-
CD Review: A Bigger Bang by The Rolling Stones— none of the tracks jump out at you for their original sound, but that doesn't stop it being good
-
CD Review: Silent Alarm by Bloc Party— This is more down-to-earth rock, but it seems to be somewhat hookless
-
CD Review: Kasabian by Kasabian— I find it overall vaguely reminiscent of Ocean Colour Scene, with synth sounds thrown in on top
-
CD Review: In Your Honor by the Foo Fighters— "20 songs on 2 CDs One loud. One not so loud."
-
CD Review: The Church - Forget Yourself— in a show down between these guys and Echo & The Bunnymen...I'd go for Echo & The Bunnymen
-
CD Review: Steriogram - Schmack!— at the insanely low price of £2.96, you'd be a fool not to snap it up
-
Review: Echo And The Bunnymen - Porcupine (Remastered)— The tracks manage to be quite upbeat, yet still feel somewhat sedate. It's not so much music to dance to
-
We, The Self-Condemned— I'm sorry that it's another poem. You don't have to read it if you don't want to.
-
How To Protect Your PC Against...— One of those necessary evils of the modern world. But as far as I'm aware, never anywhere near so prolific
-
The US has its own Robert Kilroy-Silk— Please, people of the USA, please tell me no-one takes this guy Pat Buchanan seriously.

The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy— The potential is there, it just seems almost as if they were aiming lower than the books to begin with.

British General Election 2005 - Losing Interest Already...— Name-calling, empty rhetoric, outright lies, indecipherable management speak, and small-minded focus on selfish issues...
-
British Election 2005 - The Green Party— despite some frankly unrealistic aims, the Green Party's manifesto strikes me as the most sensible and forward-thinking
-
General Election 2005 - 3 "small fry" political parties— blimey, where to start? I set about to briefly cover a few more England-based political parties
-
The British General Election 2005 part 3 - The Liberal Democrats' manifesto— It should be noted that the Liberal Democrat party in Britain is different to the Democrats in the US.
-
Britain Election 2005 part 2 - the Conservative manifesto— The Conservative party. Well, they certainly have more info immediately available on their site.
-
British General Election 2005 - State Of The Parties - Labour— but it's looking like this election will be the most fractured I've known in my quite short life
-
The Big Lebowski— ...
-
I'm More a Country Boy Than a City Boy— Whilst out and about, I was reminded that I'm more a country boy than I am a city boy
-
Brazil— Brazil is a top-notch film, and a damn good companion to George Orwell's 1984. A full 5/5
-
1984— 1984 is certainly the most thought-provoking book I've read so far
-
Changes Afoot at the BBC?— put more accurately, Blogcritics is like a (very) baby brother/daughter of the BBC, albeit multinational

Random thoughts on us and God— Please don't take it too seriously. And add your own thoughts!
-
Napolean Dynamite— Great stuff. 4/5
-
Need a free laugh?— I got another of those "419" scam e-mails today. Read and enjoy
-
Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind— A soppy film about love...that somehow manages to not actually be soppy
