Gaps between posts seem to be getting longer and I have to find the time to come up with something new each time. So today is more of a personal news bulletin of sorts. My Dad has been ill again and has caused my mum a certain amount of worry and wasted time. I have been continually updating my digital music collection and to a large degree I have been helping my wife finish our Country Cottage garden project which has been an ongoing joint effort since I singlehandedly dug up about a ton of old broken tarmac about 3 years ago. I have then joined forces with my neighbours to fight the ‘Great Old Town Residents Parking Battle With Our Local Council’ and I am on the committee, so let battle commence !
I have also watched some great documentaries recently, a couple on BBC4 regarding the life and times of soul singers Charles Bradley and Bobby Womack. Then I finally caught up with ‘Searching For Sugarman’ the award winning film on the obscure Detroit singer-songwriter Rodriquez which deserved it’s critical acclaim and to finish off my cultural tour I saw the documentary on war photographer Don McCullin whose exhibition I saw a couple of years ago in Bradford, again I recommend this to anyone who is interested in politics, art and history.
Then I have watched two films that left me slightly perturbed 'Kill List' and 'Valhalla Rising', I think I understood them but I've not quite convinced myself, following those I then watched the Coen Bros 'A Serious Man' a film I have been hoping to see for quite awhile and to be honest I thought it was piss-poor and I've still yet to see their version of 'The Ladykillers'.

Listen boys if your reading this then just film the Big Lebowski II and I'll be happy again. Plus a big thumbs up to Modern Toss, god you make me laugh, check them out, just Google it and make them even more money to not pay their taxes on (that's Google not Modern Toss !)
Enjoy
