U Turn - Minox & Lydia Lunch

U TURN ( to good for a cheesy title :-)

Advantages: Smooth and soulfull sound, timeless songs.
Disadvantages: Maybe to dull for the funky RnB lovers.

Although Brian McKnight is a very talented RnB singer, songwriter, producer, and a player of nine instruments (wow.... Yes nine!!) not everybody is aware of his work. So... let me break it down a little. Born in New York Mr McKnight's style of singing is very smooth and individual. From his music you can hear that his inspiration is taken from the likes of Stevie Wonder, Nat King Cole and he can even hit the high notes like the star Prince. This album 'U Turn' is the 8th Album from this Grammy nominated singer, released on March 24th 2003 on the Motown record label, this album does not disappoint when it comes to classic, modern RnB style. This is what I think of the tracks on the album..... *All night long* I love this track, it starts off with a soft hip hop rap by the Rapper Nelly and he also adds a great little solo in ...

Review of U Turn - Brian McKnight

Don't Lynch The Lunch-Lord

Advantages: See text below
Disadvantages: See text below

’t think he even knows where why and when he is anymore. The memories are fresh, and ferric-recorded by the professional protagonist herself – Lydia Lunch. On “the rock scene” (five Goths sitting in a churchyard choking on K cider in my old home town’s case), the name of Lydia Lunch is oft muttered but rarely delved into. Why does no-one seem willing to talk to me about her? Because, my dear innocents, she speaks quite well for herself. As I said, the name had been bandied around in my circles for a dog’s age (what the hell is a dog’s age anyway? Last time I checked, they all had different ones…), but I’d never had the wherewithal to seek out this purveyor of anecdotal purgatory. Then, one usual Leicester afternoon (the rain present in the air, the usual clique of white boys trying to ...

Review of The Devil's Racetrack (Audio Book) - Lydia Lunch (Narrator)

Taking a wrong turn

Advantages: Great story and cast
Disadvantages: none

I recently watched a film called U-Turn, which is an Oliver Stone film. However this is not about the Vietnam War or political scandal. U Turn is about Bobby Cooper (Sean Penn), who?s car breaks down whilst on the run from bookies. He has serious money problems and has already lost two of his fingers to the bookies. When he is stumbles into a nearby quiet town, he meets a beautiful woman, Grace McKenna (Jennifer Lopez) and her husband Jake (Nick Nolte), who both offer him money to kill the other. Bobby soon realises that he may have even bigger problems now. This is a really good film that has a number of weird and untrustworthy characters who you would not like to associate with. The cast is outstanding with supporting actors such as, Claire Danes, Joaquin Phoenix and Jon Voight. It also features Billy Bob Thornton, almost ...
