1942-1952 Jimmy Wakely - Jimmy Wakely

Advantages: First half is a surprisingly good ending.
Disadvantages: Second half of unrelated stories is a disappointing waste of time.

...It's practically unheard of for a popular, long-running comic series on a major label to be permitted to end when its original creators decide to call it a day, so it's with only a few extraneous issues that Neil Gaiman's saga of The Sandman came to a satisfactory close eight years after its first issue hit the shelves. This final paperback collects the three issues comprising 'The Wake' epilogue and three supplementary, independent stories tying up some of the more obscure loose ends before the series is finally put to rest... you know, aside from the other couple of Sandman books Gaiman has written since, and the numerous spin-off comics continuing the stories of the characters in varying degrees of readability.

Many people will be familiar with Jimmy Carr as the host of the successful Channel four quiz show 'eight out of ten cats', but if you were expecting more of the same you may well be disappointed. This DVD represents... Read review

Advantages: Fantastically feelingful, occasionally loud yet often graceful. An increadibly well rounded album
Disadvantages: It's a move away from 'Clarity'.

...My View of 'Jimmy Eat World' / 'Bleed American I remember most of the good bands that I've listened to over the years: Their best songs ring a bell in my head, I might even know the lines from some of them, at least I might think I do after a few bevvys. But I can tell when I've hunted down that mythical beast; the GREAT band, because much like J.F.K.'s assassination or the 9.11 attacks I can remember exactly where I was when it happened. I'm sure that many of you will know what I'm talking about. I'll quickly tell you in the hopes that setting the scene will inspire you in some way to run out and get your hands on this incredible piece of musical history. The sun was shining on Ferriby train station in a very English way, meaning that it was poking through the overcast clouds now and then. I was mooching around listening to... Read review
