Russell Crowe
Has anyone else heard of this new album Russell Crowe has out; his "solo debut"? I was rather surprised to hear he recorded at all, but he has (had, actually) a band, too. This CD (actually, it's only on iTunes at the moment), My Heart, My Hand was co-written almost entirely with Great Big Sea's Alan Doyle (I love GBS). I think, on the whole, it's fairly good, but I've been listening incessantly to the 30-sec sample of the song 'Mr. Harris'. It's like an old Irish drinking song, and I think, if it ever comes out on real CD (I don't have the capability to burn CDs), I will the buy the album just for this song.

Russel Crowe is one of my favourite actors...though I hear he's a nightmare to work with, even as an extra.

Russell Crowe...ugh. *shakes head in shame*
Okay, he's a great actor, but that's about all.

Well, you know what they say: "There is no such thing as bad publicity."

Okay, so he wasn't a popular subject- thought I'd bring him up one more time to post this link: 30 sec clips from Crowe
I love this music. It probably has more to do with Alan Doyle than Russell Crowe.
