Bernie Mac, "Original King of Comedy"

Bernie Mac blended expressive style, authority and a touch of self-conscious bluster to make audiences laugh and connect with him. For Mr. Mac, 50, wHO died Saturday, it was a taking mix that delivered him from a poor puerility to stardom as a stand-up comic, in films including the casino rip-off caper "Ocean's Eleven" and his acclaimed sitcom "The Bernie Mac Show."



Though his comedy drew on tough experiences as a mordant man, he had mainstream appeal, befitting inspiration he found in a blanket range of humorists: Harpo Marx, Moms Mabley, Red Skelton and Redd Foxx.



Mr. Mac died from complications of pneumonia in a Chicago-area hospital, said his publicist, Danica Smith. A public monument is planned for noontide Aug. 16 at The House of Hope church in Chicago, Smith said.



"The world precisely got a little less funny," said "Ocean's" co-star George Clooney.



Don Cheadle, another member of the "Ocean's" gang, concurred: "This is a very sad sidereal day for many of us who knew and loved Bernie. He brought so much joy to so many. He will be missed, simply heaven precisely got funnier."



Mr. Mac � born Bernard Jeffrey McCullough � in 1983 contracted sarcoidosis, an autoimmune disease that bathroom affect the lungs, merely had aforementioned the status went into remission in 2005. He recently was hospitalized and treated for pneumonia, which his publiciser said was not related to the disease.



Mr. Mac worked his way to Hollywood success from an impoverished bringing up on Chicago's South Side. He began doing hold water as a child, and his cinema career started with a small role as a club doorkeeper in the Damon Wayans comedy "Mo' Money" in 1992. In 1996, he appeared in the Spike Lee dramatic event "Get on the Bus."



He was one of "The Original Kings of Comedy" in the 2000 documentary of that title that brought a new multiplication of black stand-up comedy stars to a wider audience.

He also had starring roles in "Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle," "Friday" and "Transformers."



But his life history and funny identity were forged in television.




In the late 1990s, he had a recurring role in "Moesha." Critical and pop acclaim came after he landed his own Fox series "The Bernie Mac Show," around a child-averse couple of a sudden saddled with three children.



Mr. Mac made a different kind of TV pappa, "more Ike Turner than Dr. Spock," Chris Norris wrote in a 2002 profile for The New York Times Magazine. Mr. Mac's particular style of tough love � "I'm gonna bust your head till the white meat shows," he warned his surly teenaged niece � set the show asunder from other family sitcoms and raised a few eyebrows. But audiences saw enough of the character's soft midpoint to find the evince touching.



Mr. Mac incorporated aspects of his stand-up do in the TV show, and during each episode would break the "fourth wall" and address the audience. On one usher, he swiveled in his chair and said, "Now America, tell me over again, why can't I whip that girl?"



"The Bernie Mac Show" exhibit ran for five seasons, and Mac received deuce Emmy nominations for salient lead worker in a comedy series in 2002 and 2003. The series won a Peabody Award in 2002.

"I came from a place where there wasn't a draw of joy," he aforesaid in 2001. "I distinct to try to name other masses laugh when there wasn't a circle of things to laugh about."

Death Cab for Cutie - Narrow Stairs

Narrow Stairs is Death Cab for Cutie's 7th Studio Album


Despite stealing their name from the Beatles movie, Death Cab for Cutie aren�t exactly sixties pop. Sure, at times their lyrics (as well as their sound) could easily be related to certain late Beatles� songs (think Yellow Submarine) but over their ten year history Death Cab have certainly come into their own indie/soft pop niche. Their newest studio album �Narrow Stairs� was released in May, with their already US released first single �I Will Possess Your Heart� getting selected airplay in New Zealand and Australia.
After an epic and somewhat controversial (amongst fans) introduction to their first single from the album �I Will Possess Your Heart�, the listener can be excused for thinking that Death Cab have lost the plot. Following on from previous albums such as the highly successful �Plans�, DCFC appear to have deviated from the usual safe alternative sound some fans appreciate. Thanks mainly to the TV show The O.C, Death Cab gathered a massive amount of teenage fans for their almost emo-like music. �Narrow Stairs� takes the band (and the fans) to the next level and such a different definitive album will separate the die hards from the try hards.
The first few songs give an impression of a quick catchy set of songs. However the middle dries up, by taking a completely unexpected turn with slower than usual rifts and interludes. �Talking Bird� especially takes on a much slower, almost bored feel and, if it wasn�t for Ben Gibbard�s animated voice, could double as a two year old�s lullaby. �You Can Do Better Than Me� has Ben sounding like Ben Folds mixed with Tim Freedman before it flows right into the next song �Grapevine Fires� which has a swaying, sleepy like quality to it. For me, the stand out song from the album is �Long Division�, with its catchy heavier chorus and funny yet sad lyrics; it could easily be the next single. The final song �The Ice is Getting Thinner� has a familiar rhythm to �Bixby Canyon Bridge�, giving the album a sense of coming full circle.
The album takes a dangerous step into the unknown and not exactly popular genre of music. What starts off as easy listening with exciting clashes of piano and guitar, dips into the softer, mellower sounds in the middle before popping its head back up for a jazzy ending. Not quite the album you�d consider for Saturday night grooves or speeding on the freeway but if you�ve got a few close friends coming over for wine and nibbles before a game of Pictionary, put this in your CD player. Also works quite well while getting ready for bedtime.
