[MUSIC: Album Review] Bearhug – Bill, Dance, Shiner
Bearhug Bill, Dance, Shiner Spunk **** The title of Bearhug’s debut reads like a morning-after’s disjointed recollection of the night before.

The Rum Diary Opens March 15 ** Based on the novel by Hunter S. Thompson. Starring Johnny Depp. Written and directed by Bruce Robinson (Withnail and I).
