Brits n Pieces III – Album Review
Three is a magic number! Three is seen as a lucky number amongst owners of Mini Cooper's from the 1960's because it represents the 3 used in the classic Michael Caine Film The Italian Job. This may not actually be true but I'd like to think it is. What is true though is that Marc … Continue reading Brits n Pieces III – Album Review
The Skinner Brothers – The Real Peaky Blinders
Zac Skinner with his peaky hat, lank curly hair, looking like he is coming down or coming back up is like a modern day Artful Dodger. He looks like nothing else around at the moment!

Soundtrack of the year – Pocket Lint – Themes for Silcaville
Late summer and a strange oblong object drops through my door, something that looks like its from the past but also futuristic in its look.
