***** WHAT IS IT? *****
I found this place completely by chance and how pleased I am to have bothered to stop in the car park. I only came down for the car boot sale and low and behold saw this gorgeous little eatery tucked away in the corner.
This little known café has only been opened a year so everything inside is still relatively new and shiny. Situated inside the HILLSIDE NURSERIES car park, it is easy to pass this completely without realising what a little gem Alton has on offer for food ...
Advantages: Loads of Phil Collins songs Disadvantages: Loads of Phil Collins songs messed up
An album of remixed Phil Collins tracks performed by r&b and hip hop artists. Risky, seeing as the man himself as churned out classic after classic and as you can imagine it wasnt well received by, well anyone.
I did however purchase because i like Phil Collins and i like hip hop & r&b so i took a chance. I should have spent my money on buying that indoor ten pin bowling set instead. Saying that there is a couple of decent tunes on here but as a whole, not the greatest ive spent my money on
Tracks
Another Day In Paradise - Ray J & Brandy. The single to come off this album was received quite well, not a bad video and the brother sister duet that everyone wanted to hear. An up to date version but not better than the original. You may find me saying that more often than not
Sussudio - Ol Dirty Bastard. Shocking. No resemblence ...

'Instant Karma: the campaign to save Darfur'
The latest charity effort in a good cause is actually a good record, for the most part, though it?s way too long.
It's a John Lennon tribute album featuring a veritable array of the music world's most prominent talents and will raise funds for Amnesty International's work to address the catastrophe in Darfur, Sudan.
Yoko Ono has granted rights to John Lennon's entire songbook to Amnesty International so that all the publishing revenue goes to the campaign. The album is a double CD release with classic John Lennon tracks reinterpreted by 27 artistes renowned artists.
The Green Day cover of "Working class hero" is on here, and is about as good as you could want, their big guitars and simple approach suiting the song very well.
On the whole, good bands do good covers while others ...
