Chicago – Pop star Sheryl Crow was recently in Chicago, performing on behalf of the 2013 Macy’s “Glamorama” Tour, “Fashion in a New Light.” The event is a fashion and performance show that raised over $250,000 dollars for the Ronald McDonald House near the Ann & Robert Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago.

The hits “Strong Enough,” “If It Makes You Happy,” “Soak Up the Sun” and “Everyday is a Winding Road” are familiar hits for Crow, who has sold 50 million albums worldwide.

Making paralyzed mice walk was just the first step for Samuel Stupp. Now he and his team are on a mission to help our bodies repair themselves.

Samuel Stupp didn't trust his eyes.
The mice in the video flickering on his colleague's computer screen were moving their legs. Their back feet trailed behind them from time to time, but the fact that they were walking at all was astounding. Only a few weeks earlier, they'd been paralyzed from the waist down. Then Stupp's team at Northwestern University injected them with made-to-order molecules. Now the mice were trying to run around their cage. "I wasn't satisfied with the video, so I went to the lab to see it myself,...

It's coming, oh yes it is. Fans of iconoclastic film director and musician Cory McAbee have been waiting quite some time now for his Werewolf Hunters Of The Midwest. McAbee actually began work on the project before his feature debut The American Astronaut and, therefore, well before cult sensation Stingray Sam and there have been trickles of news on the film for years. But now it's really happening. It shoots in the spring, it will - once again - be a sort of cowboy musical, though this time of the horror rather than science fiction variety, and McAbee and his cohort Bobby Lurie have just released a song from it online. Check it below.

The soundtrack to Stingray Sam, the Fantastic Fest fave that had people singing for days afterwards, is now on sale. Written and performed by director Cory McAbee and co-produced with Robert Lurie, it's full of delightful absurd and often deconstructed songs like "Lullaby" or the progeny naming song "Fredward."
The episodic interplanetary adventure musical is still on the festival circuit, wowing crowds with its old-school serial wrapped in Western sensibilities. Both the soundtrack and the movie itself are available for purchase online at corymcabee.com, as digital media downloads or as discs.
To celebrate, we're giving away DVDs and soundtrack CDs. Find out how to win after the jump.

When Cory McAbee’s American Astronaut debuted at Sundance in 2001 critics where all tripping over themselves to attribute superlatives to the genre-bending film whilst struggling to describe exactly what they had just seen. Having made numerous appearances at Sundance for the better part of two decades, McAbee returned earlier this year with Stingray Sam. The David Hyde Pierce narrated sixty minute feature once again baffled but delighted critics. Both features are now available exclusively at Cory McAbee’s web-site and you can also follow him on Twitter. Mr. McAbee generously donated his time to discuss his work.
