Saturday 28th November - I should be happy, I'm at a Yards gig, I've got a drink in my hand, and I have a clear view of the band. I should be very happy, 2 sets from the Yards, the first is 30 minutes of their quieter, soulfull, mellow songs, and then nearly an hour of heavier rock songs, in total almost all of their catalogue. I know the tunes and most of the lyrics and I'm singing along. But, the crowd are talking (grrrr), Chris Helme is having problems with a hum on stage, and its the Yards last high - their last gig. I want it to be brilliant, and it mostly is, but its their last high, and everybody knows it. I will miss them.
Letters From Iwo Kima is the counterpoint to Flags Of Our Fathers. 'Letters' takes the Japanese perspective of the Second World War battle on the island, and is much better than 'Flags'. Its worth watching the first 45 minutes or so of Flags to set the scene for Letters. Catch it when you can.
