    What Art Must Have Felt Like & Sookie Stackhouse Book Covers


    MondayMacy at 'All Things Said' blog talks about the great Sookie book cover art!

    This is another installment on my Sookie Stackhouse book obsession. :P I’m totally in love with the book covers and I haven’t been in love like this–on book covers! It’s art. It’s whimsical. It makes me dream. I think it perfectly captures the mystical world of Sookie Stackhouse. Not terrifying, but not ordinarily safe either. It’s not cartoon, but it’s not realism either. It’s magic. It’s love. If ever I have enough money, I will collect all her Sookie Stackhouse prints.

    True Blood and the drama behind " Bad Things " and the music for the opening credit

    C.C. Adcock, a New Orleans Jazz Festival presented by Shell favorite, came very close to snagging the opening-credits music on the HBO series "True Blood."
    The Saturday Creating Music for Film and Television at the Sync Up Conference, which is running parallel to the New Orleans Jazz Fest.

    Gary Calamar, music supervisor for the show, told the story to a Sync Up Conference audience Saturday (April 24) at the New Orleans Museum of Art.

    As fans of "True Blood" know, the series has one of the best opening-titles sequences currently on the tube.

    Hypnotic visuals by Digital Kitchen.

    Jace Everett's "Bad Things."

    Grr.

    "Bad Things" was originally discovered by "True Blood" creator Alan Ball, but was considered just a temporary track as the opening titles sequence neared completion.

    "It was a placeholder," Calamar said. "It was my job to find the song."

    One of the songs seriously considered for the slot was Adcock's "Bleed 2 Feed," which Adcock had personally submitted for the production's consideration.

    "He's a great musician and a great - I don't know if hustler is the right word -- hustler in the best sense of the word," Calamar said.

    Alas, "Bad Things" won out.

    Vampire Wine

    In plenty of vampire lore the description of a vampire tasting blood is similar to a mortal drinking wine. There is a fine bouquet that you find alluring — that first enchanting sip that rolls over your tongue whetting your appetite and the sensual experience of discovering the fusion of fruits, spices and exotic flavors.

    It is an activity that needs to be savoured and relished. It takes a mature, evolved palate to really understand the intricacies of imbibing a glass of delectable wine. So it makes sense that true excellence would be produced by creatures that have been around for centuries, the vampires.

    I discovered Vampire wine over a decade ago. Ever since then, whenever I have the opportunity to travel, I scour the liquor stores looking for this beloved, luscious, ambrosial liquid. Of course the packaging appeals to my gothic senses and I think the bottles are precious keepsakes, but that is not why I love to drink it. It is the best wine I have ever tasted but — no wonder — they have been making wine for ages. They are bound to do it perfectly.

    "The Oprah Winfrey Show" set to air its "Twilight"-themed episode

    With "The Oprah Winfrey Show" set to air its "Twilight"-themed episode on Friday (April 23), we can already imagine the talk-show host introducing the cast in her trademark vowel-hugging inflection: "Taay-LOR LAUT-ner! Kris-TEN STEW-art!" Or maybe, "Ro-BERT PATT-inson!" But Twi-Hards will have to wait until the show airs to find out for sure.
