Advantages: Original baroque style folk/rock, groundbreaking album Disadvantages: Originality can challenge some people's mainstream tastes
Now I don't often write music reviews, however having recently bought the Fleet Foxes album, I am compelled to rave about them.
Now this band are like no other in todays music, however I guess there comparisons can be made with an earlier more ecletic mix of crosby stills and nash mixed with fleetwood mac, add a smuttering of Brian Wilson from the beach boys and Bob Dylan and your kinda getting close.
Their routes are definietly in folk music, with what I like to call "Peasant Rock"......weired I know, but its really hard to pigeon hole them and essentially this is why I like them so much. Originality in todays music is the holy grail and much like one of my other favourite bands Sigur Ros, Fleet Foxes stand alone with a unique blend of folky pop/rock.

Advantages: Great food, there's a brewery underneath. Disadvantages: No real "taste" of the "real" Liverpool.
We visited The Baltic Fleet last autumn, when we were in Liverpool for the day. We found it by accident ~ we were looking for somewhere to eat on a busy Sunday and were at The Albert Dock. There were surprisingly few pubs around and what eateries there were looked extremely crowded.
This was our first visit to Liverpool so we didn't know our way around ~ so we set off away from the Albert Dock where we could see what looked like a pub; they were bound to be serving Sunday lunches! The street we were on turned out to be Wapping and the pub turned out to be The Baltic Fleet ~ and, oh, it WAS serving lunches; thank goodness 'cos by now we were starving!
~~~How to get there.
The pub can be found not far away from the Albert Dock at 33a The Wapping, Liverpool. I'm no good at directions so there is a map at http ...
Advantages: Great cast, director and musical director Disadvantages: Awkward performance as a musical.
Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, is essentially a remake of George King's 1936 classic, where the malicious Sweeney Todd murders people for their money. This 2007 version takes Stephen Sondheim's stage production of the tale into the cinema, with the pairing of Tim Burton and Johnny Depp as Director and Lead Actor once again rearing its sublime head.
It is important to note from the outset that there are scenes of a gory nature and that the film is by nature a 'musical.'
The plot
Depp plays Benjamin Barker, a doting husband to Lucy and father to Johanna making his living as a barber. He is accused of a crime he did not commit and banished from London by a judge (played by Alan Rickman) who wishes to covet Barker's wife, Lucy. 15 years later, Barker returns to London under the guise of Sweeney Todd, to find his ...
