HDNet rustles up the Cowboy Junkies for a 20th anniversary

by Steven Kim, posted Nov 24th 2008 at 2:27AM

Cowboy Junkies Trinity Revisited
Another month, another trip down memory lane comes to us courtesy HDNet's Concert Series. That lane is getting longer than we'd like to admit, as this Sunday "Cowboy Junkies: Trinity Revisited" will air live to mark the 20-year anniversary of the audiophile classic "The Trinity Session." We won't bother to count the number of copies of the recording that we've been through, or how many different formats (hint -- we used to call them "albums"), but we'll tune in at least for "Sweet Jane" one more time.

The Cure hits HDNet Concerts, geezer-goths unite

by Steven Kim, posted Oct 24th 2008 at 3:12PM

The Cure - 413 Dream
We'll admit we have just about every disc put out by The Cure during the 80s, but we're surprised to see them putting up a live show on HDNet's Concert Series this Sunday. It's HD, so that's a good excuse for us to break out the eyeliner and hairspray and dress up like it's Halloween a few days early while we check out the band on tour for its latest album, "4:13 Dream." Robert Smith looked pretty tired back when we saw him during the "Wish" tour some 16 years ago, so we're a little anxious about how HD will treat him now; but if there's one guy who knows how to lay on the makeup, it's him. Don't feel bad if you tune in and know all the words -- the sold out tour lets you know you're not alone.

HDNet Movies debuting Splinter to get you in the Halloween spirit

by Darren Murph, posted Oct 23rd 2008 at 8:07PM


Look, we know good and well your Halloween night is already booked solid, but that's not to say you can't start getting spooked out a few days beforehand. HDNet Movies is looking to set the tone this year by debuting the horror film Splinter two days prior to its theatrical release. The flick is the feature film debut from British director Toby Wilkins, and the press release even describes it as "an exhilarating ride of jolts and laughs, and a throw back to the classic creature features of the early '70s and '80s." Sounds like the perfect way to spend an 8:00PM time slot on October 29th, yeah?

HDNet, HDNet Movies coming to Comcast

by Richard Lawler, posted Sep 4th 2008 at 8:20PM Breaking News

Add two stations to Project Infinity, Comcast has -- after several years of battling -- signed up Mark Cuban's HDNet and HDNet Movies, plus a free video on-demand package. Specifics on when the channels should go live in your area weren't noted, only that the cable company plans to increase its carriage of the two networks over the next year. Hopefully Comcast subscribers will get a (non-bandwidth starved) peek at Dan Rather, HDNet Fights, early movie premieres and more before tru2way and switched digital video roll out, but we can't be sure.
