Jordan Reyne - Maiden, Mother, Crone
Introduction To An Amazing Artist - Jordan Reyne Jordan Reyne is still the most jaw-dropping artist I have discovered, In 2014 I went to see The Men That Will Not Be Blamed For Nothing (one of the best live bands you can ever see) and Think Tank in Newcastle, and when I got in there was a girl with horns like some pagan sylph on stages sing to a echoplex loop of her own voice on stage.

The Art of Storytelling: Once Upon A Time In The Projects
The year is 1990 and west coast Hip Hop superstar Ice Cube has just left the world’s most dangerous group, NWA. So after being offered help by the east coast powerhouse Public Enemy he goes to New York City to record his ambitious solo debut, Amerikkka’s Most Wanted. The album was heavy with subject matter about the struggle of the inner city, but was also littered with a great deal of humor added to its vivid storytelling. One of the best songs to display this quality of the album was “Once Upon A Time In The Projects”.

Madame Butterfly
Introduction This is a short series of stories based on stories shared with me by Vocal friends. The first one is from Brent Millis and is called, erm, Jizzemboweler (Part 01). Because of its location in Japan and the fact, that there is a dastardly figure involved it made me recall Pinkerton and how he treated Cio Cho San in

On The Road
Introduction There are thousands of songs that mention the word "Road" in the title, and I will try and stay away from the obvious such as Canned Heat's iconic "On The Road Again" but when I did my "Runaway Train" playlist I found ten songs with that title. These wont't all have the same same title.
