Wow, it's been a while. I shall not speak of the pretty boring few months I have had, because they were in fact pretty boring. Lists. They are wonderful things. The simple act of choosing your favourite books, films, albums etc and adding bullet points next to them brings such joy to a simple-minded being such as myself. Over the last few film studies lessons I have made quite a few lists, 12 to be...

Hurts are the first of two acts on our ones to watch list for 2010 that threaten to bring an ostentatious, stern, eastern European look back into fashion for bands. There was a time before brit pop and grunge when many a group that marched out of art school brought obscure literary references, intense synth darkness and an aloof composure to the stage that has been all but forgotten these days. Certainly...

Two semi-forgotten legends, Paul Heaton and Brett Anderson, on the current state of music. It says something when Spandau Ballet getting back together is the most exciting thing the musical press can write about that isn't the X-Factor or Cheryl Cole's eyelashes.

The 80s seems to have produced an endless supply of clever and often pleasingly eccentric pop, much of which has been revisiting us this year, twenty years after that decade ended. There's a new Moyet Best Of just out for instance. And since the year began new albums from Simple Minds , Depeche Mode and Echo and the Bunnymen , to simply name three of the major bands of the time - each of which made...

Filed under: Televation We know "Glee" gets a lot of hype, but if you're tired of the overproduced "mash-ups," the plot devices so bad we're assuming the writers were joking, and a cast of people in their mid-20s playing high school students, may we suggest tuning in to ...

Hambi & The Dance, Delta 5, The Lost Loved Ones - just three of the bands I thoroughly enjoyed - and paid to see - around 25 years ago. Even at the time I was aware they were highly unlikely to enjoy mass market success of any description. Not because they lacked distinction, ability, personality or charm, but because it was so bloody hard to arrive on the higher rungs of the music industry. The...

Olga and I have been on an exercise kick this year. I always bring my iPod with me everywhere, so taking it to the gym is a given. Have you ever noticed that songs you have in a playlist or have earmarked for a workout do not always work for you?
