I’m a sucker for a good zombie book, and while my zombie based reading is mostly in comic form (The Walking Dead), one book in particular stood out for me this year, being a completely different take on the standard zombie tale. This is a love story, told from the point of view of a [...]
2011 has been a strong year for both British and American TV, with some outstanding comedy, and some other, much darker stuff as well. I’ve written a bit about my particular highlights here. For me though, one show stood out above the rest for sheer enjoyment, and it was Trollied, on Sky1. The first sitcom [...]
Being as 2011 is drawing to a close, I figured I’d follow convention for once and start rounding up all my favourite things from the year. To start with, I thought I’d go with television, and give you a brief description of some of the things that I liked most on the tellybox this last [...]

They are supporting Morrisey at the Victoria Hall in Stoke in early July, and also the hugely popular Wakestock festival a few days later, before heading off to Vancouver to finish their debut album.

This week. For me, this week has been a very strange one. In all honesty, I’m not sure I’ve been living in the same world I did seven days ago. In some slightly odd circumstances, I made my way the few miles up the road from my house, to Nantwich, a Cheshire border town, where [...]
I’ve just arrived home, my throat is ragged, and my eyes are red. It’s been an emotional day. Some people have lost a friend, a mother has lost a son, and Wales has lost an icon. Stuart Cable, former drummer with the band Stereophonics, passed away today, at the far too young age of 40. [...]
