Album Notes: When Dexys Midnight Runners' 1980 album SEARCHING FOR THE YOUNG SOUL REBELS became a huge success, long-brewing tensions among the bandmembers and leader Kevin Rowland caused a major rift and the band split. Rowland was left with the Dexys name while most of the band formed a similar sounding soul-influenced outfit called the Bureau. Kevin "Al" Archer, who was Rowland's main musical partner in Dexys, left to form a new band that would head in a slightly different direction: the Blue Ox Babes. After a few semi-successful singles, the Babes were set to release their debut album, APPLES & ORANGES, in 1988 when fate stepped in yet again: their label, Go-Discs, decided not to release the album at all and dropped the band from its roster. Now, 21 years later, the album finally gets an official release on Cherry Red complete with nine bonus tracks--and what a release it is. APPLES & ORANGES is everything you would expect a Dexys-related album to sound like--only better. Archer's voice recalls both Rowland and Liverpool legend Pete Wylie (with a little Marc Bolan quiver thrown in), while the bandmembers are accomplished and energetic. The production is top-notch and the songs are fantastic. This would have been a great follow-up to TOO-RYE-AY, and it makes you wonder why a label would choose not to release an album this strong. Standout tracks include "It Could Have Been Love," "Walking on the Line," the instrumental bonus track "The Last Detail," and "There's No Deceiving You." The cover of "Take Me to the River" is a bit awkward, but the rest of the album more than makes up for it. If you are a Dexys fan or just dig great timeless music, then this is a treat worth investing in.

Released in 1995 this cracking Australian movie, using real life animals combined with CGI to create a great entertaining film and probably the reason why millions of people gave up eating bacon?.
**MAIN CHARACTERS**
Babe the pig?(voiced by Christine Cavanaugh) is the little guy with big ideas about becoming the first ever sheep herding pig.
Farmer Arthur Hoggett, (played by James Cromwell) is known as 'the Boss' by all the farm animals. For some reason he doesn't say much, using facial expressions to show his emotions. He simply plods through life under the guidance...

...Apple's new iPod Touch is a little confusing. It looks just like an iPhone, but it's not a phone and it lacks other iPhone features, such as a camera and Bluetooth. And, while the iPod Touch neither looks nor acts anything like a traditional iPod - and offers only a tenth the capacity of a similar-sized iPod Classic - it does perform iPod functions, and that's how Apple positions it.
Perhaps the most confusing element is the iPod Touch's wireless feature. Obviously aimed at selling iTunes content, WiFi incidentally provides Web access via a special version of Safari and a YouTube application, but email is conspicuously absent. The very best apple ipod on the market. This and the 16gb. Would by because worth the money. Very good product.
Thanks...

...the apple ipod is a music player but not much else. it constantly freezes and other issues come up. its not worth it honestly i got my money back after having it for a week.the screen is also easely cracked . the only reason would get this is because its made by apple if it was any othere manufacturer it wouldnt be rated as highly . the touch interface is too sensitvie aswell. ud be better off getting a standard i pod for real man . it also breaks easily ive heard from a review mag that it snaps easily if u wear jeans and sit down. you would be better off getting a 20 pounds mp3 of the street . the apple ipod touch is all talk don' believe buy it and see what happens with it....
