This 'n' That


1. Watching 24 is like eating Pringles. You watch one...then you have to watch another, then another and so on. The only thing that stops you watching another is that if you watch that one more then you know you're going to want to watch the one after that too. And you know, there's work tomorrow and stuff and it's nearly 11.30...oh go on then. Just one more.
2. Press Gang. Started watching the first series. It's 16 years old! Snappy writing even from the first episode. Spike (where is he now...theatre?) & Linda (Argos adverts) = Sam & Diane = quick fire arguments. My God but the Linda Day character is annoying but suppose that's the point. Hey, look, there's Phil's girlfriend from Eastenders. Isn't Knightmare on next.
3. Library today = Kirsty MacColl:From Croydon To Cube - An Anthology...Mogwai:Young Team...The Faces:Five Guys Walk Into A Bar(Box Set) and a book of Annie Liebowitz photos.
4. It's always without fail around about April/May that the interesting new releases start flooding rather than trickling out, this week being a case in point...Ben Folds:Songs For Silverman...Eels:Blinking Lights And Other Revelations(haven't bought anything by them since I got their first LP on import. This new one is a double (33 tracks) and therefore appeals to my previously stated delight in sprawlingly overly ambitious double albums. 7 years in the making, inspired by death and suicide, guest appearances by Tom Waits, Peter Buck and John Sebastian...Stereolab:Oscillons From The Anti-Sun (3CD's and one DVD..comp of EP tracks). How can you go wrong with 3 CD's of prime period 'Lab with a DVD of promos and TV appearance and all for only £13. Answer: You can't.
Also, The Fall: Peel Sessions box set. May have to buy this at some point. Don't know why. Just a kurious oranj I suppose.
5. The Life And Death Of Peter Sellers:Good film, great performance, one messed up bastard of a man. You don't really come out liking him at the end. Which is a shame.
6. Restless Natives: Out on DVD at last. Yay!
