Dave has his say + I heart Justin Vernon
Initially I really couldn't be bothered to write a blog but being off sick for a few days with nothing to do coupled with the fact that my name has been brought up a few of times in recent blogs I thought I should have my say.
Firstly I would like to backup my views shared third hand by Brad in blog 001. In my opinion Avatar did suck, was indeed pootastic and beyond the pretty visuals I felt offered nothing. The story and dialouge was cliched and predictable every step of the way. I can't forgive a film that takes itself super seriously and has the line "I didn't sign up for this sh#t".
Yes watching in 3d is fun but My Bloody Valentine 3d had an equally by the book plot but was a much more enjoyable experience. Admittedly if it wasn't so popular I probably wouldn't be so harsh but it just makes me a little bit sad that such an uninspired film (visuals excluded) can be the highest-grossing of all time.
Ok enough with the moaning...
Is anyone a fan of Bon Iver?
Well I am, Great chill out music the day after that messy Faults gig! (After you've listened to our acoustic podcast that is)
What I didn't realise was that he had done stuff under his real name, Justin Vernon, before he made it with the Bon Iver.
Supposedly he made 100 copies and sold them in his local record shop, or so I read someone read somewhere online.
Follow that link to listen to title track Hazelton and ask Google where to download the rest of it if you're interested. If you like what you hear go get For Emma, Forever ago.
Hopefully my Avatar comments will make people care enough to have their say, so if anyone actually reads this, leave us a comment 
Peace and love
