Cloud Nothings @ Electric Ballroom, London, 01.12.2014
London is a much changed city from the one I left in 2004 for a one year stay in Australia that, out of nowhere, has turned into a full decade. So many of the venues and pubs have gone – from the Intrepid Fox to Bull & Gate to the never-ending Tottenham Court Road redevelopment […]

No one sent us the new Taylor Swift album to review
So no one sent us the new Taylor Swift album to review. It’s a shame as we would have done our best to buck the trend and not have another review written by a male reviewer. Spot the difference: NME’s review of Taylor Swift’s ‘1989’ by Matthew Horton Rolling Stone’s review of Taylor Swift’s ‘1989’ by […]
