Sorry for missing Friday's random 10 - I've been playing that game on facebook lately, which has advantages, being more interactive... it's purposes here are to force me to post something - to give me a framework for fairly arbitrary links posts - and to say something about music.

Another Friday - and to try to keep a hand in, here's another random ten, plus a couple links.... Wildgrounds lists his ten favorite scenes in Japanese cinema.... Via Pullquote , reminder that the Stuart Street Playhouse is a movie theater again . And Glenn Kenny and David Cairns both plug a ...
