Here’s a very early piece of what might be called Juvenilia: a distinctly vicious review of the eighth series of Red Dwarf published in TV Zone magazine issue 122 in 1999. It’s clear than I didn’t think much of the show after Rob Grant’s departure, and I’m afraid to say I’m a little bit savage to it, in that regard. Still very proud of the “Curate’s Smeg” slugline, though…
Here’s a previously unpublished entry for 1001 TV Series You Must Watch Before You Die for the series Wolfblood. Originally it was one of the publisher’s choices to be covered and I gladly leapt at the chance as I thought the show was great. They then changed their mind about including too many “kids’ TV shows” and dropped it after I’d written it. (Thankfully I got paid anyway, so I still win.)
Another in what may become an occasional series of reviews the world didn’t need or ask for, in the style of what I used to do for We Are Cult. This time it’s the brilliant ‘Such Trying Times’ by Belvedere Kane, an album released thirty years later than intended but no less welcome for it!
Review of the reissue of Voice of the Beehive’s second album ‘Honey Lingers’. I never got to write it for We Are Cult but I found my old notes, and decided to knock them back into the article I would have written given the chance.
A review I wrote for We Are Cult regarding the third (THIRD!) reissue of Donna Summer’s Stock/Aitken/Waterman-produced album “Another Place and Time”.
The thing I’m most proud of is that within seconds of being published an account on twitter described it as “woke, bent, nonsense”. Which I happily take as a compliment, frankly.
Sunny Californian pop meets UK cynicism in a brilliant formative album, in a review what I writ for We Are Cult.
