Marcy SC8 Spotter Catcher

Marcy Burialground

Advantages: When in the right mood, a few of the tracks could be mildly entertaining.
Disadvantages: Depressing and monotonous.

Some of you may remember the MTV show 'Up For It' with Eddy Temple-Morris and Zane Lowe. As well as call-in sections and the usual comedy stunts, they showed live performances by bands that were supposedly about to break into the commercial scene. As far as I can remember, not many bands actually made it. Marcy Playground, along with Drugstore and Headswim, stayed firmly on the brink of mainstream. ‘Sex and Candy’ their first and only single released from this eponymous album is the definite standout track. Although quite beautiful compared to the other tracks, it is not really anything special. The song has a much softer feel to it than say ‘Saint Joe on the School Bus’ which, according to the sleeve, ‘is about being picked on’. However, I think it speaks for itself and wonder why that is ...

The Catcher In The Rye - the value of life

Advantages: youthful, insightful, lite'n'easy, fresh
Disadvantages: I would like to know more of what Holden could have to say!

J.D.Salinger - The Catcher In The Rye It's been ages I had wanted to lay my hands on this book, as everybody talked about it as of a cult piece and a phaenomena. I was bit surprised by how thin the little book was, but it gave me a good vibe in the bookstore, so I've got it. The main character The story is narrated by this teenager going under the name of Holden Caulfield, an ungraspable creature who doesn't like to subdue to the rules of schools his parents send him to, so he ends up being kicked and kicked yet again. He's not headless, but he was a way of his own for everything and that way doesn't correspond with the rules. He also changes his mind pretty often, even on kinda important matters, but he doesn't seem to be worried by the consequences of his deeds.

Review of The Catcher in the Rye - J. D. Salinger

No Flies on Me (or the Fly Catcher)

Advantages: Looks a bit mad
Disadvantages: Doesn't work

My nan and her friend Ruby went to Whitby for a day trip with her friends at the Salvation Army. Nan had a stroke last year but is making massive strides forward lately and she's getting out and about again, going out with friends on a few day trips and going back to her old favourite ... Bingo on Friday nights with the girls!! Nan loves to go into second hand shops when she goes on day trips and every time she comes back with a little gift for my brother and me. Sometimes these gifts are really nice, like books, puzzles or strange little ornaments, but more often than not, nan just loses the plot completely and brings back items which make us all wonder what on earth was going on in her head when she decided to buy it! Last Bank Holiday when she came back, she proudly gave my brother and me a plastic Fly Catcher! We thanked ...
