There will be a free 20th anniversary screening of Singles this weekend in Saturday in Seattle. The 1992 film will kick off Fremont Outdoor Movies’ 20th anniversary of their summer series. More details can be found over at their official site. In case you wondering, Cameron will not be in attendance, but I’m hoping to attend. Let’s hope for some sunshine this weekend in the Emerald City…

In honor of Billy Wilder’s birthday and the fact that his classic film, The Apartment, turned 52 years old this past week, we present a new article. Cameron wrote about his affinity for this film in an article entitled “Billy & Me” for the UK newspaper, The Guardian.
If you haven’t seen it, please pick up the Blu-ray that came out earlier this year.
Kind of ironic after the post earlier this week, but I just found out that the Ritzy Picturehouse in Brixton, UK will be playing a double feature of Almost Famous and Harold and Maude this weekend! The showing will be Sunday, June 17th. More details over at their official site.
As you may know, Cameron is a big fan of Harold and Maude, Hal Ashby’s 1971 cult classic starring Bud Cort and Ruth Gordon. Criterion has recently released the film on DVD and Blu-ray and we wanted to bring it to your attention. If you haven’t seen it, we urge you to give it a look. The disc is also filled with some great extra features.
More new Journalism to share with you today as Cameron chats with Emmylou Harris in this June 19,1975 interview for Rolling Stone. Topics include her history, her first major solo album Pieces of the Sky, Gram Parson’s impact and much more.

A new addition to the Journalism section today as Cameron profiles Led Zeppelin’s Physical Graffiti tour in this Rolling Stone article from May, 1975. In this piece entitled “Led Zep Conquers States, ‘Beast’ Prowls to the Din of Hordes”, you’ll find some vintage Robert Plant and Jimmy Page quotes as the band wraps up their North American trip.
To celebrate today’s birthday of the one and only Steve Nicks, we thought you might enjoy revisiting the 1977 Rolling Stone cover story on Fleetwood Mac. It’s an interesting time in the band’s history as they were about to explode with the release of the seminal Rumors. It’s a cover story that Cameron is very fond of and we hope you like it too.
Welcome to another edition of Inquire Within… Through your submissions, Cameron will answer your questions in his own words.
Adam Labat.: Are either of Nancy Wilson’s scores for Almost Famous and Vanilla Sky ever going to be available in their entirety like it is for Elizabethtown? I really dig those cues and would love it if they were available for public consumption.
Cameron: We love getting this question. Nancy’s scores really complemented those movies, and the process of sculpting the cues was a joyful process. In the case of Vanilla Sky, thanks to Jeff Greenberg at The Village Recorder, Nancy was holed up for months turning out whole soundscapes… much ended up in the movie, and much did not. We have a busy release slate for this year but both of those film scores are never far from our minds and we hope to have them out very soon. In the meantime, you can listen to or download “Cabin in the Air” from Almost Famous as a taste of things to come.
Please send in your questions for Cameron and maybe yours will be part of a future installment of Inquire Within…
