'3' | Pita Tune.

Press 'back' twice. When I was little, my father was famous...

'Duel of the Iron Mic' | GZA

This should definitely be there. Quite interesting and diverse list otherwise.

Agreed. Failing Songs is a wonderful album

I used to love Ride. Dreams Burn down, Vapour Trail etc. were awesome, although it does sound somewhat dated these days. The drums on Nowhere are terrific though.

The Killing Of A Chinese Bookie. Of all the Cassavettes films that I've seen, I've been most impressed with this one. Highly recommended.

'Whirlwind' | Landing

The Tenant is a superb film. Quite amusing in places as well. Have you seen Repulsion? I watched it a few weeks back, and I think it might possibly be my favourite Polanski. Well, that or Chinatown. Catherine Deneuve gives such an intricate performance. I'd be interested to know what you make of the very last scene (if you've seen it).

'Sketch For Summer' | Durutti Column

Love the stuff. Scallop Ngiri and Inari Pocket are my favourites. Oh, and Eel Temaki Hand Rolls are also well tasty. Might just have to have some tonight!

MRK 1 - Trip Down The Nile

Those paedophiles and their sickeningly tardy ways.

Was on the piss last night. For some reason I always wake up early when I've been out drinking the night before. Which means I can't phone any of my mates for a few hours to see if I made a tit out of myself. Though I guess that's probably guaranteed.

Alien, Director's Cut. 10/10. Still as scary today as it was the first time I saw it. Isn't it great that two of the finest sci-fi films ever made were directed by a guy from South Shields? I still think this is his greatest achievement and one of the most brilliant films of all time.

The Pastels - Nothing To Be Done

I've seen it, again one of my favourite films. I don't think there's ever been a finer child performance in any film I've seen than Ana Torrent's. Those eyes are just mesmerising. I think the ghost of Spirit Of the Beehive runs through Pan's Labyrinth as well, not just through the fact that both contain curious girls who want to explore beyond familiar surroundings, but also in cinematography and occasionally the script. El Sol del Membrillo is an amazing film too... I have to get my hands on a copy of El Sur.

I thought this was excellent and I'm not sure the question of who was sending the tapes needed to be resolved (I think it's safe to assume it was the son as I can't think of any other logical explanation). I think the film was more about guilt and what it does to people than the mystery of the tapes. Oh and the final scene in Majid's appartment is one of the most memorable scenes I have ever seen. Truely brilliant. Yeah, this has definitely become one of my favourite films. I became completely immersed from beginning to... well, until the penultimate scene. The movie felt so claustrophobic to me that, when the last shot/scene came, all the tension i had felt throughout the whole thing, completely dissipated and i felt so relieved... and at the same time, quite disturbed with what i had just experienced. I thought "ok, this should be the end" and started waiting for the credits to roll, and yes, it was 'the ending' but the last shot will keep people talking about what it might reveal... if it reveals anything at all. But this is not the type of film where everything is orchestrated just to deliver a surprise 'twist' ending. The structure of the film is remarkable and it touches themes that revolve around trust (or distrust) and the way we might communicate (or not communicate) it; be it between husband & wife, parents & sons, french & algerians, legitimate child & adopted child, filmmaker & audience etc. In all honesty, there are numerous themes that I need to get my head round. And the fact that music wasn't used once to manipulate the viewer's emotions, while remaining devastating at times, should really be applauded.

Yeah, she is way over-hyped. Nice touches with arrangements here and there but she really is nothing special. I prefer the more palatable Marissa Nadler when it comes to this kind of music. In fact, her new album is probably one of the best i've heard so far in 2007.

Does anyone know if this guy has much pace?

New deerhoof. Meh.

New Stooges song. It's OK.

The new Arcade Fire album, Neon Bible.
