Brassed Off [VHS]
$9.99
I've seen this movie twice now on satellite, and haven't tired of it. There's a lot to like. After a heavy dose of Transporter 1 through 25, Fast and Furious, various Star Treks, Star Wars, and gritty spy killing spy flicks, this is a wonderful little dose of reality - gee, I actually can sit through a thoughtful film without car chases, heroes without superpowers, and no one dangling from a helicopter getting shot at by a chain gun. Sounds un-American. That being said, this is a nicely acted, sensibly filmed story with a happy ending sandwiched in an unhappy circumstance. The actors even look like real people, even the lovely Tara Fitzgerald (every town has at least one beauty, right?) It gives the viewer a sense that amidst chaos, something lovely can still be born. The music is great. It makes me wonder why American brass bands can't do what brass bands do best - give you some real toe tapping tunes. The local university has a pretty good band, but what do we hear at half-time? We Will, We Will Rock You. C'mon! Surprise us! Turn our heads! The Grimethorpe Colliery Band is one of the best. They first came to my notice in a Disney film about pit ponys. It was another bittersweet tale about coal mining in the north of Britain when pony's pulled the carts and never saw the light of day, doing their jobs and trudging the tracks back to their subterranean mangers for a bit of sweet hay from a world they'd never see or taste again. Grimethorpe did the track for that one too, and it made me stay to the end of the credits to see who played that great music. A big thumbs up to the Brits for still creating films that make us think and feel without gut-churning special effects, and reminding us that you don't need an electric guitar to make great music, and the world is populated with people like you and I, people who pack trombones and trumpets, not machineguns and grenades.

Welcome To The Occupation
$18.98
News bullentin: Brad Postlethwaite, major figure in psych-pop group Snowglobe, has released an album straight out of left (wing) field. To the surprise of the legions, Welcome to the Occupation is a political pop record, and an unexpected move considering Postlethwaite's musical background and the lack of such statements in the indie world. If anyone had any doubts about Postlethwaite's beliefs, all they need is to glance at the album insert: "It is ... intended to be an attack on our society's self-absorbed and isolationist attitude as well as the corporations that nurture it." Postlethwaite must tread cautiously. The political record is a slippery creature by nature, and must be handled carefully. It's hard to avoid sounding preachy, and such music is often considered contradictory, in that serious political statements are attempted with something as disposable and temporary as a pop song. But generally, it comes down to the songs. In the melody category, this solo record is sometimes quite successful, but lacks the spark that makes Snowglobe a talented indie-pop band. Welcome to the Occupation is a fairly stripped down affair, like many solo records, and Postlethwaite uses extra sounds sparingly. As with Snowglobe's work, the array of echoy, distant noises, which sometimes make an appearance are a welcome addition. Postlethwaite can certainly spin a good tune, but many of the tracks on this record sputter at the starting line. "Greatest Highest" falls well short of its anthemic pretensions. Highlights such as "Empty Burning" redeem the record to some degree but fail to raise it to any heights. Welcome to the Occupation is a well produced affair, but it's difficult to ignore the disconnection between Postlethwaite's approach to songwriting and his politics. The release of Postlethwaite's record is, of course, timed to coincide with the war and occupation of Iraq. As the death, disease, and poverty continue to plague that Middle Eastern nation, Postlethwaite's
