There can't be a rock band anywhere who haven't had a copy of This Is Spinal Tap on the tour bus. Not only is Rob Reiner's tale of a gormless heavy metal act neck-and-neck with Airplane! as the funniest film ever made. It's also so uncannily true to life that, ever since its 1985 release, actual rock dinosaurs have been squabbling over who is the real-life inspiration.

Remember when mockumentaries made sense? The classics - Albert Brooks' 1979 series "Real Life," the genre's "Birth of a Nation"; the 1984 rock mockumentary "This Is Spinal Tap," its "Citizen Kane"; and "The Office," which one supposes would be the "Battleship...

This week has been somewhat action-packed. On Tuesday we went to see Spinal Tap playing at Wembley - supported by The Folksmen for double glee points. It was a pretty awesome gig, even if there seemed to be more unironic rocker-age around than I expected. The material from the new album is awesome, and for added fun we got to see Keith Emerson stab a Hammond organ with a Gurkha knife. We had VIP tickets,...

2NE1 are getting ready to release their first mini-album on July 8th. The main track from this is I Don't Care. They've released 2NE1 is the form a digital single in order to give us a little teaser of what we are going to get from the girls and I personally think it's going to big hit. It's one of these songs that you can on a sunny day open all the windows and turn the volume up to 11 (Spinal

If you don't know about Spinal Tap I'm afraid that the title of this very brief entry and the contents themselves will not mean a lot to you. For the rest, guess what? I've just gone on to "listen again" on BBC7 via Mozilla Firefox. The volume wasn't great on the iPlayer so I turned it up to max and yes, it really did GO UP TO ELEVEN!!! Comments

After flirting with the idea of only coaching home games (Mitch Kupchak: “Not bloody likely!”), then mulling retirement, Phil Jackson announced today that he’s returning as coach of the Lakers, full time. Apparently finished with a battery of medical tests more thorough than the ones administered to Linda Blair in “The Exorcist,” Phil The Departed [...]

Another week is in the process of bypassing me. I write this on Wednesday at about 2:20 so my 2nd bout of physio for the day is due to start in ten minutes. There really is no rest for the wicked, even though I prefer the hot weather it's not too helpful with staying awake, and in case those in and around London haven't noticed it isn't the driest most pleasant heat! Never being able to use the tube...

Despite what they say about first impressions, in music it's the second impression that can be the most important. Call it what you want, the sophomore jinx or the sophomore slump, the second album determines whether an artist can match his or her first effort or even grow beyond it. D.C.-based artist Laura Tsaggaris (suh Gair iss) must've spent the four years between her 2005 debut Proof and her...
