4 from 1991-3
The best thing about moving home after a long stay abroad are all the boxes with things you’d forgotten you’d missed. Among a bunch of dusty CD’s, I found the following gems, all dated 1991-93: Read the rest of this entry
Halloween soundtrack
Lay it on us!
Commenter Jennifer requested a Halloween soundtrack thread. The radio.blog has her contributions:
Some Days it Might Be Dark
Spongebob Scaredy Pants
Everyday is Halloween
Plus a couple of mine:
Bollocks Brothers – Horror Movies
Agents of Oblivion – Wither
New Cadbury’s Advert
Don’t know if this has been shown in the US, but this is the new advert for Cadbury’s chocolate. Don’t know what it has to do with chocolate, but I love it!

Live Music Review: The Go! Team
It’s been two weeks since the concert, and I still smile when I think about it. A dynamic, fun-loving group, The Go! Team combines hip-hop, sampling and old-fashioned beats with cheerleading. It’s a great band for dancing, and their shows are famous for their energy and drive.
Top 10 Horror Movies
1. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (The ultimate in lo-fi horror. Note to lame re-makers: it’s a pretty subtle film)
2. Psycho (Because in 1960, Mrs Bates would have given you nightmares for weeks)
3. The Vanishing (Belgian version. The banality of evil, Low Countries style. Painful, horrible ending)
4. Dark Water (Japanese version. So, if I just saw my daughter come out of the apartment, who the hell is this girl with me in the elevator?)
5. Alien (Claustrophobia and HR Giger = perfect)
6. Halloween (Michael Myers)
7. Sixth Sense (Very creepy)
8. Ringu (Either version)
9. Freaks (Real 1930′s circus freaks out for revenge. Disturbing)
10. Last House on the Left (Do not watch this film. You have been warned)
Close but no machete: The Exorcist, Blair Witch Project, Candyman, The Wicker Man (not the rubbish Nic Cage version), plus many more.
Heroes recap: "The Line"
Your regular, high-quality writeups will return next week. Hopefully this will be accompanied by a high-quality episode, unlike tonight’s.
Sorry, folks, it’s looking grim. Read the rest of this entry
Leopard
I don’t know how many users here are Mac users. But arguably one of the bigger cultural events of the year – arguably more significant than the iPhone – happened Friday. What was it? The much delayed and anticipated arrival of Leopard.
I think Tegan and Sara are catching on?
I saw a commercial on MTV for MTV’s website that featured them. I also saw their video on AOL’s Music on Demand tv channel. (I went there specifically hoping to find it.) Are they getting popular?
Their latest album is just so good.

First Rule of Movie Making: Do Not Make Movies
Sean Cassity is a movie producer and writer living in New York City. He agreed to write a piece about his experiences in the film industry.
In writing this I’m torn between advancing a project I’m actually quite proud of and admitting that it was probably a bad idea to do it. For some reason, I went off and produced a feature film. The film is called IN THE BLOOD and it premieres this Sunday night on LOGO. Read the rest of this entry
