2:34 pm - Birthday plans
|
I'm having a bit of a do for my Birthday this year. It will be from 8pm on Saturday 21st of March at our house (Greville Road, Cambridge). Limited crash space I'm afraid. RSVP if you intend to bob along. For those of you thinking of going along to Eastercon, Elaine, Ian and I are planning a joint Birthday celebration (probably a big meal) on the Saturday of the Eastercon.

3:14 pm - Video of the week #12 Strange Nature by The McCarricks
|
Martin McCarrick now has his own band with his wife Kimberlee rather obviously called The McCarricks. I saw them a while back supporting Kristen Hersh in Sheffield, where they gave an excellent enigmatic performance against projected backdrop.

4:22 pm - Watchmen movie musings
|
As the hype builds for the Watchmen Movie even with over 200 days to go I'm still musing over what they may have done with (to) one of my favourite pieces of fiction. The trailer has quite a lot of recognisable scenes from the comic but I thought people may be intereseted in these pho tos as they seem to indicate that 2 of the most controversial scenes from the comic will be in the film.

Includes appearance by someone who could probably get quite a good job as an Alan Moore impersonator.

Pooka were a female duo who were around for quite a while before splitting into their component parts. Sharon Lewis is now one of the mainstays of the Brighton House Concerts collective set up by Paul Chi.

KoD have long since gone the way of most bands I like but their singer/songwriter Patrick Fitzgerald's new band Stephen hero have plenty more classic poignancy

This has quite stunning visuals (of a not particularly cheery variety) and is well worth viewing full screen (via last.fm)
