I’m Trying To See Those Lights…
I wish I was too frigging proud to cry! Then again, maybe not. Being “too proud to cry” sounds like the most dire emotional detachment to me…

Pointless Art Thing
Because… I literally don’t know what else to do.
Happy 40th Anniversary – Boy
I was pretty much a U2 fan from the get go. My brother, Quince, is only a few weeks younger than Bono…so U2’s debut release was as about as contemporary as it could get for him! I was half the age, only just coming up to my 10th birthday, but the album spoke volumes to…
Revising The Top 50 – Life In A Day – Album Tracks And B Sides
I’m reckoning that I work in chronological order. Choose absolute favourite tracks from each album then once they are all collated, streamline and narrow down using certain other criteria until only 50 remain. These start the long list. My “must haves” from Life In A Day.
Sycophancy Nancy Strikes Again!
She’s baaaaack! It’s been “Sycophancy Nancy”s turn to make “art” today. She finished off what Prip started last night.

Review: In Memory Of My Feelings – Catherine Anne Davies and Bernard Butler
It has been a little over 10 years since Catherine Anne Davies and Bernard Butler first decided to team up with each other and work on producing music together. They quickly felt they had the makings of an album together. Little by little things came together, building on their work together when time allowed. A…

Punk – A Dirty Word?
Over the past week, I feel the word “punk” has been sullied by a couple of people. One retrospectively. Let me explain: In a previous post here on the blog, I talked about a letter that John Foxx had shared on his FB page. The letter was from David Bowie to Tony Visconti of a…
