Advantages: Pop genius Disadvantages: Slight lack of quality control
Wainwright is a genius; the trouble is, he knows it. His earlier albums have apparently sold poorly for the simple reason that they?re too complicated and, quite frankly, too camp. ?Want two,? the last album, opens with some fanciful string and vocal arrangements that?s a version of an old Latin prayer or something, but track two is a fantastic pop tune.
For his new album, Wainwright has toned down his camp-ness by recruiting, er, a Pet Shop Boy (Neil Tennant). The PS Boys know all about being camp and being hugely successful and ?Release the stars?, while still being ornate and over the top, is firmly a pop album.
Wainwright?s voice is fantastic, carrying emotion and sentiment at the same time as sounding slightly bored; he also sounds like a world weary singer in a back street gay club, probably draped around a harp and wearing gold ...
Advantages: Excellent book with lots of relevent information Disadvantages: None!
As many of you know I'm going to university in September, to study a degree in Speech and Language Therapy. When I was at the Open Day at De Montfort University, one of the lecturers recommended this book and I am so glad she did. It was also recommended at the Newcastle University Open Day, but by this time I already had the book!
* "The role of a speech and language therapist (SALT) is to assess and treat speech, language and communication problems in people of all ages to enable them to communicate to the best of their ability. They may also work with people who have eating and swallowing problems." NHS Careers*
The book is written by Jannet A Wright and Myra Kersner whom have both worked as SALT's. It is written for anyone who is interested in a career as a speech and language therapist.
I ordered the book on 22nd February ...
Advantages: Some might enjoy a naked Tom Cruise, OK story Disadvantages: made silly by the snogging and sex story, dated
After buying this film well over a year ago I wondered why I had not seen it all yet. Before I did manage to get about 20 minutes in but by this point I was so bored I turned it off. Last night me and hubby decided to give it a proper watch and see if we felt any different about it.
A very young Tom Cruise plays the role of Stefan Djordjevic who is a school boy dreaming of winning a football scholarship so he can move away from his small town and make something of himself. He hates the thought of being stuck in his town an working at the blast furnaces like his Dad and brother.
Stefan is happy with some parts of his life as he has a nice girlfriend but she is not willing to have sex with him so this is frustrating him slightly. She is very supportive of his dream of moving away to college and becoming an engineer. The crucial ...

Album Notes
Personnel: Loudon Wainwright III (vocals, guitar); Chaim Tannenbaum (vocals, banjo, harmonica); David Mansfield (fiddle, dobro, mandolin). Producers: Jeffrey Lesser, Loudon Wainwright III. Engineers: Jeffrey Lesser, Kooster McAllister. Recorded live at The Bottom Line, New York on January 8, 1993. Includes liner notes by Loudon Wainwright III. A dozen years after his first live release (A LIVE ONE), Loudon Wainwright released this excellent set. As with its predecessor, the album is an exemplary look at Wainwright's career up to the point of the album's release. CAREER MOVES is a generous helping of 19 songs, and includes six new ones. The album was recorded on a single night at one of his regular and favored venues, New York City's Bottom Line, and benefits from the contributions of multi-instrumentalists Chaim Tannenbaum and David Mansfield. Throughout, Wainwright's casual ease shines through as he toys with his own songs and jokes with the audience. With a wealth of material to draw from, he offers old favorites such as "The Swimming Song" and "The Man Who Couldn't Cry" (which Johnny Cash covered, closing his AMERICAN RECORDINGS the following year), and obscurities like "The Acid Song." He especially shines on delicately emotional autobiographical numbers like "Westchester County," "Five Years Old," "April Fool's Day Morn." CAREER MOVES is an excellent introduction to Wainwright's work, as well as an engaging set for those already familiar.
Album Reviews
Rolling Stone (12/23/93, p.156) - "...Acerbic humor delivered with Buster Keaton-deadpan irony still forms a basis for his eternal coffee-club act, but the tears of this clown are real - and conveyed with all the trenchant economy of a short-story master...." Q (8/93, p.101) - 4 Stars - Excellent - "...this set is a joy...Wainwright deserves every acclamation he's been granted and every nickel he's been tossed..."
