I'm mixing things up. Usually I use this little corner of the internet to (occasionally) write about albums that I love. But as we're coming to the end of the year, I started to think about the amazing music shows that have kept me going through the year. When I couldn't go clubbing, I needed... Continue Reading →
It’s taken me a while to write this piece. Not because I’ve had too much on, as usually stops me with these things, but because I wanted to take my time. I wanted to know what I really thought in my own mind about this album before I put words to page, and certainly before... Continue Reading →
Like many other gay teenagers in the nineties, I had the hugest crush on American sit-com star Joey Lawrence. He played the witless older brother of Blossom, in the TV show of the same name. His name in the pilot was Donnie Russo, which was changed in the episodes that followed to give him his... Continue Reading →

As far as hashtags go, there have been few more unfortunately named than #JusticeForGlitter. Only Susan Boyle's album launch hashtag #susanalbumparty could compete. This was a campaign put together by Lambs (the collective name for Carey's fans) to make her soundtrack album Glitter the hit album they felt it should have been on its first... Continue Reading →
There’s nothing more satisfying than discovering a new artist in the bargain bin of a record store. That’s what I thought I had done when I found the Me and a Gun EP on CD single for twenty five pence in WH Smiths. It was made up of four perfect tracks, including the title track...

There's only one thing a music critic loves more than a great new album to rave about; a really bad one to tear apart. I've done my fair share of album reviews in the past, but I'm a lover, not a hater. I take after my mother in that way. If there's nothing good to... Continue Reading →
