"I had to chop out Songs Of Love & Hate by Leonard Cohen, but I've got a later man-and-acoustic-guitar record that I think I like a little more. What I've got in now is October Language by Belong. The first Belong album is just synthesised guitar noise but incredibly serene and beautiful. It's a pretty unique record. The only record that I could compare it to through personal experience is Endless Summer by Fennesz, the so-distorted-that-it-starts-to-confuse-you guitar noise. It's just a wonderful record. It's a great record to listen to while travelling. I think that's the best circumstance to listen to music in. Where did I discover it? Probably record shopping. I'm really good friends with the guys who work in Monorail, and they have quite a good gist of what music I like, so there's a good chance I went in and they threw it at me and said 'this has got you written all over it'."

This was a really emotional film, I was surprised quit how much of it got to me. There's a genuine battle between loving and hating Edie for a significant portion of the film. While I felt the triumph of the whole endeavour, I'm not really sure that I came out liking her. Or several of the characters for that matter. The only one I really came out liking was Jonny, who let's face it, was too nice for his own good.

It's a story of perseverance, and you do need some to make it through. It says that the film is 1hr 42. It felt like every minute of that, and several more. I wasn't so bored that I was making shopping lists in my head, but had I been watching it at home I'd have switched channels. It is a nice film, that I'm glad I watched. But I won't be watching it again.
