We live in a microcosm that is ruled by psychopaths and sick-minded individuals, a town hall filled with fools and inhabited by a City Of Clowns bent on anarchy and chaos of the mind. It’s perhaps to the make-up of these lawlessness states of being that the scathing nature of Marie Davidson’s brand-new album hits home with such power, with a scathing rebuke of the antagonist shaking their head at the insanity of it all.

It is our own fault, we have become a species of reaction and not of deep contemplation, we are slaves to the emotion and we have given up our right to the reflective, the speculative, and musing of life; instead of thought, we have assumption and rumour, and neither are true deliberations on how humanity should see themselves or act in the future.

Perpetual Change is good, it is the reason for revolution, it is the uninterrupted flow of time that offers us a perspective of the new in motion and the past as a constant, ceaseless reminder of the beautiful and the desired that walks beside us in our waking lives.

One of the most prolific musicians, producers, and remixers returns from the studio armed yet again with an album full of detail, and with an overview that is expansive, distinctive, and perhaps in the vein of the Progressive giants who weaved the music with such an intricacy that the idea of two songs that are bound by studious length and uniqueness of continual ambition.
Almost fearless, Steven Wilson’s eighth solo studio album is an expansive definition of the Progressive genre, two tracks that are inspired by the heavens, the overview effect that is experienced by astronauts looking back at our lonely planet from the darkness of space.

To live with wisdom is arguably the point of our existence; and yet so few people truly engage with that mindset, preferring instead to live vicariously, happy to be spontaneous but with no purpose in their short walk through the woods of life.
It is only perhaps when that spontaneity is halted, paused as the world turns with a miracle of life or the sudden damnation of a society on the fringes of panic, disillusion, and bad decisions, that they see the wise choices in the rear-view mirror and the pain of regret that comes with it.

Inspiration should never be planned or deliberate, it should strike at the mind and soul as a gift from a Muse, it should present itself as one finds themselves suddenly greeted by the sight of clear, drinkable water after a slog through the desert with only mirages and apparitions for company.

Everything is, as the native’s will always espouse, ‘bigger’ in Texas, and in time honoured fashion that statement is given its test and found to be, with respect, almost true. From the wide-open skies to the sense of freedom that the state demands, part of the United States of America but seeing itself as its own functioning country, the sense of life size is everywhere, and even in the humble there is a drive that confounds the onlooker, but which makes absolute sense to those who understand the heritage and the legacy of those who call the state, home.

Murder, at its most inventive, sells for television and cinema almost unlike any other genre; it is the basic desire to see the restitution of justice, the chance for the armchair detective to sharpen their wits against the author of the piece, and to satisfy a need to see if they could indeed also get away with the most horrendous of acts one human can commit on another.

Cast: Danielle Bird, Mei Mei MacLeod, Mateo Oxley, Phil Yarrow, Charlotte Bloomsbury.
The fast and the curious are given their true sense of exhilaration and thrills in the sublime Patrick Barlow adaption of the John Buchan novel, The 39 Steps, and in dramatic fashion the brilliance of farce and the sheer genius of buffoonery is once more aligned with the stars and the conceit of the spy story is shown for the creativity that the production deserves.

Making Moves, an aspect of human life that shows our intent to strive for a higher plane, to understand that whilst occasionally we might need to rest, we must never sit long enough that the belief in our purpose is replaced by the temptation to settle, we must forever see life as a mysterious adventure, not as a couch worn away by the imprint of our remains and established habit.
