  1. Adam Zamoyski- 1812 Napoleon's Fatal March On Moscow.
  2. I'd get- 1 'Live At The Harlem Square Club' 2 'The SAR Records Story'... absolutely knockout. 3 Any greatest hits compilation.
  3. That's a shame, poor guy. I really like the work with the Kenny Barron Quintet, all the cds they did are great.
  4. Although I don't drink anymore I recommend this beer as the best of all the Japanese beers.
  5. Last year a friend gave my wife some booties that her husband had bought in HK. They were hilarious, Terminator 3 had sleeve notes for Charlie's Angels and the English subtitles for some film that was most decidedly not Terminator 3. Hulk had subtitles from what seemed to be a Jackie Chan film and a cover with notes to what seemed to be Matrix 3. I threw them all in the bin.
  6. So anyway what's the word on 'War Of The Worlds' ? Is it any good or what ?
  7. ' American Pastoral' is a great book, his best in my opinion. ' I Married A Communist ' is also excellent. I thought they were both superior to ' Human Stain'.
  8. 'JC On The Set ' is still his best cd imho.
  9. Hot and very sticky. High of 37C and 29C in the middle of the night. Humidity around 60%. It's just a rehearsal for July and August.
  10. On WW2 Martin Gilbert Second World War, a day by day chronological account is very powerful. Max Hastings Armageddon Antony Beevor- Stalingrad and The Fall Of Berlin John Dowes- War Without Mercy on the Pacific theatre. On Vietnam - two masterly books that Bush obviously hasn't read. Neil Sheehan -A Bright Shining Lie David Halberstam -The Best And The Brightest Max Hastings -Korean war and Battle For The Falklands.
  11. Thanks for the link. I've been wanting to read this for ages.
  12. I bought Volume one ( the black box) when it was first released and it has had a lot of play. I never got round to buying Volume 2 ( the blue box) which I sometimes regret. If ever you see a copy of the Sue Records Story box set it makes a great companion to the Stax.
  13. Golly, good job I didn't chuck out my cassette Walkman !
  14. You certainly make me feel a total dunce. It took me at least four viewings and then the extra help from the web to get that far.
  15. Mulholland Drive is Lynch's masterwork in my opinion but a hard film to make sense of after one viewing . I found this explanation invaluable for a dunce like me to unravel the slippery threads of the plot as it weaves in and out of the here and now into the world of dreams. http://www.franksreelreviews.com/reviews/mdexplain.htm
  16. Just got back from Batman Returns. It was great, the best of all the Batman films so far by a long chalk. The only minor carp was Liam Neeson who just wasn't bad enough for me. Still a splendid film for the young and dark at heart. Excuse me while I get back to sewing my Bat Cape!
  17. Every morning Country Farm Fruit Muesli. real McCoy with no sugar or chemical crap. I always have it with soya milk, the brand I use is absolutely delicious. I beef it up with banana(s) and any other fruit in season. At the moment cherries and BIWA, a fruit I've only ever seen in Japan. Pics of BIWA .........
  18. My missus took very little persuasion, we are off to see it this weekend.
  19. Yes, a very musical box set and dig the cut out Peggy Lee doll ! Have you got it on your desk Lon ?
  20. I don't sleep enough. I usually go to bed before twelve but have to read a thriller for half an hour or so. I wake up at 5.30-6.00, a little later in winter and am always up by 7.00.
  21. Try DiskUnion jazz annexe. They play great stuff. I've picked up quite a few after hearing them on the house speakers (JBL).
  22. Ditto all the previous comments. I can't understand what has been done to this previously good site. It's slow, user unfriendly lacking in information.
