The High Noon Saloon opened on May 5, 2004 (Cinco de Mayo), at 701 E. Washington Avenue, Madison Wisconsin. Home to The Gomers, who perform weekly performances there, the High Noon features rock, metal, alternative, punk, alt-country, pop, indie, bluegrass, blues, and folk music, hosting national acts, smaller touring bands from around the globe, as well as local music groups. The High Noon was built for owner Cathy Dethmers to replace O'Cayz Corral. The High Noon has a country-western vibe, and is named after the western themed Gary Cooper film, High Noon. The building previously housed the "Buy & Sell" shop, a Madison resale shop with an unusually large neon colored fish on its roof. Numerous national and local bands practiced and recorded in the basement of the Buy & Sell shop who would eventually play upstairs in the High Noon Saloon. Turbonegro recorded two songs of their Ass Cobra album with Sean Bovine at Green Room studios in the south-east corner of the basement. No Name printing would churn out their flyers in the basement, also home to Rhetoric Records. Brainerd recorded their first album, "There's No Eye In Pussy," in the two central studios, directly under the dance floor for the High Noon. Ivan Klipstein also recorded his third album "Lifestyle!" there. Brickshithouse, Trin-Tran, as well as X-OR and countless others recorded and practiced there. The basement is currently home to "The Brink," which features jazz music and wedding reception catering, and the first floor is also home to "The Brass Ring" pool hall and eatery. Prior to being the "Buy & Sell Shop," the building was an automobile repair garage.
High Noon is a 1952 American Western film directed by Fred Zinnemann and starring Gary Cooper. In nearly real time, the film tells the story of a town marshal forced to face a gang of killers by himself. The screenplay was written by Carl Foreman. The film won four Academy Awards (Actor, Editing, Music-Score, Music-Song) and four Golden Globe Awards (Actor, Supporting Actress, Score, Cinematography-Black and White). The award-winning score was written by Russian-born composer Dimitri Tiomkin.
In 1989, High Noon was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant", entering the registry during the NFR's first year of existence.
In Chapter XXXV of The Virginian by Owen Wister there is a description of a very similar incident, where Trampas (a villain) calls out the Virginian who has a new bride waiting whom he might lose if he goes ahead with the gunfight. High Noon has even been described as a "straight remake" of the 1929 film version of The Virginian.
High Noon is the title of "Best of" and rarities collection by Mark Heard, released in 1993, on Heard's own Fingerprint Records.
The album consists of primarily tracks from Heard's final three albums, 1990's Dry Bones Dance, 1991's Second Hand and 1993's Satellite Sky. The new tracks that are added are "My Redeember Lives," from the 1992 Derri Daugherty/Steve Hindalong produced Various Artists album, At The Foot Of The Cross, three previously unheard songs, "She's Not Afraid", "No," and "Shaky Situation," and a rough demo of "What Kind Of A Friend," recorded on a poorly tuned upright piano.
I've already been to heaven So I might as well step down Up seems like a real good offer But I'm gonna have to turn it down Losing heart Wondering if it's worth saving Well at least what remains After it hits the pavement I just had to make sure You knew I was sincere Trains change They jump the tracks They almost always Switch back Once again it's just me The smoking empty shotgun shell So close to a dream you can't touch My very own version of hell Playing tables and gambling Bad hands of cards Running out of crosswalks Betting on the oddest odds I just had to make sure You knew I was sincere Trains change They jump the tracks They almost always Switch back I've changed I've jumped the tracks I almost always switch back I just had to make sure You knew I was sincere I've already been to heaven So they asked me to step down Up was a real good offer But I screwed up big and turned it down Lost heart Knowing it's not worth saving No usable remains After it hits the pavement I just had to make sure You knew I was sincere Trains change They jump the tracks They almost always Switch back I've changed I've jumped the tracks I almost always switch back Trains change They jump the tracks They almost always Switch back You've changed You've jumped the tracks You've almost always switched back And now I know for sure You knew I was sincere I just had to make sure You knew I was sincere I just had to make sure You knew I was sincere
