In a year that has been dominated by the reformations of some of the biggest bands in rock history (AIC, Pavement, Rival Schools, hell even Led Zep) an announcement crept out the other night that will make absolutely no impact on the worldwide music scene but managed to make me and a very select group [...]
So it seems that UNICEF have named a goodwill ambassador in Orlando Bloom, yes he of the vacant stare and ‘unique’ approach to acting (as in making sure as to never display emotion on that face of his, lest he develop wrinkle lines.) Interesting choice. Perhaps they plan on using his perfect forehead as a [...]
For some reason the cold that I’ve had for what seems like an age has spread to my ears, leaving me in a cloud of half heard phrases and general befuddlement. I can only hear what people are saying to me if I am looking at them when I say it, which is leading to [...]
Cross Blogination is a project I’m doing with Diary Of A Ledger, the idea being every week one of us will recommend to the other one of our all time favourite albums, which we will then both write a review for. This week it’s my turn again, so it’s time for my favourite album of all time. This [...]
I’m in quite a good mood today. Work is not sucking quite so hard at the moment, and a few things have been cleared up and whatnot. Secondly, I’m still buzzing from last night’s ‘epic night of telly.’ True Blood was spectacular, I loved how well drawn the various characters are, and the tension is [...]

I am, it has to be said, a little excited. For although Autumn ushers in an end to the warm weather and replaces it with biting chill and endless leaves thrown in your face by a vengeful deity (or just the wind, possibly) it does also herald an end to the drought of decent telly, [...]
Cross Blogination is a project I’m doing with Diary Of A Ledger, the idea being every week one of us will recommend to the other one of our all time favourite albums, which we will then both write a review for. We have since amended this to allow recommendations every third week from one or our readers. This [...]
It’s turning out to be a bit of a music-heavy week here on BOTM (cross blogination will be here tomorrow), so if you don’t share my tastes then apologies, but I couldn’t let these two releases go without note. Two of my favourite bands of the last twenty years, one who has never been dormant, the [...]
