Back To White

Posted on 24/02/2011 by Dee CrowSeer

Last night I watched Under Great White Northern Lights (2009) with a musically-inclined friend of mine, as we mourned the official break-up of The White Stripes. Of course, they hadn’t actually released a studio album since 2007’s Icky Thump, so … Continue reading →

Self-Google Snafu

Posted on 23/02/2011 by Dee CrowSeer

Royale With Cheesecake

Posted on 19/02/2011 by Dee CrowSeer

Hungry Hungry Hungarians!

Posted on 16/02/2011 by Dee CrowSeer

Watching a black-and-white “neorealist” film about homeless war orphans struggling to survive in devastated post-war Hungary might not be everyone’s idea of a fun way to spend an evening, but Somewhere in Europe (1947) actually exhibits far more warmth and … Continue reading →

Let England Listen…

Posted on 15/02/2011 by Dee CrowSeer

My homegirl (in a very tenuous sense) PJ Harvey has a new album out, called Let England Shake, and what I’ve heard of it so far has been pretty awesome… it’s also picking up some very encouraging reviews, so I … Continue reading →

Ommm Shandy

Posted on 14/02/2011 by Dee CrowSeer
