Comebacks

has anyone noticed how the barrage of pop comebacks over the past few years has moved to indie/metal?


  • Faith No More

  • Janes Addiction

  • Pearl Jam



Now, so far these have been revivals (i.e. tours playing back catalogue) but now Pearl Jam are going to release new material as, according to Perry Farel on Radio One last night, are Janes Addiction.

Now, i love these bands so i just home the new tracks are good. Please don't put out some rubbish thats ruins the back catalogue.

More Films

Ok, managed to get a couple of new releases watched this weekend. Talk about poles apart...

Taken
What a load of unmitigated rubbish.
Neeson as ex-CIA/Special Forces hard man, who has to go and rescue kidnapped daughter.
Neeson is so wooden, the plot so thin and predictable it makes for an hour and a half of laugh out loud rubbish.

Plus, i haven't seen sooooo many bullets fly around with no casualties since the A-Team

Gran Tourino
Thank god for this - total opposite - Clint plays flawed, grumpy, racist war veteran who lives in a neighbourhoud changing around him and how he helps and comes to like the family next door (and becomes increasingly estranged from his own selfish offspring).

Brilliant.
