Psychotherapy, a treatment of the analysis of the mind…we understand so little of what drives human behaviour, what guides the brain and how it sparks certain actions by the person, that it is reasonable to look upon the practise with some suspicion, an excuse provided by opinion to keep a criminal, a murderer, an abuser, away from facing the full fury of justice.

Ringo Starr And His All Starr Band: Live At The Greek Theatre 2019. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

The public understand that they are in a fortunate position when they see the curtain rise, when the first chord is struck, when the radiant smile of appreciation, groove, and love is flashed across the stage like a returning hero, for how often can we expect an all-time legend, arguably one of four men to whom their name shall be revered long after music history eats itself, and one to whom fills a room with more than just a song and a memory, but a vibe as well, to keep producing fantastic nights for the crowd given that time is always against us.

Cary Balsano: Not Like Sheeran. Single Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

Always be ready to take a step out of your comfort zone, as an artist, as a listener, it is a sacred duty to your mind and your soul that what you enjoy and practise is only the surface level of your endeavour, you must in effect go punk to stride forward; and if nothing else it will concentrate your thoughts on seeing a larger, more detailed picture evolve before your eyes.

Jim Pearson: Your Stupid Life. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

Never think your life is dull, never allow the thought that your existence in this world means little, or next to nothing, to take hold…all it takes is a single spark in the most unique of organs on the planet to prove that your life means more than what you have been led to believe, or even that in which the inner voice will elaborately whisper about what you conceive to be is Your Stupid Life, but in which lays the falsehood of an identity not wanting to reached, the imposter syndrome to which a mind has achieved greatness.

Immaculate. Film Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 7/10

Cast: Emile Hirsch, Kate Bosworth, Ashley Greene, M. Emmett Walsh, Alex Sgambati, Oliver Moore, Tiffany Smith, Joel David Moore, Gianna Wichelow.

We all have our price, we all have that one figure in our minds in which a stranger could offer us the kind of escapist fantasy in which we come out on top; not quite a deal with the Devil, but a transaction with burdened peace, an arrangement that will test our nerve and the construct of what we perceive as reality.

Lalla, John Hartman, Arthur Holden, Nigel Downer, Stuart Fink, Betsy Sodaro, Mark Linn-Baker, Kathryn Greenwood, Christian Daoust, Cody Crain, Cat Lemieux, Rodrigo Fernandez-Stoll, Odessa A’zion.

It is a curious proposition that any show, especially comedy, that is a big hit in Britain, can face a clamour of public calls for it to be remade for the American television market.

The Plague: Hope For The F.U.T.U.R.E. (2.0). Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

What was once a dream of shining spires, of mutual collaboration between countries, and a prospect of peace, learning, and undaunted exploration forged in the unfettered potential, has become a future that is uncertain, that is stranded somewhere between bleak and inaccessible, of opportunity dashed, and expectations lowered, slashed to the barest bone of life.

The Batman. Film Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

Every generation has its Batman. Every generation around it could find fault with the portrayal, only as with the divisive nature of religion, there are too many gods in which to hoist your devotion and understanding too. Better it seems is to acknowledge that each interpretation is but a part of a whole, take what you want from it, leave good karma, and revel in perhaps one of graphic novel and comic history’s finest ever creations.
