the cross and how it applies to him or her, answers to common questions about issues raised in the chapter, and discussion questions.

LEADERS: BORN, MADE, OR RAISED?
New Book from Crossway Examines the Role of the Church in Leadership Development
Wheaton, IL—“Are leaders born or made?” Educators, businessmen, politicians, and church leaders find themselves asking this question. According to pastor and author Harry Reeder, leaders are born and made. And this is why the church is called to faithfully and regularly raise them up.
In The Leadership Dynamic, Reeder offers a time-tested, biblical model of leadership development that prepares churches to produce leaders not just for the church but for all spheres of society. “The true test of a leader,” according to Harry Reeder, “is not how many followers he has but the strategic effectiveness of the other leaders he develops and deploys.” That model of developing and deploying church leaders in ever-increasing waves is at the heart of The Leadership Dynamic.
Beginning with the examples of Jesus and Paul, Reeder presents a model of multiplication that intentionally and continuously raises up other leaders. With its three-pronged approach to leadership development, this book guides readers through a time-tested paradigm that works in real life and is fully grounded in Scripture. The principles, personal illustrations, and practical ideas it contains will effectively equip leaders and the church for their task of transforming first the body of Christ and then our culture.
New Book Blog Extends Ministry of Crossway
Wheaton, IL—With more and more readers turning to the Internet for news about books, Crossway has launched a dedicated blog to provide such content. Crossway.blog (www.crossway.org/blog) will keep visitors up-to-date about new releases and old favorites from Crossway Books.
The aim of Crossway.blog is to provide readers with timely, useful, and interesting information about books and authors. While new releases will be featured prominently on the blog, the web site will also expose readers to the continuing dialogue and ministry that happens in conjunction with backlist titles.
“The publication of a book may be a one-time event, but it has a ripple effect that the public often doesn’t know about,” says Marketing Director James Kinnard. “Our books are about lives and ministries and vital messages, and we trust that Crossway.blog will help us communicate the ongoing effects of these resources.”
By posting or pointing to content such as author interviews, new release information, sample chapters, preorder campaigns, and other news, Crossway.blog will extend the rich ministries of Crossway’s books and authors. The blog will also serve as a ministry portal by directing readers to the blogs and web sites of various Crossway authors.
A blog (or web log) is a web site that is regularly updated and provides commentary or news on a particular subject. Blogs combine text with images and links to other media content and usually allow readers to comment on the information posted. Comments are enabled on Crossway.blog.
Crossway’s first blog, dedicated to the ESV Bible, was established in April 2005. The ESV Bible Blog (www.esv.org/blog) recently celebrated its 500th post and now has about 1,500 RSS subscribers. The New York Times recently highlighted the ESV Bible Blog’s post on the visualization of New Testament social networks (www.esv.org/blog/2008/09/social.networks.nyt).
Crossway is a not-for-profit ministry and an international leader in the publication of Christian books, the ESV Bible, and gospel literature.

Trusted Teachers from Spurgeon to Keller Welcome Christ in New Advent Anthology
Wheaton, IL—Editor Nancy Guthrie wanted more than vague inspiration and interesting anecdotes when she began her search for an Advent anthology. She wanted a reflective book of Advent readings that would help her to pause—amid the purchasing of presents, attending of parties, and planning of travel—and consider the riches of Christ come to earth.
Guthrie sought a book that brought together the best pieces by trusted authors and pastors who hold a high view of Scripture and who would show her the incarnation in the context of God’s unfolding plan of redemption. So when she could not find such a book in the vast Christian marketplace, she embarked on what she calls a “sacred adventure” and compiled it herself.
Come, Thou Long-Expected Jesus is an anthology of Advent readings collected from the writings and sermons of 22 classic and contemporary theologians and Bible teachers. This special volume draws from the works and sermons of classic theologians such as Whitefield, Luther, Spurgeon, and Augustine and from leading contemporary communicators such as Tim Keller, John Piper, Ligon Duncan, Randy Alcorn, John MacArthur, Francis Schaeffer, R. C. Sproul, and Joni Eareckson Tada to help readers enter into the wonder of Jesus’ incarnation and birth.
Each essay in this solidly biblical anthology expounds on a particular aspect of the Christmas story and includes the appropriate Scripture passage from the ESV Bible. Come, Thou Long-Expected Jesus is sure to awaken your heart to a fresh experience of the coming of Jesus each and every Christmas season.

An All-New Movie on Disney DVD and Blu-rayTM Hi-Def October 28 Reveals Tinker Bell’s Origins and the Magical Role of Fairies in Nature
BURBANK, California, May 29, 2008 –For the first time in history, Tinker Bell, one of the world’s most beloved animated characters, will speak in an all-new original film that reveals many of life’s wondrous mysteries of nature. From two-time Academy Award® winner John Lasseter, Chief Creative Officer of Walt Disney and Pixar Animation Studios, and the storytellers at Walt Disney Pictures, comes a spectacular, full-length CG animated movie filled with magic and adventure. Tinker Belltakes flight on October 28, 2008 with a treasure trove of captivating bonus features on Disney DVD and Blu-rayTM Disc.
Introducing extraordinary new characters, Tinker Bell is enhanced by an impressive voice cast widely acclaimed for performances on stage and screen. Mae Whitman (Independence Day, One Fine Day) gives Tinker Bell her first true voice, and Emmy® and Golden Globe® Award winner America Ferrera (Ugly Betty) provides the voice of the mischievous Fawn, an animal fairy. Five-time Image Award honoree Raven-Symoné (College Road Trip) fills the illuminating role of Iridessa, a light fairy; Tony® Award winner Kristin Chenoweth (Pushing Daisies) offers the elegant tones of Rosetta, a garden fairy; and two-time SAG Awardee Lucy Liu (Dirty Sexy Money) plays Silvermist, an endearing water fairy. In addition, singer-songwriter Jesse McCartney lends his voice to Terence, keeper of the pixie dust, and Academy Award® winning actress Anjelica Huston (Prizzi’s Honor) reigns over Pixie Hollow as the voice of Queen Clarion.
Long before Peter Pan and the Lost Boys soared into Never Land, the world’s most beloved fairy and her friends were creating their own special magic. For the very first time in film, Tinker Bell opens the doors to Pixie Hollow, a secret hideaway deep in the heart of Never Land, where the Disney Fairies make their home.
Have you ever wondered how a flower gets its color…or pondered the source of a dew drop … or contemplated from where rainbows originate? It’s all the work of fairies! This landmark motion picture from DisneyToon Studios reveals the story of Tinker Bell’s early life in the fantastic world of Pixie Hollow. Each fairy is born with a special talent, whether it’s making flowers grow, giving fireflies their light or tracing beautiful patterns into a winter morning’s frost. Tinker Bell thinks her fairy talent as a “tinker” isn’t as special or important, because tinkers don’t go to the mainland like the other fairies. But when Tink tries to change who she is, she creates nothing but disaster! With encouragement from her friends Fawn, Iridessa, Rosetta and Silvermist, Tink learns that the key to solving her problems is found in her unique abilities … and discovers that when you stay true to yourself, magical things can happen.
