I've just completed my BA (Hons) Scriptwriting for Film & Television degree at Bournemouth Uni. I got a 2:1.
Perhaps I could have got a 1st if I'd written fewer opinions on Ciao and paid more attention to my final script. Curse this site!!!

Cornershop started out as an inept indie-punk group, barely able to play their instruments and seemingly content to churn out one anti-fascist rant after another. Who'd have thought that they'd have gone on to become the critical darlings of 1997 with an album as polished and musically diverse as this? No doubt a certain majority bought this album on the strength of surprise hit remix of Brimful Of Asha. The original version is good but it's by no means the best track here. Check out the laidback duet It's Good To Be On The Road Back Home Again, the seriously funky Candyman, and the excellent foreign-langauge version of Norwegian Wood and you'll see what I mean. Whether Cornershop will top this (not that they care, I shouldn't think) remains to be seen, so grab a copy of this in the meantime and bask in those chilled-out grooves.
