Book Rating
One of those books that I've always felt was required reading (like The Lord of the Rings), but boy oh boy: was that heavy going!

Not a novel to read for the fun of it: Melville goes so heavily into the minutae of life aboard a whaler that, at times, it's more like reading a (exceedingly dry) technical tome than reading an actual novel. I think you could chop a good 2/3rds of the book out, and still get the flavour of the plot ...

Dangerous game I'm.playing

Reviewing the knot after one listen
I remember kerrang calling the unknown band the white wu tang clan, following by them or metal hammer destroying my mind worth the inclusion of eyelets on their cover CD. Seriously
Fast forward to the 42 year old now who sees past the theatrics but since verse 3 loves the band as the anthemic heavy grinders they are.
After first listen o think this CD is meandering cheap...but I'll be back lol

Rolling Stone's 489th greatest album of all time
Oh dear me. This truly was dreadful in my opinion, just a few heavy rock songs about being in a rock band, then a slow sex song for the ladies, and then back to more mindless rock. In theory this should have been a treat for me but it was a real bad listen. It reminded me so much of Vic and Bob in this scene that I just couldn't take it seriously:

Movie Rating Watch
Much of the storyline is a bit fuzzy throughout the entire film, with some exceptions. Specifically the final third of the movie. But what makes 21 Bridges special is the acting. Chadwick Boseman shows he truly has high quality acting chops without relying on heavy CGI and an extensive supporting cast. JK Simmons also shows up in a role that suits his style quite nicely. Great fight scenes make this movie a very worthy action flick that you should grab a bucket of popcorn and enjoy.

"Motörhead on the other hand are very much included in that heavy metal thing. My tribute to Lemmy would be that he was genuine, through and through. He never posed behind any manner of falsehood. He was exactly what he stood for: a rock & roller through and through. 

I once heard it said that he caught one of his sons, he caught his youngster extolling the virtues of speed. And Lemmy said: ""Naw, don't get too much behind speed. What you want is weed!”"
