Easy Listening

Advantages: Pleasant poppy sound, suitably gloomy lyrics
Disadvantages: Can be a bit gentle for my tastes

...also a poetic aspect here that?s helped them endure. After their debut album ?Rattlesnakes? became a student classic, featuring the excellent single ?Perfect Skin?, the boys from Glasgow produced their follow-up, Easy Pieces in 1985. It?s an album I still play occasionally now, and replaced on CD for the nostalgia value. It serves as a reminder that not everything I bought back then was rubbish. A brief rundown of the tracks: 1. Rich Big drum sound dominates the opening, with a brass and string backing. Listen closely and the gently picked guitar is still evident in this mid tempo opening, with a rock and roll feel. ?She left you 1958, When the thought of another fifteen years Was more than she could face But did you miss her much well hey, You never gave her too much thought.? 2. Why I Love Country Music Great song...

Review of Easy Pieces - Lloyd Cole & The Commotions

Easy and cheap cut at home

Advantages: even easy cut, good value for money
Disadvantages: none to report yet

...I got this for my partner because, quite frankly, I was sick of him stealing the scissors and my razors at home! This clipper is a good product and I would always reccomend something from the babyliss range - call me a sucker for brands but I have never had a problem with the make when buying products before. The overall appearance isn't the typical appearance to clippers, at least not ones I've seen before but just like it says on the tin my partner found them easy to use and hold. Straight from the box the clippers use "Unique circular blade technology for multi directional cutting" which seem to make a massive differents than a pair of scissors giving the cut a nice and even appearance. The product is rechargable and comes with the mains equipment for corded use or uncorded, whichever you prefer! The results look very...

Just Listen... Well, To Half Of It

Advantages: Some big tunes
Disadvantages: Inconsistent

...The Empire TakeOva brought Drake?s ?Listen? mixtape in 2009 and it finds a compilation of the Canadian rapper and singers work through the year, including lots of fresh cuts that build upon the tunes that all know (such as ?Successful? and ?Best I?ve Ever Had?) as they had been floating around since early in the year. When he isn?t the most prominent artist on a track, this mixtape only features his verse to cut things down and showcase what he is about. 1. ?Listen? (Intro) 2. ?Fear? (Lude) 3. ?Rock N Roll? After a fairly weak start, in which you get an introduction followed up by a coupe of lines of a verse and then a hook before you finally get to this one when he gets a minute and a half to make an impression upon the listeners. He goes off on top of some lively club beats and I felt that this meant that he was half the way to...

Review of Listen - Drake

Once upon a time, in Liverpool...

Advantages: An excellent museum dedicated to the Fab Four, suitable for all age groups
Disadvantages: Some of the headsets are a bit dodgy (it was just mine) and some displays not working

...This time during the month of Beatlemania, instead of just writing about the bands albums, films and death theories, I wanted to write about some of the ways in which Liverpool still celebrate the lives of their favourite sons (beside the football players!). Although Ringo made a few disparaging comments towards his hometown a year or two ago, the phrase ?everyone has to start somewhere? springs to mind and ? although I may be a little bias ? I would have to say that Liverpool is very much the land of opportunity compared to where I live! Right at the heart of the city is Albert Dock, a place now surrounded by various shops, museums and even a hotel with the Echo Arena mere feet away. When I was very little, perhaps six, I remember Mummy and Daddy, as they were affectionately called back then, taking my Brother and I right near...

Odeon - Liverpool's Number One

Advantages: Good sized screens, great auditoriums, caters for everyone,
Disadvantages: Popcorn sometimes cardboardy, expensive chocolate treats,

...I am a huge cinema fan, and living in the centre of Birmingham for the last couple of years has meant putting up with Odeon Birmingham. Needless to say, I was very happy to discover the brand spanking new Odeon in Liverpool One, Odeon Liverpool One Odeon is actually the largest cinema chain in the UK, created by Oscar Deutsch in 1928. Some say that the name comes from Ancient Greek, others say that it comes from the motto Oscar Deutsch Entertains Our Nation. There are currently... a lot of Odeon cinemas across the UK (I tried to count, but it's a lot!). The website has a cinema finder to help you locate your nearest. For this review I shall be talking about Odeon, Liverpool ONE. When Liverpool ONE was redeveloped, the city centre Odeon branch was relocated here. The entrance can be found...

Review of Odeon Liverpool (City Centre)

Liverpool Football Club

Advantages: Great squad, great fans, great manager, great history
Disadvantages: No league title for 16 years

...the bad spotlight. He quickly regained his form and produced a man of the match performance against Manchester United to help Liverpool win the Worthington Cup. More recently he has produced heroics that surely nobody could forget in the Champions League final. After seeming dead and buried at 3-0 down at half time Liverpool somehow levelled it with a magnificent second half performance. Extra time saw Jerzy make one of the best double saves ever from Andriy Shevchenko with just seconds on the clock. He then went on to produce heroics in the penalty shoot out and the rest, as they say, is history. 2. Jan Kromkamp Born on 17th August 1980 in Makkinga, Holland, Jan is a recent addition to the squad. He started out with Go Ahead Eagles in 1998 and, after making 61 appearances, was snapped up by AZ Alkmaar. He rose to prominence thanks to...

Review of Liverpool

Liverpool in trouble

Advantages: One of the biggest clubs in Europe...
Disadvantages: ...going through their worst run in 50 years.

...Picture the scene; it's early November and after a 2-0 win against West Ham, Liverpool went seven points clear at the top of the Premiership and were striding towards a place in the next round of the Champions League, it appeared that it would have to take something very special to knock them out of their stride. Three months on and defeats to the likes of Middlesborough and Sunderland have seen Liverpool slump down the Premiership with no wins in eleven games and an early exit from the Champion League at the hands of little known Swiss club Basle. So where has it all gone wrong for the mighty reds? Every pundit, fan and his dog has had their two pence worth. Excuses and reasons range from poor management and lack of commitment from the players, to wrong formation and wrong players. I think the problem is much simpler...

UPDATED Liverpool FC Treble winners 2001

Advantages: On their Day can Beat absolutely ANYONE
Disadvantages: Cant we just win something the easy way for once

...Oh well, I think its about time I re-wrote my opinion on Liverpool, I wrote the original opinion earlier in the season, when we where showing terrible inconsistency, but it seems this got sorted out, as we went on to win a “HISTORIC TREBLE”, by winning the Worthington Cup, The FA Cup and the U.E.F.A Cup, a fete that has never been done by any English team, and hopefully we can round off a great season on Saturday, by gaining the third Champions League place, by beating Charlton Athletic. The Worthington cup was won in Cardiff on the 25th of February, by beating a very brave and committed Birmingham City, who took us all the way to penalties, after the match ended 1-1 after extra-time, maybe this was the warning to us Liverpool fans, that if we won this Treble, it would be at the cost of our Health and Sanity, as this was...

Review of Liverpool

Lively Liverpool

Advantages: I live here
Disadvantages: Some shops aren't here, the weather

...Whether you were born here, visit or just come to study here, Liverpool will always hold a special place in your heart. Liverpool is one of those deceptively small cities that squeeze in so much - culture, entertainment, sports, religion? There is nothing that Liverpool does not have to offer. CULTURE: Liverpool has several theatres - The Empire (the largest and arguably the best), The Playhouse at Williamson Square, The Neptune on Hanover Street, The Unity Theatre, the Royal Court, Everyman and of course the Philharmonic Hall - so you're guaranteed to find something to suit your tastes, whether you want a concert, musical or play. There are also 3 museums - HM Customs & Excise National Museum which is inside the Merseyside Maritime Museum at Albert Dock (you can find out the history of Customs & Excise as well as the slave...

Review of Liverpool in general

A Little Too Easy

Advantages: Lovely period detail and solid direction.
Disadvantages: It isn't as funny as it could be.

...of the film. Composer Marius De Vries has created arrangements of modern songs in the style of Cole Porter and Noel Coward. So tracks like "Carwash", "Sexbomb" and "When the Going Gets Tough" sound right at home with standards such as "Mad About the Boy", "Let's Misbehave" and "It Had to Be You" thanks to the light jazz stylings of the arrangements. The members of the Easy Virtue Orchestra sound as though they are having fun and cast members like Ben Barnes and Jessica Biel get the chance to prove their singing credentials. De Vries has also written some suitably jazzy incidental music that features Dixieland jazz clarinet and warm brass with brushed cymbal. The music suits the style of the movie and will probably work as a stand-alone album. "Easy Virtue" is a likeable period comedy drama that doesn't break any new ground. The direction is...
