This song feels like a moment of catharsis; it's a Ryan Adams meets Tom Petty vibe that it is all right with me, all night long.

“I know the sun will rise,
and we both can’t win.
I want to see you smile again”
— Joel Jevi

Perfect pop instinct, a nice dry mix, great songwriting and a fantastic attention to detail makes this song the lead track on our upcoming playlist CHILL NEW Songwriters Volume 1.

Still in love with this series. It's completely different to anything else I've read, which is probably why I like it so much.

It's getting 5 stars for the romantic aspects of the story. Think it would only have been 4 stars if the romance hadn't gone up a level. I think they are a really nice couple and some of the scenes between them in this were almost heart-breaking.

Can't wait for book 6!

Rolling Stone's 456th greatest album of all time (493rd in the 2020 list)
A nice but unusual collection of soul songs by Marvin Gaye. Anna's Song is a great typical soul song, but the likes of Funky Space Reincarnation are as odd as the name suggests. I think to get the most out of this album you need to ingest similar things to what Gaye must have done in writing and recording it! No classics but good listening.

Another graphic novel I picked up on sale as part of 2020s Comixology 'May the Fourth' sale, and I'm glad I didn't pay full price.

A collection of short stories (or vignettes) all centring on Vader, some of these are - admittedly - better than others, with some nice ideas in there (e.g. Vader being seen as a saviour rather than as a villain).

It's just a pity that there's not really enough meat on the bones (so to speak!)

Rolling Stone's 426th greatest album of all time
An incredibly atmospheric live album (Cheap Trick really seem to have been massive in Japan, like Beatlemania level), including "I Want You to Want Me" and a number of other foot-stomping rock and roll songs. One nice little Easter Egg was discovering that the speaking at the end of "I Want You to Want Me" was sampled to introduce "Jimmy James" by the Beastie Boys on Check Your Head.

Second time watching this film. I didn't dislike it as much as the first time I watched it, but I just can't help feeling so uncompelled by this story. And don't even get me started on the songs. There are like two memorable songs in this movie and those are the only two I really enjoy. Visuals are nice in this but it's obvious that Disney wanted to shovel this out since it was their last 2D film.

If you are a fan of the movies then you will enjoy the nostalgia of the genre, but don’t expect those screams. For me, this movie is more akin to The Nun than the first two movies, but it’s not the worst in the Conjuring Universe, it’s just great to see the characters back on the big screen again, heck it’s nice to be back at the cinema to see a film on the big screen.

Just finished watching I had forgotten that Disney had done an animated version of wind in the willows and it’s decent version all the characters are there mr toad ratty good narration from Brasil rathbone and then there’s a telling of icobold crane and the headless horseman with narration from bing Crosby not bad nice that they kept the scary part to the end not to scare children too much thumbs up from me
