The Constant Shifting Of The Mind
Read more: The Constant Shifting Of The MindThere are two parts to answering this. One is the constant peak and trough of getting into things and out of them again. The other is the body deteriorating and not letting you do things anymore.

Album Review – New Nausea: Music For Frogs (2026)
Read more: Album Review – New Nausea: Music For Frogs (2026)The latest from New Nausea, Music For Frogs is an eclectic mix of indie pop sounds from the Perth group. Apparently recorded over 6 years (or 6 years in the making), it is diverse, rich in melody, and awash with that sound which has become synonymous with Perth music of late.

Read more: Classic Movie Review – Thief (1981)Made in the year of my birth, this interesting caper movie is Michael Mann’s directorial feature film debut.

Single Review – Poison Ruïn: Eidolon
Read more: Single Review – Poison Ruïn: EidolonI will admit I love everything Poison Ruïn have done up to now, and this single is no exception. It’s muddy, heavy, the lyrics barely audible, but just rocks like hell.

I Was So Much Older Then, I’m Younger Than That Now
Read more: I Was So Much Older Then, I’m Younger Than That NowHow do significant life events or the passage of time influence your perspective on life? Being over 40 now, this question is something I think about a lot. It always makes me think of the Bob Dylan lyric from My Back Pages, amazingly written when he was only 22!

Movie Review – Caught Stealing (2025)
Read more: Movie Review – Caught Stealing (2025)Directed by Darren Aronofsky, Caught Stealing is about the right balance of fun and chaos that you want in a popcorn movie. Interesting considering previous movies from the director have been quite dark and serious (list any – Requiem for a Dream, The Fountain, The Wrestler, Black Swan, Mother!). Despite leaning towards comedy, it is…
