2011...
It's been a busy start to the new year, we've got half the nations of North Africa following a domino pattern after Tunisia's government tumbled, the Sudan showed that not every single political change in the continent has to end in bloodshed. Australia is proudly stearing itself towards an imitation of the USA a hundred years ago, and Silvio Berlusconi is still in power despite being accused of rape and drug dealing, on top of the usual charges of bribery, election rigging and mafia connections. And in the UK the conservatives have predictably, if somewhat ahead of schedule, fucked the economy completely. 2011 kicks last years teeth in already!

Bonnie "Prince" Billy
Exams are over, school is out, the kids are in, there is no doubt. A perfect choice of song to celebrate that mood

Black Swan
Absolutely beautiful, every single shot is an erotic stimulant. And of course there is that particular scene with Nathalie Portman and Mila Kunis. Y'know which one I mean.

Jeffrey Lewis & Peter Stumpfel
A mega awesome show in Birmingham (via getting lost a lot). Jeff was great, showed a couple of very neat cartoons about Pocahontas and the French Revolution. Peter Stumpfel was a superbly moustached revelation. Together they sung about five classic Jeff songs, and the rest of a lengthy (in a positive respect) set was dedicated to songs written by Stumpfel or his label mates from 'freakfolk', such as the classic 'Bottle Caps' up above there. Jeffrey had a hilarious argument with the sound guy afterwards to really complete the night.
