What we say

Rating: unmoved This record left our Maggie feeling unmoved.

The Sun Aint Gonna Shine Anymore sang Scott Walker in the 60's... and this times he REALLY means it. Tackling such cheery topics as Elvis's dead twin, the execution of Mussolini and Milosevic this is a sober and brooding affair. Its theatrical doom. Sometimes a bit Jeff Buckley sometimes pretentious.. (thespian ipod music says Ant) but theatre is pretentious.. it's acting. It's difficult but I reckon could be rewarding in a dramatic way..... anyway let me leave you with a quote from his booklet. "Sometimes i feel like a swallow, a swallow which by mistake has gotten into an attic and knocks its head against the walls in terror" ... and I think I will write that for the Gate of Norman towers...

About the humble CD:

The CD is essentially a small portable face mirror which has an extra feature of being able to play music (through a thing known as a CD player). These CD's are a modern invention hence them being all shiny and digital. They can hold about 80 minutes of music and apparently are indestructible as you can smear jam on them and they still play (not as nourishing as toast mind you but when you're hungry.....). They sound crystal clear and are tiny convenient things. They lack the charm and warmth of their old analogue counterparts but their portability, convenience and ease of being duplicated make them a perfect thing of a thing for most folks. Jewel cases are the worst thing ever though and they really need to stop.
