Kjwilly commented on the post, Rock is dead. Again. 4 days, 19 hours ago

I’m never convinced by the “Rock Is Dead” argument. Rock is still around but has to share space with more differing strands of music. Many youngsters today are discovering their version of Rock; be it the tradi […]

I can never resist watching On Her Majesty’s Secret Service, Every time I hope the ending changes………..sadly it never does.

Sadly, Stan and Ollie was Oscar eligible but did not receive any nominations. It opened in the US in late 2018. At least the Golden Globes nominated John C Reilly and the BAFTAs have nominated Steve Coogan

I read that they are on Saturday Night Live on US TV soon. That’s a pretty big gig so I presume they’ve already hit a significant level of popularity in the US

But thank you for contributing to my thread 🙂

It has not been going down like hot potatoes!
Kjwilly wrote a new post, Guided By Voices return to UK 1 month, 1 week ago

There might be some fans on here of GBV (Guided By Voices). Never really broken out of cult status with their lo-fi take on art rock. For the cognoscenti, they are playing their first U.K. show for 15 years in the […]

Totally agree DaveBP, the director has to take some blame for using some techniques which take away from the film not add to it. The fish eye lens was one aspects, shooting from the ground up was another. A sad […]

Fair question by the OP.

Could another question be -aren’t we glad that RT never got that level of success? He still plays sensible venues, seems to be enjoying himself, no pressure to record another “ […]

Why is he not welcome on a Mojo cover? Is there a rule that it has to be vintage rockers?

Don’t you have any recent Dylan for that purpose?

I always think it is interesting to hear his views on the music biz. He has worked hard for his success.

Mike, the original ASIB were set in the acting world. So you are safe from James Mason singing. I remember that version as a fine film though

If you didn’t like Beautiful Vision then personally speaking, i think it unlikely you’ll like much of his later output.

I personally like the run from Beautiful Vision through to Hymn To The Silence bar the odd […]

Kjwilly commented on the post, Let’s talk Bond, James Bond……. 4 months, 4 weeks ago

I agree Gary, I think the loss of Boyle is a big wasted opportunity. I’m sure Fukunaga will do a serviceable job as Director but Boyle could have made a classic.

I think Aidan Turner for next Bond. I saw him o […]

To be fair, I don’t think Anna Calvi has ever hidden her sexuality. The press releases around her latest reflect the subject matter of identity

Guy Garvey, Simon Mayo?

Count, you seem knowledgeable about these things – why the varying starting days for Tests this Summer? I don’t think it has helped ticket sales
Kjwilly commented on the post, Richard Thompson – “13 Rivers” 5 months, 1 week ago

I’ve been able to listen to this, thanks to the NPR First Listen site. I think it is his best album for a long time. I can’t help wondering what is going on in his head though – he sounds like he is mighty ups […]
