Street Lurvin'

Advantages: Lots of big tunes
Disadvantages: A couple of tunes lack energy

...The Atlanta R&B singer Lloyd (Polite) released his second album in 2007. The record, ?Street Love? featured some of his most well-known tracks, and although he broke through with his debut, this is the album which had him really come up with some of his highest-quality work. 1. ?Lloyd? (Intro) 2. ?You? Samplign Spandau Ballet?s ?True?, this one finds the artist doing a banger of a collaboration with Lil? Wayne, in the time when Weezy started off his streak of featured tracks designed as a build-up to his ?Tha Carter III? album. It gets this thing underway well and shows off his incredible vocals form the get-go. **Five Stars** 3. ?Certified? It is Jazzy Pha who is seen to behind this one, and it appears that he really knows what to do (based upon his Crunk & B work with other Atlanta R&B singers, and so in order to bring in that...

Review of Street Hawk

Straight from the Street

Advantages: fascinating, in depth, great price, amazing read, good length
Disadvantages: none

...In all honesty, my relationship with ITV soap Coronation Street has declined a lot over the past few months. I think I have watched one episode this year, and that was a repeat from last December. However, even though I may not keep up with the storylines, there are indeed several members of the cast who I completely worship. One of these is the fantastic William Roache. William Roache plays Ken Barlow in Coronation Street, a very intelligent and short-tempered man. Roache was born in 1932 in April, and from this book it is clear that he has led a very interesting life, though one that may seem normal to him. He was awarded an MBE in 2000 for his service to Coronation Street, and he is now the only original cast member left. Though its not only the MBE that makes Roache a fascinating and amazing man! In 2007 Roache published his...

Review of Soul on the street - William Roache

The word on the Street

Advantages: Triumph name, price, looks, handling, engine etc etc
Disadvantages: No fairing so lack of weather protection

...Bit of background: ------------------------- I already own a Triumph Daytona 995i, which I am happy with. Time will come some day when I may have to change it, or simply buy another bike for regular running. After the news that my local Triumph dealer is closing their franchise, I decided to look for the next nearest one. This led me to Team Roberts Triumph in Conisbrough (near Doncaster). Test ride Sir? ------------------ Arrived at the shop with just the intention of having a look round, really to see where it was and what it was like. Got chatting to the owner and after casual conversation the question came up: "Have you got your licence with you?" "Yes why?" "Can take that out for a blast if you like" -pointing to the gleaming black Street Triple, which was looking at me through the window. "Errrmmm no.. No its...

Review of Coronation Street

Street Survivors for the music

Advantages: Great material. That Smell
Disadvantages: Deaths three days later

...I doubt Few album releases in History have ever been like the release for Lynyrd Skynyrd's fifth album Street Survivors. The reason is just three days after the release the band were involved in a Plane crash that killed the following Ronnie Van Zant, New guitarist Steve Gaines and his sister Cassie Gaines as well as the pilot, co pilot and the bands assistant road manager. Guitarist Gary Rossington's injuries were so severe that he had steel rods fitted in his right arm and leg. He suffered broken bones to both arms, both legs, both wrists, both ankles and his pelvis, **Street Survivors** The original cover you see with the review was replaced out of respect for the deceased members of the band due to the flames around the band in the picture. This album was the first and only Lynyrd Skynyrd album that Steve Gaines featured on after...

Review of Street Survivors [Remastered] - Lynyrd Skynyrd

Streets ahead

Advantages: Wonderful, thought-provoking and gripping
Disadvantages: None

...I had a horrific day today. In work, one of my customers said he hoped I died - and quickly. The cash machine swallowed my card. So... made penniless and sentenced to death - just an average day really. Still, I can withdraw money tomorrow, and I doubt Mr. Atzel will be able to track me down and murder me, so all's well that ends well. Sometimes, there is a happy ending. Which brings me on to 'The Street', written by the legendary Jimmy McGovern, where there is generally a happy ending in each episode. How well do you know your neighbours? I like to think I know mine fairly well. Bill and Vera on one side, who I got pissed with my home-made Bailey's cheesecake; Derek on the other, a writer who tells me to turn my music down if I throw a party. But I don't know what goes on inside their houses - do I really want to? Yes, if its...

Review of The Street - Series 1 - Complete (DVD)

Green Street [Hooligans]

Advantages: Violence
Disadvantages: Elijah Wood, Bad Cockney Accents, Ridiculously Unrealist

...Hot on the heels of The Football Factory  comes another attempt at understanding the British thug sub-culture. This time (in an obvious attempt to increase American awareness) Elijah Wood is cast at the centre of it all, playing a Harvard journalism student turned hard-edged football hooligan. Sound ridiculous? It pretty much is. Green Street is not a hugely terrible film, but it is difficult one to take seriously. Matt Buckman (Wood) is wrongfully expelled from College, and jumps abroad a plane to London to visit his sister (Claire Forlani) and husband Steve (Marc Warren). Soon Matt starts hitting the local pubs and going to "Soccer" games with Steve's bad boy brother Pete (Charlie Hunnam), and becomes involved with the GSE firm (a supposed imitation of West Ham's notorious Inter-City Firm). As an actor, it is understandable by...

Review of Green Street (DVD)

Educational Street

Advantages: Entertaining and educational
Disadvantages: Things happen in a different timescale to real life

...I think soaps have a place in our society. I know some people think it’s only the brain dead that watch them, but I think that they are genuinely educational and that Coronation Street is one of the best. The storylines that require any kind of legal input are well researched and accurate even if things do happen rather more quickly than they would in real life! This gives the viewer information while entertaining them, reaching far more people than a documentary would. Just look at the viewing figures if you need proof. Take the plot involving Sarah Lou and her teenage pregnancy. Ok so the actual pregnancy and birth were portrayed as relatively easy which was naïve, but her life since has shown that teenage mums do not have an easy time of it even when the family is supportive. When I got involved in a storyline an ex of mine...
