A Million Myles
July 13, 2009Last week’s five-part Torchwood extravaganza may well have been totally unexpectedly astonishingly good (even if they did kill off Ianto for no good reason, and the ending was so annoyingly poor it would have shamed the producers of Life On Mars), and may well have finished up threatening to dethrone the ratings-toppings ’supersoaps’, but perhaps the [...]

Five Things I Hate About [CITATION NEEDED]
March 10, 2009The rather fab Red Scharlach has recently been featuring one of those blog ‘meme’ things, based around responding to five things that someone automatically associated with you; hence in her case it was ‘drawing/art’, ‘gin’, ‘yummy bits of food’, ‘good-looking men’ and ‘your amazing ability to predict even the most insane of plot twists’.

This Is Easy (In 2004)
February 14, 2009A short while back, we took a look at the tracks that had disappeared down the back of a flourescent leopardskin print sofa between the original 1996 release of epochal vogue-surfing compilation This Is… Easy, and the rearranged 2004 version. Now, in response to popular demand (a whole one reader!), here’s an overview of the [...]

Is This Christmas Music? Part Ten – Spitting Image ‘The Christmas Singles’
December 18, 2008I Believe In Father Christmas is a remarkable collection of ambitious musical and lyrical ideas crammed into the length of an ordinary pop single, and as such is perfect evidence of why those prog rockers should have tried limiting themselves to three minutes or so more often. Lake’s emotive disdain for the autopilot conveyer belt [...]

Is This Christmas Music? Part Six – Leroy Anderson ‘Sleigh Ride’
December 14, 2008Band Aid II may have done their bit for famine relief in 1989, but there was one individual who had been doing his own low-key but no less admirable bit for charity for several years before that, and would continue to do so for several years afterwards.
