I wish I could get dream restraining orders because there's certain people that turn up time and time again that I really have no desire to ever see in real life.

I'm very glad to see Stranger By The Lake placing so strongly. I'm guessing from the negative review that it had here that A Map To The Stars isn't going to make this list but I'll go to bat for that movie all the live long day.

I always loved his take on The Banana Boat Song. Also a big influence on and later collaborator with Jim Henson.

This film was actually really great.

I absolutely love this album and love the fact that whatever style Bundick works in he just writes fantastic songs.

Two Tone's finest The Specials, two top five albums and then Ghost Town which remains the definitive anthem of the Thatcherite era.

Couple of the b-sides, especially 'Over' hinted at the lo fi sound they were going…

Non fiction, from 69. About two simultaneous grizzly attacks in different parts of Glacier Park after none being recorded in the previous fifty something years since the park opened.

After not doing any music for a couple of months I've got back to it and done three tunes in the last couple of weeks. Here's the latest https://soundcloud.com/extr…

Rescued a paperback of 'Night Of The Grizzlies' by Jack Olsen from the bin at work. Turns out it's great.
