On Second Thought, Shia LaBeouf�s �Indiana Jones� Spinoff Is a Pretty Crappy Idea, Says George Lucas

Back in May, George Lucas struck fear into the hearts of pretty much everyone familiar with Shia LaBeouf's acting work when he told a journalist, "I have an idea to make Shia [LaBeouf] the lead character next time and have Harrison [Ford] come back like Sean Connery did in the last movie. I can see it working out." Now, though, he seems to have changed his mind, hilariously telling an MTV reporter that the idea had "nuked the fridge." He continued: "Indiana Jones is Indiana Jones. Harrison Ford IS Indiana Jones � If it was [Shia's character] Mutt Williams it would be Mutt Williams and the Search for Elvis or something."

And as much as we'd actually sort of like to see Mutt Williams and the Search for Elvis or Something, we're pretty glad Lucas seems to have temporarily come to his senses. Could this have something to do with LaBeouf's recent DUI arrest? Or did Lucas finally get around to watching Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull? Either way, just as soon as he disowns the Star Wars prequels and the upcoming animated Clone Wars movie, we might actually be able to forgive the guy.

Sara Bareilles, Little Voice

Sara Bareilles is a 28-year-old singer songwriter whose career trajectory has been carefully nurtured following the signing of a major label deal three years ago. Before this she'd already recorded a self-produced album, Careful Confessions (2003). Already doing sterling business in the US, it's taken a year for this album to be finally released in the UK, possibly for fear that her album would be lost in the flood of female singer songwriters currently filling up the AOR airwaves. But Epic needn't have worried. Little Voice displays a more than competent grasp of pop dynamics, and Bareilles' voice balances sultry with strident impressively. While it'll leave the youth market cold, Bareilles' tough-but-tender confessionals and jaunty, multi-layered beatle-esque pop for grown ups (a la Jellyfish or Aimee Mann) should easily find a home in the hearts of more seasoned ears.

It's this aspect of Sara Bareilles' work - especially on Fairytale, Bottle It Up or Love Song - that will draw older listeners. The lush backing vocals, upbeat cynicism and clever, slightly psychedelic, loping arrangements hit the mark with ease. There are other odious comparisons to make of course - someone this new on the scene can't escape them - Fiona Apple for downers maybe, or Tori Amos without the irritating quirkiness? But the latter reference is probably more down to the fact that Little Voice is produced by Eric Rosse who helmed several of Amos' albums. The fact is that Bareilles is still finding her true vocabulary; the sonic pallette on display here is wiggling its behind and getting comfortable in one place. So apart from the worryingly mainstream fare like Between The Lines which has seen her matched in a support role to acts like Ben Folds, Maroon 5 or even Counting Crows there's the far more interesting r 'n' b twist that surfaces on tracks like Come Round Soon or the Benny And The Jets-meets-Hall and Oates blue-eyed confection, Love On The Rocks. Elsewhere Many The Miles demonstrates that she's best when being upfront about her own experiences with a slinky beat to coax her more distinctive vocal side.

There is a slight caveat emptor clause for faithful followers, as several of the tracks on offer here are re-recorded tracks that were on Careful Confessions (albeit vastly improved), plus the piano ballads like City or Gravity simply drag the pace too much, even though they never lapse into excessively maudlin introspection. Whether this kind of very American music will find an audience beyond the parameters of a Radio 2 audience remains to be seen. But for lovers of quality pop with a brain this is no little achievement.

Reunited James plays surprise L.A. show

By Dean Goodman


LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Reunited British rock band James,
who enjoyed cult success in America during the early '90s,
played their first U.S. concert in Los Angeles on Friday since
ending a lengthy hiatus last year.


The hourlong gig at Spaceland, a 260-capacity club near
Hollywood, showcased a handful of tunes from James' new album
"Hey Ma," including the anti-war title track.


The album will be released in the United States on
September 16 via Decca Records. It came out in Britain in
April, the band's first studio release since 2001's "Pleased To
Meet You."


James fell apart after singer Tim Booth quit at the end of
2001, and pursued a solo and acting career. Now living in Los
Angeles, he announced early last year that he would rejoin
James, and the band subsequently toured the UK and Europe.


Five of the Manchester band's seven members were in the
United States this week, primarily to play at an iTunes event
in San Francisco, and then at Los Angeles public radio station
KCRW-FM.


The Spaceland show was a last-minute addition to the
itinerary, but the budget-related absence of keyboardist Mark
Hunter and drummer David Baynton-Power forced the band to
improvise a bit during its ballad-heavy set.


"Even more than usual, we won't know what we're doing,"
joked Booth, who now resembles R.E.M. frontman Michael Stipe
after ditching his curly locks for a shaved head and goatee.


Besides "Hey Ma," which Booth said was about "the
over-reaction to 9/11" by President George W. Bush and former
UK Prime Minister Tony Blair, other new tunes included
"Waterfall," "Oh My Heart" and "Whiteboy."
