Murder mysteries are stock in trade for television, everyday there is the detective’s lot in finding a killer, and the only thing that changes is the reasoning of the one committing the heinous crime, or the personality of the one investigating them. The genre never grows tired, but it can become a little predictable, the staleness is inert and takes a genuine talent and insight to give it the value and respect that many plead for in the modern age.

I, Claudia: Storms & Silver Linings. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

Storms gather, it is in the very fabric of existence that we must expect upheaval, but if we weather the storm, if we seize the silver linings on show as the lightning illuminates their positions and meanings to us, then we may find something unexpected, a tale of the unforeseen presented as a gift to us.

I, Claudia’s message in Storms & Silver Linings is one of impressionable intimacy, and for the woman behind the name, Claudia McKenzie, the intricacy of arrangements and vocals beguile the senses for the first time listener and confirm certainties of those who have followed the maker of the self-confessed chaos and essence.

I, The Lion. Gig Review. Craft Taproom, Liverpool.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

There in the deep heart of England’s countryside town of Cheltenham, a place that holds secrets and listens in to the chatter, gossip and state sponsored espionage, a town surrounded by the thought of the country’s green and pleasant land, is the roar of the unexpected, of the disquiet and arguably unrest against the rule of tyranny dressed in shining suits and old school money; there is bellow calling out in this heart land of conservatism and rigid social structure and one that has I, The Lion as the leader of this surprising, but ultimately welcome, fight back against pre-conceived ideas and demanding social inequality.

I, Tonya, Film Review. Picturehouse@F.A.C.T., Liverpool.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * * *

Cast: Margot Robbie, Sebastian Stan, Allison Janney, Julianne Nicholson, Paul Walter Hauser, Bobby Cannavale, Bojana Novakovic, Caitlin Carver, Maizie Smith, Mckenna Grace, Joshua Mikel.

Life is a circus that is often played out to the tune of someone else’s calling, rebel in any shape of form, become a thorn in the side of authority, and you end up paying the heaviest of penalties, whether you deserve them or not. To rebel against the system is everyone’s right, find your own tune to dance to, but when it goes wrong, there is nothing you can do but blame yourself.

I, Monster.

Yes, there is a monster in you,

I can see it in your left eye,

its claws sharp, beckoning, dangerous

and demented as its scratches

along the iris, leaving lines that seep

out the pale red of humanity

that it affords you, that the monster,

cunning and deceitful allows you too feel.

 

I see the monster and hear it growl and laugh,

I experience suffering

as I try my damndest to pull away

from the stare, the fixated point of lascivious

longing that comes with natural ardour.
