Album Favorite

"I was about 14, 15 when I first heard this. There was a period just before punk when I was at grammar school. Grammar school being grammar school they tended to like these white rock bands. That was where I got introduced to bands like Yes, Zeppelin, Tangerine Dream, that I also liked. For me, they are my favourite American rock band. Their synergy, the way they play together, and again the engineering of that album, I don't think was ever surpassed. It's got everything. I suppose the Beach Boys might be contenders, but the Doors are my favourites."

Rock em Sock em Robots?

Feel good family film that plays like a version of Rocky, in a future (of 2020!) where robot boxing has replaced the real thing, with Hugh Jackman portraying a down on his luck boxer who reconnects with his estranged 11 year old son over a summer period, following the demise of his ex.

All the main beats from Rocky are here: the rags to riches story, the romance/love story bit, the final boxing match against an opponent named after a Greek God...

(NB that's not to say this isn't enjoyable: it is!)
