How Sez Sees It

Nearly a year ago I had food poisoning and learned some lessons. Mum is always right! When Mum tells you not to eat seafood soup DO NOT EAT SEAFOOD SOUP! Take 2 or more pakets of 'anti-diarrhoea' tablets. You and your partner will both need them and six tablets will not be enough. Rich tea biscuits will become your friend. They keep your energy up and you can keep them down. Just leave the 'Do Not Disturb' sign on the door and stay asleep. Sip water. You're ill because you're purging. Water keeps you hydrated and helps flush it out. The whole thing is less painful when you have tennis to watch You will still feel queezy and be unable to eat full meals or certain things for about six months. When you remember the food poisoning your body's muscle memory and brain memory automatically makes you feel ill. So yeah, basically food poisoning is awful!

A few years ago I used to write reviews of my favourite films and albums. I don't know why I stopped because I really enjoyed it. I found an old memory stick the other day and this is a review I wrote back in 2008 about William Control's first album, Hate Culture: William Control – Hate Culture This is a concept album from the front man of Aiden.  The idea being that William Control is in London and is spending the last night on earth before he commits suicide.

Inside the cover contains so many thanks it takes a while to read them all and proves that this artist needs people and places in his life.  The pictures in the booklet set the scene that will carry on in the music, one of sex and violence.  All the phot

You hear about it all the time, someone says that a song/album/band changed or saved their life. Can it though? From personal experience I would say yes, although other factors come into play, such as the influence of my aunty. I believe I have written about her before. My aunty is 10 years older than me, so when I was 5/6 years old she was in her mid-teens. Her taste in music was Nirvana and it was her that introduced me to the band via their epic album ‘Nevermind’ by making a tape recording of it for me. Influenced by me ‘cool’ aunty, I began a life long love affair with all things rock. This was cemented in 1995 by my parents buying me a Smash Hits tape containing Green Day’s ‘Basket Case’. From then on the band soundtracked my life and I love them to this day. I feel I have ‘grown up’ with the band (which actually formed the year I was born!). That is the early influence where someone else changed, or rather set the course, of my musical love. From then on certain song
