    Girls will be boys: Women report on rock

    Re-reading the Liz Evans intro to this anthology (Pandora/HarperCollins 1997), which I think says that while the 90s was seeing a positive change in the gender balance in rock and pop, it was hard to argue with 30 years of male domination, it's hard not to feel that whatever was going on then...

    Didn't know whether to post in her or films, but it's about soundtracks really so: Watching Moulin Rouge last night I was struck again by the greatness of the soundtrack. I think it's a huge achievement. I don't know whether it has any precedents or peers - but these hugely famous songs are...

    Power and corruption at Radio 1

    Downloads chart influence

    I love this. Stuff hangs around in the download chart for so much longer, and the download of a new song is often available as soon as it's promo'd to radio. So will we return to the glory days of Bruno Brookes, when TOTP was soundtracked by Yellow Pearl? By which I mean: in a few...

    Withnail - flawless. ?

    After falling asleep to Withnail for the nth time last night, I am tempted to speculate that it's so comforting because it has no flaw. There's nothing to grate on the mind. Script, performances, cinematography, music - all perfect in my mind. It is the best use of the medium I know (although...
