When your back is against the wall, you are capable of many things. In the case of Lester Nygaard, his back is so far against the wall that his shadow is slowly suffocating and franticly using a small hammer to try and dig through to the other side.

There can be nothing more wonderfully terrifying to the mind than reading something, a classic gothic novel, a piece of macabre inducing poetry or indeed the prosaic style of any of the finest horror writers of the last hundred years, or finding a set of books that just make you squirm with delight with every turn of the page.
For anybody who loves the Graphic Novel, for anybody who the loves horror, Locke & Key is an absolute must and the third in its series, Crown of Shadows, maintains the very high standards that writer Joe Hill and artist extraordinaire Gabriel Rodriguez have thrilled fans with in the previous two books.
The monument of a thousand radio plays
and midnight angry violent arguments in which the host would
invariably
find the stirring spoon such a joyous toy in which to thrill his sterile wife
who listened in to make sure he was really at work,
was barely visible
as David Owen, former prison inmate of a town near Prestatyn,
former, yet not reformed, alcoholic like his father,

The overwhelming sense of openness, of regret and vulnerability filters itself out from the stereo and plays heartbreakingly into the exposed space that is created by Gina Villalobos. The slight touch of guitar, never far the soul, asks many questions of what it is to be truly allow yourself to feel pain, loss and rejection, the rationality of self-understanding and the clarity and prerequisite of being human.

The power of memory is one that can either hold you back so hard that it feels as if the weight of the future is too difficult to deal with, or can be such an aid in which it can only set you free. What if the place in which those memories are of also retains those memories, the very bricks and mortar that keep you safe from the outside world are able to hold onto an image of a time perhaps best forgotten?

To have spent many a gig in the company of Pete Bentham and the Dinner Ladies is not going to prepare you for just how good they sound, just how wickedly delicious and note-worthy they are tasty a band when allowed the freedom to wax lyrically in an anarchistic scrumptious style.
There is so much right with I Love Here that to take it in one sitting will leave you feeling bloated with over listening, it needs to be savoured, to hit over the metaphorical head of those whose greed makes them uncaring and not sharing, those who wouldn’t understand the irony presented to them if served on a silver spoon with a topping of sarcasm sauce for effect.

Whilst the rest of the world rages about the well-oiled pursuit of extravagant happiness and despair, it seems that the Nordic lands are quite happy just to get on with it and play incredibly good music. Not that they care any less what is happening to the world but it just seems they can talk about it and raise awareness anyway they can through their music so much better than most other nations.

If you take nothing else from the latest double album released by Ruf Records in their Songs From The Road Series, then the fact that Coco Montoya is a musical genius, a work of art painting the picture that itself deserves framing, placing inside a gallery for all too see and adoring wistfully that if only you could have stuck at the lessons granted you, should be the thought that haunts you till the end of your days.
