The most beautiful place in the country IMO. Great chance of seeing rare wildlife: I saw a humpback whale making a dive during one of the beach hikes there earlier this year. Almost impossible over here..almost.

Great thread FG, I'm happy like a five year old in a kindergarten yard when I talk about what I got Ouch!

I went on a shopping spree on Amazon, lol Grin

Books: Jown Fowles' "The Magus" which I've been meaning to read for years, a Heath Ledger bio and Jeff Kinney's 4th instalment of "Wimpy Kid" which I highly recommend to all, the humor is out of this world good.

Music: Tracker's soundtrack for the "Blankets" graphic novel, Brett Anderson's "Slow Attack" and a DVD of Depeche Mode's Exciter tour as a fix for my DM addiction Cheesy

No Stones stuff this year Shocked

Hi FotiniD!,

I was just informed that in about 2002 Brittany Murphy was in a movie "Spun" with Mickey Rourke and Eric Roberts (Julia's talented older brother). BM played a drug addict. The movie went straight to dvd....

Btw, Mickey Rourke and Eric Roberts were in "The Pope of Greenwich Village" together. Wink

Hey FG! You know, my friends keep telling me I should watch Spun and that I'll love it. Thanks for the reminder, must definitely watch this one

By the way, off topic but I don't remember if we've discussed this: have you seen "Control"? Great movie too, I think you'd like it.

Hi FG!

Yep, I bought his solo album upon its release and I absolutely love it – very electro, very modern and very, very, cool.

I caught him last Tuesday at the HMV Forum, Kentish Town – same venue where Keith and the Wino’s performed in ’92. He was moody and magnificent and dressed in leather. In fact, the lighting was so dark, that it was hard to make him out – and I was near the front! He performed Phrazes For The Young in its entirety, plus a Christmas song – cannot remember which one – at the very end. The audience lapped him up and it was a very good evening: I think you are in for a treat.

From what I gather, we can expect plenty of Strokes activity in 2010!

On a different note: I stumbled across this here video on youtube – it dates from 2002 and is the first filmed Libertines interview. It’s nice to see Pete so fresh faced, awake and coherent!

Merry Xmas and a happy new year to you, too
