Trade?

There are so many people that once mattered that seem to flit in and out.





Sometimes they rise in importance

Sometimes they lower

Sometimes they stay the same.





But there has never really been anyone to disappear like you.
I was young, it was a long time ago. Memories are fuzzy and sepia-toned.




But where are you, Will?

Lindsay Lohan in 'Machete'

American McGee's 'Alice: Madness Returns'







I have been a fan of American McGee for ages, but have unfortunately never played more than a short demo of the original 'Alice' game. I must get hold of it, because this looks brilliant.

The 'twisted Alice' theme has gone through the ringer of recent due to the Tim Burton re-imagining (which was really disappointing, to be fair) and 
so hopefully this will be a truer representation of what Lewis Caroll was getting at. There are so many underlying themes, and it's difficult to not notice them if you go along the lines of the Disney (or Burton) incarnations.

American McGee have obviously had to go some way with an artistic license here, but by the looks of it they have captured the darkness of Wonderland perfectly.

I've always had a fascination with Alice. This is right up my street.




Nelly Furtado - Baja Otra Luz







This album is probably her most underrated, and that is probably why I have barely listened to it at all yet. But this video is so charming, and like 'Manos Al Aire' before it, totally captivates what a carefree spirit Furtado is.











As much as I did enjoy her stay at the top during the 'Loose' campaign, you can tell she is far more comfortable in this territory. That smile will always ensure I listen to whatever she does.
