  • Looking back at: Zwan – Mary Star of the Sea

    I remember it as it was yesterday. I was living in Beeston, in Uni accomodation. It was exam season in the University of Nottingham and while reading papers and making notes for a Soil Chemistry final, a very familiar voice on the radio sung a happy song.

  • Good Vibrations charity gig

    Last Saturday was the Good Vibrations fundraiser for Macmillan and Myeloma UK, two good charities that might require your attention. It was an eventful evening. “Who died and made you king quiff?” said my co-editor and friend for the evening, Orestes Xistos, after seeing my get up. I reconsidered and scrapped my Setzer-approved quiff for…

  • Cuento Corto : No te vayas sin darme un beso Supermán

    ¡¡ JOOOOO… JO, JO, JO, JO, Jo, jo, jo, jo!! ¡¡Nunca me había divertido tanto!! (Se sujetaba su enorme barriga de terciopelo rojo) ¡¡Ju-gue-tes-es-pon-gy!! “Es-fá-cil-de-ju-gar-den-tro-y-fuera-del-hogar, pa-ra-chi-cos-y-grandes” (De barba blanca se limpiaba las lágrimas causadas por la risa.

  • Blog: See You Later, Graduator

    The only way I can describe what it feels like to be graduating in five months time is this; staring off the edge of a cliff. You see the sun rise and fall. You can hear the ocean. Sometimes you hear people playing on the beach below. The sun is the opportunities, the failings, the…

  • Dead Sons – The Holler and The Hymns

    When is a scary film a good scary film? If you look at the state of the industry right now, it seems that studios forgo the magic condiments of “subtlety” and “atmosphere” and go for the cheap jump scares. I don’t mind jump scares, but don’t call a film made up of jump scares a…

  • Daniel Pearson – Mercury State

    Melancholy is the name of the game in Mercury State, the sophomore album by Daniel Pearson. While he never was one for the cheerier side of life, this rock & roll album certainly feels as stark as its front cover.

  • Top EPs/Minialbums of 2012

    “Hey ho, away we go” said Neil Young when he graced the lives of Pearl Jam in 1995’s ‘Song X’. Hi, I’m the deputy editor Orestes P. Xistos and this is my late “best of.” It’s not late because you need it to be late, it’s late because you deserve it to be late. Or…
