It's a superb combination. I thought Tarantino did a great job of mixing the brutal with the surreal with that amazing scene in True Romance with all the feathers flying. It’s a superb combination.

I usually don't like mashups, but I love the soundtrack's blend of Diamanda's "I Put A Spell On You" cover with Jane's Addiction's "Ted Just Admit It" in "Sex Is Violent". The Cowboy Junkies rendition of "Sweet Jane" is pretty great, too.

Even if I post really late, most of America is up and about, so I tend to be okay. It's only the really early ones that don't have the viewers, so I tend to just delay anything I write early until at least lunchtime. I can't imagine anyone reading this and offering me a job really. Unless that job was scaring children at a birthday party. I don't think editors are imaginative enough to <i>imagine</i> me writing without the swearing and abuse and I don't think I'm keen enough to cut it out. I think I’m lucky in that respect.

Ahh, I guess I understand that. I wish I still had it in me to post as much as I did when I first started :-p. And Hopefully my BSP post will help me out when I post it on Monday (Released 2-12-08 here in the States). Surprisingly my Moleskine Reviews generate a good amount of hits for whatever reason. as far as Hype front page listings I guess that's where you get the benefit of being across the pond. I write my posts at around 10PM EST, which means they get picked up by Hype at around 3AM, thus not too much traffic happening for me. Ah well, I doubt any magazine editor will send me an unsolicited email from reading my blog offering me a job or anything, so the fact that I'm writing pretty regularly will help. :-D lol.

It gets three front page Hype moments a week, which is all it takes. Vampire Weekend was quite big, as was British Sea Power. And the likes of Dylan and Waits are always popular. This post, actually, was massive for Hype love. Harry at the moment I am posting a lot, and that makes a big difference. It gets three front page Hype moments a week, which is all it takes.

I feel like a shmuck now. I think I'm averaging about 400 :-/ Ah well, I will admit your blog is more fun than mine, that's for sure. Damn Matthew, 1000 hits a day! I feel like a shmuck now.

Arse, sorry about that. Actually it kind of works if you ask me. Shows the rest of us up a little for taking hundreds too many words to express something inherently simple! Did you?

I'm not exactly verbose, am I? In your defence, you clearly asked for a little more. In mine, I'm a lazy fool who misread it the first time and just thought you'd be taking snippets from everyone and throwing them all into a single post. Btw, I did leave a comment here once before...

I was just making the point that for the most part I actually have no idea who actually reads this site. Now I know John, and you. It's interesting actually, because most of the friend requests I get on Last.fm or Facebook are people who never leave comments. They just say hello in a different way, which is really nice. I was musing, more than anything. Vance - why is it that you can't listen to it now? Overplayed, actually gone off the music or is it just way too associated with one particular time in your life?

I was in the Army and I used to listen to the soundtrack front to back over, and over, and over. I can't stand to listen to it now, but at one point in time and space, this soundtrack defined my world. Back in the day when this movie first came out (1995 or so?)
