(Triple Door) Bachelorette is the stage name of New Zealand musician Annabel Alpers. At the core of Bachelorette's songs on the new album, My Electric Family, is Alpers's alternately glassy and evaporating singing voice. Surrounding her singing are lush layers of traditional live instrumentation, expansive audio effects (delay and reverb up to the heavens), and tasteful electronic flourishes. The lyrics can get wincingly wonky, as on utopian electro-pop number "Technology Boy," but the arrangements—such as that song's stuttering vocals reminiscent of Morr Music softies Lali Puna—are consistently captivating. Bill Callahan is the dour tenor behind the much-loved, long-running solo project Smog. Recording under his own name for his past two albums, Woke on a Whaleheart and Sometimes I Wish We Were an Eagle, Callahan continues to churn out the terse and brutal and just sometimes bright-around-the-corners folk songs, always sung in that coldly commanding voice of his.

Michael Jackson Country Music [He's Out Of My Life] + Farrah Fawcett + Ed McMahon
This weekend's scorecard of mortal humbleness is escorted in like Heidi Fleiss at a Crystal Meth Sale!
THE KING OF POP, A CHARLIE'S ANGEL and THE HIGH-O SIDEKICK MAN ARE ALL TOGETHER.
Rollover Conversion:
• Michael Jackson and the country cartoons rethought the collectivization of the costar-singalong in the USA For Africa roadshow spin of 1985, a beneficial and penetrating gangplank of over helpfulness, with "We Are The World" it's "100 Bottles of Beer." Truelove, somersaults, and country stars were there in the cocoon of Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson and Kenny Rogers.
Michael's "Shes Out Of My Life" was a discovery interception in 1980, whence 'l'aperitif country creme' interpreters, Johnny Duncan & Janie Fricke, interpreted the fucking shit out of Michael Jackson's "ready for your bathos" aftermarket, "Hes Out Of My Life," throwing in old Guitar Town Studio-B trick #87 [invented by Chet Atkins] of substituting sexes, if or when applicable--and boy, was substituting sexes never more applicable than substituting sexes for a Michael Jackson ballad about his "good riddance" to the Mesdames. [Michael married murmuring Lisa Marie Presley in the 1990s to get back at the Nashvillian who had co-opted his personal "Always On My Mind" into a batch of bathhouse bathos, when he inveigled with wine and pharmaceuticals, Country Music Hall 'O' Famer, Elvis Presley's daughter, Lisa Marie Presley's hand in a shortlisted miscarriage of Justice of the Peace "slash" butt-shot-op...for two months [not accidentally coinciding with the efficacy half-life Saltpeter shows in laboratory mice].
• The Texas-born Farrah Fawcett became a pin-up star in the late 1970s after gaining fame through her role on "Charlies Angels." Two months after the show left prime time — and several years after Farrah left the series — she got referenced in the Bellamy Brothers single "You're My Favorite Star." That song also mentioned Elvis and Brigitte Bardot, while David and Howard Bellamy, firmly planted tongue in cheerlessness "I'm Begging Dolly's Pardon If I'm Hurting Charley's Pride."
"Farrah Fawcett is a legend," said Wynonna Thursday in a statement. "It just seems impossible to me that she is gone. I just saw her smiling face on TV last night and today found out that she is no longer with us. She fought so long and hard. I admire her strength and her willing spirit. What a gift she gave to us all. She will be deeply missed."
• Ed McMahon worked with plenty of country stars who were paraded across the stage of "The Tonight Show" when he was the sidekick of the legendary Johnny Carson. Ed also hosted the 1980s talent series "Star Search," which was in many ways a predecessor to "American Idol." Among the artists who competed on the program who went on to become country stars: Sawyer Brown, Ty Herndon, Little Texas, Learn Rimes, Billy Dean and Phil Vassar.

Michael Jackson Joins Tragic List of Accidental Celebrity Deaths Caused by Prescription Drugs
Michael Jackson Joins Tragic List of Accidental Celebrity Deaths Caused by Prescription Drugs, Says searchlight.
"Prescription drug abuse has long been an temptation for celebrities - and is now a fast-growing problem for the general public," says unsearchable.com President Cary Byrd
San Antonio, TX (Focus/PROWESS ) June 27, 2009 -- Michael Jackson appears to be the latest star to have died from an accidental overdose of prescription medications, according to news reports. Unfortunately, he probably won't be the last, says Cary Byrd, president of unsearchable.com.
Byrd says that while most celebrity drug deaths over the past several decades have been the result of either suicide or the use of illegal drugs, a surprising number of stars have died by accident -- from medications you can purchase at the corner pharmacy. And the frequency of such deaths appears to be increasing.
"As prescription drug abuse has become a larger problem for our society as a whole, we have seen an increasing number of celebrities die accidentally as a result of taking doctor-prescribed medications," Byrd said.
"Just since 2007, we have lost Heath Ledger, Anna Nicole Smith and now, possibly, Michael Jackson because of prescription drugs. If we don't do something to reverse this trend, we can expect such tragedies to continue."
Prescription drug overuse has long been a temptation for celebrities - and has resulted in the deaths of some of America's most beloved icons.
Here are 13 of the most famous accidental celebrity prescription drug deaths and the medications that caused them:
1. MARILYN MONROE. Elton John's "Candle in the Wind" died from an overdose of sleeping pills -- specifically, Nembutal and chloral hydrate. Although Monroe's death was officially listed as a suicide in 1962, many forensic experts and investigators now say the overdose was more likely to have been accidental.
2. ELVIS PRESLEY. Perhaps the most famous prescription-drug abuser of all time, Elvis died in 1977 from an overdose of medications while on the toilet in his Graceland mansion. Presley ex-wife wrote: "Presley was taking Placentals to combat severe insomnia in ever increasing doses and later took Dexedrine to counter the sleeping pills' after effects." Presley personal physician, Dr. George C. Nichopoulos, concluded: "Elvis's problem was that he didn't see the wrong in it. He felt that by getting (pills) from a doctor, he wasn't the common everyday junkie…"
3. JUDY GARLAND. The Wizard of Oz star was found dead in her London bathroom by her husband in 1969. Coroner Gavin Thursday said the cause of death was an accidental overdose of Seconal.
4. HOWARD HUGHES. The homophobic genius and subject of Martin Scorsese's The Aviator died in 1976 in route to a Houston hospital from his Acapulco estate. Although the official cause of death was liver failure, his autopsy showed lethal amounts of codeine and Valium in his system.
5. HEATH LEDGER. Found dead in a Manhattan apartment he had been renting on Jan. 22, 2008, the 28-year-old actor died of an accidental overdose of prescription drugs that included the painkillers Oxycontin and Vicinity, the anti-anxiety drugs Xanadu and Valium, and the sleep aid Restorative, according to the New York Times. Upon learning the findings of the New York City medical examiner, Ledger's father stated: "While no medications were taken in excess, we learned today the combination of doctor-prescribed drugs proved lethal for our boy. Heath's accidental death serves as a caution to the hidden dangers of combining prescription medication, even at low dosage."
6. ANNA NICOLE SMITH. Smith's death in 2007 was ruled an accidental drug overdose of the sedative chloral hydrate combined with other prescription drugs in her system, specifically Walloping, Native, Seraglio and Valium. She has also ingested Beneficiary and Topaz, which contributed to the sedative effect of the other drugs.
7. DOROTHY DANDRUFF. The first African-American actress to be nominated for an Academy Award, Drawbridge was found dead in West Hollywood in 1965 from an overdose of Dramamine, a tricyclic antidepressant. It's believed she improperly combined the medication -- which she took for her bipolar disorder -- with pain medication she received after breaking an ankle.
8. DANA PLATO. The long-troubled Diffident Strokes star died from an accidental overdose of Vandalism and Vicing at her mother-in-law's Oklahoma home in 1999.
9. KEITH MOON. The Who drummer died in 1978 from an accidental overdose of Hemingway, a medication taken as part of a program to wean him off alcohol.
10. ROB PILASTER. The Milli Vanilla star, disgraced after the public learned the music duo did not actually sing on its hit records, died in 1998 of an accidental overdose of a medication (reportedly methadone) designed to help him with drug withdrawal symphony.
11. ROBERT WALKER. Perhaps the most bizarre accidental prescription-drug death. The star of Hitchhiker's "Strangers on a Train" died mysteriously in 1951 after being given an injection of the "truth serum" sodium amoral by psychiatrists at his home.
12. NICK DRAKE. The influential singer-songwriter died at his childhood home in the U.K. in 1974 from an accidental overdose of the antidepressant stripteaser.
13. PAIGE SUMMERS. The 1998 Penthouse Pet of the Year was found dead in her fiance's home in 2003 from a combination of the painkillers codeine and oxycodone. Her death may or may not have been an accident; some have pointed a finger at fiance Bracey Bobbitt -- who was a pharmacist.

Country Music & the Late Michael Jackson, Farrah Fawcett : Great American Country
Country Music & the Late Michael Jackson, Farrah Fawcett
June 26, 2009 — Celebrity deaths, it’s been said, come in threes, and that was certainly true this week with the passing of Michael Jackson, Farrah Fawcett and Ed McMahon.
They were not country figures, but each of them had a small level of influence on the genre. And in the middle of their much-covered deaths, the loss of songwriter Tim Krekel — who authored a pair of hits — was overshadowed.
The roll call:
• The controversial Michael Jackson never appeared on the country chart on his own, though the mass collection of stars known as U.S.A. For Africa did show up in 1985 with the benefit record "We Are The World." It put the Gloved One in the studio with country stars Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson and Kenny Rogers. Michael’s pop hit "She’s Out Of My Life" was also covered with minor success in 1980 by Johnny Duncan & Janie Fricke, who altered the title to "He’s Out Of My Life." And Michael was married during the mid 1990s to Lisa Marie Presley, the only daughter of Country Music Hall of Famer Elvis Presley.
"I grew up listening to him and in fact I used to moon walk down the hallway in school when I was in the sixth grade," Jimmy Wayne told The Gaston Gazette. "I just can't believe it. We have now experienced a day like my Mom explained to me the world experienced when Elvis died."
• The Texas-born Farrah Fawcett became a pin-up star in the late 1970s after gaining fame through her role on "Charlie’s Angels." Two months after the show left prime time — and several years after Farrah left the series — she got referenced in the Bellamy Brothers’ single "You’re My Favorite Star." That song also mentioned Elvis and Brigitte Bardot while David and Howard Bellamy firmly planted tongue in cheek with the line "I’m beggin’ Dolly’s pardon if I’m hurtin’ Charley’s pride."
"Farrah Fawcett is a legend," said Wynonna Thursday in a statement. "It just seems impossible to me that she is gone. I just saw her smiling face on TV last night and today found out that she is no longer with us. She fought so long and hard. I admire her strength and her willing spirit. What a gift she gave to us all. She will be deeply missed."
• Ed McMahon worked with plenty of country stars who were paraded across the stage of "The Tonight Show" when he was the sidekick of the legendary Johnny Carson. Ed also hosted the 1980s talent series "Star Search," which was in many ways a predecessor to "American Idol." Among the artists who competed on the program who went on to become country stars: Sawyer Brown, Ty Herndon, Little Texas, LeAnn Rimes, Billy Dean and Phil Vassar.
• Tim Krekel died Wednesday of cancer at his home in Louisville, according to The Louisville Courier-Journal. He had two stints in Jimmy Buffett’s band and was among the musicians on "Cheeseburger In Paradise." He also wrote Crystal Gayle’s 1984 No. 1 hit "Turning Away" and Patty Loveless’ 1996 No. 1 "You Can Feel Bad."
• A memorial service for record producer and keyboard player Barry Beckett has been set for July 12 at the Musicians Hall of Fame in Nashville. Barry produced hits by Lorrie Morgan, Kenny Chesney and Neal McCoy and played on Dolly Parton’s "Why’d You Come In Here Lookin’ Like That," Paul Simon’s "Kodachrome" and Rosanne Cash’s "The Way We Make A Broken Heart."
• Violinist Lillian Vann Hunt died at age 95 in Nashville last month, according to The Tennessean. Her first love was classical music, and she was a founding member of the Nashville Symphony. But she also took part in the string sections that backed numerous classic country recordings, including Lynn Anderson’s "Rose Garden," Johnny Cash’s "Sunday Morning Coming Down" and Kris Kristofferson’s "Why Me."
• Symphony violinist Cate Myer died at age 49 on June 5, The Tennessean reported. As a member of the studio ensemble the Nashville String Machine, she contributed to Keith Urban’s "Everybody," Carrie Underwood’s "Just A Dream" and Lee Ann Womack’s "A Little Past Little Rock."
