Another great Starflyer release
The "Miami EP" is a pretty clear follow-up to last year's release, "Young In My Head," which I awarded 10 bombs. In fact, two of the five tracks on this release are either spiritual twins or direct successors to tracks from YIMH.
But that's not necessarily a bad thing. In fact, while I was listening to the final track "Bored" for the first time and I was able to sing along with it, it slowly dawned on me that it was a continuation of the song "Cry" from YIMH, which was cool. I hadn't expected it. It isn't the same song at all, but it has some of the same tune and lyrics in a new form.
The other three tracks on the EP are new and fresh and have a killer surf-rock/shoegazer/British rock vibe. Starflyer 59 has evolved and changed so much in the past 27 years, but their songs are distinctly "Starflyer" which is no mean feat.
This is another great release that is well worth a listen.

LeftSideCut (3778 KP) rated Psycho Goreman (2020) in Movies
May 21, 2021
I fully understand why Psycho Goreman may not be for everyone, but dammit if it wasn't right up my street.
This film is so ridiculous. From it's sudden bursts of hyper violence to kids playing ball games backed by the sounds of completely over the top guitar solos, to it's abundance of offbeat humour, PG is obviously trying to be exactly the kind of film that it is, but it stops short of feeling overly try-hard.
The young cast are pretty great, heck, all of the cast are pretty great. The commitment to practical effects is admirable, no matter how cheap it looks on occasion. The alien characters look like creatures out of Power Rangers, but it honestly just adds to the experience.
I'm not sure if anything written can truly explain what to expect from this. If you like these kind of 80s throwback B-movies like I do, then you'll surely get a kick out of Psycho Goreman. It's a blast from start to finish.
