Twentytwentysix: Fake It Tlll You Make It. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

The poetic form is more than just a delivery service for expression, more than an emotional tool to wield in which hearts a set a flutter and the mind is embroiled in the majesties of love and disregard; it is the reason we do anything in life that has observance at its core, why some will deeply allow their resonance to be captured for the eternity in the shape of pleasure even if they are all but speaking of a kind of mundane existence, or the beauty in the ordinary.

Cigarettes After Sex: X’s. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

In some eyes, even a simple x at the bottom of a letter can display more than the writer may have intended, the imagination of the covert and furtive looking for the signs and symbols of a life lived to excess, of the additional effort placed in clandestine response to a love undeclared.

The destruction of the female mind to the point where they start to ape their male counterparts in the world of holding psychopathic tendencies and murderous intent is a shame to humanity.

John Jenkins: Dressing Up The Truth. Single Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

We have an obligation to the past that in some ways could be construed as damaging, but perhaps actually helps act with a greater sense of affirmation and self-belief that in which our souls are bound; for in every action we partake in or willingly pursue with solo ambition, the reality is that someone else remembers it differently, whether by a greater exactness, or by the swirling clouds of existence we are arguably only Dressing Up The Truth of our memory.

Each nation arguably has fought a war that they seem to be forever obsessed with, one that routinely sneaks into the art and the conscious on offer, a kind of reminder of ‘The finest hour’ and the call for a patriotic stance in the face of a different adversity or gruelling national crisis.

Image result for graham gouldman i have notes

We either fall into the category of being writers and observers who put pen to paper without a plan, through the persuasive power of the subconscious and narrative of the dreamer who wishes to bring joy and peace to the proceedings, and those who seek absolute dedication to the cause, the required belief, the no nonsense exploration of the just in terms of qualified and unadulterated…There is no in between, only the rigid and the fluid.
