Goldfinger LA based ska punk band have some great tracks who’s lyrics appeal to this recovering alcoholic.
Wasted is a little more pop than most of their back catalogue but recommend checking them out.
Also do a fab English/German cover of Nena’s 99 Red Balloons

Holds true to the original three, films and Lucas does not ruin the legacy as he did star wars. Takes you right back to being a kid again, with one roller-coaster scene after another. Sit back in you seat, turn your brain back to your childhood and enjoy the ride.

Finally got to see this movie on TV (rare for me to watch films on TV as the ads piss me off) Great performances by Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon both portraying Johnny Cash and June Carter as well as singing their songs. Never been a big fan of country music but the best of any Genre of Music is still great music and right at home in the ipod in my car as my lastfm stats reveal.

Everyone should see this film before they die. Based on a true story, chronicling three decades starting in the 60's of life growing up in a drug gang filled Rio slum. Some don't make adult hood, some become gang leaders embroiled in an all out gang war and the lead character finds a way out. Fantastically shot and directed, this has to be in my all time top 10 films.

Incredibly dark humoured independent comedy horror, with an excellent cast of relative newcomers. Tag line: Every Rose has its thorns. A student when subject to male violence discovers she's unique with vagina dentata. The script plays it very low key but shocks when it needs to. Boy's will cross their legs, and Girls recently aggrieved by men will revel in it.

Great beatles covers, darkly surreal at times and captures what I think the sixties was like. One of the must see films of the year.

Beautifully shot, well acted, story ran out of steam culminating in a shite ending. 2 1/2 hrs lost.

I’ve mentioned Frank Turner before who’s lyrics particularly ring a chord with this alcoholic.
Saw Frank perform again last week on Southsea Pier, a most dated and peculiar venue which is like stepping back to the 50’s. Crowd were pretty dead for the first two support acts but Frank soon got them going a consummate professional.
He played some of his old classic tracks as well as a few off the new album Love Song and Ire. My favorite being Photosynthesis about putting behind hedonistic days but refusing to join the rat race and succumb to mundane conformity and has with the fantastic chorus that titles this post.
And I won’t sit down
And I won’t shut up
And most of all I will not grow up
Here’s the video shot at a school with some great kids in it. Some of whose parents were at last weeeks gig.
Boys like new toy’s… This one does anyway and having been restrained and not buying a new PC and just upgrading the graphics card I thought it was time to replace my trusty old Nikon that had travelled the world with me and taken many thousand shots.
Got myself a nice new Canon 450D entry level Digital SLR camera, so can start taking decent snaps again.
Only played with it round my girlfriends flat today but so far I love it and started the long bank holiday weekend in the usual frenetic way but did get to have another go at teaching the youngest to ride her bike and seeing that sense of achievement and pride on her face as she gets the gets the hang of it. Tomorrow should be typical British rainy weather so a chill out day should be in order.
