"Me" Day

You can’t beat a summer blockbuster film and as we enter the season of music festivals, it’s undoubtedly time to stock up your CD racks with the newest tunes to help you boogie.

Whatever it may be, no-one gets you closer to the stuff you love this summer than HMV in St John’s Shopping Centre, Perth.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

Winner of three Oscar’s, this film is the skilful telling of the tale of a man born old, getting younger as time goes by.

Based on an F. Scott Fitzgerald short story, it’s Benjamin’s short but doomed personal relationships that capture the imagination. The ageing (and anti-ageing) effects are so effortless than you’ll barely notice them and merely accept that Brad Pitt is indeed getting younger and not older as you would expect.

This is a gem of a film that simply gets better and better.

Music for Men
In store: 22 June
A hugely anticipated follow-up to Gossip’s Standing In The Way Of Control, this has a funky garage-rock vibe, influenced by ‘80s Goth rock. Guaranteed dance floor filler.

Milk
In store: 8 June
This outstanding biopic recreates the life and times of the gay rights pioneer Harvey Milk. It’s a shocking reminder of how far we’ve come and how dangerous it is to take freedom for granted.

West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum
In store: 8 June
A musical journey through sky-scraping melodies, electro-punk riffs, Morricone-style symphonics, Mariachi stomps and psych-pop lullabies. Kasabian’s third album is it worth the wait.
