Unless we are very fortunate, working out who really is on your side and who only wants a piece of the action you are supplying, loyalty a word missing from the stunted vocabulary, is almost akin to living through a Film Noir in which you are the shady detective and everyone, including the musical score, is conspiring against you and hoping that you will, with open arms, Receive the Deceiver.

It may have come too late for New Tricks to be come back after this particular run, the last words have pretty much been said on what has been a tremendous drama, however in Last Man Standing, the two part opener to what is the last series, the team have arguably their finest moment in the sun.
The Universe is dying,
the scream of the victim
and the whimpering quiet pleading
has been heard since it was born
against its will and left urgently
on the doorstep
of the nearest milkman
to deliver on his rounds.
Long since has it passed the anger and frustration
of youth and its quiet dogged resistance to Middle Age
in which it lost its maidenhead to Entropy
in a quick fumble beside the sea of forever
and the loss of the phone number hastily scribbled

Every tale of heroism has a beginning, every superhero a back story in which the reality of their true nature shines through and the grip on the reader’s imagination starts to take hold.
The one huge problem with graphic novels and comic books is how time outstrips the development of the character. One Fantastic Four reader wrote to Marvel in the 1970s and explained how one year in time in their Universe was worth three to four in the real world, by which logic the average reader has moved on and only leaving the dedicated to follow the story line on ad-infinitum.

That voodoo that they do so well really does set the feet tapping beyond the expectation of what the ears demand when asking to be stimulated and encouraged to try something new.
It is in the art of the story teller that such songs come bouncing out of the cage like a pent up fighter seeking to land the first punch but to whom the necessity of doing so causes grief, much better that the tussle between mind and ear be mutual and one of understanding and it is to this that the four track self titled E.P. by Mama Roux really gives its life and respect too.

A contradiction should always be used for a basis of an argument when the truth is as shady as a large canopy spread over a wide area and with the Sun and the rain both beating down on it with vigorous ambition. Contradiction should not be employed when discussing Maximo Park’s Paul Smith’s latest project with the Imitations, the musically absorbing Contradictions.
For sale:
One fairly careful,
but sometimes under-valued owner
prone to breakdown on occasions
when the weather and temperament gets too hot,
has rust spots where lack of full thrust
and fifth gear has only ever been imagined
but never put in practice.
Right headlight needs work,
best not try on full beam as photophobia
may upset other users.
Stereo works well, too well, sometimes
only available on loud, especially when
the mood hits and the upbeat open road
seems clear of clutter, place objects in way,

The paradise island of Lampedusa, where North Africa meets Rome, home of postcard vistas, white sand beaches, and the site of the most devastating debris washing up on the shore.
