Advantages: features different characters Disadvantages: Barney!
I really get fedup of watching the same childrens tv programmes over and over , so last week we were in Tesco`s and we spotted this dvd for £5. It has a variety of characters on here like Thomas the Tank Engine , Barney , Oswald and Fireman Sam with a wintery theme.
Here are some of my favourite episodes :-
Thomas The Tank Engine & Friends
The fogman
It is winter and is foggy , Cyril the fogman lays detenators on the tracks to warn the trains when there is fog.
The fat controller shows the trains a new invention a foghorn which is very noisy and the trains are really not impressed.
Cyril loses his job , Percy gets so annoyed with the foghorn because it is so noisy it makes the hillside shake and causes a landslide and is covered with rocks. The foghorn gets damaged , oh no not far away Thomas is on the track ...
Advantages: Still very easy to find in shops Disadvantages: Many odd tracks
This album is probably the closest Mick Hucknall has ever done to a sort of concept album. It's about love and politics and it's almost a story. It's very self-indulgent. The font and the warm coat on the front of the album have a Russian feel to it so it shows what the album is about. It was released in 1999.
1. Spirit of Life
2. Ain't That a Lot of Love
3. Your Eyes
4. Sky Is a Gypsy
5. Back into the Universe
6. Words for Girlfriends
7. Thank You
8. Man Made the Gun
9. Close to You
10. More Than a Dream
11. Wave the Old World Goodbye
The first track is a smooth opening with Mick's trademark tenor voice blaring out.
Things get better with the second track. "Ain't That A Lot Of Love" is a cover and was apparently meant to be a duet with Tom Jones and I ...
Advantages: More polished, stronger tracks Disadvantages: Less commercial, less funny
“You’ll never live like common people / You’ll never do what common people do”. That’s what Jarvis Cocker proclaimed way back in those wondrous Britpop days of 1995 in Pulp’s working class anthem Common People. Which is a strange thing to say when you think about it. Those of us who are middle class cannot be working class, but it seems that the opposite can happen if WeLove Life is any way to judge by it. Because, you see, Cocker and friends come across very bourgeois on this album. It’s all about gardens and nature, not seedy things like pornography and growing old addressed in this album’s direct predecessor, the dark This Is Hardcore. WeLove Life therefore shows a more bourgeois Jarvis, somewhat more upbeat, but the heart of Pulp is still beating.
Beginning at the beginning ...
