Horsell Common

[2200]

About 18 months ago, while I was falling madly in love, I visited Nottingham with Crowd Control to see them play. While there, I found a copy of Jeff Wayne's musical version of War Of The Worlds on vinyl in a charity shop. I used to listen to it so much when I was a kid so I was absolutely stoked when I found it. It's in pretty great condition and the packaging is so good.



It still sounds good too.

PERFECT ORGANISM

[0040]

I was born nearly 31 years ago. I wish I'd been born 18 years earlier so I could have seen Alien in the cinema without knowing anything about it.

I read an article recently about how the art of making teaser trailers was dead. Nothing is left to the imagination anymore. There's plenty of times I've watched a trailer and thought "Well, at least now I don't have to go and watch that" because everything is given away up front.

I'm watching Alien right now, anyways. Brett just bought the farm and Dallas is in the airducts.

I don't really wish I was born 18 years earlier. That'd make me almost 50...
