Rolling Stone's 25th greatest album of all time
Very strange and unsettling live album where James Brown seems to just try to seduce half of the audience, who scream almost the entire time. His performances are very visual so I think you miss a lot by only listening (there are times when the screaming intensifies and you have no idea why). A decent listen but the songs are not his best and the live aspect is similarly not perfect.

Rolling Stone's 8th greatest album of all time
Superb album. It is a bit of a shame that it is labelled as punk as that would put a lot of people off and make them miss out on such a wonderful masterpiece. This isn't "spit and middle finger" punk, it's political, thought-provoking and intelligent punk. For every London Calling, there is a Jimmy Jazz, for every Spanish Bombs there is a Train in Vain. Simply an awesome album.

"The Blue Nile are masters of the slow build, and Over The Hillside is a prime example. A lot of their songs make me cry, but this one in particular has this sense of hope and patience that becomes almost unbearably beautiful when Paul Buchanan sings, "Tomorrow I will be there / Just you wait and see." It almost sounds as if he's about to die and is singing to heaven...but heaven is a place on earth, after all."

"I'm thinking first of this American movie in color, for its '70s-based reverie. For the myth of the road movie, the journey across the states, the speed, the photographed youth, almost like a Robert Frank of cinema in color. The simple light and opaque nights, from a time where the movies were very sensitive to emotions but the rolls insensitive to light. Back then you needed to light a lot but this movie escaped the rule."

"I had a chance to work with Jack Nicholson, which was a real thrill. You can scoop out a lot of performances from Jack, and consider them as possible films you could add to this list, but that was a great performance. Roman Polanski‘s direction is incredible too. It’s a movie where, the first time you see it, it’s kind of shocking because you don’t know where it’s going and how big the story actually is that’s being told."

I love it, but it's also driving me mad! They were so close to kissing at the end of this and then he has to be an arse...

Off to start Volume 5!
  
Hmm...

I liked certain parts of this and others kinda bored me.

Rudy was hard work and sometimes I thought he was really sweet and others he annoyed me a little, though I know that's a lot unfair. It isn't his fault after all. I really feel for Ellis in this too.

Jon was amazing for both of them and likewise Ellis was Jon's salvation.

That being said I'm not sure if I want to continue this series.

I think it ended a bit abruptly and i wasn't convinced by the romance but it won me over a lot with Annika's dedication to her sick younger brother and the stories and the wishes and all the stuff she does to make him happy. I shed a few tears near the end when i thought it was going to be bad news--and with how it ended, it could still be bad news--but i did like it.
