HOT 24

Here’s the brand new trailer for the Power Rangers movie, which is in cinemas in March. It’s the 1990s. I’m a child again. Perhaps all of these movie reboots will induce some sort of reverse ageing effect. I can but hope. Power Rangers stars Breaking Bad’s Bryan Cranston as the voice of Zordon and Pitch Perfect royalty Elizabeth Banks as super villain Rita Repulsa alongside Dacre Montgomery,…

Let It Shine: Dannii Minogue Clashes With ‘Mood-Killer’ Gary Barlow

Dannii Minogue, who returns to UK TV screens this weekend as a judge on Let It Shine, has said what we’ve all been thinking for years and called Gary Barlow a “mood-killer’.

Row Erupts Over Mariah’s NYE Performance

A row has erupted following Mariah Carey’s now infamous New Year’s Rockin’ Eve performance.

Perfect for #TBT... NEW PLAYLIST: C90 - School Bus Mixtape

This is the first in a series inspired by the mixtapes I produced as a teenager and named after the cassettes they were recorded onto, the humble C90. The School Bus Mixtape is a collection of songs which I recall helping me endure the hell that was the school bus on a dark winter morning (or any morning in fact). Spanning the first few years of my time at high school (1997-1999, I’m older than I…

Netflix’s latest hit series Stranger Things is awesome from many, many reasons and not least because of its brilliant soundtrack. The original score by Kyle Dixon and Michael Stein has just been released as an Apple Music exclusive but there was also a smattering of superbly placed 80s classics throughout. Here’s a playlist of every song featured in Stranger Things Season One, in order (although…

In an attempt to undo some of the damage caused by that TERRIBLE John Lewisified version of Robyn’s ‘Dancing On My Own’ that’s clinging onto the charts, I decided to make a playlist inspired by the original. These 25 songs follow in the upbeat but melancholy formula and are best enjoyed after a bad day and a bottle of wine (or two) in the comfort of your own home/bedroom.…
