I was hoping not to write too much for this month's blog (cough). Well, um... obviously that went out the window.

Hi everyone just thought I'd round up the last bits of Gorillaz information before the end of the year. I got 'Phase Two: Slowboat To Hades' a little while ago and its absolutely fantastic! Promo videos, live performances, interviews, indents, trailers and more. Slowboat' is just brimming with the stuff. An excellent DVD to end this epic 'Phase'. I highly recommend it!

In addition to this Gorillaz autobiography, 'Rise of the Ogre' has finally revealed the true behind the El Mañana video: It's was staged and Noodle (the Japanese girl) is still alive!!! Aside from this the whole book is an amazing romp through the world of Gorillaz. The albums, the breakdowns, the romances, the- (OK I better stop before this gets weird! LOL!). But it’s truly a great read, with new art for Jamie Hewlett that is unmatched and some accounts from the band that truly are laugh-out-loud!

Finally I don't think the band is splitting as a 'Gorillaz movie' and 'Phase Three' have now been confirmed. That’s great news for the fans and the band. The only bad news really is that it could be some wait before the movie comes out! O well, bring it on...

TV

Over in this Universe...

I’ve just finished watching the 5th series of Spooks and what a series it's been this year! The best yet in my opinion. Adam and Ros trapped in drowning peril at the end (with a cliff-hanger as usually). Bring on Series 6! Torchwood's started on BBC THREE. Not bad, I hope they keep up that standard and have a quality season finale. And at last, Hustle - Season 3 is finally coming to DVD on Feb 2007! It’s high-class series about a talented group of con artists. With cons sharper than 'Ocean's Eleven' (no joke, I love that movie), great writing and characters, Hustle is one of the best TV dramas of recent years.

Hustle is has been growing in popularity over in the US. It's shown regularly on AMC. If you live in the States I recommend you check it out. Here's the TV.com page: http://www.tv.com/hustle/show/21390/summary.html and the AMC Hustle site: http://www.hustle.amctv.com/

PlayStation 3 not coming to Europe until March 2007... nuf said.

In the mean time PSP is rockin'! With Killzone: Libertion, Ridge Racer 2 and whole host of old games this is the one thing keeping me play (games wise).

Other Stuff...
