App Rating

Very useful app

Shazam is pretty much as synonymous with identifying music as Google is to internet searching. Whenever you hear a piece of music you don't know, you automatically say "I'll shazam it" and it really works. There's only a rare occasion when it hasn't been able to identify a song and that is usually down to low volume or too loud background noise. It's so easy to use as well.

The only negative I can think of is the app itself has become a little too commerialised. I just want to know the name & artist of a song, yet now as well as this you get advertisements, options to purchase, YouTube videos, Twitter, other recommendations. I know this is how things are nowadays but for me it's all a bit too much.

Kudos

Book Rating

A surprising debut!

Another book that I didn't expect to like, but the snappy dialogue drew me in much more than the action (to begin with!).
This has been described as Indiana Jones (if he didn't know anything about archaeology) crossed with Tomb Raider (except Nolan is NO Lara Croft!). This is hack archaeology on YouTube which no expert would touch with a barge pole, but the conspiracy theorists love.
The build up left me wanting to visit the Grand Canyon, the middle part made me think twice. The end made me glad there are photos!
It's a bit Sci-fi, adventure, mystery and really quite funny. I really enjoyed it and will look out for any follow-ups!
Thank you to the Pigeonhole for sharing this novel!

River of time wasted

River of darkness is just bad, not even one of those movies that are so bad that their good, this movie was just an absolute disaster from the beginning, I have no idea what the director or producer were thinking, they shoulda just stopped to save face but they didn't.

When this movie dropped I was drawn to it as fan impact wrestling fka TNA which starred their talent (at the time) I remember paying £10 for this crud and regretting it (although I've since bought it again for £1- nostalgia I guess)

If you wanna try it out either pay cheap or maybe its on YouTube?

Had a great plot idea but the budget must have been zilch.
