What makes the image of the California Girl so iconic, one of sun, warm seas, a dream sold to the idealistic and the dreamers never short of cash; the girl was a concoction of post war affluence and political will delivered by propaganda and desire, and one that persists in the minds of the everyday and the visionaries ready to make fantasies come true.

When we are afforded time to truly immerse ourselves into our passions, something resplendent and incredible can be witnessed to have taken place; like magic being waved over those with drive, imagination and ability, but who lack Time due to outside forces commanding their attention, what transpires is a sense of purity revealed by light.
We live in a period of time where we are punished for nourishing our souls, others finding fault with our need to fulfil our promise and making demands on every second as if they are the sole dominant force in the universe.

To be able to look back with hindsight and understand the sheer hiding to nothing that UFO were under as they released their first album without Michael Schenker for the first time since 1971’s UFO 2: Flying is to know that Rock’s perpetual cycle of renewal is what keeps it fresh, forceful, and unpredictable.

The Truth Comes Out Eventually, the only difference between ruin or embarrassment and that of relief and possibly even acceptance is how it is presented to the masses; and for that we must be seen to offer ourselves up as examples of repentant honesty, admitting where our heart may lay, what art we aspire to bring to the world; but never once apologising for the opportunity to lay our souls bare.
We all must yearn for the significance that comes with emotional release, we must maintain value in soul, and truth, whilst always repeated through a person’s own interpretation, is always, if produced with sincerity, to be haunting and faithfully encompassing.

If there is one thing you can guarantee upon in life is that the writer Robert Harris will deliver a tale of such epic proportions that it becomes a true definition of the phrase, unputdownable; and in the post English Civil War/ War Of The Three Kingdoms set novel, Act Of Oblivion, that sharpness of writing, the detail of research, the sense of pacing, all lead to a conclusion that this 2022 book is as exciting, as dedicated to the reader as Fatherland 30 years beforehand, Munich, or even the factual Selling Hitler: The Story of the Hitler Diaries, and as the tale of regicides Colonel Edward Whalley and Colonel William Goffe turn from established fact to possible example of their final endings, the reader cannot but help be immediately satisfied with the explanation and the hunt that has been caused by the protagonist Richard Naylor.

Fast on the heels of the vinyl reissue of the band’s once ‘forgotten’ album, Has Anyone Here Seen Seigfried?, Ruf Records have once again delved into the history of early American Progressive Rock favourites Pavlov’s Dog, and brings to the attention of the fans and the collectors alike the third album from the group, released originally in 1990, Lost In America.

On the back of the single Rise, the West Country-based foursome that make up the powerful entity of Beckon The Wyrd, the brand-new album Out Of The Armoury sits atop of a castle’s keep with the knowledge that its foundations dig deep into the earth below, that its walls are robust and immune to the pounding of the beige in search of complications, and the forge that creates the weapons of words and music roars with satisfaction and keeps the wielders of the genre on vigilant guard and ready to take on the world.

Whilst history is often made far from home, it is the surroundings, comfortable or otherwise, of home that ideas often occur; and when those philosophies and beliefs stir, when they are captured in the rawness of time’s preserve where love is supposed to be at its most finite and pure, then it is within the graces of those with the fortune to hear the results to proclaim how worthy they are to be remembered, how legends are framed best when they in amongst that which they fight for.

One of the most politically informed songwriters of her generation, Kristen Ford, returns with a new album firmly established in poetic rage and an anger of how the world, especially her own native country, has begun turning its back on hard earned, and fundamental rights.
Pinto is more than just emotional, it is a fierce, guttural response to the loss of respect to a community of people to whom she represents with pride; but it also has the balance within the heart to soften, accept and inspire a different outlook for the fans and for herself.

Through the mists we grope our way forward, the senses dulled by the beginnings of fog, from the cold chill that seeps into our bones, through dense skin, past veins and the running of life affirming blood, into that which holds us upright, the bones, the skeleton, and whilst the mists of life surround us daily, they offer us one vital thing to which the bones cannot fathom, it offers the imagination to focus, the brain’s release valve to conjure up images of what may live in the mist, whether it is salvation, or murky creatures from the depths.
