I'm Persweded

Advantages: Mesmerising Lyrics, Catchy tunes and realms of fans
Disadvantages: None

≈♫♪≈♪≈♫♪≈ ABBA GOLD ≈♫♪≈♪≈♫♪≈ During the 70’s ABBA rapidly became very popular. Once never heard of, they emerged from Sweden and started taking over the world. ABBA had a habit of coming out with songs that had the kind of melodies that people find very hard to get out of their head. They also used to wear some wacky clothes on stage, which ...
...storm. My first memories of ABBA were those of waking to hear my Mum downstairs with an LP on. At the time I didn’t know that she was listening to ABBA, nor was I old enough to understand any of the words that they were singing, but the tunes stuck in my head from an early age and once I was old enough to understand I soon became one of ABBA’s next generation fans. Of course, if it was not for the Eurovision song contest ABBA may not have made ...

Pink Floyd: Atom Heart Mother

Advantages: brilliantly creative
Disadvantages: short track listing

...only in the capabilities of Pink Floyd: Atom Heart Mother provides a stunning colabiration between soft rock and the honest style of classical and progressive music. Despite being blaitantly contrasting to earlier efforts from Pink Floyd (i.e. Relics, the acid induced trip through seemingly random, but clearly well structured music in the form of a debut album), this change in "genre" has allowed Pink Floyd to develop their style to an extent whereby ...
...probes deeply into the image Pink Floyd create for themselves. The cow standing in a very stereotypical field gives no insight as to what the actual content of the album may be, and consequently acts almost as a metaphor for the ideal of not wanting to be pinned to any specific approach to music. This is something Pink Floyd can pride themselves with on all of their records. A slight drawback is the elasticity between the short amount of tracks, ...

Not Just For Abba Fans

Advantages: Great performances, great fun, the songs (If you like Abba)
Disadvantages: Younger cast are a bit flat

...Christmas, my mum asked for Mamma Mia! on DVD because my dad wouldn't let her rent it. Come Christmas day and after eating copiously and drinking similarly we sat down (dad excluded) to watch (mercifully not the sing-a-long version). I was apprehensive. I'm not good with musicals and I'm definitely not good with Abba. Begrudgingly I joined in willing my loathing along. From minute one I thought, 'this is horrid', but by the end I was toe tapping ...
...on what makes this film so enjoyable but somehow it is, and somehow I'll try. So, the story. Sophie (Amanda Seyfried) is due to get married on a Greek island but prior to exchanging her vowls she wishes to find out the identity of her father. She secretly invites the three potentials (Colin Firth, Pierce Brosnan and Stellan Skarsgård) to the wedding without letting her mother (Meryl Streep) know. What ensues is her quest to find out his identity, ...

Review of Mamma Mia!

Lions and Tigers and Bears, Oh Yes!

Advantages: It's still good despite being 70 years old, entertaining for children and adults alike
Disadvantages: None

...I instead decided to watch the Wizard of Oz, which I was delighted to see was playing on Channel Five. I hadn't seen it since I was a child, but remembered it being an excellent film so was fairly enthusiastic about seeing it again. Since 2009 marks the 70th anniversary of this famous film I thought it would also be interesting to see how well the film had stood the test of time as well as if I still enjoyed it as an adult. I'm assuming that most ...
...won't talk too much about the plot, but I will outline it briefly. The teenage Dorothy lives with her aunt and uncle in a small town in Kansas, with her little dog Toto as her best friend and main company. All is well until her dog bites the leg of evil Elmira Gulch, who threatens to take Toto away, so Dorothy runs away with him. A bizarre set of circumstances lead to a tornado threatening Dorothy's town, and she arrives at her house just in time ...

Review of The Wizard Of Oz (DVD)

Top Oasis Performance

Advantages: Oasis, Fantastic Performance.
Disadvantages: Few Extra's on DVD.

...April 17 1995. It shows oasis on top form performing all most all of the tracks of their debut album Definitely Maybe as well as some of the B sides like 'Acquiesce' and a magnificent cover of The Beatles 'I Am The Walrus.' A great performance by the Gallagher brothers and the atmosphere of the live gig is captured brilliantly. This Performance shows just why Oasis are one of the greatest British bands. In my opinion this is Oasis best live performence. ...
