Well since my hospital trip last Saturday I have been told to take it easy for a few days, so not really a lot has happened. I have been watching more dvd's than usual and also been listening to a lot more music too. One piece of semi-good news is that I have had my appointment through for my Gastroscopy (its next Thursday at 1.00pm). I am kind of glad but kind of nervous at the same time, if you know what I mean.
Had to cut down on a lot of food stuffs as didnt want to aggrevate it (if it is an ulcer...not sure).
Ok here are a few of the movies and cd;'s from this week.
Kaiser Chiefs - Employment - - A great cd and I dont think that there is a bad song on it. Some really catchy songs that are easy to sing along to including the very addictive I predict a Riot and Oh My God. All in all i would give this a 9 out of 10.
The Rasmus - Dead Letters - - Not everyone's cup of tea but I have a liking for The Rasmus and its nice to own one of their cd's. Some really heavy tracks including the popular In The Shadows, but for me the best track is The Funeral Song which is deep meaningful song with excellent lyrics and a nice melodic sound. I would give this an 8 out of 10.
Various - Pure Moods - - One of the best compilations of mood music with artists such as Jarre, Vangelis, Oldfield and Enigma. Very relaxing and calming. I would give this an 8 out of 10.
Chicane - The Best of - - Some really good dance tunes and very good guest singers including Tom Jones, Natasha Bedingfield and Bryan Adams. This cd covers everything from their early years to the present day. Well worth a listen. I would give it a 8 out of 10.
Meat Loaf - The Very Best of - - Well for any fan this is the ultimate package. It contains all the classics from Bat out of Hell to Life is a Lemon. The good thing about this compilation is it also includes a few of his less well know songs such as Is Nothing Sacred and A Kiss is a Terrible Thing to Waste. Thoroughly enjoyable and some of the songs take me back years. I would give it a 10 out of 10.
Kelly Clarkson - Stronger - - This one was more for Deb than me but after listening to it I realise what an awesome album it is. She manages to reach notes that seem impossible and the range and strength of her vocals is phenomenal. Stand out tracks include the title track Stronger and the catchy Mr Know it All. I would give this a 9 out of 10.
Now onto movies. This week we have watched Black Sheep (totally mad film but its a car crash film because you just couldnt stop watching it). I kind of liked it because of how ridiculous it was. When I saw the mutant sheep all i could think of was the Spitting Image puppets (watch it and tell me I am wrong !!!!)
Also this week we watched the new Muppets Movie and It was as good as I expected. Its a feel good film and everyone needs one of these every so often. It was good to see that they have kept all the old favourites in (Kermit, Gonzo, Fozzy, Miss Piggy, Animal etc....) and also that they had not tried to modernize the characters. It was also good to see them stick to the old Muppet Show style with Stadler and Waldorf making sarcastic comments and beaker taking the brunt of bad experiments. I thought it was a classic film that will be enjoyed by all ages. One thing left to say...........Ma-nah-Ma-nah doo doo do doo doo. LOL
