Music
- Ash - twilight of the innocents - the usual solid catchy rock we have come to expect from the boys from ulster
- Calvin Harris - I created disco - good catchy stuff from the pop/dance act of the summer, even though i can't help feeling, i might find it all a bit cheesy a few years down the line.
- The Bees - Octopus - decent enough, but not quite as good as their last. i seem to like their more adventurous stuff best
- The Chemical Brothers - We are the night - the last of the nineties big beat acts still going, still deliver the goods, not amongst their best albums but good enough to hope they continue.
T.V - The Shield - compulsive as ever
- Rome - if i am honest the last couple of episodes were a bit of a damp squib. the storyline that saw Caesarion survive was a historical liberty too far for me.
- Cape Wrath - not top notch, but usually anything David Morrisey is in is worth watching and this is.
MISC - The Spanish civil war - An old six part granada series from the eighties. absolutely top notch viewing , i read a couple of paul preston books last year and this series captured the complexity of this spanish conflict very well. it needed all six parts to get that across
