Been in Edinburgh today to catch "It's A Wonderful Life" for the umpteenth time in my five decade tenure. Guaranteed to warm the cockles of the hardest heart, no matter how many times you see it. Half an hour afterwards, even wading through a sea of zomboid shoppers doesn't feel so bad. Just turned on the TV and caught some of the Spice, er, "Girls" comeback. Just say no thank you. Don't fancy that O2 venue at all, the Zeppelin footage I saw sounded well ropey too. Of course the gushing fans, pouring out of the place aren't gonna testify to the fact that they mortgaged their existences to see something that sucked. Are they?
There's stuff to be done, but not on the 'puter. Early start tomorrow. Roll on not having to drive to the stalag for a cool 8 days. Like George Bailey sez "Hot Dog!".
"IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE????? Ack, barf!!!! Worst movie ever filmed if you ask me, custom-made for hardassed businessmen who want to assuage their "guilt" over evicting 99-year-old tenants who were one minute late with the rent! Gimme something REAL like Ed Wood, the Kuchar Brothers or William Beaudine anyday!

unfortunately its a flawed early mix they have up at the moment (it was only when filthy little angels mentioned it I realised it sounded a bit too much like the Primitives 'Crash' for comfort so the final mix is fairly different - check out the comments for a link)
lots of other interesting stuff there as well - fans of Shonen Knife and (Buba and the) Shop Assistants should check out the missing link between both bands - My-T-Hi (Moray the guitarist has played drums for both)

Chris, You know I respect your opinion but we'll agree to differ on this one. You'll be claiming "Miracle on 34th Street" isn't based on a true story next. But don't worry, the "spirit" has well and truly worn off since I just looked out the window.
