The world is in bad shape. We’ve reached peak oil and are approaching peak water. We’ve fished the oceans to death anddecimated the planets lungs. Overpopulation is an ongoing problem and reality TV continues to ruin countless lives. Tell that to the Bates family who have triumphantly managed to squeeze off no less than 18 children.

Zombies are everywhere. They’re in your movies, in your video games, in your Jane Austen, in your head (in your head) – and then some brilliant young mind decided that we needed a zombie-based television series. Wonderful – way to keep those fresh ideas coming. Except The Walking Dead might be the franchise to put this whole ‘undead’ craze to rest for a while.

‘So, you’re in love with one of your friends, but she has a boyfriend and probably wouldn’t have sex with you anyway’ is pretty descriptive, as titles go. You probably don’t need much more to go by than that. It’s funny and you should watch it. The fireman here knows what I’m talking about.

Lets just deal with the name first. Mumford & Sons. Not ideal, if you’re trying to be cool that is. There are bands out there with names like Jane’s Addiction, Primal Scream and, of course, The Rolling Stones. Just plain cool. In fact, if there’s one thing the Stones had over the Beatles, it was their name. The Beetles would have been better, but they had to get playful and incorporate the word “beat” into their name. Naughty guys, very naughty. You were young and you thought you were being clever, but no one loves a pun. I guess you made up for it though.

But then I started hearing that they were getting a reputation for incredible live shows with a kind of party atmosphere where everybody just lets loose.
