Yeah, Goodall is a legend, makes it easy for a thicko like me to understand the basic elements. Also some interesting history in those shows ie when the pilgrims made the crossing to America and the songs developed a positive vibe. I'm like the first poster, love most music docs. I remember...

Its funny to see such big names in a studio having that kind of tense moment that every band/group has where somebody plays some new material, and nobody's quite sure how to play it. :)

In all honesty, I've started writing this now because I read in a self help book I picked up (at a service station no less, when I was jobless and at the end of despair ave) that to write things down is the best way to organise any thought processes. Even: What I am I going to do today? 10:00AM...

From my new blog @ http://www.zamazamablog.blogspot.com/ Been thinking about doing one for a while. Well, about 5 years. Had a few thoughts about old Timbasnozz... For your perusal..... Be kind.... “Elsewhere, limp acoustic effort Timothy Where You Been, featuring Jet, answers the question...

yeh, but no-one's saying it could have stood on its own, just that it isn't simply reflecting America back to itself.... I'd say the English thing is massive with the Beatles throughout... it saturates most of the lyrics, the cadences, the grain of the voices... The Beatles barely sound r and r...

The Box. Currently deciding which of either that or Burn After Reading is my new favourite worst film ever. It can't be arsed to give you anything back for your time at all. It's by the guy that did Donnie Darko, and using a one trick pony formula, the whimsical approach to non-story telling...

Downey Jr. is just like the rest of the project; ie, weirdly pointless and tiresome. His blacked up character Kirk Lazurus is neither funny or entirely serious, oddly rendering any controversy null and void. I think the spoof trailers at the start of the film might be floating around the web...

Has anyone else seen this yet? If anyone has ever wondered what happens when you give hollywood a-listers 90 million dollars to make a comedy, give it a shot. Still, at least they look like they're having a good time. Jack Black: "Ben, I'm knackered.... do we have enough funny stuff for the...

This is ace...! What if any, would people here say the most classic Grime dvd is? Where the scene is really at its peak?

I'm about half way through at the minute. I am in two minds as to whether the black/white divide is a good thing to use to traverse this particular era in music or not. Is Reynolds gonna go back to the same source material and publish something else beginning with a different theme? It makes...

Imagine the exact polar opposite of George Monbiot... Anyway, yeah, for what it's worth i really like Monbiot. He's certainly more than just an average journalist that's for sure. 'The Age Of Consent' is great: An attempt to imagine a functioning global parliament by explaining the history of...

I suppose it is rather a latecomer to the whole British-TV-comedy-writer-goes-Hollywood-and-ends-up-looking-a-bit-of-a-nob genre...

Shittish Film Yeah, you can almost here the whole of the British film Industry willing it on. I have to admit that i haven't seen it, but thats because it looks shit. A Hollywood action cop thriller set in a West Country village! Ha Ha! Hilarious! Well done boys. A really tired idea at best...

You have to apply for housing and council tax benefit separately. Funny, no-one ever explained this down the job centre.

dole hole I was on the dole for 3 months (just recently got a job thank christ) and was getting 59 quid but no rent paid. The dole - sorry, Job Seekers Allowance- doesn't actually cover rent, let alone bills and stuff. So it basically just prolongs eventual bankruptcy as far as i can see, not...
