Badger’s Eurovision Round Up, Part Deux

Well, we said if you asked we would, and we are true to our word.  Amadeus said the following: Hello Badger, I liked the songs of Italy and Belguim too. Please let me know what you thought of those songs? And what about Australia to enter the competition? Thanks big

Badger’s Eurovision Round Up

Well despite Badger’s slightly ironic Twitter commentary (you know you love it even if you pretend to ignore it or not know its happening) this year’s special 60th Anniversary addition of the contest was very good.  This was not least due to the excellent hosting of Austria.  The theme of

Badger’s 2014 Movie Picks

Pride This is number one on the list for a reason, what a fantastic film.  I saw it three times, and each time the cinema was full.   It is fantastic to finally see a film that centralises what is usually considered fringe communities.  Despite being very interested in both

Film Review: A Monster in Paris

Well, today I went to see a film, so I thought I’d share my thoughts with you.  This seemed to me to be a rather clever take on the story of King Kong.  In a freak accident a flea gets blown up to 7ft tall and terrorises Paris.  As it

CD Review. Catherine Sykes: Something Wonderful

When Newsnibbles asked me if I would review Something Wonderful by Catherine Sykes, my first question was, “Is it a concept album?”  The response, “No, it’s jazz,” gave me pause for thought.  I don’t know anything about jazz.  That said; I don’t actually know anything about metal and no-one seems to have noticed so far:
