Music

• Live review: Asia/Barclay James Harvest, Manchester

  Two classic bands. One original member left in each. Two very different performances.

• Bad 'N' Ruin: The Faces Story (a random playlist)

  The music was always ragged and sloppy, that's where the excitement came from; McLagen could play a storm on the keyboards, Lane could alternate between swagger and melody on bass, Jones was a busy man behind the drumkit, not quite Keith Moon, but the closest reasonable facsimilie. Wood was the closest to Keith Richard as a man could get; in some ways, the Faces were the ultimate melding of The Who and The Rolling Stones, something that would seem impossible on paper.

• film - Bad Education

  This is a refreshing, “story within a story” film that is compelling to watch, even with the sub-titles. It features a knock out performance by Gael Garcia Bernal, last seen in The Motorcycle Diaries as Ernesto Guevara.

• film - Persons of Interest

  Several Arab Americans, some full citizens, some not, tell their stories about how they were picked up by the police, questioned and thrown into detention, sometimes for over a year.

• film - Tarnation

  The naked honesty in this film is stunning. It’s all captured here, warts and all, allegations and denials, the ugliness and the unconditional love.
