    Stumbled across a channel showing 1996's 'The Fan' last night.  Massively underrated film I reckon, one of the best examples of those thrillers the mid 90's did so well, there's absolutely no fat on it, Snipes is brilliant in a more dramatic role, and i'm no De Niro enthusiastic (as my general tastes no doubt reveal) but he's fucking terrifying in this and it says something about his performance and this song choice, that by the time it plays over the end credits, you almost feel sorry for the mad bastard.  If you're fragile like me, have a tissue ready.
     

     

    Great stuff, but who is this Terrence Trent D'Arby?

    I once saw a Queen tribute band inexplicably play "Mr Blue Sky". Whenever you get stuff like that, a tribute act playing another band's song, or being a tribute to two different bands, it always feels like it was a compromise to convince one of the musicians to join.

    I regret to inform you that Magic, the Queen covers band, are also Magic — A Kind of ELO

  3. Might be a bit rose-tinted as a memory, but I saw Magic, the Queen tribute band, in a Butlins showbar in about 1991, and they absolutely peeled the paint off the walls. I think they were made up of a bunch of old session musicians; when I saw them another time in Nottingham, they launched into "Beach Baby" by First Class, announcing that they were the band from that record (Tony Burrows wasn't in Magic, sadly).
