Bullets
• I went to Junior Reid last night - wicked show, splendid voice, but the number of punters I talked to complaining about the ridiculously late start-time was high - word was he was coming on at 12, and he hit the stage closer to 1am. Wake up, promoters, that's just shabby. I was talking with a mate who told me about going to see some hiphop MCs in New York, and they heard the show started at 9pm so they rolled up at 10, and discovered to their dismay that they'd missed one of their heroes.

• What does Bill Murray say at the end of Lost In Translation? Or don't you want to know? (Link) Best use of a Jesus and Mary Chain song in a movie ever.

•Heard Santogold yet? Listen over here - the chorus for her tune Shov It is one of the funniest things I've heard all year. (Photo credit: Fader via BV)

•Kristen Schaal (Mel from Flight of Choncords) gives her top ten of the year (link BV)

I'm pretty damn sure Bill Murray says something about xenophobic americans at the end of Lost In Translation - what a crap film! For all that it shows of Japanese culture it could have been set on Mars...
You would hope that director would have had a bit more up her sleeve than a colonialist attitude & a bunch of cheap jokes, but nope... shame on her!
