NEW ON THE AUDIO GENERALIST
Interview with filmmaker Grant Gee about 'Joy Division: The Movie' which is due to go on general release in May.
Grant's work is consistently interesting and innovative and includes a number of experimental works, a huge back catalogue of pop videos and the standout Radiohead documentary 'Meeting People Is Easy'. He was also Director of Photography on 'Scott Walker: 30 Century Man'.

It is a year since the Harveys was restored to our local pub the Lewes Arms which meant that Saturday April 26th was a day of much mayhem and madness, including a beer race and torchlit march. See the latest photos on my Lewes Arms blog, which provides a detailed account of a campaign that is probably the biggest pub protest in British history. There is now a full-page on Wikipedia documenting the dispute. Thanks to whoever put it up there.
