Radiohead - I Might Be Wrong (Live Recordings)

It started off as a single and ended up as a mini-album of live recordings and it's not a bad release either. Featuring good renditions of popular and obscure songs I Might Be Wrong captures the spirit of the band perfectly. My favourite songs on this release are 'The National Anthem' (I can play the bass line), 'Morning Bell' & 'Everything In It's Right Place'.

The last two seasons of the show have somehow lost their sense of humour, ironically this is the storyline of one episode where Spike worries that he's not funny anymore. I think the problem is that Clive is a stooge and not a straightman. Jeff was the perfect foil for Ted's jokes, whereas Clive is now part of them and the humour just doesn't work anymore. Barry's stiff sarcastic exchanges with Yvonne were great too, now Julian gets on well with her so that's another source of humour gone. Luckily Uncle Sammy is a bit more of a humorous figure, his comments about hygiene are priceless. There's still a few laughs to be had here and there though (Mainly Clive getting out and back into his engagement with Gladys), but mainly the series tends to deal with more serious subjects like sexual harassment, the price of success, bullying and failed romances. All in all though it's been a good series and one that's matured and developed over its run, characters have left and new ones arrived, changing the dynamic of the show with it. Maybe one day Justin Lee Collins can reunite the cast in one of his specials?

Lorne no more...

Andy Hallett, best known as Krevlorneswath of the Dethwok Clan (aka Lorne) in the TV series Angel has died, after a 5 year battle against a heart disease. He landed his first break after he was dragged on stage at a concert to sing with Patti LaBelle - the performance kickstarted his career as a singer-songwriter. Hallett was spotted during a revue at a Los Angeles nightclub by Buffy The Vampire Slayer creator Joss Whedon, who created the demon character Lorne in the show's spin-off Angel just for him. The star appeared in 76 episodes before series ended in 2004. Hallet's subsequent ill health ended his acting career. He died on Sunday at Cedars-Sinai Hospital in LA, with his father Dave Hallett by his side.
