Hymn For My Soul - Joe Cocker

A Great Collection from the U.K.'s King of Bluesy Soul Rock.

Advantages: Packed full of superb cover versions of classic songs.
Disadvantages: Album sleeve is just two pages.

Born in Sheffield, England in 1944 Joe Cocker (born John Robert Cocker) is one of the finest soul/blues/rock singers to come out of the United Kingdom. His performances give the impression of a man totally immersed in his art and are truly sung from deep in his soul. When you listen to this album it is more like listening to a private performance than it is listening to highly produced studio tracks. The production is great but feels more "real" than you normally experience from an audio recording. This album was issued in 1989 in Holland but all the tracks are what you would expect from their titles and are in English. Some of the tracks are "live" recordings. These are: "Midnight Rider", "High Time We Went", This album has many of his very best tracks most of which are cover versions. The good news is that he only chooses great ...

Selling my soul for Apple

Advantages: huge variety of features, great sound quality...
Disadvantages: Price, my specifically unreliable model, not vampire-friendly :P

I just sold my soul to the Devil - or so it feels like it after signing up for a two year contract for an O2 iphone. My mother would be highly disproving if she knew the cost of this transaction. But was it worth it? So far it's been a love-hate relationship between me and my Iphone. Why hate? Well, there's the fact that it would not turn on last night, not even when I tried to charge it. I almost threw it against the wall. I swear I even bit it with frustration. All I did was turn it off at the cinema just for me to go home and find out it wouldn't turn on again. This is a problem. I don't use my landline phone and everybody contacts me via my mobile. If there's an emergency I'm screwed. So can someone then tell me why my iphone wouldn't turn on last night and then magically would turn on this morning if severely craving battery charge ...

MY SON HAS GOT SOUL - FOR NOW!!

Advantages: A nice looking phone
Disadvantages: Poor battery life

At last, the waited day had arrived - the day when I was able to upgrade my son's mobile phone. It is six weeks since he decided to go on his kayak with his mobile in his pocket, and so he had been using an old phone with his sim in, this did NOT suit his 'strret cred' - I mean at 13 years of age you have to have the right image ( or so he thinks!!) So off we went to T-Mobile to see what he could get. There was no way I was uping his contract enought to get the top of the range phone's he was after( in two years he has had one phone die in the washing machine and the Lancaster Canal has done for two more!!) In the end, after about an hour ( just how long do kids need to look at phones ??) he decided on the Samsung SGH U900 Soul. APPEARANCE The result of our 1 and a half hours in T-Mobile came in a small box ...
