Playlist of the Day: Stick-on Sex Drive

A patch that boosts sexual desire in women is available in France, Germany, and now the UK — but the prudish FDA has rejected it here, stating concern that it might be abused. Um, isn’t that the point? “Sex Drive,” Grace Jones “I Believe In Miracles,” Jackson Sisters “Medicinal Sweetheart,” Wannabes “Can’t Buy Me Love,” The Beatles “Orgasm Addict,” Buzzcocks

John Lennon Biopic “Nowhere Boy” Grabbed by Weinstein Company

Photo: Michael Ochs Archive/Getty Nowhere Boy, a biopic about John Lennon’s childhood, has been picked up by the Weinstein Company, Variety reports. The project is two weeks into filming with Aaron Johnson, who played the young Ed Norton in The Illusionist, in the role of Lennon and English Patient star Kristin Scott Thomas portraying the Beatle’s aunt, who battled Lennon’s mother Julia for custody. The film will examine the effects each woman and their custody fight had on the young musician. Variety says the movie will also laser in on Lennon’s bond with Paul McCartney, and concludes when the Beatles leave Liverpool and head off to Germany. Taking its title from Rubber Soul’s “Nowhere Man,” Nowhere Boy will be directed by Sam Taylor Wood, who helmed the Buzzcocks-inspired Love You More, with a screenplay penned by Joy Division biopic Control writer Matt Greenhalgh. The screenplay was based on the memoir written by Julia Baird, Lennon’s mother. “The story of John Lennon’s childhood has never been told, and now Beatles fans will be able to gain insight into his fascinating life,” Weinstein Company president of theatrical films Tom Ortenberg said in a press release. The company plans to release the movie in time for consideration for awards season, with a wider release to follow in January 2010. According to a press release issued by the Weinstein Company that appears in full at Variety, the film’s full synopsis is: “John Lennon is an ordinary fifteen year old boy on the streets of Liverpool. Funny, smart, naughty, a real edge to him. But life is not simple for John — he grew up in a family of secrets and was raised by his Aunt Mimi from the age of five. When he is suddenly reacquainted with his mother, Julia, they form an unbreakable bond. A bitter war rages between the two sisters for John’s love. Faced with bringing it to an end, he learns the secret heartbreak of his past. But his mother gives him one great gift — music. A wayward boy finds his voice, and walks

SOUNDTRACK: De Novo Dahl Is Having The Best Week Ever!

(ED NOTE: “Soundtrack” will be a new recurring feature in which we tell you more about the music heard in each episode of Best Week Ever. This week, we dive into "Move Every Muscle, Make Every Sound," the second full-length LP from De Novo Dahl) "Move Every Muscle, Make Every Sound" is not the tagline for the new Michael Bay Flashdance remake, but rather the latest album from the pop-tastic De Novo Dahl, a Nashville-based quintet with the heart of The Buzzcocks, the soul of Air, and the matching striped shirts of a bona fide, catchy-ass indie band. The group's songs bear the same insistence on having fun as, say, an Andrew W.K. album, only without the threat that he'll knee you in the groin if you don't immediately start partying. "Be Your Man" is everything you're looking for in a dance mix candidate; simple, grinding guitar, a catchy-as-bleep chorus, and it's only a minute and fifty seconds, ending long before even the most awkward indiephile exhausts his full repertoire of sweet dance moves. "Shout" is just as catchy and much easier to dance to than the Tears For Fears song of the same name, and "Shakedown" gives the album a funky, almost Motown-ish depth. The multilayered, Arcade Fire vocals open the album in extremely familiar territory, but unlike your run-of-the-mill pop debut which has two good songs then you throw it on your iPod and forget about it until a year later when it comes up on Shuffle and confuses the hell out of you, De Novo Dahl's "Move Every Muscle..." actually continues being fun from the first minute all the way into its subdued final tracks (what nerve!) Or, to put it more concisely -- ummm......... More like, De YES-vo Dahl! Sorry, guys. Move Every Muscle, Make Every Sound is available now.
