HP, Intel Team Up with DreamWorks to Create ‘How to Train Your Dragon’

DreamWorks Animation SKG, well known for such hit movies as the Shrek series, Madagascar, Monsters and Aliens, Kung Fu Panda and Over the Hedge, opened the curtain on its latest computer-generated 3D movie project, How to Train Your Dragon on March 26. Along with IT partners Hewlett-Packard and Intel, the Glendale, Calif.-based studio hosted a group of about 100 international tech journalists and analysts on March 24 to demonstrate how HP’s new Z-series workstations utilizing Intel’s six-core processors now enable CG artists to create, play back, and render huge video files in the fastest times ever. These factors enable the artists to improve the quality of the work and get super-expensive projects like this one completed faster. DreamWorks spent about $150 million in a span of about 5 years just on Dragon’s CG production let alone marketing, distribution and related costs. Another mind-blowing fact is that this 3D film now takes up 100TB that’s right, terabytes of storage capacity in the studio’s data center farm, CTO Edwin Leonard said. Here is a slideshow explaining how new-generation CG works.

Paul McCartney Announces First Two Dates for ‘Up and Coming’ Tour
 Paul McCartney |
Paul McCartney has announced the first two dates of his forthcoming, extensive ‘Up and Coming’ 2010 tour. In keeping with his headline-making special concerts over the last few years, the tour will see the iconic star and his band play unique venues, places and locations; new cities he’s never played and familiar markets he’s not visited for a while.
Paul’s first live concert of 2010 will take place in Glendale, Arizona at the Jobing.com Arena on Sunday 28 March. This will be Paul’s first appearance in Arizona since 2005′s mega ‘U.S. Tour’ which saw Paul rock out across America, performing 37 sell-out magical performances.
Straight off the back of the Arizona date, Paul will return to the legendary Hollywood Bowl for the first time since 1993. Paul first appeared at the Bowl with The Beatles 46 years ago in August 1964 and then again a year later in August 1965. These shows were recorded for a live album (The Beatles At Hollywood Bowl) that was not released until May 1977. As with all The Beatles live shows, the technological limitations of the day found the band overpowered by the screams of female fans. Decades later the crowds are just as loud but superior technology now allows Paul to overpower the screams, and overpower them he does! Macca’s live shows have reached a new legendary status in recent years, garnering unprecedented reviews from fans and critics alike wherever he goes.
These will be Paul’s first U.S. shows since his five-week ‘Summer Live ’09′ tour last year, which was prefaced by a triumphant sold out headline set at the 2009 Coachella festival and a surprise performance for CBS’ Late Show with David Letterman on the marquee of the Ed Sullivan Theater (inside which The Beatles made TV history decades ago) that drew throngs packing Broadway from Columbus Circle to Times Square. The ‘Summer Live ’09′ tour began in earnest with an already legendary inaugural run of shows at New York’s Citi Field Stadium (JamBase review), the site of the former Shea Stadium where The Beatles played the 1965 concert that set the precedent for the modern day stadium rock show. Critics hailed the Citi Field performances, seen by over 100,000 people, as the concert experience of a lifetime. Those performances were immortalized on last year’s RIAA gold-certified multi-disc CD/DVD Good Evening New York City.
The new show will feature a typically diverse set list drawing on 2 hours plus worth of selections spanning the catalogues of The Beatles, Wings and Paul’s solo career, including tracks from The Fireman’s 2008 album Electric Arguments. There will be some never-before-played-on-U.S.-soil songs added to the setlist as well as the U.S. live premiere of ‘(I Want To) Come Home,’ Paul’s Golden Globe nominated track from the Robert De Niro movie Everybody’s Fine.
More live shows to be announced soon.

JAMES TAYLOR AND CAROLE KING NORTH AMERICAN TROUBADOUR REUNION DATES SET
 King & Taylor byKevin Estrada |
Iconic recording artists Carole King and James Taylor unveiled North American dates for the Troubadour Reunion tour. This once-in-a-lifetime event marks a rare concert experience bringing two of the most beloved singer-songwriters on tour together – intimate and in the round – for the first time in four decades.
North American dates begin on May 7 in Portland, OR, and extend through June 19 in Boston, MA. The tour will travel to over 20 major venues and cities nationwide including Madison Square Garden in New York and a three-night stand at The Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles. Tickets for the North American leg of Troubadour Reunion go on sale January 23 (unless otherwise noted). King and Taylor will also perform together on The Today Show and The Late Show with David Letterman on January 20.
The idea for the tour was conceived after a series of six performances Taylor and King gave at the Troubadour in Los Angeles in 2007 to celebrate the famed venue’s 50th Anniversary. The shows sold out immediately and garnered rave reviews from fans and critics alike.
Joining King and Taylor on tour will be their original band mates; guitarist Danny “Kootch” Kortchmar, drummer Russ Kunkel and bassist Lee Sklar, famous in their own right as The Section. Also joining The Section will be Rudy Guess, Robbie Kondor, Arnold McCuller, Kate Markowitz, and Andrea Zonn.
