Bunch of fives
Five albums, films and stage shows I saw, and loved, in 2006.
I’m spiralling towards middle age so I’m listing nothing hugely original here (see urban75.com’s Top 30 for the cool list), except perhaps the marvel that is Levi Weaver. He blew us away at the 12 Bar Club in the summer and his mini album is the most played thing on the pod this year.
Why isn’t there enough time to go to the cinema every week? It’s an outrage. I missed so many good films this year that even if I take a week off and devote it solely to movie watching, I couldn’t watch them all. At least the ones I did see were excellent (except Borat, which I can only describe as excrutiating brilliance).
Anyway, enough of your digitally enhanced films and new-fangled MySpace whatsits, Avenue Q has demonstrated that theatre is the new rock and roll…

So many movies/plays/albums, so little time. Gaargh! Having a job really gets in the way of my social life. Or it would if I had one (job, that is).
Hey just doing a little google search on this Levi Weaver guy (good last name) i am really liking what i hear, I think he’s coming back to London - his myspace says Jan 24th. anyway, no real question, just nice to see a fellow fan :)
