Album Review : Transparent Dayze - Angel Kaplan (Lost Recordings)
If Paul Simon was young and Spanish then he would be Angel Kaplan. Angel is the bass player of high energy Spanish crazy guys Doctor Explosion, and he has used the legendary Circo Perotti Studios (of Doctor Explosion singer/guitarist Jorge Explosion) to create the 6 tracks on this 500 copy limited edition 12-inch vinyl, available from Rough Trade & Sister Rae.

Obituary News : Rick Wright
Rick Wright a.k.a. Richard Wright was the delicately spoken keyboard player with The Pink Floyd Sound. In 1978 the first keyboard I ever bought was the Farfisa Compact Duo and it was a source of great pride for me that it was the same model that fellow Old Haberdasher Wright had created his ground breaking psychedelic meanderings on in 1967. I'm very sorry he's gone to the Great Gig In The Sky.

Film Review : Sleepy Hollow
As someone that does film reviews, I embarrass myself with famous films that I still haven't seen. I finally caught up with this 1999 Tim Burton effort on DVD.

Travel News : Penalties
When I got to the First Capital Connect ticket office there was nobody serving. The one member of staff had left his position to go and tell another (who has to attend the unreliable barriers) that he should 'penalty fare' a couple who got on at Kentish Town without tickets. I presume they couldn't know where this couple were going to get off, so they must have been doing this same operation at every stop along the route.

Film Review : Get Smart
Well it's an interesting time to be parodying international terrorism and the security services, but if it has to be done then this effort certainly hits the spot.

Home News : Gary Glitter back in the UK
I find myself breathing a sigh. I wonder if the rabid lynch mob that proclaim themselves to be protectors of our morality (as they kill a paediatrician) will think that Alvin Stardust is fair game. Certainly major record stores seem to have re-written the history of seventies rock so that Gary Glitter doesn’t appear in it any more.

Theatre Review : Pygmalion, The Old Vic
George Bernard Shaw had ginger hair, and like myself he did his writing when he was on the move. Personally I find it ensures that I don't get annoyed when I'm stuck waiting somewhere during a long journey. For him it meant an opportunity to write a play reflecting on how our social status is linked to our use of language.

Concert Review : Mark Mathews and the One T's, Clapham Grand, 07/08/08
My good friend Kieron of The Dilemmas tempted me south of the river to experience singer/songwriter Mark Mathews as he starts performing with a full band lineup, instead of his usual solo set.

World News : Gordon Brown in Iraq
Gordon Brown was in Iraq to avoid saying that British troops might be coming back at any specific time, whilst saying how reasonable it would be for them to come home now that Iraq is having less violent incidents.
