WHEATUS
Live |
| Squeaky
voices at the London Astoria. |
|
 |
| Well
I missed Wheatus the first time they came to the UK; at least
I think it was the first time. It was just before 'Teenage Dirtbag'
hit the charts and the gig was in Camden. Not my most favourite
of places

FORTUNE
AND GLORY
Brian Michael Bendis |
| Bendis'
adventures in Hollywood. |
|
 |
| Now
I'm not going to pretend to be Brian Michael Bendis' biggest
fan and start going on about how I've liked his work for years,
ever since the first Jinx comics came out etc., because that
would just be a lie

of us were really in the mood for a gig tonight. For a start
it was a Saturday, which may seem like the perfect night, but
secondly it was raining, and thirdly it was in London. This
causes a problem because

PERFECT
STORM
All washed up |
| A
sea-salty tale of courage. |
|
 |
| Films
that are 'based on a true story' have never really appealed
to our generation or Saturday night moviegoers. They have always
carried a certain air that only seems to appeal to mothers on
a rainy Sunday afternoon

LINKIN
PARK
Hybrid Theory |
| Nu-metal
gets all tuneful. |
|
 |
| OK,
how long is this 'nu-metal' thing going to go on for? It's done
great things for metal and rock, no doubt about it. An industry
and genre that didn't seem to move in terms of style and substance
has been given a dramatic makeover

AIR
PUNCHING
The top 5 songs of all time |
|
Helping you to remember. |
|
 |
| Music
can induce a number of emotions, from love, passion and elation
to despair, sorrow and anger. It can sometimes even make us
unwillingly express these emotions, be it hugging a loved one,
dancing like some deranged idiot

FINAL
FIGHT
Retro arcade |
| A
genre defining arcade moment. |
|
 |
| If
there was one game that gladly accepted almost all of my holiday
pocket money during the summer of 1990 it was Final Fight. The
beautifully rounded and colourful graphics really made it stand
out

BACK
TO THE FUTURE
Retrospective |
| A
reason to sleep in your clothes. |
|
 |
| Back
To The Future was the movie of the 1980's (or at least
its up there within the top 5). It took Michael J Fox, known
at the time as 'geeky' Alex from Family Ties to the cool skateboarding
Marty McFly.

| Monkeys
are cool. There is no doubt that the modern icon for the irreverent
and humorous is the monkey, they have funny faces, they make
funny noises, they act something like humans and the swing around
