The Grandmaster of Asian Cinema.
COVID-19 is just the gift that keeps on giving, isn’t it? Not content with being a mass-murdering bastard and driving entire families apart, it’s also managed to wheedle its way into everyday life. You can’t nip to the shops anymore, can’t pop out for a quick pint, and the idea of sending your kids to […] More
There was a time when Guns N’ Roses were the most important Rock Band in the world. Before the bloated 13 minute songs. Before the riots and the Axl no shows. Before the self-indulgent double album release and the 16 years wait for their follow up. G N’ R stood astride the music universe like […] More
It may come as a surprise to some of you, but I’m not just about Rock and Metal. In fact, if you name a genre, there’s a pretty good chance I can talk about it for hours. Unless it’s Pop Music, I really hate that s*it. Jazz, soul, funk, blues, even classical music has a […] More
Lemmy Kilmister didn’t give a f*ck. He didn’t give a f*ck when they kicked him out of school at the age of 15 after he took offense to being caned, taking the offending instrument of torture off his headmaster and slapping him upside the head with it. He didn’t give a f*ck when years later […] More
After last week’s break from the norm, where I talked Birdeatsbaby with Mishkin Fitzgerald, we’re back to the usual format of me telling you what band you need in your life, and which are the five best songs to get you there. I’m also guessing that some of you took a look at the header […] More
Normally in The Music Spotlight, I’ll pick five songs that I think are the perfect entry-level for anyone interested in exploring whichever artist or band I’ve chosen to focus on that week and then give you links to the videos on YouTube, along with my opinion on what makes these tunes so special. It’s a […] More
I don’t trust anyone who doesn’t like Funk. I’m not talking about that godawful Bruno Mars rendition of the genre either; I’m talking about the stuff that leaves a ring around your bathtub, that puts a glide in your stride and a dip in your hip, I’m talking the soundtrack to the Mothership. Funk is […] More
Welcome one, welcome all to this week’s Music Spotlight. Every seven days, I take one of my favorite artists/bands and give you five songs/albums that I think can get you in at the entry-level. Last time out I took a look at Gil Scott Heron and this time around I’ll be casting my eye over […] More
When Bram Stoker’s Dracula first crawled from his coffin back in 1897, it’s safe to say that nobody could’ve ever predicted the global phenomenon it would become. In fact, it was such a commercial failure that Stoker and his wife were virtually penniless by the time he passed away in 1912. But when a little […] More
Welcome one, welcome all to the first-ever Weekly Music Spotlight. Each Tuesday I’ll be taking a band or artist that I love and taking a closer look at them. I’ll give you a brief history of the participants involved and then list five tracks or albums that I believe are the best jumping-off points for […] More
This may just be one of the most biased pieces you’ll ever read on 25YL, or any other site come to think of it, because I love the PlayStation in all its forms but the PS One has a special place in my heart because of how it changed the gaming world. In hindsight, it’s […] More
