DVD: Doctor Who - Series 1 - Complete Brian Grant
As the Doctor would say: "Fantastic!"

The Underated Black Sheep of The Divine Comedy Canon

CD: The Divine Comedy - Absent Friends (2004) The Divine Comedy, 2004
Here's to Absent Friends!
1 out of 3 people found this review helpful
With the 2004 release of Absent Friends, the Divine Comedy returned to its roots. Neil Hannon moves away from the indie rock vibe of Regeneration and back again are the ballads from imagined characters and a mo... read full review
