The Science Bit
UnaRocks does not UPLOAD music. All music links provided are ones that already exist online, or mp3s from band and record label websites. If you are in a band / band management and wish me to remove any of these links, I will, of course, oblige. UnaRocks believes that music sharing actively enriches our musical climate. Music sharing is as old as music itself. People who download music buy more records, go to more gigs, and buy more music merchandise than those who do not. The recent phenomonan of online music sharing has been credited to the ongoing resurgance in the live music scene across our world, and the increasing successes of 'indie' or 'underground' bands. In turn, if you are in a band / band management and wish me to post a link to a song for the pleasure of the readers of UnaRocks, please do not hesitate to contact me by commenting on this blog. Peace.

Me too.
Can't wait, hopefully it's half way as good as the book. The second best sports book ever written I would say
The book is superb, brilliant insight into the paranoid,obsessive world of Mr. Cough.
I haven't read the book, must check it out.
@ nooneshoutedstop: what's your best sports book ever written?
It looks pretty awesome. Clough was a diamond football movie waiting to happen.
The best in my opinion would be "Friday Night Lights", A sports book at the heart of it, but is as much about the boom and bust of a oil town in texas. Some of the money that people burned through in Odessa was unbeliveble. Also looks seriously at the racism in the area, especially when the star black player does his knee in can't really play anymore and one of the "Fans" of the team remarks he might as well be shot like a horse is now.
Is it just me or is Michael Sheen getting typecast into playing 'real' people. That Underworld sequel appears to be the only exception.
Also on sports books, I'd definitely rate Friday Night Lights up there, probably put Moneyball (following the fortunes of the Oakland A's and general manager Billy Beane over the course of a year) alongside it. Moneyball one of the most influential works (at least in terms of impact on a sport) of modern times, though FNL is a more gripping story.
