Ben Whishaw_♫Beyoncé♫
Proclaimed by many critics as one of the best young actors of his generation, Ben Whishaw was born in Clifton, Bedfordshire, where he grew up along with his twin brother James. Ben attended Samuel Whitbread Community College where his interest in theatre grew and he became a member of the Bancroft Players Youth Theatre at Hitchin's Queen Mother Theatre. During his time there he rose to prominence in many productions, most notably If This Is a Man, based on the book of the same name by Primo Levi, a survivor of Nazi World War II prisoner of war camp. The play was taken to the Edinburgh Festival in 1995 where it garnered five-star reviews and great critical acclaim with Ben Whishaw getting rave reviews for his portrayal of Levi. Ben then enrolled in, RADA from where he graduated in 2004 and soon landed the role of Hamlet in Trevor Nunn's 2004 production making him one of the youngest actors to portray Hamlet on-stage. Hamlet opened to rave reviews with many critics hailing Ben as the next Laurence Olivier and applauding his portrayal of Hamlet with leading critics haling the birth of a star. Whishaw's film and TV credits include Layer cake - crimen organizado (2004) and Christopher Morris' 2005 sitcom Nathan Barley (2005), in which he played a character called Pingu. He was named Most Promising Newcomer at the 2001 British Independent Film Awards (for My Brother Tom (2001)) and, in 2005, nominated as best actor in four award ceremonies for his Hamlet. He also played Keith Richards in the Stephen Woolley biopic Stoned (2005). Whishaw played in El perfume, historia de un asesino (2006) as Jean-Baptiste Grenouille, a perfume maker whose craft turns deadly getting raves once again for his stunning portrayal. Whishaw appeared in 2007's _I'm Not There (9999)_ as one of the Bob Dylan reincarnations and in 2008 in Criminal Justice (2008) a TV series. He appears in the forthcoming films The Tempest (2010/II) and Bright Star (2009).

2. We Will Rock You (Fast) (Queen-Live In Liverpool: 12/6/1979)
All right you crazy and wonderful subscribers! Here is an upload that I’m 100% sure will get tons of comments, discussions, and debates! Recently, a generous collector posted samples of an unknown 1979 show onto Queenzone (in a joke thread of all places) and after going through some detective work - the show was identified as being the first Liverpool show from the Crazy Tour. Soon after, a superior source of the show emerged and it was as if Christmas came early! Thank you to everybody involved concerning this show!
This recording is mostly complete (has some cuts during a few songs and “We Are The Champions” is missing) with reasonably good audio quality. This recording has John Deacon’s bass very high in the mix - so if you are a fan of Deaky, this show will make you happy! The band sound great overall on this show (Roger in particular is very gutsy) and when combined with the intimate crowd atmosphere, you’ll get an excellent show! Freddie is also in excellent shape overall. He sounds pretty much the same as the Newcastle shows (give or take a few notes) and sings with authority throughout the recording. Let’s see how this show compares with the other Crazy Tour shows…
The fast “We Will Rock You” is an amusing listen (despite being cut) as Freddie doesn’t sing parts of the first verse (possible mic problems) and keeps the vocals fairly low-key considering the tour. John’s bass work is highlighted on this performance and he sounds awesome! “Let Me Entertain You” is a great performance overall with Freddie singing the first verse and chorus extremely close to the album version! John fudges the bass line going into the second verse, but otherwise does a great job! “Somebody To Love” is an excellent performance overall with Freddie singing the introduction and the vocal solo in a style similar to the NOTW Tour performances, nailing the bridge with authority, and belting powerful highs throughout! He sounds slightly rougher in a few spots compared with the Newcastle performances of the same song - but it doesn’t take away from the excellent performance! “Mustapha” is a fantastic performance overall with the entire band sounding on-point, “Death On Two Legs” sounds great overall with John’s bass playing being a highlight on this version, “Killer Queen” sounds awesome on this show with the bass sounding beautiful and Freddie giving a great vocal performance overall, “I’m In Love With My Car” is your typical solid rendition as always from Roger, “Get Down Make Love” is a great performance overall with Freddie having fun in the improv section, “You’re My Best Friend” is a punchy and great performance with Freddie delivering one of his best vocal renditions of the song, “Save Me” sounds excellent overall with the vocals being nearly spot-on and Brian doing a nice early take on the guitar solo, and “Now I’m Here” from this show is possibly the best live version (at least vocally) as Freddie gives his absolute all on the vocals.
“Don’t Stop Me Now” sounds great overall with Freddie singing bits of the intro and having a good time (no pun intended) during the improv section, “Spread Your Wings” is slightly more reserved compared with the Newcastle versions - but the high notes that Freddie does sing on this version are clean as a whistle (the B4 during the instrumental outroduction is studio-quality), “Love Of My Life” is one of the greatest versions ever as the crowd atmosphere is first class and Freddie sings the song pristinely, “’39” is just as good as the Newcastle performances, “Fat Bottomed Girls” is a fun performance overall, but Brian’s guitar is noticeably out-of-tune, and “Keep Yourself Alive” highlights the rhythm section very well with Freddie singing a great rendition overall! “Crazy Little Thing Called Love” from this show is one of the all-time best versions as the atmosphere is electrifying (to the point where the Royal Family crowd members sing the chorus before the song begins - causing the band to false start) and the band being in the pocket on the performance. Freddie also sings the song fantastically. “Bohemian Rhapsody” is fairly similar to the second Newcastle performance with Freddie powerfully singing the first verse (although he doesn’t go for the “carry on” belt), singing the second verse like the previous gig’s performance, and going for the C5 in the rock section (although he doesn’t quite reach the high note - he tries). Roger also has an amusing moment when he drums in between the first and second verses (oops)! “Tie Your Mother Down” is a fantastic all-around performance with Freddie nailing the vocals (although he slightly flubs the lyrics in the first verse) and the band sounding excellent, “Sheer Heart Attack” sounds awesome overall, and what we have of “We Will Rock You” showcases excellence!
ENJOY!!!

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: UK: MAMA MIA

London, 6 April 1999
ABBA FANS SAY 'THANK YOU FOR THE MUSICAL'
Crowds spilled out onto the street to catch a glimpse of stars as they
arrived for the world premiere of the ABBA musical `Mama Mia!' in London last night.
Pop band STEPS - often likened to the Swedish supergroup - were among the celebrities who gathered for the show, exactly 25 years to the day since Abba won the Eurovision Song Contest.
Songwriters BENNY ANDERSSON and BJORN ULVAEUS were also at the Prince Edward Theatre in Soho to celebrate the opening.
The musical features 27 of their big best known songs with a plot which is weaved around the hits. The story focuses on Donna, a feisty forty-something single mum whose cosy life running a Greek taverna is turned upside down when her daughter Sophie invites three of her mother's ex-boyfriends to her wedding, in the hope of finding out which one is her father. SIOBHAN MCCARTHY stars as Donna and newcomers LISA STOKKE and ANDREW LANGTREE play the roles of Sophie and her fiance, Sky. The cast also includes LOUISE PLOWRIGHT as Donna's friend Tanya, who adds a hint of Absolutely Fabulous to proceedings.
Of the revival Ulvaeus says: 'This idea has been talked about for several years but it was only when I was with my wife and kids at the West End production of 'Grease' that It struck me we could do it.' He added; 'those lyrics of ours were always about relationships and they were little stories within themselves.'
As the cast took their bows, Andersson and Ulvaeus took the stage to the sound of their hit Dancing Queen. Dressed in black dinner suits, the pair looked delighted at the response of the audience, who were on their feet singing and clapping.
Girl group CLEOPATRA, who turned up for the after show party, were also impressed. The teenage trio are one of the acts on a Thank Abba For The Music single currently at number four on the UK charts. Steps also gave the show a universal thumbs-up.

Jesus of Islam is the Dome of the Rock! pt 2
I discovered that the Jesus of Islam (Isa) is actually the Dome of the Rock. According to Islamic prophecies, the Islamic Jesus (Isa) will decend from heaven and pray behind the Islamic Mahdi, which will rule an empire for 7 years and die. Then Isa will kill the Dajjal.
But for some reason, all the descriptions of the Islamic Isa points to the dome of the rock, which is built on top of the Jewish temple mount.
* Isa (Jesus) will be white with red complextion. Dome of Rock has white walls.
* Isa will wear an armour. Dome of rock does have gray color on walls.
* Isa will have long golden hair that reaches his shoulder. The hair looks shiny like it is still wet, but Isa did not wash his hair at all. The dome is shiny gold.
* If Isa bends his head, it looks like pearls will fall off of his head. The Dome of Rock has a pointy thing on top of the dome, and that pointy thing has 3 or 4 balls on it. So imagine, if the dome can bend like a person's head, those balls would fall to the ground.
* Isa will come with has hands leaning on the shoulders of 2 angels. Well, The Dome of Rock sits on the Jewish Temple mount and is a possession of the Muslims. Religions are represented by angels in the bible.
* Isa will wear 2 light yellow garments. Usually, only high priests wear light yellow garments. Normal people do not wear light yellow robes. If Isa wears 2 light yellow garments, this means there will be 2 high priests. The Dome of Rock sits on the Jewish Temple mount and is a possession of the Muslims.
* Isa will decend when the Mahdi rules for 7 years. Isa will be found sleeping at a Christian community. He is found sleeping there because he's not a real person. he's only a building.
* Isa will decend at the site of the Mosque of Jerusalem or at Domescus, depending on what Hadith you believe in.

ORIGIN HOUSING GROUP hijacks nomination rights to Farrier Street Site
The news item featured by the Camden New Journal on 4th April 2013 at:
This video upload to YouTube is a 30 minute outline of the history of the Cypriot Village Project, originally built by the St. Pancras Housing Association as development agents for the Cypriot Elders Housing Project originating in the mid to late 1980's with the full approval and backing at that time by Camden Council.
This video is being made publicly available as a reply to the complete take-over of nomination rights by the Origin Housing Group, and the denial of nomination rights to the community group (Theatro Technis) which had originated the development.
This is the first step in a public campaign which intends to shame the Origin Housing Group over its intended complete take-over of the original project.
