Dan McCafferty, the power-voiced founding frontman of Scottish rock band Nazareth, who sang lead on its Top 10 U.S. hit “Love Hurts,” FM staple “Hair of the Dog” and five Top 15 UK hits, died Tuesday. He was 76.
His longtime bandmate, bassist Pete Agnew, revealed the news on social media. “This is the saddest announcement I ever had to make,” he wrote on the group’s Facebook page. “Maryann and the family have lost a wonderful loving husband and father, I have lost my best friend and the world has lost one of the greatest singers of all time.”

Manny Charlton, the founding guitarist of Nazareth who played on the Scottish rock band’s best-known records, including “Love Hurts”, its LP Hair of the Dog, and also produced early Guns N’ Roses demos, died today. He was 80. His grandson, Jamie Charlton, posted the news on social media with the caption “Rip Grandad.”
Charlton cofounded Nazareth in 1968 with singer Dan McCafferty, bassist Pete Agnew, and drummer Darrell Sweet. The band found success in the UK with its 1973 third LP, Razamanaz, produced by Deep Purple’s Roger Glover. It reached No. 11, and spawned a pair of Top 10 singles in Great Britain, “Broken Down Angel” and “Bad Bad Boy.” Its follow-up disc, Loud and Proud, arrived that same year and hit the Top 10, spurred by another hit single, “This Flight Tonight.”

Rock star excess hit its peak in the 1980s. It went beyond the bad behavior of throwing televisions out of hotel rooms, or the decadent pleasures of mud sharks and Mandys. The Beatles, who were the biggest band to come out of the rock and roll era, set standards for excess, beating Elvis’s Pink Cadillac tour when they thought about buying their own Greek island. Their success was ensured by their producer, George Martin, who allowed the band to exceed the limits of the Emi studios they created music in. Gracie Otto’s documentary Under the Volcano is the story of how Martin’s post-Beatle career enjoyed greater heights by finding an entirely new level of indulgence. For the second time in his career, the “fifth Beatle” exceeded all expectations about how to produce a sound.
Martin bought an island in a tropical paradise, and turned it into a sonic Shangri-La.

Just to count it off, Peter Frampton’s Do You Feel Like I Do? A Memoir is as much fun as hearing a talking box guitar solo for the first time. Live and with an audience, of course. Each of Frampton’s best-known albums, either with his bands like Humble Pie or in his solo career, are live records. He may also love the studio albums he made, but just like The Who, whose studio albums he loves, those records are a different breed from a live show. Frampton should know, one of the first gigs he ever got was touring as an opening act for The Who.
And, as much fun as they were to see on stage, even their live shows paled when compared to ducking bottle rockets Keith Moon and John Entwistle aimed into his motel windows between shows. Frampton had fun, and it comes across on...

Deep Purple’s 21st studio album Whoosh! comes with dire warnings and dry wit, all propelled by one of the tightest still-working bands playing today. The record was produced by the legendary Bob Ezrin, who helped Pink Floyd build The Wall, taught Tim Curry to Read My Lips, and brought suspense to the Alice Cooper discography. For their third collaboration, Ezrin invited Ian Gillan, Roger Glover, Ian Paice, Steve Morse, and Don Airey back to Nashville, where Deep Purple recorded 2013’s Now What?! and 2017’s inFinite.
The first single off the album, “Nothing At All,” is a cautionary observance on what people have done to the planet we’re renting short-term. The second single, “Man Alive,” casts a worried glimpse into the future. The single “Throw My Bones” takes on time and space. The music videos for each of the songs feature a Spaceman sitting in for the band.

A visitor from a far-off place wanders through the modern world in the new video for Deep Purple’s “Throw My Bones,” the first single off of the band’s upcoming album, Whoosh!, out June 12th.
“Throw My Bones” finds the hard-rock pioneers in fine form, mixing crunchy riffs and heavy drums with eerie synth trails, as frontman Ian Gillan ponders the fate of the world, singing, “All I’ve got is what I need/ The bets are off, as far as I can see/ Why should I walk into...

Deep Purple is one of the most influential rock bands of all time. Along with Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath, they completed the “unholy trinity” of 1970s British hard rock sound. The group will release their 21st studio album Whoosh! on June 12. The album reunites the band with legendary producer Bob Ezrin, who worked with the iconic band’s last two albums.
Whoosh! comes four years after Deep Purple’s induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Ian Gillan, Roger Glover, Ian Paice, Steve Morse, and Don Airey “putting the Deep back in Purple.” They wrote and recorded Whoosh! in Nashville on an invitation from Ezrin, renowned for producing definitive albums for Pink Floyd, Alice Cooper, and Tim Curry. The first album they collaborated on was So What?! (2013), which hit Number 1 in five European countries, as hit the Top 10 in over 15 countries worldwide. The second, inFinite (2017), broke chart...

Over 20 years after helming an episode of America’s Most Wanted -- yes, that long-running docuseries hosted by John Walsh -- director Greg Yaitanes is back in the true crime world following his transition into prestige TV with House, Grey’s Anatomy, Lost and most recently, Cinemax’s Banshee and Quarry. Now, he’s the showrunner of Discovery Channel’s anticipated new anthology series, Manhunt, which debuts its first season, Unabomber, on Tuesday, Aug. 1.
The first season follows FBI agent and criminal profiler James “Fitz” Fitzgerald (Sam Worthington) as he pioneers new forensic linguistics to find and ultimately capture Ted Kaczynski (Paul Bettany), the nation’s deadliest serial bomber in history. The 8-episode series written by Andrew Sodroski (scribe of Holland, Michigan, which topped Hollywood’s 2013 Black List) offers a perspective of the FBI’s hunt not often seen.

The Peabody award-winning The Leftovers concludes on Sunday, June 4 and through its three seasons, the show has become just as acclaimed for its music as its incredible story, writing and acting.
While the HBO series is no stranger to change (season one's opening titles used an original piece by composer Max Richter, and season two used Iris DeMent's "Let the Mystery Be"), season three has gone even further, adapting the theme song to each episode. "[It was showrunner] Damon Lindelof's decision," music supervisor Liza Richardson tells Et by phone, adding that the music choices on the series vary between her and Lindelof's allegiance to certain artists, love of repetition and the desire to "surprise."

Iron Fist has finally been released, and if I can get away with it today I will attempt to give Spoiler-free'ish updates throughout the day! I have been waiting for this for awhile, and while we have seen nothing but negative reviews, it is up to us, the readers, for the final decision!
Episode 01 + 02
The first episode has a very "Bruce Wayne returns" type of feel to it, as Danny Rand shows back up after being missing and presumed dead for most of his life, after training in a mystical place that "can't be reached from here." The Meachums kids have taken over the company after their father's death from cancer, but it should actually be Danny's company. Rand does not seem to want money, just some answers. He attempts to go to a Dojo to train, which doesn't work as planned. At the end we get a surprise as someone is still alive.

Making enemies of the most powerful bastards in the land is finally taking its on the devil James Delaney. Episode six left our anti-hero at his lowest ebb. He’s lost his ship, been betrayed, was almost drowned by the ghost of his mother and now looks to have been framed for murder.
I say framed because if Delaney really did kill Winter—the little mudlark whose death warrant was signed the moment she started talking starry-eyed of her dream of escaping to America—he’d have to resign as this show’s lead. We’re on board with the sister-shagging and villain-disembowelling, but drunkenly murdering a poor kid? They’d have to change the name from Taboo to Pure Evil.

Martin Garrix is back this week to release the sixth episode of his ongoing video series The Martin Garrix Show. It’s been about four months since the producer dropped episode five and the latest entry marks a bold return as he offers up a thirty minute backstage pass into his life on the road as one of the biggest DJs in the world.
Episode six kicks off with some enticing rehearsal footage of Garrix and Bebe Rexha preparing for a performance of their song “In The Name Of Love” on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. We also get some insight into the producer’s deal with Sony Music, his stint at Amsterdam Dance Event and footage of him launching his custom fashion line.

Last week’s episode of The Walking Dead ran for a whopping 85 minutes, giving us ample time to get even more acquainted with Negan and see how he’s going to be making life quite difficult for Rick and co. as the season goes on.
While the extended runtime may have caused some excitement amongst fans at first, as it turns out, it didn’t really add a whole lot to the outing, instead feeling more like padding to sell additional ad space.

While the extended runtime may have caused some excitement amongst fans at first, as it turns out, it didn’t really add a whole lot to the outing, instead feeling more like padding to sell additional ad space. Hopefully, that won’t be the case when the show airs its sixth and seventh episodes, as we’ve now learnt that they’ll come in at 70 and 90 minutes, respectively.

The Missing series two has chosen to show its hand early. At the end of episode five, it revealed its culprit with three hours of story remaining. There are still plenty of questions to be answered as it ties up the dangling plot threads, and much to explain about how series two’s plot strands are connected, but we know who took the girls. And it’s someone nobody had their eye on.

Warning: Spoiler alert! If you haven’t watched Tuesday’s episode of This Is Us, you will be heartbroken if you read on. So save this page and come back once you have! Everyone else, you may proceed.
The mystery of Jack has been solved.
This Is Us answered the show’s biggest question in heartbreaking fashion on Tuesday’s episode, revealing that the Pearson patriarch, who had been noticeably absent in the present, is dead. (Cue all the tears!)
“It’s a pretty big answer,” Milo Ventimiglia, who plays Jack in the past, tells Et of his character’s fate. “Now comes all the questions, now comes all the speculation. For all of us on this side of things, now comes the moment where we get to open the story up and really let people into the lives of Jack and Rebecca and the kids.”

Donald Glover’s “Atlanta” is one of this season’s hottest and most buzzed about shows. Chronicling the lives of two cousins Earn Marks (Glover) and Alfred Miles (Brian Tyree Henry), the series follows the duo as they try to make it in Atlanta’s hip-hop scene. The drama’s sixth episode, “Value,” is a special one for Glover as it marks his TV directorial debut. Check out the first teaser of the episode below, which airs October 4.

Episode six changes the perspective from the main three male characters to the point of view of its main female character, Van (Zazie Beetz). In the clip she’s seen at the doctor’s office trying to pass a drug test.
“I directed an episode that was Zazie’s character Van-centric,” Glover said during the show’s Television Critics Association panel in August.

Follow along or flee in fear. Here there be spoilers! Catch up on Episode Six, 'Blood of my Blood' over here. ************************** [8:57Pm Edt] - Tonight's episode is called 'The Broken Man' which has to be the vaguest episode title yet, as it could apply to approximately 1,000 characters. Is it Jon? Theon? Tommen? Jaime? Edmure? The Three-Eyed Crow? Benjen? Bran? Jorah? All of them? Probably all of them. The only person it definitely isn't is the Blackfish.

On Episode Six of Project Runway All Stars, the designers had two days to create couture gowns inspired by their time at Medieval Times, and more specifically, the baroque period. There was a special prize for the winner this week; the chance to co-design a look for the upcoming Marchesa collection. Couture isn?t easy to do in two days, but most of the designers managed to step up to the task. Here is my ranking of the looks from worst to best. As always, tell me your thoughts in the comments.

Eric’s return to Leyland promises to cause some major drama in tonight’s episode of American Crime, but he’s not the only character that will be dealing with trouble. In fact, as the photos and description for “Episode Six” seem to indicate, this all-new hour could be one of American Crime‘s most intense episodes of the season. So what can fans expect from “Episode Six”? In addition to Eric’s return to Leyland, which many of his teammates aren’t happy with, Chris “finds himself being vilified” after a fight breaks out between Hispanic students and a black student, with only the Hispanic ones being

Episode six begins with Mark Boal being absolutely shocked that General Kenneth Dahl’s debrief of Bergdahl (which just covered what led to his decision to walk off the post, not his captivity) was over 300 pages long. “What did you do, tell him every fucking meal you had while deployed?” jokes Boal during a call with Bergdahl — who, for his part, seems amused by Boal’s shock. It’s a great way to kick off an episode that deals with just that: the surprising amount of context that most people probably aren’t even aware exists in the Bergdahl case, specifically the frustrations of an average grunt on the front lines of the Global War on Terror. “He wanted to understand who I was as a person,” Bergdahl says of General Dahl. “I needed to explain where it began.”As a former Infantry grunt myself, this was an episode after my own heart.

What our writer said:
“Clip shows are traditionally seen as ways to save money, building a flimsy narrative framework of nostalgia-fuelled new footage around flashbacks to previous episodes. Somehow, Dan Harmon's shows usually manage to put more effort into spoofing this type of episode than any other episode.

In the opening minutes of the pilot for USA’s Mr. Robot, superhacker Elliot Alderson (Rami Malek) meets with the shifty proprietor of a chain of coffeeshops. Over the course of their conversation, Elliot reveals the flaws in his cybersecurity—flaws that enabled Elliot to uncover this fellow’s immense cache of child pornography. The topic shifts: Who is Elliot? What does he want? Money? Before long, though, Elliot heads out and the cops storm in to mete out justice. That, it would seem, will be the blueprint for Mr. Robot: the story of yet another maladjusted genius with One Weird Trick for solving crimes while disregarding the rules, man. He’ll track down hidden bad guys, overcoming his obvious social awkwardness and seemingly timid nature, and expose them to the world with the help of cutting-edge, buzzword-heavy technological innovation. After all, this is USA, the home of Burn Notice,...

Humans, Season One, “Episode Six”
Written by Sam Vincent and Jonathan Brackley
Directed by Lewis Arnold
Airs Sundays at 9 pm (Et) on AMC
After a lacklustre outing, last week’s episode of Humans bounced back by intersecting a number of character trajectories. This week’s episode continues the upturn in quality by delving into the history of a number of characters, shedding further light on their present-day actions and what drives them. The result is a solid episode that moves a number of storylines forward, setting up new character dynamics along the way before the departure of a notable character.
The look into the creation of Leo Elster and the synths that form his group go a long way towards explaining their story and adding a layer of empathy to their situation. Knowing not only that David gave consciousness to synths to provide a family for Leo,...

Contains spoilers for Gotham season 1.
As Wreck It Ralph taught us all, being a ‘bad guy’ doesn’t make you a bad… guy. However, too many bad guys can make for bad TV. When there are more evildoers on our screens than the plot can service, how are we meant to focus on the hero? Where are we meant to look for future clues if there’s a new adversary every week?
Shows like Arrow, The Flash and Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D. have all suffered from over-stuffed-ness at one stage or another, but no contemporary comic book show struggles more with this than Gotham. In season 1 alone we had appearances from countless corners of Batman’s rogues’ gallery, with a new one cropping up on pretty much a bi-monthly basis.

Failure is infinitely more interesting to watch than success, as this week’s tense, surprising episode of Mr Robot shows…
This review contains spoilers.

You have to hand it to Mr Robot; it understands the deal with stakes. Like a parent who knows they have to follow through with a punishment or any future threats become meaningless, the show couldn’t let Elliot keep winning impossible games. At some point, he had to lose.
But did he have to lose through Shayla? It’s 2015. The disappointingly hack trick of slaughtering the lead’s girl to motivate/punish him is so widely critiqued there are entire sites devoted to it. You’d think this smart, knowing show would do better to avoid the obvious.
Shayla’s entire trajectory on the show, from her first entrance to winding up dead in the trunk of a car, felt stale.

The moody, humid, and mysterious Lynch-ian undertones of “True Detective” are a lot more muted than some would like to suggest. Episode six, “Church In Ruins,” briefly tapped another sinister atmosphere, with some elusive nods to “Eyes Wide Shut." Leaving formalism aside for a moment, it may have been one of the best episodes of the season thus far––full of genuine anguish, a welcomed sense of humor and a nerve-racking ending that rivals the intense shootout of episode four, but with less chaos. This episode was more controlled, but still chock full of shit hitting the fan. Of course, this is a relative “best,” if it is one at all; there are certainly still problems, but it’s a compelling watch. Stylistically and tonally, the episode begins in an opposite world. Full of standoffs, it picks up just moments after last week; Ray Velcoro (Colin Farrell) is livid and wants answers.

The last time we tuned in to 660 on the radio dial, we heard a chilling tale of the dead coming back to life. The latest broadcast of King Falls Am digs deeper into the town's horror-centric history with special guest Howard Ford Beauregard III, though co-host Ben doesn't agree with the self-proclaimed historian's "facts" about the past.
Hosted by Sammy Stevens (formerly known as Shotgun Sammy from the Bj & Kazoo Morning Show) and Ben Arnold, King Falls Am is a late-night radio talk show that broadcasts out of small-town America and covers a wide range of eerie topics that are right at home on the "Listen" section of Daily Dead. Expect to hear new broadcasts of the show on the 1st and 15th of every month, and you can listen to the sixth broadcast right now!

Bill Murray hits all the right notes – at least comedically – in the hilarious first trailer for Rock the Kasbah. The veteran actor stars as Richie Lanz, a washed-up rock tour manager who drags his last remaining client (Zooey Deschanel) on a Uso tour in Afghanistan, where the performer robs him blind and abandons him without his passport. Through a series of bizarre events, he discovers a talented singer (Leem Lubany) and manages her through the singing competition Afghan Star. "There's got to be a reason for this," Murray says in the clip.

We chat to Peter Harness, writer of Doctor Who and Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell, currently airing on Sunday nights on BBC One...
Writer Peter Harness is currently on a roll. After attracting praise for his work on Wallander, his Doctor Who episode Kill The Moon brought him to more mainstream attention. But it’s his current work which should propel him to the A-List of British writing talent, a place fully deserved. Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell, the 800+ page period fantasy novel, considered by many to be unadaptable, has debuted as a TV series on the BBC to rave reviews (not least on this site).
One of the adaptation's key strengths is the streamlined nature of the script, which still captures perfectly the world and characters created by novelist Susanna Clarke. For that, Perter Harness must earn the plaudits. Proving to be a very charming and clever guy, he took the...

Welcome back, “Daredevil” fans. If you’re just joining us, head over here to see what I thought — literally — about the first three episodes of Marvel and Netflix’s inaugural team-up. With “Daredevil” eschewing the traditional format of television by releasing the entire first season at once, recapping becomes a bit tricky. Binge-watch the entire series in one go and I risk spoiling everything and being stoned in the digital streets. But binge-watch too slowly and I morph into a Slowpoke Pokemon. So I’m splitting the difference! Over the next couple of weeks, I’ll be giving my thoughts on Marvel’s “Daredevil” in all their stream-of-consciousness glory. Follow along! Or don’t.

After weeks toying with the audience, teasing then backing away from genre elements and using the visual language of horror, sci-fi, and creature features, Fortitude commits in a big way with the viscerally disturbing climax of “Episode Seven”. Shirley’s attack of her mother is telegraphed somewhat, but that does nothing to prepare audiences for the intensity and transfixing horror of her actions, or her lack of remorse afterwards. It would seem Shirley doesn’t live there any more, hollowed out to make room for whatever spewed what looks to this critic like a clutch of eggs into Shirley’s mother’s (still living, let us not forget) body.

Claire spent the episode demonstrating the many and varied ways she could be the Sandbrook killer. First, she took out her post-eviction stress on a box of Cornflakes in a violent tantrum that almost certainly lost Hardy his deposit from Massive Cottages For Hobbyist Witness Protection Programmes R Us. Next, she and Lee punctuated their angry, abusive sex with vague comments alluding to how they “had a plan” and “can’t do this”. And...

Gracepoint, Episode 7, Season 1, “Episode Seven”
Written by Anya Epstein and Dan Futterman
Directed by Ali Selim
Airs Thursdays at 9pm (Et) on Fox
“They hounded that poor man to death.”
“Episode Six” of Gracepoint ended with Jack (Nick Nolte) driven to suicide after the small town learned of his past arrest for statutory rape and assumed that he was Danny Salono’s murderer. While the character’s decision might not have been a complete surprise it was still heartbreaking to see a relatively innocent man persecuted by a modern day lynch mob feel as if he had no other place to go.
The episode begins with the townspeople and police quietly reassessing their hasty judgment of Jack but terrifyingly a good number of the townspeople don’t seem to upset Jack is dead. Rather than looking at themselves, Paul (Kevin Rankin) and the rest of the town turn their attention to Carver.

Gracepoint is now in the back half of its freshman run, and the mystery’s end is muddled as ever. The characters have become increasingly compelling, however, and the plot has thickened. This week, the murder suspect list did not decrease in size. Mark and Beth Solano are independently reaching their breaking points. The investigation is giving the facade of progress, but it’s not really getting anywhere. Jack Reinhold is in it deep. Tom Miller meets the creepy lady (Susan. Finally figured out her name). A Lot is happening in Gracepoint, just not any mystery solving. The acting is growing increasingly stronger as the series progresses. I’m a huge fan of Michael Pena, Kevin Rankin has been brilliant every week, and David Tennant and Anna Gunn have been strong with each passing episode. However, the big acting Mvp of this week has to be Nick Nolte. His portrayal of Jack Reinhold has…...
