It's NTSC (not PAL) and Region 0, so I had no problems playing it here. It's got 17 videos on it - missing Stone Cold Sober, Start With Me, Medicine, and the UK version of Kiss This Thing Goodbye. There's also a "Gold Nuggets" feature that's kind of like Pop-Up Video with trivia bits that were selected by Justin & Iain - some of which are pretty funny. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 4 Oct 2007 14:57:10 -0400 From: CVG Subject: Re: OV: I was kinda expecting this....

Well said, everyone. As an artist who writes a (now occasional) music column, I've at times heard critical jabs from friends over my deliberate stance against writing negative articles/reviews like this one from Ms. Gilligan; they insist that a true critic needs to reveal his or her views both positive and negative so that their readers have some kind of barometer on the critic's overall taste and judgment. To me, the world is already overflowing with all kinds of negativity, and if Ms. Gilligan disliked Justin's CD that much, surely she could have found something more worthy of writing about this week. This is not to excuse Justin (or any other artist) for recording and releasing shoddy songs, but I think we already know that his B-sides display more lyrical, melodic, sonically satisfying soulfulness than the majority of artists "making music" today. In the end, as some of you mentioned, it all comes down to taste, and those of us who favor Mr. Currie's brand of singing and songwriting are among the fortunate, if the humble few. If I ever did write about the sadly escalating number of releases I've heard (from indies and major labels alike) whose purveyors should be ashamed to lay claim to them... well, let's leave it at this: I'd never waste that much time and energy (mine or my readers). I'd much rather spend my time sharing a few impassioned words about the encouraging handful of artists and songs I believe you need to hear, but that distinction reveals why I'm a music writer, not a critic.
