We have become embroiled and entrenched in the moment. Our capacity for concentration has diminished, our long terms goals have been reduced to the short-term win; everything we have as a species worked towards has been placed in chaos by the appearance of not being able to see beyond the present minute, from some living in the now and not the forever.

Time is the great leveller, and yet in some cases we have found ways to observe the continuation of that which would have once slowly faded away. Indeed, such is the pulse of various music artists, or groups, we can now witness the possibility of such longevity that a band could feasibly live on in one form or another indefinitely.
Art is meant to outlive the artist, that is the sacrifice of the human soul as it creates from dust that which fascinates long after the illustrator of the human expression has left this mortal coil for the next adventure.

From surprise smash hit to mainstay of the franchise, Guardians Of The Galaxy has done enough to be equal to many of the tales brought to life from the graphic novels of Marvel to the big screen, and perhaps in timely honour, it is only right that the final scenes, for now at least, have seen the mixed bag of characters endear themselves into the public perception.

Fletch lived, briefly but with all the attention that Chevy Chase could muster in the two adaptions made for cinema when he was one of the undisputed kings of American film. Fletch lived, but cinema can be fickle, it can just as quickly destroy as it can create, and after 1989’s Fletch Lives became but a distant memory there was probably no hope that Gregory McDonald’s popular creation would project its neo-noir investigative detective would be back to confront the sins of those without a sense of humour again.

Whist many insist melancholy is the abuse of suffering by the individual, for some it is the arguable truth that it acts as more of a progression to motivation than that captured by the belief of utopia. Utopia may be the ultimate dream, but to get there you must understand that the beauty in your possession is a symbol of the everyday release of expression that comes from allowing the soul to search for the serenity gifted by the melancholic memory.

The Girl With A Hole In Her Heart is one in need of attention, that requires care and nurturing, for the hole could be a void, it could be the missing part that makes her see the world with a different mindset, and one only cured by listening to her voice as she allows those feelings to escape, to flood the body with the love she has always wanted to share with another soul.
That sense of sharing, of offering, comes thick and fast in the brand-new album from the electronica legends, A Man Called Adam.

A piece of television that keeps you awake during the night, that has taken your reason out for a long walk and left it at the roadside attached to a pole and driven off at high speed, is to be congratulated for the sheer audacity in which it has been conceived and executed.

We all want that moment, be it for a brief period in our lives, or if we are fortunate, a sense of relief that lasts years, even a lifetime. There is no emotional satisfaction that comes close, no gut-wrenching honesty that survives and offers hope than when you can say to someone who loves you that “The Way You Look At Me” makes me want to be a better person.

Seeking revenge for a perceived wrong in childhood is a powerful emotion that runs arguably deeper than that which inflicts itself on that of an older man or woman, both states of the human experience run true, both leave their mark on the psyche, but that which leaves its scars in youth is harder to supress and conceal than that which occurs in middle age.

The Time War arguably truly begins with a hybrid being fought over, a case study in the relative positions of two great empires, one dedicated by the actions of a mad man to destruction, racial purity, and genocide, the other the relic of a period in time when lords were looked upon as Gods, and when they acted in the same casual, nonchalant manner.
