Plan B - Stay Too Long (Explicit Director's Cut)

funky, funky, jazzy, groovy - and the OTT decadent, gangsta style vid's pretty good too!

Plan B - Stop Me (Like A Version)

Stop me oh, oh, oh stop me... I just seem to keep finding so much i love from the multi-talented Ben Drew singing Mark Ronson's incredible lyrics with such brilliant intensity.

it's a cracker!

Let's face it, The Sun is a comic. Never in a million years could it pretend to be a serious paper. Although Murdoch revels in the power of 'It's The Sun Wot Done It!' ie won the election for the 'Snories'! And I loathe that distasteful egotistical man.

Ayway I digress...despite my derision for the lack of quality reporting - I do have a secret admiration for the comic value of Sun headlines. And seeing the Nike footie ad with glimpses of England in Roo ins! ( Roonie - geddit) reminded me of some real stonkers of headlines. So feast your eyes and have a good laff!...

feel

Lissie - When I'm Alone (Live). Am busier than Clare Sweeney at panto time - but not too busy to be inspired by this. Poetic lyrics that speak volumes, a voice that packs a 240V power punch and a ballsy rock chick edge...lovin' Lissie!

Feel

Feel the funk, feel the soul, feel the electricity!!! Legendary video with Tarantino-style Death Proof car chase, the soulful/funky/rappy voices of Bobby Womack and Mos Def - amazing animatics and Bruce Willis in super cool badass mode. Hooked!

"Suzanne" Ft. Leonard Cohen - Plan B A2 Media Studies Advanced Productio...

totally, utterly, gobshitely realistically chilling with some kind of leonard cohen poetically ethereal edge without sounding
pretentious but loving the grim reality of the lyrics!

Smitten

Plan B is my new musical obsession - body-shiver voice, totally switched-on lyrics, incredible swagger - what's not to love, love, love!

Discombobulate!




A right old duffer of a word…cumbersome and evocative of something just out of moth balls, but used liberally in the Sunday Times mag yesterday.

WTF!

What is it with ‘mot du jour’ words the press latch onto. What the hell’s wrong with confound, confuse, fox, bedevil, befuddle, throw, bewilder, befuddle, dumbfound, flummox, baffle, mystify, nonplus, perplex, puzzle, stupefy, amaze, gravel, vex, pose, stick, beat?

Flummox is a far superior word – sharper, quirkier and symmetrical with a dash of flair and flourish to convey its meaning far more clearly than discombobulate.

Thank you!

Frozen River-movie Trailer 2008




Totally amazing movie - have meant to watch it for some time. Though dark at times, the characterisation is so vivid and the themes so universal - it grips like a vice. Let's hear for great roles for women and fabulous female directors!!!
