My TV selections are 1) Dexter, just dl'd series 6 which a mate tells me is a corker. 2) Breaking Bad, Just got to the end of series 2 with two to go. 3) Shameless but not watched any of the last series yet. Watched the first series of 24 then it went downhill rapidly. Oh yes forgot an early fave was Twin Peaks, brilliant and I still don't know what was going on.
I have Boardwalk Empire that my eldest daughter tells me is a must watch but disappointed with many others eg, Walking Dead, Falling Skies, Touch etc all of them promising lots but all basically morality tales or soap operas concentrating on the micro rather than the macro content and missing their opportunity to entertain. Also everything Robert Carlyle has appeared in on US TV so far has been crud, a very sad demise for Begbie indeed. Guilty pleasure is Spartacus all wooden scripts but more tits, arse and gore than you could wish for on TV. Sam Raimi, producer (Evil Dead) knows precisely what his audience wants. It even survived the death of its lead actor aged 39. Music. First albums in order 1) The Move - 1st LP, 2) The Crazy World of Arthur Brown - 1st LP, 3) Blue Cheer - Outsideinside. Last album bought Liquorball - Live Break & Run (2011), they are the kings of guitar noise. Last CD's all the CDR's released by the Glasgow guitar noise skree outfit Smoke Jaguar. Most embarrassing probably 100's but of the early 45's Joe Brown - Little White Bull without a shadow of a doubt. First gig I ever went to The Beatles on their Hard Days Night period, my Mum took me, Vox AC 30's and a 200 watt PA stood no chance when up against 1500 screaming pre-pubescent girls. Great gigs, Free with Kossof in all their glory, The Who when Moon would trash his kit and Townsend his guitar, Faces with Stewart, Wood and Lane, Edgar Broughton Band performing a 30 minute "Out Demons Out". The Clash, The Damned, Throbbing Gristle, Pere Ubu, Gang of Four, The Fall, Joy Division, the early Human League performing behind Perspex screens whilst the audience bottled them. More recently Circle (finland), Dead C (nz) and Acid Mothers Temple (japan) so loud my ears were hissing for 48 hrs afterwards. First gig I promoted The Rats at a Church Hall in Scarborough, 35 kids and a dog turned up we all ended up on stage with the band. The Rats later turned into Bowies band the Spiders from Mars. I'm proud to claim to have played air guitar on stage alongside Mick Ronson. First gig I played supporting Desperate Bicycles at Camden Musicians Collective, second supporting New Order at the Kentish Town Forum. First Football match Scarborough vs Frickley Colliery 1963, Leeds United was a few years later I can remember the atmosphere and the terraces and a 1 - 1 draw but I can't remember who it was against. This is now out of hand I'm stopping.
