On to another one of my favourite bands this week. From Idaho and Built to Spill, we travel to the other side of the United States to Charlottesville, Virginia; birthplace of… Dave Matthews Band In 1990, Dave Matthews was a bartender in Charlottesville when a friend of his convinced him to record some of the […]
Read more "Monday Music 2 – 2018"Here’s the link to my new Taste of Cinema article: http://www.tasteofcinema.com/2018/the-30-tensest-movie-scenes-of-all-time/ Don’t know where my editor found the images but they have little to do with the actual scenes mentioned in most cases. Before you go there, though, I’d like to take a second to acknowledge two scenes and three actors that I couldn’t mention in […]
Read more "The 30 tensest moments in cinema history"I wrote an article a while back about Cameron Cloutier at the Obnoxious and Anonymous Channel. He’s been trying to raise money through a crowdfunding project to make a Twin Peaks Fan Film. You can see all the details and donate at the link below. I’ve already written about it and there are links to […]
Read more "#SAVEANNIE"This is going to be the first of a series of posts I’m going to do, ranking my favourite episodes of my favourite TV shows, like I did with Star trek about 18 months ago. As it’s Christmas (or it was when I started this post), I decided to start with Angel. Angel ran for […]
Read more "Top 10 Angel episodes"Hello all, This is my first Monday Music of the new year and I’m carrying on with my plan to cover one of my favourite bands every week. I started with Canada’s Cowboy Junkies to close out last year. Now, I’ll make the not so distant journey to Idaho, USA, the birthplace of another of […]
Read more "Monday Music 1 – 2018"So, I’ve had the game a week now. I’ve dug around a bit and I’m really enjoying it so far. That’s not to say that I haven’t noticed a few things that are a little similar to old ground. On the whole, though, loading it up feels like putting on your favourite pair of comfortable […]
Read more "The Andromeda Experience – 2"Hi All, I’ve been exceptionally quiet over the past week or so due to Christmas happening. I’ve got a whole load of posts lined up that I want to do and my Taste of Cinema article that I haven’t even started yet, plus some things I want to do to THE book and an extra […]
Read more "The Andromeda Experience – 1"I’ve decided to go a different way with these posts for a few weeks. Instead of picking some music at random, I’m going to dedicate each week to one of my favourite bands or singers. I’ll post a couple of links to some of their songs, tell you a bit about where I first heard […]
Read more "Monday Music 31 – 2017"Caught this one on Sky last night and I have to say, me and Mrs A thoroughly enjoyed it. It was written by the same guys (Paul Wernick and Rhett Reese) who wrote Deadpool and Zombieland so I was expecting something well-paced and with little padding. It has a 15 certificate and is well-deserving of that, if not […]
Read more "Movie Review – Life (2017)"Just came across this news article from the London Evening Standard. It seems there is an object heading through our solar system that could just be a spaceship from outside our galaxy. It’s more likely to be a big, cigar shaped asteroid but hey, the possibility is there. It’s called Oumuamua (which means ‘scout’) and […]
Read more "Is there something coming?"Books, games, music, and life — filtered through the mind of a writer, drummer, and philosopher who thinks too deeply about all of it. If it moves something in your chest, I'm interested.
