) Life on the Farm
The first couple of bands did more screaming than singing, and I was beginning to feel like the dirty old man in a room full of acne-faced, tattoo-clad, studded-belt-wearing teenagers.“It's cool," giggled Kayla Smith, 19, a fellow concertgoer. “It's good for the young kids, I guess.

The sweet-mannered geek with the acne-spotted Adonis looks; the basketball jock whose competitive dad moonlights as an Elvis impersonator; the upwardly mobile lonely heart downwardly spiralled by a boy's jilting text message. All human life? All high school life anyway. It is medium-mesmerising, even if we are gnawed by secret shame at watching a glorified reality TV show.Have you noticed that the Dutch and the Danes are stuck on second world war resistance films long after the rest of the world has moved on? It must be all that bicycling across flat country, the brain gets too low to the saddle of the space-time continuum. Flame and Citron is the story as several times before. Boy meets girl; girl meets ghoul (Nazi variety); girl informs on ghoul; boy meets ghoul and spills gore; gore gets more... More>>
