PATE REUNION:  Jon, Mike & Jon (and we hope Ron) will be retaking a stage somewhere near Iowa State University on July 5th, 2013, just one short decade after their last reunion gig.  Clear your calendar for something transcendent, a train wreck, or both!  If you're on the Facebook, check in with the event page.

PATE frontman Jon Pratt, preparing for the reunion, gives "She's So Special" a bit of an Americana/Rockabilly vibe.

THE FLAMING LIPS advance stream The Terror.

THE WHO: "Anyway, Anyhow, Anywhere," live in '65.

THE ANDANTES finally get their due. The trio, almost always anonymously, sang on more songs than any other group at Motown. They were the female and vocal equivalent to the Funk Brothers, the label's house band that itself was largely anonymous in its time but gained acclaim through the 2002 documentary film, "Standing in the Shadows of Motown."

THE ROLLING STONES: Charlie Watts talks Glastonbury, Hyde Park, Altamont, Lady Gaga and more at The Guardian.

WEEKEND BOX OFFICE: Smart PR from Bruce Campbell helped the rebooted Evil Dead top the chart with 26 million --perhaps a bit less that ne reboots of Nightmare on Elm Street or Texas Chainsaw Massacre, but darn good for a franchise without an iconic villain.  The 17 million buget dwarfs the original's 400K, but this still ought toprovide a fine ROI for Campell, Raimi and Co.  The Croods and G.I. Joe: Retaliation are in an estimated tie for second at 21.1 million apiece, with the former crossing the 100 million mark in just 13 days, suggesting a finish near 200 million domestic (an amount it has aleady raked in overseas).  G.I. Joe continues the lag the original, but not by all that much.  Jurassic Park 3D takes the fourth slot with 18 million -- but that's pretty good for what is essentially a rerelease intended to boost interest in a fourth installment next year.  Olympus Has Fallen to round out the Top 5 with 10 million; its 70 million domestic total just about covers its budget now.  Below the fold, the latest Tyler Perry plummeted in its second weeken, per usual, while Oz the Great and Powerful gave a leggy showing and has racked up about a quarter-billion world wide.

JURASSIC PARK, btw, probably didn't need a 3-D conversion; it didn't benefit all that much from the tech.  But it was still nice to see it again on the big screen.
