A Few Words on... Grant Nicholas - Yorktown Heights

Another week, another well established frontman goes solo with an stripped back, acoustic folk debut, this time being Feeder's Grant Nicholas, with an album that I was half tempted to copypasta my review of Charlie Simpson's album and see if anyone noticed.

A Few Words on... Charlie Simpson - Long Road Home

Guilty pleasures. A pesky subject I briefly covered in my Linkin Park review from a couple years ago. Yes, the point still stands that guilty pleasures are redundant as music is a subjective form of art and entertainment, but the looks I get when I tell people that I like Fightstar can easily fit this category.

Retcon Nation's Top Ten Games of E3 2014

E3 2014 showcase was, in short, vastly improved from recent years showings. Sure, EA’s outing was disappointing with nothing more than sports rehashes and microscopic showings of the next Mass Effect and Star Wars Battlegrounds games.

Sure; Nintendo didn’t really have a presentation and yeah, after being burned by the Watch-Dogs fiasco, gamers are bit more cautious regarding pre-release visuals and scripted sequences.

But E3 2014 was excellent. It was far, far more difficult to pick just ten this year and Nintendo finally makes an entry on the list after last year’s absence (and no, I just don’t care enough about Super Smash Bros., sue me).

Morrissey - World Peace Is None of Your Business Review

The past two years have not been kind to Morrissey. Cancelled tours due to illness, plagued by seemingly never ending battles of illness, band mates and former colleagues arguing over who spread what illness on tour.

The man is, dare I say, Still Ill leading up to what should have been a triumph return preceding his first new album in five years.

A Few Words on... Kasabian - 48:13

Credit where it's due; every cloud has a silver lining. Back in 2011, I finished writing a ridiculously long review of Velociraptor! which covered every track, took ages to write, longer to read and was as much a chore to get through as the record.

A Few Words on... Jack White - Lazaretto

Jack White's debut album Blunderbuss was on my radar back in 2012 as one of the albums I would have liked to have reviewed. 

Worst to Best Morrissey Albums (...Including Bona Drag)

Despite eating meat, my hatred for PETA, my generally cheery demeanour; I am a massive fan of The Smiths and a massive fan of Morrissey's solo career.
