almost surprised it's back, they seemed to have wrapped it all up at the end of S3.

I don't even think JB was that good, it's boring. Of his subsequent films I've only seen Kill Bill and Django, and they're both pretty bad (though Django starts well before going seriously off the rails).

she was one of the backing singers in the Commitments.

that was my attitude to Indy Cindy. Or "this is a pretty good Frank Black album with better backing musicians than usual". All in all, good luck to them.

Odelay certainly is, and the albums either side of it. Since then, mixed bag.

That's beautiful Dad…

I couldn't even make it through the trailer.

also this great steel band version of "Alberto Balsam"

AFAIK, Eccleston *did* turn it down, then they rewrote the part for John Hurt.

First half (in the hotel) is great; second half (in the woods) not so much, but still an interesting film and worth checking out.

Smith may have written the songs, and by all accounts Lol Tolhurst was a passenger after the first couple of albums, but they did start out as a band. Paul Weller wrote virtually every Jam song, they were still a band.

In fairness, Philips was a key founding member of the band. Neither Wilson nor the early drummers were particularly important in the context of the overall history of the band. In fact they were all effectively hired hands.

they didn't replace Waters with Gilmour though - they were both frontmen for the band's peak years.

alternatively they were caught plagiarising, and as it wasn't some old blues dude who was either dead or broke, but rather a wealthy artist with lawyers, they took the expedient decision.

it's not Stonesy but it's not particularly weird either, very poppy in places. Their last album "More Light" was great, this one isn't quite on the same level.

I doubt many of the academy had seen Wolf Hall. Not doubting Rylance's talents, but I thought he played the spy in BoS *exactly* the same as Cromwell in WH.

As someone who used to be an avid collector of music and would often spend a whole day traipsing from one store to another looking for interesting (and preferably cheap) CDs, and before than cassettes, I don't really miss physical formats. I have a Spotify account, pretty much all the music I could ever want in my…

not with me - it's their worst movie by a mile. "The Ladykillers" pointless though it is, has plenty of funny moments; BAR is pointless and unfunny.

I think Curtains may be their best, also it contains "Ballad of Tindersticks" which is the best of their laconic spoken-word numbers.

last album "The Something Rain" was really excellent, easily the best since they came back from their hiatus. They've definitely rolled back from the grandeur of those first 2 or 3 records though (which were all double albums).
