Advantages: its better than the second Disadvantages: none
Apologys people but here comes another book review.
Dean Koontz is a rather prolific writer it seems that everytime I go to the supermarket unaccompanied while on my tours of the toy and book aisles one of his latests works tries to throw itself in to my basket along with the lego sets and Spongbob DVD's. On my latest trip it was this the third of the books featuring Odd Thomas which made its way in to the basket.
Odd Thomas for anyone unfamiliar with him is a young fry cook from Pico Mundo, a desert town which has no real distinguishing features other than the massacre at a shopping mall some time ago, and that it is Odds home town. Odd on the other hand is much stranger, well not personally but he see's ghosts, and believes that they come to him for help to pass over after whatever it is that troubles them is sorted out.
But ...
Advantages: Familiar,catchy,poppy classic tunes that helped to define the 80s era. Disadvantages: He is sometimes annoying experimental but this album does stay quite consistent throughout.
Ok, so I know that Prince (oops sorry! The artist formerly known as Prince) is a bit old school but I honestly feel that his music is still relevant nowadays. Sure he is a bit of a loony, with all the symbol stuff/media p*ss take stunts and all but the music speaks for itself and personally I dont mind my rock stars a bit on the kooky side.
Sign Of The Times (the album and the soundtrack) is one of my favourite Prince albums. It's jammed packed with songs that have had so much radio time over the years that I defy anyone to not know at least a few of the words to most of the songs! It's got the title track 'Sign of the times', 'Slow Love', 'If I was your girlfriend' and 'I could never take the place of your man'.
This album is just as good as Purple Rain (which also ran parrallel to a feature film) and was released in 1987 ...
Advantages: Different and unsual thriller Disadvantages: None
Having finished my last book slightly quicker than I had anticipated I was left without a new book to read, which just can't happen so I had to have a good rake through the huge pile of books we have in the house. After some time reminiscing sat in the middle of a mountain of books I came across a book that my husband had read and enjoyed but I'd never managed to get around to reading. The book "Odd Thomas" is by Dean Koontz an author whose books I had never read before and although I had indeed heard of him I knew nothing about him.
Dean Koontz is the author of many international number one bestsellers. He was born and raised in Pennsylvania. A well loved thriller writer who now lives with his wife in California.
We are introduced to the main character "Odd Thomas" from the start of the book. Odd is a loveable 21 year old who ...

Album Notes
Acclaimed production madman Odd Nosdam (aka David P. Madson) lends his talents to the Element Skateboards DVD THIS IS MY ELEMENT, composing 13 eclectic instrumental beatscapes for the film's soundtrack. Working with disparate musical elements (seething synths, pounding drum kits, calming reverb-drenched guitar lines, hypnotic keys), the Anticon veteran has composed a collection of distinctive audio backdrops to match each skater's style and personality.
Album Reviews
Pitchfork (Website) - "It's less a mixtape than an appropriately compartmentalized series of segments, each long enough to establish mood but never outstaying its welcome."
