Music to your big ears

Bloody heck! Not done a blog for ages? I turned 27 the other day so thought “hello, that thing!” Here’s a quick one about songs’n that.

Climbing: what could possibly go wrong?

I saw 127 Hours the other day. I thought I’d write about it and include images from the film which might be a bit illegal. Ooh danger! Read on. Don’t worry, it won’t spoil it… too much.

Danny Boyle is hoping to make it two Oscars in a row with this true story about mountain climber Aaron Rolston whose arm was trapped under a boulder for five days before he eventually cut it off with a blunt blade. It stars James Franco. Is it bloody great, or just bloody?
