With the Music industry evolving beyond physical media, how do we sell music to people now? Remixes? Aren't they just 'Remasters'?

We’re going through a few monumental changes in the music industry right now. Physical media is more popular to buy as a vinyl or as even a cassette, purely for novelty’s sake. You’re now also less likely to own digital media. More often than not, you pay for a subscription service to listen to whatever music you want. And now, we are beginning to see the era of the remix. Are remixes just…

My new, and last poem for a while, Beyond The End of the Rainbow

This is it. My last poem for a while. I wanted to write this one, because I believe that dreams are just visions. I don’t see any meaning in them. Its your mind playing tricks on you, making you want more, when you have everyone you want and need. And frankly, at the end of the rainbow, its just reflected light. As for when I might get back into writing full time on here, I am not sure. I’ve had…

'Whatever happens, when I die, I won't be scared' My new short story 'I Will Follow You' is here.

Following my recent post about potentially quitting poetry, I have found myself writing longer stuff, such as short stories. These have been a lot of fun to write, and I want to share my first one with you. It concerns death, our relationship with life, and the impact we make on Earth. This is called ‘I Will Follow You’.

Am I quitting writing poetry, taking a long break, or just quitting writing?

If you know me, you know I like to write. I write stories, blog posts, and most prominently, poetry. After writing three books of poetry, two being anthologies, and one being a high concept story book, you’d think I’d be moving onto the next project by now. Instead, I’m not. What I’ve done For the uninitiated, since 2012, I have taken up writing poetry for fun, and as a hobby. I’ve had my stuff…

5 years on, we look at the albums of David Bowie, and consider what his best songs were, per album, and what made him an icon.

David Bowie is an icon. He’s been an icon for many years. And since his untimely death in 2016, he has been constantly re-appraised. In this special tracklist, I am selecting songs I consider some of David Bowie’s best. In some cases, they are the least worst. Some may be expected, others may be surprises, but they are all interesting. DAVID BOWIE ’67: PLEASE MR. GRAVEDIGGER Kicking things off…

Nostalgia is sort of like a drug. It can be addictive. In this post, I consider how nostalgia can hinder people, as well as help them.

What is nostalgia? I asked that question about 4 years ago now for a dissertation that I wrote for university. In that, I looked at the cult of nostalgia for East Germany. For some people, looking back to seemingly simpler times is a good thing. People either embrace or reject nostalgia. Some people like to look forward, and that is perfectly valid. To be fair, I am probably one of the former. I…

The Star Wars Sequel Trilogy was...mixed, to say the least. Join me as I reconstruct the movies, starting with The Force Awakens.

It is time we finally tackled the subject of Star Wars. One of the biggest and most divisive franchises in the world. Since Disney’s purchase of Lucasfilm in 2012, we have had: 5 films, 2 animated series, 1 animated mini-series, a streaming TV show, and much more to come. In 2015, we had our first of the sequel trilogy, and everyone loved it.

This Christmas, I set myself the challenge of…

Today, I spoke to school friend, and Salford Uni Trans* Officer Ben Hodge. 5 years since our last interview, he has made an award winning film about his transition from being female to male. This post will make you smile. #LGBTQ #Transgender

CONTENT WARNING: Part of this interview covers topics such as homophobia, transphobia, self harm, and suicide. Reader discretion is advised.

In 2015, students from my High School made a Facebook page. This page promoting pride, and the good cause of acceptance for LGBT+ folks. Our school was proud of things like anti-racism, and remembrance of the Holocaust, it never did much on LGBT+ issues.

In celebration of 30 years of The Divine Comedy, I look at 30years of studio albums. @divinecomedyhq I hope that Neil likes this, and I hope that you enjoy it too!

Three years ago, I released my original Tracklist on The Divine Comedy, and it covered the bands albums from 1993 to 2016, including their deleted 1990 debut, ‘Fanfare for the Comic Muse’. In 2020, The Divine Comedy has released a huge boxset ‘Venus, Cupid, Folly, and Time’ which basically includes everything the band has released, written, and recorded. This gave me the idea to cover the albums…

Beatles Forever: The Worst song ever made

When I originally made this post in 2017, I thought that it would be a fun, short little post between larger projects. But, having had my interest in the topic pique once again, I think it would be fair to give this song a reassessment.

Context

When I first wrote this post in 2017, I stated the following: ‘Music is subjective’. And I stand by that. Don’t feel ashamed because you like…

In today's Advancing Through Autism, I cover how autistic people cope with learning new things, and what struggles some people have.

How long does it take you to learn something new? Not necessarily master it to perfection, but learn the basics to be able to do something on your own? It is something that varies for different people, including myself. I write this post as I am in the middle of learning to drive. It has got me thinking about learning new things.

I was 22 when I decided that I was ready to learn to drive, and…

Music, Technology, Upscaling, and Making Music accessible. I talk to Stereo Masters about his work upscaling and remixing music and video.

Music plays a big part in this blog. From track by tracks to reconstructed posts, I do a lot of stuff pertaining to music. While I do not have a background in music production, I appreciate the medium. The extent of my knowledge is an A in GCSE Media Studies. So people who take it further always get my attention. Especially when they do it so well. I recently became involved in Reddit, which is an…

The Girl of Green Hamlet: From A Remarkable Journey

From a place far away, in a time before now, there was a tiny town. They called this town Green Hamlet. Shall I take you around? Beyond the castle gates, where the nomadic tribes lived, a luscious and fertile land sustained. The town of Green Hamlet, for that, was its name, would put many a Kingdom to shame. If you lived in those walls, you would gain fame. Where the cows grazed under azure…
