This Apocalyptica album had been lying around for months. If I had written the review immediately after receipt it would have been a lot different. The album grew on me after a while. I was very disappointed ... http://marcaprice.com/reviews/apocalyptica-worlds-collide-popmatters-review/ It landed on my mat today. The twentieth Doctor Who Magazine Special Edition came wrapped in its slightly torn brown wrapper. I like to think that the wrapper was torn not because of the long trip from Leicestershire to the Netherlands but because its contents were bursting to get out. ... http://marcaprice.com/film-tv/doctor-who-special-20-the-series-four-companion/ I had a lot of fun with this review. OK I sound a little disparaging in places but I quite enjoyed the album in a funny sort of way. It reminded me of my youth. There is also a certain irony in the fact that I noticed Amazon is packaging ... http://marcaprice.com/reviews/whitesnake-good-to-be-bad-popmatters-review/ WARNING: No actual spoilers are contained in this post. In today's information rich society it is nigh impossible to get through the day without finding out new information. Quite often you learn things that you would rather have not found out in the first place or wish that you could un-learn. ... http://marcaprice.com/film-tv/spoilers/ So this review was a long time coming.

What ... http://marcaprice.com/reviews/asia-phoenix-popmatters-review/ I may have failed to mention in my review that I knew the lead singer of this band when I was at school (but not when he was at school). Alan Adams once called the first band I was in "the most exciting band he had seen since the Southern ... http://marcaprice.com/reviews/eastfielddestructors-666-labor-omnia-vincit-popmatters-review/ I had forgotten that I had done this little review. It is a very cool CD tapping the Wilco vein. I say CD but I seem to be able to find it available for MP3 download. Well worth $9 for hot August night listening... The frontman of Cheyenne, Beau ... http://marcaprice.com/reviews/beau-jennings-holy-tulsa-thunder-popmatters-review/ This stark little record is nothing really very new in musical terms but it does give goosebumps. Any recording that provokes some kind of physical response has to be worth the investment of a few dollars. It doesn't look like this album is available in the UK yet but ... http://marcaprice.com/reviews/lisa-cerbone-we-were-all-together-popmatters-review/ This record disturbed me, I wanted to know when it was going to do something other than what was established during the first track. When it finally did, it was something so completely different and off the wall that the rest of the album paled into insignificance. Not a good ... http://marcaprice.com/reviews/mud-yearbook-music-popmatters/ The ever present Blogtor Who has posted a preview clip for the upcoming Doctor Who episode "Turn Left". Those of you in the UK are able to view this us folk outside cannot. Well unless you check out the video in this post of course. Planet Gallifrey has posted it too, ... http://marcaprice.com/film-tv/turn-left-preview-clip/
