Antony and the Johnsons - I am a bird now : this album will be everywhere on the internet right now, so I guess I’m not breaking down any doors with talking about this - but despite winning the Mercury Prize, this is a really important album, almost unique in the current market. I think [...]

So….I bought one those fancy Sony PSP’s on the launch day, pretty darn cool…games, music, movies even wifi - in a nice neat package that you can take on the train or plane. I’m very pleased with it…gameplay is as excellent as you would expect. I got 4 games: TOCA Racing, Lumines, Spiderman 2 and Need [...]

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory - I was looking forward to this one for such a long time, and then I kinda missed it…which was dumb, because its an incredible movie. I’ve long believed that Johnny Depp would end up being a MAJOR force in cinema, and this cool remake of the Roald Dahl tale does not [...]

At the risk of turning my personal site into a ‘fan-site’, I must mention the amazing night I had yesterday at Koko in Camden - to see Elbow - who f*&$ing rocked! The band were superb, covering most of the new album (which I have mentioned before here), and lots of the big tracks [...]

The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy - just finished watching this remake, of a remake of a radio series of a book…maybe its like chinese whispers, slightly losing a piece of the message as it moves round the chain at the party. I mean, on its own it probably wouldn’t be a bad movie, the [...]

David Gray - Life in Slow Motion He of the wobbly head is back, with another fantastic album of grown up songs…and thats without even mentioning the beautiful cover photography of a glacier. The album opens with Alibi, which slowly builds to an excellent tune and The One I Love which just screams ’single’ to [...]
