Signed Joe Thomas

Advantages: Great vocals, Ballads
Disadvantages: Wrong Beats?

...**Introduction** Joe Thomas is one of the longest standing R&B singers around at the moment, having released eight albums to date since his debut album "Everything" in 1993. I saw him live at Hammersmith Apollo on 11th April 2007 with Boyz II Men and Brian McKnight and I am due to see him live again at Bristol's 02 Academy on Friday with Ginuwine. I thought it would be a great opportunity to review his latest album which was only released on 21st September 2009 in the United Kingdom. **Signature** This is the second independent release from Joe after he signed with Kedar entertainment. The album features Joe's usual mix of smooth love ballads and up tempo tracks. The album features production as usual from Joe himself but also includes production credits from Kedar Massenburg who also owns the record label that Joe Thomas is signed...

Review of Signature - Joe

Lots Of Love, Joe

Advantages: Lots of bangers
Disadvantages: Nothing specific

...?Signature? was released in 2009 and dropped as the eighth album from the R&B singer Joe Thomas (although known mononymously as Joe). The crooner first hit it big with the new Jack Swing jam ?I?m In Luv? back in 1993 and was known mostly for his such as ?Stutter?, ?All The Things? and ?I Wanna Know? through the nineties and into the ?00s. Though mainstream attention has lessened, he still has continued to churn out new material and this 2009 album helped him to show that he hasn?t lost what he brought during the key R&B turning point during the nineties. 1. ?Majic? We get the album off to a great start here as you find that you get a track from the singer where he brings forward a song that dropped as the lead single to the album and in spite of the fact that it didn?t really get too much exposure (or perform too well when it came to...

Pass the Bomb!

Advantages: great game, really gets you thinking
Disadvantages: you can be made to look v.stupid!

...I don't know about you lot, but it seems to me that every time we have family over for Christmas or New Year, after dinner we end up playing some sort of board game! This is ok to start with, but does tend to get rather dull after a while. On boxing day of the Christmas just gone, yes you've guessed it - we ended up playing a board game. A member of the family brought it round and it was called Pass the Bomb! Sounds ominous I know (don't worry its not a real bomb!). Well, it was great fun and very different to the usual type of games which go on for hours and people lose interest. The game starts by drawing a card from the pack which is shown to all players. Each card has letters on it and can be two or more letters. A dice is then rolled which tells all players whether the letters shown by the card must be at the start, middle or end...

Review of Joe 90 - Vol. 2 (DVD)

Everyone meets Joe Black

Advantages: A really pensive film
Disadvantages: Maybe a little too long

...Meet Joe Black is in my opinion a very strange film. It's rather long at nearly 3 hours in length yet the storyline is very simple. The way in which it is constructed however and because of the nature of the story itself makes the film a rather pensive one and so the 3 hour length gives the audience time to think and reflect on what the story is trying to tell you. The film begins with a chance meeting between Claire, a millionaire's daughter and a charming young man in a coffee shop. From the start there is definitely an air of romance within the air. Could this be the man her dad was always telling her to find. Unfortunately as the pair leave the coffee shop in opposite directions a car hits the young man. The millionaire, Bill, himself at this point is due to turn 65 in a few weeks and after hearing a voice he believes to be...

Joe Who?

Advantages: Consistant quality
Disadvantages: A couple of tracks let it down

...Released in 2000, "My Name Is Joe" is the thrird album from the R&B singer Joe (Thomas). I feel that it it wasn't for my father's taste of music, I would have never have heard of Joe, because he is really underrated outside of this genre of music, but in this category, he is (or was) one of the best in the game, so he should be showed a lot more respect. "Intro (My Name Is Joe)" "Somebody Gotta Be on Top" Although this song deals with all the typical things which you would expect to hear from a track such as this, it doesn't really have the power which you get to see in other parts of the album, so it is just a second rate version of the rest of the songs here. However as he is consistantly strong, it means that the overall quality isn't effected as it doesn't sound that poor away from this album. **Three Stars...

The Simpsons: Backstage Pass review

Advantages: Amazing writing, hilarious
Disadvantages: None

...The Simpsons: Backstage Pass is a collection of four episodes featuring some of the best bands of the past and the present. The four episodes are "Homerpalooza", "A Tale of Two Springfields", "The Otto Show" and "Homer's Barbershop Quartet". "Homerpalooza" is one of my personal favourites and concerns Homer, who seems to be having a mid-life crisis, so he takes Bart and Lisa to the Hullabalooza festival where, through some bizarre coincidences that could only happen in The Simpsons, he gets to fulfill his rock star dreams by touring with the festival. The bands here are amazing, from classic rockers (Peter Frampton) to newer, indie rock (Sonic Youth, Smashing Pumpkins) and really shows the difference in musical tastes between then and when the show started, and also since Homer was a teenager as well. "A Tale of Two Springfields...

To Roam aroun Rome by a Roma Pass!

Advantages: Queue jumping, don't have to worry about entrance fees
Disadvantages: Can not be cost effective

...The Roma Pass was something a work colleague mentioned to me, although she did not know the name just there was some card thing that gets you benefits. So I looked up things to do in Rome and eventually came across the website for the Roma Pass through a link from another website. The Roma Pass website is: http://www.romapass.it/?l=en The website gave me a great insight as to what the card was, there are 2 types of cards, so it explains what both offer and how much they cost. The standard (red) Roma Pass costs 23 Euros, and the Roma & Piu (blue) Pass costs 25 Euro's. The website goes on to have tabs for museums, events, a virtual tour, information, download and buy. I opted not to buy ours online, and decided I would get them when there. The website sells the cards with this strap line "The Cards that offers you...

Pass The Bomb - Careful It Might Go Off

Advantages: Improves Vocabulary, Family Torture At Christmas
Disadvantages: Sweet Mother Of God It's Annoying

...I was introduced to the game by The Blonde's parents at a large family gathering on Boxing Day this year. I used to like those people. Pass The Bomb - The Explosive Game That Will Blow Your Mind... No, No it won't. No really, it won't. The premise is incredibly simple. Start the timer (Conveniently shaped like a bomb; see what they did there!) and draw a card with a selection of letters on that must be contained, in that order, within the word you put forward. When the "Bomb Goes Off" the person left holding it is out. Also forbidden is repetition and making words up, they will also lead to you being out. Which apparently is a bad thing... So, the length of the game depends on 3 things. When will the timer go off? Can you actually remember the words you used to pick up on repetition and vocabulary knowledge (Although...
