Move over, Ms L!

Hi all, wondering why you are looking at this jumbled up page? This is due to the fact that Facebook didn't like our url since it starts with wog, so we have been forced to move the blog. This was some time ago, and we have placed a script which would automatically send you to our new location. Obviously, this hasn't worked for all of you, since we have just finished moderating some of your comments which appeared on this site recently, and not on our new (and improved!) site. So what we're saying is head on over to our new site, and update your bookmarks!

Nowhere Boy - Soundtrack album

Nowhere Boy, the new biopic about the formative years of John Lennon has not been universally praised. Originally based on Julia Baird's book about her half brother "Imagine This - Growing up with my brother John Lennon", the film diverges from the book towards the end, betraying Julia's scorching portrait of (Aunt) Mimi and replacing it with a rose-tinted view of her. This eventually lead Baird to distance herself from the movie. Native Liverpudlians of the right age has also criticized the way the city is portrayed in the film. But anyway, here's the soundtrack album, due out December 14th.
