Thea promo cd Tales Of Us 4 track promo cd Had to get them at some point! I wonder what "Had to" means in that context. Usually, "had to" means that failure to do whatever it is would have had bad consequences. For example,…

What are you listening to now?
The new Laibach album, Spectre, for me - an absolute cracker and almost worth the 8 years since the last new studio album. A very clever and very politically sharp band that take the strength of their enemy and exaggerate it until it become ridicu…

'Performer As Curator' - Alison curating Manchester exhibition.
I'll write-up properly tomorrow (just got in and knackered!) but really, really enjoyed the exhibition. Actually well worth a five hour round trip by train. A few obvious things (the large scale Anna Fox looks lush 'in the flesh') but…

I'll warn you - it's a very heavy and full four hours. You will see things you didn't want to see and many things you didn't expect to see but if you have ever followed Von Trier's work then I'm sure you know to expecte…

Overflowing, in a good way. Last night had two hours of Jim Jarmusch's Only Lovers Left Alive which, it turns out was sumptuous and intoxicating - Tilda Swinton especially. I've seen other Frappers have watched it too and loved it so that…

Not soi much a "watched" as much as a "will be watching on Friday and some of you might want to try it" Just booked a ticket for Friday night's opening showing of the new Jim Jarmusch elegant & sexy vampire flick "…

Looking like 6 of the 208 sold for Gateshead....and all have gone for the comfy VIP seats! Considering the link from the map/city website is still broken such that it goes to a wrong cinema page or says that no screenings exist those 6 people have …

Seventh Tardis - The Doctor Who thread
In some ways it feels like a real throwback Who costume, which is a great thing. The flashes of red are very inner-cape. You lot will know who I mean! edit: Beat me to it, Border_Mind - and you even had chance to find a pic too!

Strike that - found it on the Vue site elsewhere. The list links to the Vue site but with a wrong cinema name - hence it was there but not found via the TOU site. Once searched directly on the cinema chain site itself it was there and I now have a V…

Even worse is that the "City" drop down has Vue Gateshead which is 5 Metro stops from my house......but you click to book there and it tells you there are no screenings at that venue!

'Performer As Curator' - Alison curating Manchester exhibition.
Thanks both - can't believe it's taken me so long to sort out going. I'm less than 3 hours by train over the Pennines, after all. I've no real excuse for not heading there sooner!

'Performer As Curator' - Alison curating Manchester exhibition.
Finally got round to getting myself in action and have booked a day off work for Feb 25th to go to see this. Any other near-Manc lot around to meet up for a wander/view or have you all been/done already? I know I'm way behind the cool kids t…

Well it was said that there are 300 cinemas showing it and so far I think we've managed to scramble together a list of 10-20 cinemas... I shouldn't worry just yet. I'd imagine it'll probably be on all over the country but most h…

Whaaa? it's at Reading Vue? How random! Thanks Carpy! Think I might wait a while to book it, given that the Vue has less than zero atmosphere to it. At the moment I'd happily take a place with no Atmos over the zero options in this enti…

I've divided mine into three lists - the absolute must-haves, the really rather greats and the still rather excellents. They're in no real order other than when I thought of them and the 'best' one changes with each listen. It�…
