StopDoingBadThings, Spitalfield's follow up to the pop-rock gem Remember Right Now, does exactly what it was set out todo: rekindle the flame that was set off at the end of their previous album. This eleven track disc brings back everything you love about Spitalfield along with some tricky "badthings" the band left for you to figure out. This disc, along with its enhanced cd feature, focuses on the sometimes all too real problems of life with intense lyrics that we can all relate to; and sing along to for that matter.
The album kicks it off with catchy drums and bass that beckon the band's familiar sound. In a matter of seconds front-man Mark Rose's voice ascends in an almost "signature" way.

Katie and David are at war, taking continual pot shots at each ...
Advantages: Nice character development Disadvantages: Bit slow for some people
This is a delightful little book however it must be said that it will not beto everyone's tastes. This is the second book by Nick Hornby that I have read, the first as Fever Pitch which was based upon his own, quite understandable, obsession with all things Arsenal and how that obsession impacts upon basic human relationships. In HowtobeGood he is once again on the subject of relationships however this time the story is told from the female point of view.
I always imagine it must be a bit harder for a writer when they write from the perspective of the opposite gender however in this book Hornby makes a pretty good job of it, having said that as I'm male maybe he is just confirming my own perceptions of how the female mind works.
The central premise of the book raises quite a nice theoretical question. Imagine you are in ...
