The Day After Tomorrow Brrrrr! Wrap up warm! PS Why are cinematic portrayals of librarians always so cliched? – Oh the precious books! Don’t burn the precious books! philistines! – I was thinking that I’d burn the books wit[…]
A note on some new songs I heard this weekend: Phixx – Wild Boys: It really is last-chance saloon stuff for these guys, I quite liked the naffness of Love Revolution, which I think barely made the top ten. Now, you can’t really go wrong w[…]
Avril Lavigne: Under My Skin Avril returns with a patchy kind of album, a busy mid ’90’s indie rock affair. The songs are a little difficult to remember, perhaps they should have been allowed to breathe and develop at a gentler pace (Roc[…]
Pavement – Elevate Me Later It’s ten years since Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain came out, it’s only a couple of years since I realised that this particular song isn’t actually called Alleviate Me Later, and only a few minutes sinc[…]

Warrant – Cherry Pie It’s kind of like being one of the best dinosaurs ever, and then a comet hits you. Warrant were the last great pre-grunge cock-rock, hair metal bands, and combined all the best elements of luminaries such as Poison, […]
Do You Remember Saturday Morning TV? – Philip Schofield, Emma Forbes, Sarah Greene, Cheggers, Andi Peters, Gordon the Gopher…where are you now? This morning I switched on the TV and witnessed the hideous debacle that is “Dick and D[…]
