This episode started out so good and promising. It gives the audience the building blocks and foundations of lore that would get built upon, ret-conned and reinvented constantly over the course of the next 56 years. We're introduced to four main characters, and they carry the first part for 25 minutes. Honestly, it's amazing and … Continue reading ‘An Unearthly Child’ Episode Review
So, you wanna get into David Bowie, do you? I don't blame you. He really is a chameleon amongst his musical peers, constantly reinventing himself and never having a single era that mirrors another. He's gone on to inspire many, such as Marilyn Manson and Placebo to name a few. After discovering him in May … Continue reading David Bowie: 3 Albums, 7 Songs
I had absolutely no intentions of doing this. If you scroll through my blog, you'll see just how much I focus on music from the 80's, mainly Alternative and Post-punk artists like Adam Ant and Gary Numan. Truth of the matter is, I hate most artists and songs of late because they're hypersexualized, repetitive and … Continue reading Initial Thoughts: ‘Notes On A Conditional Form’
Before I get into this review, I just want to preface it by saying that I have been waiting for this moment for about half of my life. Here's a little story for you: when I was about 9 or 10 years old, me and my dad went to a car boot sale at a … Continue reading ‘The Faceless Ones’ Episode Review

Of course it managed the same success of his previous efforts, giving him his third #1 album in two years, and two more successful singles to accompany it. These singles were released prior to … Continue reading ‘Telekon’ Album Review
Here we have a very odd release in the history of 'Doctor Who'. The show was approaching it's 40th anniversary, but it had been off air since 1989 and the only adventure the Time Lord had was the 1996 TV Movie- that in itself caused enough debate until 2013. The show was pushed into new … Continue reading ‘Scream Of The Shalka’ Episode Review
Previously on my blog I have taken a deep dive into the four albums that made up the 2002 compilation called 'Disconnection', which is essentially a compilation of music that Gary Numan composed and released on his own Numa record label between 1984 and 1992. What the compilation skipped, due to contract and copyright issues … Continue reading ‘Metal Rhythm’ Album Review
Colin Baker is a very underrated Doctor. I feel like so many people are put off by how much of a stark contrast he and his era are, in so many ways, to those who came before him. But you wanna know something crazy? I love Colin Baker as the Doctor, and I would much … Continue reading ‘Timelash’ Episode Review
March 1991 saw the release of Gary Numan's tenth solo album 'Outland', and his second studio release on his new label I.R.S Records; it would later go on to be his last release on the I.R.S label, before restarting his own record label Numa Records the next year to release his succeeding album. The first … Continue reading ‘Outland’ Album Review
It's so hard and saddening to think that the world lost Prince – a musical God walking amongst us – four years ago today. Prince means a lot to me, and to a lot to my friends too, as being an admirer of him opened me up to so many new friends. With that of … Continue reading Breaching Prince’s Vault: Part I
