Entry #50 – Standing on the Shoulder of Giants – Revisited, re-evaluated, and rebuilt (a.k.a Coming full circle)
Well, well. Exactly five years since the first real entry, I’m back where it all began – reviewing Standing on the Shoulder of Giants. The black sheep of Oasis albums, the one that is as marmite as they come, and the one that I actually have tried to re-review twice since the initial entry.

Entry #49 – What I’ve Been Listening To Lately: June and July 2025 (a.k.a The Dimery Files, part one)

Entry #41 – The Ballad of Darren (a.k.a ‘Life’)
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. Blur had already accomplished what they set out to do decades ago. Anything we get these days we should consider ourselves lucky for. And I’m glad we got them back justContinue reading “Entry #41 – The Ballad of Darren (a.k.a ‘Life’)”
