THE WEEKEND STARTS HERE:

... with THE CLASH! Live at the Capitol Theatre in Passaic, NJ, March 8, 1980 (regardless of what the uploader claims).  Your London Calling-era setlist includes: "Clash City Rockers", "Brand New Cadillac", "Safe European Home",  "Jimmy Jazz", "London Calling", "Guns of Brixton", "Train In Vain", "White Man in Hammersmith Palais", "Koka Kola", "I Fought the Law", "Spanish Bombs", "Police and Thieves", "Stay Free", "Julie's Been Working on the Drug Squad", "Wrong ‘Em Boyo",  "Clampdown",  "Janie Jones", "Complete Control", "Armagideon Time", "English Civil War", "Garageland",  "Bankrobber", and "Tommy Gun."

CUTOUT BIN: From the B-52s to Otis Redding, from Meat Puppets to the Selecter, from Cheap Trick to the Housemartins, plus the Kinks, Dandy Warhols, Rolling Stones, XTC, Smokey Robinson and more -- this Friday's fortuitous finds are now streaming from the Pate page at the ol' HM.

NOW SHOWING: This weekend's wide releases are Captain America, which is currently scoring 71 percent on the ol' Tomatometer; and Friends With Benefits, currently scoring 57 percent.

CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE FIRST AVENGER was a good, if not great summer movie, but an important one leading to The Avengers next summer.  Not great, because some of the moments director Joe Johnston clearly intended to have great oomph or emotional resonance fall a little short.  Also, the script lacks a bit of clear exposition early on about the threat posed by the villainous Red Skull and his Hydra agents.  Good, because Johnston nails the essence of Steve Rogers, America's first super-soldier. Also -- perhaps most notably -- this a rollicking movie.  It probably has more laughs than any Marvel flick (the first two Spidey movies and Iron Man have their share, when you think of it).  Tommy Lee Jones and Stanley Tucci in particular get plenty of laugh lines. However, you never get the feeling that the movie is a joke.  Do you want to stay to the end of the credits? Oh, yes... you certainly do.
