Tom Gleeson - Good One
0 Comments. 494 Views. Posted 27 Apr 2012 @ 2:04pm.
Tom Gleeson’s been doing comedy for 15 years and it shows. Material-wise, of course. He manages to cover several pressing social issues without losing any flow. Gleeson is consistently funny and every bit as endearing as he is impassioned. He often opens with a blunt statement before elaborating with fervent opinions; particularly memorable was the rant on his disdain for the Monarch. Most drop-... Read More

Tanlines : All Of Me

  All Of Me sounds like it should be interesting. Avey Tare-esque vocals dance riotously over mischievous Chromatic-like synths which culminates into a chaotic frenzy of dejected sounds. But, for whatever reason, it falls short. It's not bland by any stretch of the imagination, but it's far from interesting. Does that make sense? No, probably not. Either way, expect to see this one in the... Read More

Lana Del Rey : Born To Die

  It’s always a concern when an artist’s image draws as much attention as their music. There’s no denying that New York songstress Lana Del Rey has been both perpetuator of and victim to such a fate. Del Rey’s ’50s inspired marriage of retro fashion and Hollywood glam has defined her as much as that sultry, husky voice. However, the greatest concern is that Del Rey’s major-label debut album...

The second (very excellent) single from Moonfire is a swinging indie pop hookfest with curious lyrics: "I remember sitting back on my balcony, I was listening to the Rolling Stones. See I was waiting for my dad to come home from work, so I could show all the chords that I'd learned. See I was under the impression I was gonna lead some kind of simple understated life, but now I'm living in the... Read More

Misfits

Misfits is a dark, sexy and badass English drama which is usually described as Skins meets Heroes. While that gives a pretty good idea of the premise, it doesn't do justice to the fact that Misfits has more than just crazy powers and big special effects, but characters that are both believable and relatable. The sci-fi elements are really well done and the effects... Read More

Panel of Judges : Moods on the Move

If Panel of Judges' last record, Bad Vibrations, was an honest appraisal of the emotional dynamic within the band during the band's conception and recording, the follow-up album, Moods on the Move suggests a quantum leap in both psychological assessment and musical exploration.   Certainly, the opening track, Bugles on the Moon is as warm and inviting as a chunky-knit jumper and cup of hot...
