  • Simon Fagan: Damn Honey Review

    Simon Fagan

    I wrote this for MusicReviewUnsigned.

    Think of a singer songwriter, you picture a guy with a guitar, right? He’s sitting strumming a hippy type song?

    Simon Fagan blows these thoughts out of the water, ‘Damn Honey’ is a big song with big production and demands radio play. The intro builds up nicely to a chorus that will rattles in your head for hours. It’s a mid tempo singalong track that bigger acts would kill to play on a big stage

    Simon’s paid his dues in various bands and it shows. His sound is mature well thought out and memorable. Damn Honey is released on March 5th and is taken from Simon’s debut album due out in May. Looking forward to it.

  • Movie Quest 2010

    I really love having the flu.. i’m being sarcastic.. good you knew that. The upside is getting to watch more movies 🙂

    What have I seen? Invictus, The Hurt Locker, both Transformers movies, Paranormal Activity. Where I’m going to start is with..

    Cirque Du Freak: The Vampire’s Assistant

    I loved this! Director Paul Weitz tells the story of Darren and his mate Steve who go to a ‘Cirque Du Freak’, a good old traveling freak show. Darren steals a spider from the show, it bites Steve who falls into a coma. To get an antidote for his friend, Darren must leave his life and join the Cirque du Freak.

    It’s a good versus evil story, Vampires never kill .. that’s the Vamponese, and its probably aimed at kids slightly younger age than the Twilight Saga, maybe 10-12.  Cirque Du Freak: The Vampire’s Assistant was never boring, great events and costumes. Seeing as it was based on a series of books, there could be more.
