Cya amateur radio,I have a new favorite terrible mag.

'Develop your own mp3 player.' How is this sort of magazind allowed to stay alive. I have a strong desire to set up a magazine project so I shall. To the back burner it goes.

This chair

Poor fella has been sitting here for a few months now. Feel sorry for him. May take him with me up to the library tomorrow.

A - Crosses B - Storm
Crosses is one of my favorite songs of his so this was a must buy. The B side Storm is another gloriously catchy dander along with his soothing voice guiding you. Give it a play if you havent yet. You wont regret it.
The art work is by Elias Araya and is a bit weird. Fetus's with wings, not what I expected. Solid 4/5.

Paul - a view

Went to see paul last night and what a shockingly terrible film that is. It is the worst film I have seen this week but to put that statement in context I have seen With or without You, nothing personal, resurrection man and rat catcher. I would actualy like to now make a list of films I would rather see than watch Paul.
Godzilla, any of the transformer,spiderman,sex and the city, twilight or harry potter films, the core, beerfest, die hard 1,2,3+4, home alone 3+4, star wars 1-3, andy warhols empire, marley+me ,rita,sue+bob too, any of the saw films...well the list goes on.
This film does not deserve a rating. If it took them over 10minutes to write the script for this I would feel ashamed for mankind as the cliched and childish plot drags along pushed by crude jokes and vulgar lazy written dialogue.

Only one question needs asked.

Fork or spoon?

The smart solution to #ukcuts

Can't get a paid job in the uk? Get an unpaid job overseas. The smart solution? Hmmm

Bar staff beware.

#Vinylsunday

I do not know why I do it. I flick and browse throught tonnes of vinyl abba,ballymoney male choir,bushmills bagpipe band does abba and suchforth hoping to find a gem,but do I. No 99% of the time its rubbish but just for that 1%,its worth it. Also it gets me out of the house.

At the magee campus using the library before my night class and it is looking like this.

True Grit - A view

Why lie, I aint seen all of the original, due to shock horror me not being a big fan of 'the duke'.
True Grit was a bit of a disappointment on Coen Brother standards. I perhaps expected to much from it but its alright, a bit slow at times but the characters are great and Mattie Ross played by Hailee Steinfeld is a great performance. What steals the show I think has to be Matt Damons glorious mustache.

 Why he didn't have that during the Bourne trilogy is beyond me. Nobody messes with a man with a mustache. 

 

I have to admit that Jeff Bridges and Matt Damon could make a rather interesting remake of auld Brokeback mountain.

Overall I think its a decent film but deep down I still don't like westerns. No way to get around that. I think the Coen brothers have done a good job as per usual with the cinematography right the way through. It does not come close to No country for old men and no Steve Buscemi. Need I say more?
A solid 3.8/5. Didn't rock my world but it wasn't useless.

Father Ted meets Mad Men

It came to my attention while watching the Father Ted episode Hell that Janine Reilly, who knows EXACTLY what I am talking about has a striking resemblance to a certain Peggy from Mad Men.

My crack team of investigators though found out that Janine Reilly is actually Yvonne Shanley and Peggy is Elisabeth Singleton Moss. Mystery Solved but look at those two photos and tell me they are not some what alike?

Great wee a side with humming bird but what really made me buy this was the b side knife by grizzly bear. I am a fan of the grizzly and I rather like this cover. Well worth the 75p I paid for it. 7/10.
P.s for bonus content check out the grizzly bear video for knife. No link. I am writing this on a real phone.

Todays vinyl finds

Picked up two classics today. There was a great selection cat stevens,roxy music,boomtown rats and human league. Lead me to suspect somebody with a decent musical taste has died and their collection of vinyl in perfect condition has been left into a charity shop. Left sitting between 'friends' vhs and old copies of peoples friend. No place for classic albums. Roxy music-avalon is getting first play.
