Superman Returns review: To paraphrase Scott Kurtz: My name is Neasan John O’Neill. I’m six years old and when I grow up I want to be Superman. True. Too true, maybe not quite as good as Batman Begins but very, VERY close. Also went to see “The Highway Crossing, or The Tale of a Golden… Read More
Mantra Of A Dying World
Well I’ll start with another review: Pirates Of The Caribbean – Good not quite the 10/10 some reviews from certain sources would have you believe. Too long, poor scripting choices, stupid cliffhanger, at 2 and a half hours and with some proper management of the story you could have easily fit the next sequeal into… Read More
Cultural Review i.e. things what I did that wasn’t music.
Well outside the sphere of live music I’ve seen: Dido, Queen Of Carthage(play): Based on a chunk of the Aenead and written by Chrostopher Marlowe it was in The Chapel of the House of St. Barnabas near SOHO.

Back in the Astoria to see the Eels turned up just after doors so we’d catch Smoosh (onstage on Friday at 19:30) see all the Eels’ set (onstage at 20:15 on Friday) BUT ooooh no. Doors may have been at the same time both nights but Smoosh were not on till 20:00 and Eels till… Read More
Gig Review – Eels – 23/06/06 – Astoria, London
Support: Smoosh Back to the Astoria, like the Underworld in Camden at the start of the year I practically live here now. Sarah and I got here a little late and missed Smoosh and the start of the gig which will be funnier when you see the review for the next night. Anyway this is… Read More
