I like what you did there

Just read a book called The Greatest Albums You'll Never Hear. Apparently the Youngster wrote and pretty much recorded an album called Homegrown, detailing the breakup between he and his wife Carrie Snodgrass. It's meant to be an absolute killer in the same vein as Harvest but with double the harrowing lyrics.…

This film is based on a Bruce Robinson short story (yes he of Withnail & I infamy) and is directed by Crispian Mills (yes he of Kula Shaker infamy) it's a great story but this looks like a shit film.
