Black Gold‘s ‘Shine’ is a passable pop song with a catchy, pretty melody that I can easily picture scoring the background to one of those “walking quickly towards each other after realising they’re meant to be” scenes in a romantic comedy.

I love going to the theatre. There is something very raw and elemental about sitting before a stage, with nothing separating you from the performance but the columns of dusty light flooding from the lamps above.

The band came onto the stage, […]

“I mean, I don’t want to go on about it…but if people start turning their backs on comedy and walking off panel shows…: then the terrorists have won.” That was probably the moment. That’s right, the moment when I fell a little bit in love with a skinny, mop-topped, homosexual, Jewish comedian. Simon Amstell had […]

The compelling social critique that is Paddy Chayefsky’s “Network” is as chillingly relevant today as it was in 1976
