I know I have reviews still to do

But this is to good not to share.

A song written about my Wife by one of my favourite bands.

Internet fame awaits!

The Annual Late Review of The Year

BEST FILM OF 2008

For an actual piece of cinema, has to be There Will Be Blood. For a film that made me as giddy as a schoolgirl, Cloverfield.

BEST BOOK I READ IN 2008

Didn't read many new books this year but The Marvel Chronicles is amazing. 

BEST MUSIC OF 2008

For new music it would be Cage The Elephant which lept to the top of my iTunes most played list. For music I've discovered this year it would have to be finding Baby Huey thanks to the JCVD trailer.

BEST COMIC OF 2008

Have been enjoying Mark Millar's Old Man Logan run on Wolverine, All Star Superman was simply astounding, Kick Ass has been Kick Ass (sorry) and you know what? I liked Secret Invasion. Sue me.

BEST FILM TREND OF 2008

Kick ass end credits.

Seem to have seen a lot of these this year, a stand out being the end of Tropic Thunder. But it's not just action films, Wall-E's were top drawer as well. More of this please.

New favourite music video

Better than Neon Neon.

Oh, God

Really? Is that really the case? Is it?

Whoever made that call needs to stand up and explain themselves.

Things I Should Have Blogged About if I Didn't Watch TV

1) The viral marketing that Marvel did for their Secret Invasion crossover.

2) The complete lack of any decent film release at the cinema.

3) The release of GTA IV and the lack of it in my house.

4) The new Hulk trailer.

5) How awesome The Doyouinverts are.

Heh. Songs are funny.

Pete Green – I haven't got a Myspace because Myspace fucking sucks

Best three string guitar since The Presidents of The United States of America did Mach 5

What can I say, I had a lots of bills that week

Glad to see I wasn't the only one.

To be fair, I did buy the special edition of Amnesiac which wasn't cheap. My conscience is clear.

Proof there is a God

Kanye West beats 50 Cent to the top of the US album charts, invoking 'fiddys' threat to quit music if he is beaten.

Not that I have any great love for Kanye West, I did enjoy Goldigger and his current single, but I do hate 50 Cent. Really offends me. He wasn't shot enough for my liking. So anything that means that I don't have to listen to his "distinctive" vocal skills should be encouraged in my book.

I wish they were playing at my house

So my outlandish run of spending continues: I purchased the debut album by LCD Soundsystem from HMV for the princley sum of five english pounds.

And? A corker. But but most of all, track 4 by the name of Movement. Now, that is a proper corker. Proof? Boy, bring me a YouTube video!



See? A corker. But I've been informed that they are just as good if not better live. Boy!



Have that.

Me Likey Guitars

Got The Raconteurs debut album this week which I find to me a most enjoyable listen. Like the straight rock bits of The White Stripes with a melodic twist. You want evidence? Cue gratuitous YouTube video!



Now the bit you really want is Broken Boy Soldier which is about six minutes or so into the clip. This is what really got my attention about this band, awesome performance.
