Yes, another viewer here and I love it… it’s hardly documentary-like in its depiction of New York, but it’s funny (hysterically so at times), and Steve Martin & Martin Short’s rapport is wonderful to behold… […]

Lovely, their best ballad since [insert suitable comparison here]… I enjoyed Angry too, so it would be nice to think that the new album (surely their last) might be a good ‘un. (And I agree that a little Gag […]

Much as I generally like Anton Corbijn’s work, I really hate the studied artlessness of what he produces for DM, certainly from Exciter onwards, and definitely including this video… … and as a lifelong DM […]

Thought this was going to be a thread about “Death In Venice”, oh well…

I saw MD at the London Film Festival at the time, followed by a Q&A with Watts (tiny) and Harring (movie-star stunning), neither of whom admitted to having any idea about what any of it means, only that David […]

My desktop PC (an HP one in case it matters) had a Windows update overnight. I usually try and keep postponing them, but this one got past me… (PS might be a red herring or coincidence)
Anyway, I’m now getting wei […] -
metal mickey commented on the post, Abba Voyage 1 year, 6 months ago
Indeed, but common sense tells me there must be dozens of tribute acts, dancers or whoever, who could convincingly “play” Bowie in a mo-cap suit, especially once the avatar visuals and voice is added later for the […]

metal mickey commented on the post, Abba Voyage 1 year, 6 months ago
I’m a casual Abba fan, so prices have put me off so far, but I’m told that 2023 tickets are on sale for circa £50, which combined with a stream of reviews like this might just get me to take the plunge, if only […]

I just posted about The Rehearsal on HBO (Sky Comedy & NOW TV from Wednesday in the UK), the best thing I’ve seen for years…

Starting this Wednesday 24th on Sky Comedy or NOW TV is The Rehearsal, a genuine one-off which is pretty much the best and most original thing I’ve seen on TV for years – my wife and I haven’t talked about a […]

It started life as a South Bank Show profile, with Neil & Chris suggesting some staged inserts relating to their upbringings, so it wouldn’t just be the usual talking heads interview scenario, then SBS regular d […]

metal mickey commented on the post, Derry Girls finale 1 year, 9 months ago
Well, yeah, I geddit, but I can’t help feeling there must be some middle-ground between (say) The Office UK (14 episodes) and The Office USA (201 episodes)… and bearing in mind the US version was one of the […]

I loved the series overall, though I agree there was a slight dip in quality in series 3, not helped by having to shoot around Claire and Sister Michael’s various issues, but I really enjoyed the finale, which […]

Marc Almond has tended to alternate “hits” tours with those with more obscure setlists. He’ll throw in plenty of one-off covers (I’ve seen him do Richard Thompson, Sandy Denny, Syd Barrett, Bill Fay and Lewis […]

metal mickey commented on the post, Great docu on telly about the best Disco film ever ever ever made. 2 years, 3 months ago
It’s a fine movie, but actually a bleak, rather nasty indie drama that would fit well in a spiritual double-bill with Mean Streets, but just happened to have a zeitgeist-setting disco subplot and an era-defining s […]

It must be especially difficult for one-hit wonders… much as I love Fountains Of Wayne, I was annoyed when I saw them and they tossed off Stacey’s Mom in a different arrangement (semi-acoustic bossa nova) that […]

In the sage words of David Hepworth (formerly of this parish), “most rock stars are either poorer than you’d think, or richer than you can imagine…”
Who knows quite where Phil Collins comes on this scale… […]

I came back to this thread to double-check no-one had mentioned this track, and I can’t believe it didn’t instantly come to mind for me… one of those outros that actually takes up half the track, it’s the album […]
