London premiere of 'Populaire' April 2013

As anyone who's recently seen 'Populaire' will attest, she's wonderful. :wub2:

Paikea Coraline Katharine Lisa Margo

Europe: 2

New video by Kurt Vile.

Another new one from The Virgins. Desperately boring video, but great song.

Latest offering from Omar Rodriguez-Lopez's Bosnian Rainbows. The album's going to be great.

This Confederations Cup has been a magnificent competition, I've already enjoyed it more than the last World Cup. Spain are now mixing their trademark measured possession game with bursts of direct brilliance, just like old times. Also, Italy's win over Japan was, quite simply, one of the most thrilling games I've ever seen. A real injustice that the Japanese came away from the group stages without a point.

Oh heck. Nothing derails a great topic quicker than the 'dating a famous pillock' effect.

How lovely, thanks guys for the updates!

Hello, good evening and welcome!

Populaire. What's the French for 'feelgood'?

^A stellar (sorry) signing!

They're really putting Ken in harm's way this season. Is it just me or did Pete's conversation with Bob towards the end of the episode make absolutely no sense?

Sad, sad news, 51 is way too young to go. A very underappreciated actor.

Anyone excited about this one? Much as I enjoyed the first movie, the whopping delay in producing the sequel has pretty effectively dampened my anticipation, and it must now have broken some kind of record for most announced release dates that have been pushed back. It's a great shame as I think Sin City could easily have been a franchise that tore up the box office in the late 00's and early 10's. At this rate, I fear this second movie will come out with a whimper rather than the roar it should have.

And finally, here's the re-worked single release of 'Bath Is Black' by Marika Hackman. I like it, but I still prefer the original, stripped back version...

Unexpected collaboration treat #1,458: David Lynch and Lykke Li.

Latest video from MØ. So looking forward to the album.

Sounding good so far. I nearly died when I saw Joel Schumacher's name briefly mentioned in association with 'Origins' though, what an unfortunate turn of events that would have been.

I'm assuming Ashley plans on installing a swear jar in the directors' box, as an aid to circumventing the financial fair play order. Now that the deal taking Andy Carroll to West Ham is essentially tied up, I expect Simon Mignolet's unwelcome but probably inevitable move to Liverpool to start gathering pace soon. Bog off, Brendan!
