In these times it is hard to keep your demeanour and your outlook on the horizon; the pressure on the conscious causes the neck to sag, the vision to see only what it wants to and the body to feel the weight of the Universe dragging it down to the level of the dirt in the road. In these times it is more important than ever to try and keep the smile going, to keep the groove in the music you hear in your heart, your soul alive and your Head Up High.

The insatiable desire to learn, experiment and not stand still, that is the first thought that might run through the mind when reading Bruce Dickinson’s What Does This Button Do? Yet despite all the glory, the incredible dexterity in which he has juggled the almost impossible, lead singer and unmistakeable voice of Iron Maiden, half a dozen solo albums, writer, maker of film, swashbuckling blade for Great Britain, airline pilot and for all we know would make a finer example of Prime Minister than many of the incumbents to hold office. What comes across is the realisation that at times this is a man who has actually lived; he has not taken a single day for granted and that in itself is more powerful, more genuine, than many autobiographies that seek to address a perspective of a life in the limelight.
She had the type of hair
that Maria Fredriksson
wore without apology,
not that she would ever need to,
not that any of us should be required
to utter,
Come not ye empty mourners,
I boldly cried out loud
in the safety of her stark office,
too young for personal effects
but complimentary on my tattoos
that straddle my arm
as if making the best of a bad deal,
a slight hand job with no verbal kissing,
no sweet talk, she took me to the edge

Iconic perhaps doesn’t do Suzi Quatro justice, the word somehow refuses to roll off the tongue properly, it gets caught up in the mesh of images, in the crossfire of youthful explosion of 70s teenage dreams and admiration of the first woman of Rock, through to the status she truly deserves today.
Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10
When you’ve never experienced a phenomenon it can be quite easy to scoff, to take a look at the moment from outside the pull of the dedicated fan and believe that no matter what you would be immune to sultry tones of the supposed magic which casts its eye over all who linger too long in the mercurial light.
The phenomenon you shy away from, is a perhaps the one that catches you out the most, you ignore it arguably at your own cost and whilst we embrace many a facet, many a band, artist or individual, some we lose sight of, we openly mock or just plain forget.

Cast: Idris Elba, Kate Winslet, Dermot Mulroney, Beau Bridges, Linda Sorensen, Vincent Gale, Marci T. House.
The Mountain Between Us is such that at times what we perceive is heroic and noble in ourselves can be considered as weak and ineffective by others. Our stance in the wake of calamity is not defined by what we were but who we are shown to be when the ordeal is over. It is a reminder that what stands between the mountains is not space or the yawning chasm but the chance to grow beyond what is real at the time.

A walk through the woods was perhaps not an issue for travel writer Bill Bryson as he made his way through the Appalachian mountain range, but for the unwary, for the party who go in search of the intrepid when they are not suited to the conditions or the sense of loneliness that comes with such a journey, the woods, the forest, can hold quite a mystical barrier over their well being.
The Smith scratches his bald head
and sighs, exasperated it seems
by the famer’s
and the village’s
lack of understand his point,
that the horse is lame
and needs to be destroyed.
Why shoe a horse good only good for glue
He asks with arrogance in his voice,
educated not for the betterment of
those who seek his service,
but confrontational, weak livered
but full of supposed moral superiority.
He pays no heed to the cries and objections
that the horse can still provide a means

You might think that you are immune to the power of advertising, to the pull of the human trait of desire for the sound of the Siren which urges you into the minefield of exploration, of searching for tantalising glimpse of a passion you have never experienced before; you might think you are beyond such base thought but reason means nothing when you hear the music of Ghalia & Mama’s Boys for the first time.
