Originally started one dark in the early '90s as a way for some of the members of the Finnish alternative rock banding Kumukameli to pass the time after a show, Eläkeläiset took popular songs and added a traditional Finnish humpah (or oompah) element to them, albeit with modern instrumentation. With Onni Varis on keyboards, Lassi Kinnunen on piano accordion, Martti Varis on bass, Petteri Terävä (wHO was later on replaced by Petteri Hanonen), and Jouni Hukka on drums (world Health Organization was by and by replaced by Kristian Voutilained), and all bandmembers contributive to vocals, Eläkeläiset experience released numerous albums, including 1995's Humpan Kuninkaan Hovissa; 1996's In Humppa We Trust -- Live!, which showcased the exuberance of their live show; 2000's Humppa-Akatemia; and 2003's Humppaelamaa, the first base of the band's records to include exclusively original material.

DC Comics' "Red" getting big-screen treatment

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Summit Entertainment is entering the comic-book adaptation business, picking up the movie rights to WildStorm/DC Comics' "Red," which revolves around a former CIA agent.


The project marks the first time that a DC Comics title is leaving parent company Time Warner's fold. Still, DC will remain an active participant in its adaptation.


The three-issue comic series, published in 2003, told the story of a former black-ops CIA agent now living a quiet life in retirement until the day a high-tech assassin shows up intent on killing him. With his secret identity compromised and his love interest in danger, the man must reassemble his old team to figure out who is after them. The book was written by Warren Ellis.


Brothers Erich Hoeber and Jon Hoeber are writing the action film. Their adaptation involves the idea of an older operative who's set in his ways and must contend with younger and more fit agents as well as modern techniques and technology.

Phoebe: The Price Is So Wrong

A-list nobody Phoebe Price may have finally found a way to make herself memorable -- taking a picture of her loose, pasty, anatomically incorrect backside!

Phoebe, age unknown, took time out of her busy schedule of standing outside the Ivy begging anyone to take her photo -- to flash her congealed body, while doing something resembling a cartwheel on the beach this weekend. She's not ready for her closeup.

Carl Barat: 'I'll recover in time to play Glastonbury'

Carl Barat has declared he will play this weekend's Glastonbury festival - despite being rushed to hospital last week (June 17).

The Dirty Pretty Things frontman was diagnosed with a acute pancreatitis after suffering from stomach pains. However he is now on the mend, and is confident he'll play this weekend's (June 27-29) festival.

"I am feeling much better, almost as good as I ever do. Its not as bad as I thought, it appears that the pancreatitus was probably caused by a combination of the medication I was talking (for congestion that I still get after my ear operation) and maybe the odd drink too many," Barat told NME.COM.

"I was discharged from hospital at the weekend, which was liberating," he added. "I have been told to take it easy this week and I shan't be over exerting myself, which may be difficult as the LP is out next week and there are rehearsals to be had. Anyways, as long as I behave I should be right as rain before you know it. We play in Switzerland on Saturday and then I will be doing an acoustic set at Glastonbury on Sunday (June 29) (for Jail Guitar Doors/Real Fits). Got to go, things to do � slowly�"

NME.COM will be bringing you full coverage from this year's Glastonbury � including news, pictures, blogs and video interviews -
live from Worthy Farm, so if you're not at the festival make sure you're here.

Ting Tings didn't know how to work an amp

The Ting Tings singer Katie White forgot to turn on her guitar amp before her first live show.

Jules De Martino, drummer for the chart-topping group, admitted that their first gig was a disaster.

"We did our first proper gig at the Birmingham Barfly," he told the Daily Star. "It was where Katie picked up the guitar for the first time - but she couldn't get a sound out.

"She had to ask the audience what to do and they shouted back: 'Turn the amp on.'"

De Martino added that his off-the-cuff recording techniques helped contribute to The Ting Tings's sound.

He said: "I was sticking cheap microphones on the floor to record my drums and Katie was sat singing on a chair with a pneumatic drill going off outside.

"I didn't care if it was wrong as long as it sounded good."

Tom Hanks - Strike Looms As Sagamptp Talks Stall

The Screen Actors Guild and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers
are expected to return to the bargaining table again today, but many observers are
suggesting that the two sides are barely going through the motions of bargaining.
On Friday, SAG leaders claimed once again in an update to members that the AMPTP had
refused to match the union's concessions. The AMPTP, in turn, accused SAG of stalling
so it could devote all of its energy to persuading AFTRA members to vote down a separate
deal with the AMPTP negotiated by their leaders. The AFTRA vote is due to be announced
on July 8, more than a week after the current SAG and AFTRA contracts expire on June
30. On Friday AFTRA National Executive Director Kim Roberts Hedgpeth called SAG's
efforts "a disgrace" and took issue with SAG's notice to AFTRA members that rejection
of the contract would not mean a strike. "The notion that one can reject a hard-fought
contract, which exceeds industry 'pattern,' without backing it up with the courage
of your convictions, is absurd," Hedgpeth said. Meanwhile, Tom Hanks, who SAG recently
identified as an opponent of the AFTRA contract, added his name to a letter by other
prominent AFTRA members who also are members of SAG calling for ratification of the
agreement. The letter called it "a very good deal."
