Welcome to the pond

Guess who saw Star Wars, Episode III today?? That's right, I finally saw it. My buddy Mike went with me, and we caught an early afternoon showing. It was the perfect time to go as hardly anyone was there to see it, at least when we went in. As for the movie, I'll just say it's excellent and very visually appealing. Many favorite characters are back, and loose ends are tied up. Questions are answered. It's definitely the best of the prequels because there's a lot more action instead of a lot of talking.

I also picked up the new Audioslave album, "Out Of Exile," which was released today. I listened to it yesterday on Winamp and was very impressed. It's a lot better than their self-titled debut. That was a good album, but this new one is stronger, rocks harder, and holds together better as an album. I'm glad the group has lived through the expectations of a sophomore release and improved as a band.

Finally, here's this week's Take Me Back Tuesday:

1. Name your three favourite British bands and a song from each of them.

The Beatles, "Hey Jude." The Rolling Stones "Sympathy For The Devil." Led Zeppelin "Kashmir."

2. Name your three favourite British front men.

Mick Jagger, Robert Plant, Elvis Costello (does he count? He's really more of a solo artist but plays with a band).

3. Name three bands from the original British Invasion in the late 50's early 60's.

The Beatles, The Animals, Herman and the Hermits.
