Nice ones from Airbourne, At Vance, Blind Melon, Wig Wam and the Jellyfish tribute.
Redemption - Snowfall On Judgment Day deserve special credit for interesting progressive metal but those crazy Germans have made another interesting album with Rammstein - Liebe Ist Fur Alle Da. I especially like Pussy.
Best CD from ages past purchased
Airbourne – Runnin' Wild 2007
Robin Beck – Trouble Or Nothin’ 1989
Blackfield - Live In NYC 2007
Michael Jackson - Off The Wall 1979
Michael Jackson - Thriller 1982
I can see why Thriller sold a lot but Robin Beck is great 80s style well shiny produced female voiced rock and Airbourne – Runnin' Wild just plain rock like the spawns of AC/DC that they are.

Gig of the Month
Newton Faulkner
Edguy
Delain
Newton Faulkner because it was far better than I had hoped. The other 2 were good but I knew what to expect from them. Newton is a great acoustic talent.
Cinema film of the Month
Alice In Wonderland looked wonderful but was missing a certain je ne sais quoi. The Crazies was a very different type of film which kept me hooked throughout. There were even some rather shocking scenes.
Film on TV
Red Belt
Into the Blue
I Love You, Man
Inkheart
We both enjoyed the humour in I Love You, Man mainly thanks to the tried and tested new wave comedy actors Paul Rudd and Jason Segal who along with a good supporting cast who know how to do funny & charming.
Rewatched Film on TV
Things To Do In Denver When You’re Dead

13 Hours In A Wherehouse
The Boat That Rocked
From Paris With Love
Road Trip 2 – Beer Pong
Soriety Row
Everything Is Illuninated
Shutter Island
Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief
Everything Is Illuminated was odd, funny, touching, a bit foreign (Ukraine) and starred the brilliant Eugene Hutz from Gogol Bordello (oh and Elijah Wood). A great bit of differnceness :)
