So amazing to be able to use AI to put together my Best of 2025 list. In previous years I literally spent hundreds of hours listening to music and thinking about it. Now it’s done in under a minute. That’s what I call Cool Tech!

Highly entertaining spin on the imminent end of year list
Been out of action on the blog for a while, but making a return for list season. Throwing this one out early partly as a prediction piece.

Here’s our most overrated albums of 2025. Don’t believe the hype.

Is it me or has autocorrect gone to shit recently? I’m obviously saying ‘this’ and not ‘thus’?! Nobody is saying ‘thus’

Caught up with Sean Baker's The Florida Project. A vibrant portrait of doom. A wild optimism in the chaos. Cheers to bfi player

Watched The Reckless Monent last night. Mason is great. Ophuls grandstands with sweeping takes of multiple peripheral interactions. Does it qualify for #noirvember?!
