----The Band------
JohnSpiers and JonBoden are two of England's finest folk musicians - wait! before you stop reading - I know folk isn't the most popular musical genre but these two have injected a young (they are both in their late 20s), fresh and fun element into traditional songs and written quite a few of their own to boot.

Madhouse's 2006 anime feature film, The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, could initially be mistaken for a sci-fi film. The central premise of time travel invites that view, but the themes and setting swiftly establish it as a high school drama. The logistics of time travel are mostly ignored, acting primarily as a narrative device. A device which the film uses to demonstrate the inevitability of the passage of time and the futility of resisting change.
Those ideas are explored through the story of Makoto Konno, a carefree, 17 year old schoolgirl. She claims, in an introductory monologue, to be an unspectacular character; possessing average intelligence compensated by good fortune. Her school-life is near an end, but, despite the prompts of her peers and teachers, she's content to delay serious thought on the future, preferring instead to ...
