It succeeds in aa manner rather like the theory behind Grindhouse (please note, I did say the theory), i.e. make a movie that's as good as you remember this kind of movie being/ wish this kind of movie had been. There is one thing though that is rather damaging to the old suspension of disbelief, and reminds you that this is all a bunch of actors acting. There is no way, even by 2030 whatever, that this country is ready for a Prime Minister with a beard.

Just a guess mind. No DM. It's more of a unified piece to me, nothing standing out. Likewise, most of what I've really listened to has been older stuff (first few Okkervil River albums mostly) but good is good, as they say. Send CD.<BR/><BR/>John. Stop bitching ya big jessie and send me your address, I can't do everything / anything.<BR/><BR/>Hazel. 1 recommended album that I wouldn't like is not really a recommendation. More of a warning.

I should be grateful, really, since my own list, which may see the light of day as a CD, has loads in common with yours - something like five albums and two actual songs - whereas I think my effort last year was almost entirely unlike yours. So at least I get DM for my very own! Hell, I'll have to get you a CD so you can compare the couple of things that are actually different.<BR/>I seem to have acquired lots of music this year, without actually discovering much new, and so my choices seem to me to be very predictable.
