The legendary country western singer/songwriter Merle Haggard died at the age of 79 on April 6th 2016 after battling pneumonia for several months. But that doesn’t mean the world won’t get new music from the music icon.
He has left behind several hundred unreleased songs for his adoring fans. He spoke with Broadways Electric Barnyard about his personal archives of songs “probably 300, 400 songs that I haven’t released that I’ve collected over the years.”

Haggard’s song writing and voice gave him a fan base that was very loyal throughout the years. His career spanned more than half a century and will survive beyond his death thanks to this treasure trove of new, previously unheard material.

The New York Pops concluded the final concert of its 2015-2016 season on April 8 at Carnegie Hall with a program celebrating the music of John Williams, the infamous film score composer whose soundtracks of films like Star Wars, Jaws and Close Encounters of the Third Kind have solidified him as one of the most well-known film composers of our time.
Quentin Tarantino’s Hateful Eight Movie Poster
Quentin Tarantino’s newest western is finally being released for home viewing. “The Hateful Eight,” starring Samuel L. Jackson, Kurt Russell and Jennifer Jason Leigh, will hit stores on DVD and on demand March 29th — though it is still available in some theaters across the country.
This is not Tarantino’s first western and hopefully it won’t be his last – Django Unchained could be loosely described as a romantic bloodbath – with Samuel L. Jackson turning out to be the ultimate bad guy. In this new movie Tarantino continues his signature moves of raw grit, straight talk and bloody massacred.
Tarantino writes this one almost like an Alfred Hitchcock film: we trust no one.

It has finally happened, true believers: Leonardo Wilhelm DiCaprio won an Oscar. For years, the Internet has made a mockery of DiCaprio, creating an abundance of funny memes and gifs that have chronicled the actor’s struggle with the Academy’s snubs. Starring in over two-dozen films, winning over 40 awards and nominated for six Academy Awards, DiCaprio was always a bridesmaid, never a bride.
In 2011, the Japan Tourism Agency created a PR campaign for their country. In the featured video of said public relations program, members from Japan’s popular singer group Arashi visit each Japanese sightseeing spot and mimic a fortune cat — purring and all — for comedic effect.
If you are like me, you truly appreciate the little things in life. Things like finding money in a coat pocket, waking up early and realizing you have more time to sleep and especially a good book turned into a great movie. Great content to pull from is what makes books turned films– like The Hunger Games, The Maze Runner and Divergent extremely popular.
But even with these aforementioned books turned films, we must ask ourselves, is the dystopian genre truly dead?
