Hello again. Been a while. I’d love to chalk up the gathering of dust upon this blog to me suffering some personal issues, or travelling the world, or becoming the target of a countrywide manhunt. But if the truth be told, I’ve just been juggling work and lazyitis. Saying that though, life can change ratherContinue reading “Entry #44 – A Selection of What I’ve Been Listening to Lately (a.k.a Insert obligatory GTA San Andreas meme here)”

Entry #43 – Liam Gallagher & John Squire (a.k.a Bugger it, I should’ve called this Shrug of the Shoulders of Giants!)
Liam Gallagher and John Squire, despite being two of the best musicians of the modern age, have been victims of their own monumental success.

It’s fine. It’s a fine album. Nothing groundbreaking, no new Parklife or anything like that. But then again it doesn’t really need to be.

And I’m glad we got them back justContinue reading “Entry #41 – The Ballad of Darren (a.k.a ‘Life’)”
Entry #40 – Pulp in Sheffield (a.k.a A cherry I never thought I would pop)
In November 2021 I went to my first ever gig: JARV IS, the latest solo project of Jarvis Cocker, with songs that were destined for the stage such as Must I Evolve?, Am I Missing Something?, and House Music All Night Long. Bonus points for the man himself coming down to shake the hands ofContinue reading “Entry #40 – Pulp in Sheffield (a.k.a A cherry I never thought I would pop)”
