    I am not a gamer but I really enjoyed this book.  

     

    Very enjoyable book. I didn't know anyone still wrote books in that hysterical realism style, but glad to find they do.

     

    I don't think you need to be a gamer, I would say I have not really been one for about 25 years but I've still kept an interest in what is going on and picked up a controller occasionally. The detail of game development is part of what makes it such a richly detailed world. There were a few things in it where I thought if you didn't know games you would probably want to have a google to figure out what the characters were talking about!

    Happy New Year, everyone! What are your most anticipated movies for 2023? Me, I'm eager for the new Scorsese.

    Thinking I will make my first trip to the cinema since Covid to watch Tár (not out in the UK yet). That aside I've woken up my Netflix account from a 5 year slumber and so have quite the backlog of stuff I'm interested in!

  3. Give don’t believe the truth another shot it’s great!

    I think it got a fair hearing at the time. I'm having flashbacks now to how every Oasis album would be presented by the NME as a 'return to form!', it never was.....

     

    Just looked on Wikipedia though and that was the album that originally was going to be Death In Vegas produced.

  4. Everynow and then I wonder if I was wrong about liking Oasis, a lot of things I liked 25 years ago I'm not that into now. But if you go back and watch footage from 94, 95 or 96 they were a great rock and roll band. I am in something of a minority by liking Be Here Now, but I don't think they made any good music after that. Noel Gallagher taking over production duties was the big mistake I reckon.

     

    If only that Death In Vegas produced record could have happened!

  5. Ohmme only had a half-hour set each night, but it changed things up as much as one could reasonably expect from night to night and that effort was appreciated by me, if no one else.

     

     

    Me too! My excitement about the support led to me getting London and Manchester tickets. First time I have bought tickets for 2 shows on a tour, for any band. Of course Ohmme coming on at 6.45 in Manchester could have screwed things up...

     

    Very appreciative to hear a rare live rendition of 'You, your face'.

     

    I think everyone else has said enough about Wilco!

  6. If someone was to describe that track to me or I read about it in a music review I'd probably think it sounded incredibly pretentious and to be avoided at all costs - as it is I love it. I don't know how they made that particular drone so intriguing but it works on me, I almost never skip it.
