It's 1942 a young boy is playing peacefully I his bedroom. However, somehow it's a jigsaw of a naked woman he has and his mother is annoyed at discovering this and finding heaps of pornography hidden all over his bedroom. She demands that he goes and gets her the matches so she can burn it all but the weird child being a true blue porn fan instead gets an axe and brutally, albeit very unrealistically, kills his mother. He is then found in the blood covered room after cutting her into several pieces.
Many years later and we have a random scene of a woman skating about on some University grounds before she crashes into two men carrying a mirror across a road. That scene seems pointless and is forgotten. But then another young woman is sitting on the lawn reading her book when she is disturbed by a man with a chainsaw cutting ...

Advantages: Plenty of recording space Disadvantages: Recording ability not available for free
For a long time I refused to get Sky+ because I said we'd never use it. After giving in to pressure and having it installed I cant believe we ever managed without it. There are very few programmes I watch 'live' anymore.
The Sky + box comes with a hard drive that will store approximately 40 hours of TV, which is more than enough for most people, you would need to be an exteme TV watcher to fill the drive, or be the type of person who saves programmes to watch over again.
The best feature of the Sky+ is the ability to pause live TV, very handy if the phone rings or someone comes to the door. You can also rewind live TV, so if you miss what someone has said you can rewind to hear it again.
The Sky+ box has parental controls, so all adult channels can be blocked and a PIN number can be set so children cant watch films that are too ...

Advantages: Series link Disadvantages: Not enough memory
First of all I would like to clarify that I am not a TV addict however I couldn't live without my sky plus box. It has become an everyday essential to my family & I & is in constant use in our household. It's the best thing since sliced bread!
I personally love sky+ & don't think I've come across anyone who doesn't. It's easy to use, practical & fast. I haven't encountered any problems with the box so far however when I had an issue with my bill I phoned the sky+ helpline at 1am & they were happy to help giving friendly efficient advice & immediately solved the problem. I have nothing but praise for sky & would recommend it to anyone. It can be a bit expensive but for all the services it offers I think it is definitely worth paying a bit more & knocks all of the competition straight out of the park.
I have had sky for years now ...

Album Notes
Includes bonus two previously unreleased bonus tracks. Personnel: Emmylou Harris (vocals, guitar); James Burton (guitar, dobro); Herb Pedersen (guitar, banjo, background vocals); Brian Ahern (guitar, bass); Bernie Leadon, Rick Cunha, Amos Garrett, Bruce Archer, Bernie Leadon (guitar); Ben Keith (pedal steel guitar); Byron Berline (mandolin); Ricky Skaggs (fiddle, viola); Richard Greene (fiddle); Danny Pendelton, Bill Payne, Glen D. Hardin (piano); Ray Pohlman, Tom Guidera, Duke Bardwell (bass); Ron Tutt, Mark Cuff (drums); Linda Ronstadt, Fayssoux Starling (background vocals). Recorded at the Enactron Truck, Beverly Hills, California. Originally released on Reprise (2213). Although Emmylou Harris recorded the GLIDING BIRD album in 1969 for the small Jubilee label, PIECES OF THE SKY is considered her "debut." Harris's pure soprano and excellent taste in material and backing musicians (over the years she has employed James Burton, Ricky Skaggs, Rodney Crowell and Albert Lee) have earned her tremendous respect in the country music world, and many top country hits. Recovering from the shock of the 1973 death of Gram Parsons, her partner and mentor, Emmylou Harris formed her own band. PIECES OF THE SKY, released in 1975, had a top-10 country hit in her remake of the Louvin Brothers' "If I Could Only Win Your Love." It also contains a tribute to Parsons ("Boulder To Birmingham") and a version of the Beatles' "For No One."
Album Reviews
Entertainment Weekly (2/27/04, p.99) - "[Harris] drew on [Gram Parsons's] earthy country eclecticism and blossomed." - Rating: A- Q (4/04, p.132) - 3 stars out of 5 - "PIECES OF THE SKY brilliantly set out her career stall..." Mojo (12/00, p.41) - "...[Her] fraught emotions are held back to breaking point by the discipline of stoic country traditions and the musicianship is proud yet stripped of egocentricity..." Uncut (4/04, p.114) - 3 stars out of 5 - "With 1975's elegant-pure PIECES OF THE SKY, she seemed like a cut-glass decanter in a roomful of chipped tumblers."
