It May Feel Bad: The Soundtrack of My Year. Runner-Up in The Soundtrack of Your Year Challenge.
Looking back, 2024 wasn’t the year I’d hoped for. Yet, through the valleys and peaks, music—and the people closest to me—helped me find moments of joy, loss, and resilience.

Boundaries Festival, Sunderland, 2024. Top Story - November 2024.
Sometimes, it’s the provincial towns where the fascinating stuff happens. Take Sunderland’s Boundaries Festival. In theory, assembling an international array of experimental music gurus in a northeastern city better known for footballing struggles and industrial heritage should be a non-starter. Easy to assume there’s no local audience, and nobody willing to travel to an unfashionable outpost regardless of who is on the bill.

The Circle of Blood.
It takes all shapes and styles for a play. Agamemnon: The Circle of Blood at LA MAMA Downstairs is an interesting, nuanced kind of show. The play is based as much on video artistry as it is on the solo artist: Rafika Chawishe. Out of Ayos, the play can take place in pretty much anytime the earth has existed. As it is set in Greek times, the modern music and sound design (Manolis Manousakis) and video (Asteris Koutoulas) is earry at times; edgy and absorbing at other times.

My All Time Favorite Lead Singers and Solo Artists
One of the most influential reasons as to why someone loves a certain band is the lead singer. Maybe they have a distinct voice. Once they start singing, their voice is unmistakable. Maybe they have the uncommon ability to hit all the high and low notes with ease. Doing so is quite a talent after all.

Top Five Live Covers You Should Watch
Not too much on denigrating the art of the cover, now. Especially, as I've made clear, the live one. It's often high stakes thanks to some inaugural, celebratory, or tribute event in an arena, maybe even in front of the original artist. The live cover, in my opinion, is how an artist truly earns their stripes. Have they made it their own whilst honouring the original? Have they chosen the right track, or indeed been chosen for the event correctly? And ultimately, can they sing someone else's notes and lyrics with new, exciting meaning without changing its DNA?
