i knew "sex crime", was okay i guess, so i listened to your other like track....i like it also, as you said, not your typical Eurythmics style...
the movie wasnt too bad also...but obviously not a patch on the George Orwell classic novel "1984" which i have read several times

JAKE BUGG "jake bugg" cd,2012.
stupid surname IMO, but thats as far as the stupid stuff goes ....
was eighteen when he recorded this,nineteen when it was released...
Bugg cites Donovan,John Cash,Dylan and Oasis as his influences, and you can hear it on this one...
the overall sound is very 1950s/60s mono/two track IMO(very sun records sounding)...
supported Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds on their european tour last year,Hussain Bolt took on his 'lightning bolt' track as his own during the 2012Olympics, so Bugg got a fair bit of exposure for free there!
heard this one playing at Tem's a few months ago and bought it on the spot,very good sounds happening even though the overall score does not reflect that(due to a few filler tracks towards the end of the disc), four singles released so far in the UK,none set the charts on fire but the album did reach #1 for a couple of weeks a several months ago, and it is still around the #10 mark on those charts...
a very good debut set,here's hoping Bugg continues to improve and expand his talent, if he does, he should have a half decent career ahead of himslef in the future

GREEN DAY "american idiot" cd,2004.
Green Day's finest studio album IMO....
plenty of guitar driven fist pumping sing-a-longs here along with s couple of heartfelt ballads and overblown epic tracks split into five seperate parts each(jesus of suburbia/ homecoming)....angst-ridden lyrics detailing the decline of US society over the previous decade or so...this is about as close to the politically edged GD got to The Clash in terms of lyrics and music, and as close to 'real' punk as they really ever got...
absolutely nothing on here that wasnt worthy of being a hit single....the song "wake me up when september ends" is a sad tale of vocalist Billie Joe's loss of his father several years previously in september...great stuff to pour out in a song IMO, he nails it perfectly with emotion and expression!
just simply a great album by a very good band at the peak of their creative flow IMO
the live links are simply superb here,awesome live band IMO,would love the opportunity to see them live someday!
I LOVE THIS ALBUM
