It is extremely rare for a film with B-Movie aesthetics to be a timeless classic, it’s even more rare when a film which contains corny one-liners is important to cinema and society. John Carpenter’s They Live is just that; an oxymoronic, crude yet brilliant science fiction masterpiece, and […]
It’s rare these days for a Hollywood movie to be anything other than a reboot, a remake, or a merchandise tie-in blockbuster, so when something like “Nightcrawler” comes around it’s surprising to see the public not breathing a collective breath of fresh air as they descend on their […]
A year after their impressive début album and two and a half years after their outstanding début mixtape, Issa Gold and AK bring us “Evermore: The Art Of Duality”, and with this sophomore studio album The Underachievers bring us a slightly more mature sound and a deeper concept. […]
Richard D. Hall is an Engineer, IT Consultant, and U.F.O. researcher, and his programme “Rich Planet TV” (previously know as “RichPlanet.Net” and “The Rich Planet Starship”) began airing in the UK during the mid-to-late noughties on Edge Media Television and then later on Information TV, Showcase TV, and […]
“12 Angry Men” is one of the greatest movies ever made and in my opinion it comes close to being a perfect film. The story centres around the twelve jurors of a murder case as they deliberate over the guilt or innocence of an eighteen year old boy […]
Ever since the Hip-Hop genre began, Rap collectives have been an integral part of the art-form. Hip-Hop groups such as The Furious Five and The Juice Crew in the 80’s and the Boot Camp Clik and Wu-Tang Clan in the 90’s showed that a varied mix of skills […]
Back in the early nineties, West Coast Gangsta Rap ruled Hip-Hop music, but once the sub-genre began to feel stagnant, Hip-Hop required some new blood and an injection of new ideas. In 1993 that’s just what it got; along with the Wu-Tang Clan, the Boot Camp Clik’s lead […]
NHK World is a strangely captivating channel, it may be located amongst all the news channels in your programme guide, but the majority of the time NHK airs special interest broadcasts such as documentaries, travelogues, fashion, technology, and cooking shows. If you tune in you’ll be introduced to […]
For the past few years Raz Fresco has been making some great music, and if you heard his “Screwface Tape” a year ago then like me you’ll be waiting for his début album “Pablo Frescobar” to drop. The album is released today on Duck Down, home of the […]
Longevity in the music business is rare, it’s especially rare in the Hip-Hop genre, so it’s great to hear someone from the old-school still sounding fresh and relevant. Whereas certain Rappers from the nineties have sounded stale for the last decade or so, and with certain new Rappers […]
Those who’ve heard Que Hampton on various collabos with Bishop Nehru, have been waiting patiently for a solo effort, and although the album “The Chosen One” hasn’t yet dropped, thankfully a mixtape titled “A Piece Of BLAKK” has been released. The mixtape has a distinctly early-to-mid nineties vibe, […]
Warren Zevon was the very definition of an idiosyncratic musician and he was responsible for some of the most distinct and unusual lyrics in the history of Rock music. His use of dark comedy and outlandish storytelling made him a completely original singer-songwriter, and his sometimes surreal and […]
Ever since the song “Coolie High” dropped in 1996 I’ve been an ardent fan of the group Camp Lo. Once I heard their début album “Uptown Saturday Night” the following year, I’ve always felt that their style was refreshingly different. The duo’s fusing of abstract lyrics concerning sex, […]
