The breadth of entertainment that Walt Disney created in his lifetime is both deep and immense. The sheer volume of what he produced in his lifetime dwarfs most film makers of the time and simply shows how much he accomplished during his brief tenure on the planet. Not everything he did was a...

On watching Friday's Later With Jools I was mesmerised by the skill and dexterity of Bela Fleck and his performance of "Mountain" taken from the album "The Enchantment" which was a collaboration with Chick Corea. Here is a promotional video for the album. All of which leads me to the title of the...
A great look at what has influenced the Internet world... I'm not sure I agree with the order, and I'm sure they left out a few, but overall - a nice look at the Internet today! From Guardian Unlimited Websites that changed the world Amazon used to be a large river in South America - but that was...
here is my continuing 'bit' from Adam Webb, this excellent piece blowing the Public perception about any good that mySpace.cok, or Utube, or pretty well any other web site does you, unless you have mightly money & distribution behind you.. its really excellent, read the whole thing at:...
The following are the most played song, besides the 'Becoming Jane' soundtrack. There wasn't a particular theme in mind while I was making this, though it might have seen otherwise. With the exception of Travis, every song has never been listed / recommended before. 01. Madonna - Into The Groove...
I have never been a fan of such polls as if it was me the choices I would make could very much depend upon my mood at the time or be biased towards music I had been listening to at the time. However, even making allowances for this I must, guven some of the results below, be well adrift from the...

I watched the Brit Awards last night... well, not all the way through, obviously. I’m not quite that masochistic! No, I muted the sound and read a book, then turned the sound back up when someone I liked came on. Thus, my review of the show will be somewhat short and sweet... much like Kylie...

Keeping with the musically inclined Monday post below... Was feeling some old skool Smiths this week...big time. Pulled my favorites from 84's The Smiths and '85's Meat is Murder. Looks like the only band I've never shared is a new (in the past month or so) to me band(?): Rocca With all the...

I spent 22 euros on 22 songs today, all of which I bought without sampling since the audio driver on my computer has somehow been fatally wounded. 10 of the songs I really, really like. To recap on my experiment posted in a previous rant, I have decided this year only to buy and listen to new music...

So the Brits tonight… and live! For the first time since Sam “I’m-a-stupid-plastic-vile-bint” Fox and Mick “It-was-all-the-plastic-vile-bints-fault” Fleetwood. It’s a shame that chose Twat-features Brand to host it. As much as I love music I’ve never really been in the Brits. In my...
Another week passed, and all I am left with is a brimming inbox of confusing emails, a small list of gripes and a headache. I have had a headache, on and off since Monday night, and I am incredibley displeased by it. Copious anadins, Neurofens and pints of water have passed my tonsils yet still the...
I came across this absolutely fascinating article yesterday by Adam Webb http://arts.guardian.co.uk/netmusic/story/0,,1782621,00.html debunking the myth that MySpace.cok, or any other web site had any hand in the success or signing of any band or artist, and just like any other promo', is just a...
Ok. As i may not be able to speel or last longer than 45seconds (aggregate mind)! I was blessed in other ways, not all below the waist either! My gift was knowing a great song when I heard one and so as an unselfish man I share this blessing with VOX like friends who may not have come across some of...
I'm radioactive, breaking down past the half-life. The 15 minutes of fame are almost gone. I reference the science cause it's all my brain can grasp after you rip through like so many disasters hurricanes tornadoes monsoons take your pick I like comparing our mole hills to mountains it makes it seem...
Like Flanders, without the good poetry But they've spent some money on upgrading Leeds this year. The stages are in a much more logical order, and the capacities have increased. The NME tent is absolutely huge. But still not big enough for the Pendulum fans. I'd never heard of Pendulum before, and...
