[The megazine]

Comic: The megazine

GN: American Vampire Vol 1 - really good stuff with some wonderful art from Rafael Alburquerque

Book: Must confess I haven't read a 'proper book' for about 2 years now, but I have dipped in and out of short story collections by Lovecraft and Bukowski recently.

TV Show: Fringe - really enjoying this show at the moment, after beginning like a 'yeah, it's good, but it's just the x-files', it's now truly carved out a niche for itself. John Noble steals the show hands down. And Anna Torv is hot.

Movie: Cypher, the film that Vincenzo Natali made in between Cube and Splice. Not quite as memorable as the former but far superior to the latter. Cool premise, nicely acted and well made, with Lucy Liu as the possibly duplicitous femme fatale Ada Wong I mean Rita Foster. Recommended.

Game: Well my xbox wheezed its last sometime last year and since then I've been reduced to playing bubble shooter online. But before it died I was hammering Gears of War 2, which is definietly up there in my top 5 games of all time (along with Resi 2, Rogue Leader, Left for Dead and Halo 2)

Album: Hardcore Will Never Die But You Will,  by Mogwai. Saw em on saturday night as well, for the first time in about 7-8 years. Have to say I was thoroughly underwhelmed with both, and I used to be a huge fan. Ah well.

Great idea Gavin, I'll bung a couple of things your way later in the week.

Jesus christ that Slaine's a bit good.

Markchilly that's unnervingly superb. And Davey - you're invoking some serious Dom Reardon there, nice one.

Bloody criminal.

Mygrimmbrother I do believe you are the nicest fellow I've met on the web... Thank you very much indeed!

Don't you believe it - I'm actually an asshole, I'm just your biggest fan as well

Neil, are you working on anything that's going to be published?

At a wedding reception last weekend:

Pissed woman: Pint of fosters and a glass of white wine please.

Barmaid: small, medium or large?

Pissed woman: What's cheapest?

Barmaid: (masking smile) Small.

I am going to see mogwai on saturday night - first time Ive seen them in about 6 years.

Neil you fucking rock. Apart from the fact that your stuff looks gorgeous, every picture seems to ooze real characterisation too.

Might join in at some point if that's ok Chris.

I'd like to be towed above a city in a lifesize replica x-wing, then have the cable detached and plummet to my firey death as crowds of people look on in disbelief.

But it'll probably be a heart attack.

Cheers Keef!

Burning, the Mogwai live film. Stunning. In fact, I immediately whipped out the plastic and bought a couple of tickets to see them in Manchester this saturday.

Who's directing now? Is it still Aronofsky or does he have his hands full with The Wolverine?

Love 'em Lee, keep 'em coming.
