Folk rock masterpiece
Posted : 10 months, 2 weeks ago on 29 February 2008 05:25
(A review of Back in the Circus)Jonatha Brooke's masterpiece. All the songs are excellent, no filler. She mixes her own songs with some excellent selections to cover. The production is understated, which allows her voice to shine.  0 comments, Reply to this entry

Character Study

(A review of 44 Scotland Street)A character study of a group of people that live in a Edinburgh building. It barely has a discernible plot but was surprisingly engrossing. The author build his characters with such care that it's hard not to go along with him. 0 comments, Reply to this entry

(A review of 1984)Orwell's brilliant description of a totalitarian dystopia. More relevant than ever, nearly 60 years after it was published. 0 comments, Reply to this entry
Coupling = Sex
Posted : 10 months, 2 weeks ago on 29 February 2008 12:24
(A review of Coupling)The British take the cake when it comes to comedy about sex. Coupling is about sex, sex and more sex, and occasionally about relationships too, but mostly sex, sex and more sex. Which other series has a whole episode about a porn film called 'Lesbian Spank Inferno'? Totally hilarious. 0 comments, Reply to this entry
Eleven seasons of the funny stuff

(A review of Frasier)Frasier didn't grow stale or un-funny or annoying and still lasted eleven seasons. The main characters are awesome and you can't help but love. The best comedy series on TV from the 90s. 0 comments, Reply to this entry
Stunning sophomore effort

(A review of The Story)A little more sombre than her stunning eponymous debut, 'The Story' is another excellent album by Brandi Carlile. Her wonderful voice is on centre stage here more than the first album. It allows her to display the full power and range of her voice. The album lacks the lighter moments from her first album. Most of the songs here are darker in tone and so is the music. However, this fails to bog the album down, and it's still a great listen from start to finish. It grows on you at every listen, as the depth of the songwriting reveals itself. Don't forget to listen to the hidden track 'Hiding My Heart' at the very end. 0 comments, Reply to this entry
Brandi Carlile
Posted : 10 months, 2 weeks ago on 29 February 2008 12:08
(A review of Brandi Carlile - Brandi Carlile + ( Bonus Tracks ))Brandi Carlile has pulled off the near impossible in this day and age, coming up with a Complete album of beautiful, heartfelt and original songs. There is no filler here, none at all. Her writing has amazing depth, and some of the upbeat melodies hide deceptively serious lyrics. This is one album to listen to over and over, and it grows on you every time. I cannot pick one or two highlights from the album, there really isn't Any weak material. 0 comments, Reply to this entry

(A review of The Sunday Philosophy Club (Isabel Dalhousie Mysteries))The book where we meet Isabel Dalhousie, philosopher and part-time meddler in affairs that are none of her business but make for good stories as well as whimsical and surprisingly funny inner monologue. 0 comments, Reply to this entry
What genre is this?
Posted : 10 months, 2 weeks ago on 28 February 2008 11:58
(A review of Lost)Is this sci-fi, fantasy, psychadelia or just a plain drama? I'm going to wait till it ends before I pass judgement. Right now, I'm just enjoying it. 0 comments, Reply to this entry
