Absolutely right that...

Did they buy McCoy's, or are they a separate company still?

Hhmm Smashing Pumpkins - Landslide (Fleetwood Mac) Jason Falkner - Both Sides Now (Joni Mitchell) Todd Rundgren - Lord Chancellor's Nightmare Song (Gilbert & Sullivan) Chappaquiddick Skyline - Leave Me Alone (New Order) Beach Boys - I Was Made To Love Her (Stevie Wonder) The last one...

Any idea where I'd find a copy? I'm a novice where Japanese cinema is concerned, I just have a fondness for horror, so the weirdness of the behaviour of ghosts in the few Japanese films I'd seen struck me.

The idea that Bush might be a dupe is comforting, but empty. I was in the US for five weeks leading up to the election, and from what I saw, Bush convincingly stands for issues that Americans really do care about, in large numbers. The outrage over Janet Jackson wasn't fictitious, millions of...

The ending aside, I thought Dark Water was fantastic too. It actually made me wonder if there's something about the place of Ghosts in japanese culture that I don't undersand, so it makes their behaviour in japanese horror films seem a bit weird. DW has also been remade with Jennifer Connelly...

I haven't seen either version (would like to) but I do know that the remake has the original director and keeps the Japanese setting, just throwing Buffy and a couple of other American actors into the mix.

That almost sounds Borgesian in itself...

Labyrinths has a couple of different translators' work in it, and some of it is good, some of it bad. The Penguin Complete Fictions translation by Andrew Hurley is more even, and supposedly more directly faithful to the idiosyncratic Spanish of Borges (the unanimous night n'all that), however I...

I take it everyone knows about abebooks ?

Minibar - Fly below the radar. It's the only one I can remember hearing.

That would be supah-doopah

I'll state again, my dislike of her voice has nothing to do with her being a white girl in a traditionally black genre, its just that her voice is rubbish. There are plenty of black singers like Ashanti etc who pull the same soul vocal by numbers bullshit and are just as offensive, but they...

Woah there horsey, I never said I hated her, let alone passionately. She's just crap. There are lots of people who are crap, granted, but very few have a critical groundswell around them that insists on their brilliance. I don't actually agree with the 'life experience' attack, but I do think...

The revolution will in all probability have embedded reporters from all the major networks.

They're popular with adolescents aren't they? The obscurity of the lyrics and the garden-sprinkler range of the angst suits teenage years pretty well, when you're unhappy about something, but might not know what it is. C'mon, their best song rhymes 'loneliness' with 'emptiness'; the constituency...

And for those suggesting she's the next Dusty, is that a joke??? "Tha look, (wah wah) uv luv, is eeen yo aaahs, (wickywicky wah wah) tha look, yo smaaahl cayunt (wah wah) disgaaahs"

Two points: 1. I hear it more as a empty, sodden, 'messin wit mah maaahnd'. 2. She is a joke, and I really cannot understand how she has crept in below the trip-wires. How did this popular consensus, both critical and consumer, emerge that she has an incredible voice? It is flabby and...

I've been in the USA for a few weeks visiting my girlfriend, and have watched quite a bit of Fox News, having heard of it on websites like moveon.org and from writers like Al Franken, but never having seen it before. I think it's one of the channels tacked on the end of Sky Digital in the UK...

Seems they have just started selling books, and have a pretty fine selection. I mention it only as someone who has a compulsion to purchase books and is always on the lookout for a way to lessen the dent in my wallet.
