    keywest back in your armsKeywest are one of those bands who I’ve heard about, seen their stuff online but didn’t really know anything else. ‘Back In Your Arms’ is the first single to be taken from their debut album ‘The Message’, due for release later this year.

    The band have been working with Mark Needham (The Killers. Fleetwood Mac) so I was expecting a polished pop song. That’s what I got.

  • X-Men: First Class Trailer

    James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender star in X-Men: First Class which will be in theatres in June.

    Matthew Vaughn finally gets to direct an X-Men movie, he dropped out of directing ‘The Last Stand‘ in 2006, given the amazing job he did with Kick Ass.. I think we’re safe!

    George Michael The Point Depot Dublin 2006 nessymonI’ll keep it short, maybe I should start a George Michael blog? That might be a tad stalkerish though.

    Georgie Boy has said on twitter that he wouldn’t be doing the arena thing again. Fair enough. What he did say was his shows would be different. This news, though, made me go WOW!

    According to French website, ‘ChartsinFrance‘ the ‘about to be confirmed’ shows of October 3 and 4 in the Palais Omnisports de Paris Bercy, will have George accompanied by a symphony orchestra going through his repetoire.

    Two words: Wow, yummy!

    Here’s one of my favourite George Michael songs, from ‘Listen Without Prejudice Vol. 1’,

    This is ‘Something to Save’.
