A noise?

The Conformist and The Long Goodbye - pretty damn good week for releases.

I love this album.

I don't know, I mean we're still pretty insular here. I haven't seen

I agree that the terms pretty much mean the same, but is there still that sort of tie-in with extreme sports and alternative rock/ punk? I feel like 'awesome' is more an Internet related thing.

It sounds like this game would have fitted the PS2 and Xbox generation better, slotting alongside the Tony Hawk series and JSRF. But that 'extreme' aesthetic of the late 90s and early 2000s is over now.

I'm here all week.

That's the second book adaptation this week that I've studied at university. This was a pretty good film, never exceptional. As everyone else said, Don Cheadle is great as a total psycho.

I studied this and the book at university in a class on adaptations. There's not really much similarity between the two; in the book Dix is totally a killer and we find it out from the start, whereas in this there's more a will he/ won't he aspect. Great Bogart performance.

This sounds absolutely fantastic. I'm not really much of a hip hop fan, but I've always had a soft spot for Illmatic.

Well, he was executed in The Execution of Garry Glitter (look it up, weirdest thing ever).

I don't often pay attention to lyrics, I suppose because a fair amount of what I listen to is growled and semi to fully unintelligible anyway. One that comes to particular mind though is Foo Fighters' 'Walk'. When Grohl starts screaming 'I never wanna die!' at the end it's too far.

It was pretty hard to during my early teenage years to sell the idea to my friends that Lego Alpha Team was good (before Lego games became cool). But it was great, and darn challenging for something designed for like 7+.
