Nina Simone was one of the most gifted vocalists of her generation, and also one of the most eclectic. Simone was a singer, pianist, and songwriter who bent genres to her will rather than allowing herself to be confined by their boundaries; her work swung back and forth between jazz, blues, soul, classical, R&B, pop, gospel, and world music, with passion, emotional honesty, and a strong grasp of technique as the constants of her musical career. Nina Simone was born Eunice Kathleen Waymon in Tryon, North Carolina on February 21, 1933. Her mother, Mary Kate Waymon, was a Methodist minister, and her father, John Divine Waymon…

The Donnas are an American all-female rock band from Palo Alto, California. They draw inspiration from The Ramones, The Runaways, AC/DC, Bachman–Turner Overdrive and Kiss. Rolling Stone has stated that "the Donnas offer a guileless take on adolescent alienation; they traffic in kicks, not catharsis, fun rather than rage". Allmusic.com has stated that the band offers "a good old-fashioned Rock & Roll party". After gathering a cult following in the punk scene since their 1993 debut, the band achieved major label commercial success in the early 2000s and afterward.

The Last Days of Disco (1998)
A Film by Whit Stillman
DVD9 | VIDEO_TS | NTSC 16:9 | Cover+Booklet | 01:53:47 | 7,52 Gb
Audio: English AC3 5.1 @ 448 Kbps | Subtitles: English SDH
Genre: Comedy, Romance | The Criterion Collection #485

The Last Days of Disco is a clever, comic return to the nighttime party scene in early eighties Manhattan from director Whit Stillman (Metropolitan). At the center of the film’s roundelay of revelers are the icy Charlotte (Kate Beckinsale) and the demure Alice (Chloë Sevigny), by day toiling as publishing house assistants and by night looking for romance and entertainment at a premier, Studio 54-like club. The Last Days of Disco is an affectionate yet unsentimental look at the end of an era, brimming with Stillman’s trademark dry humor.

There are ""supergroups,"" and there are super groups. Purposeful Porpoise is the latter. In a digital age where flagging recording budgets typically mean that bands don't all head into the recording studio together for live recording sessions, it is now more the norm that a band may record a whole album without ever being in one room at the same time. Musicians are able to record their own parts, send them off to a producer/engineer for mixing and mastering and through the magic of digital technology an album is done. But thats not how Purposeful Porpoise does things. Purposeful Porpoise founder and lead guitarist/vocalist/composer Alex Cora envisioned something different for this Los Angeles- based, progressive rock, concept band.
