Art Garfunkel- “Bright Eyes”
There are two songs in the world which are guaranteed to make me cry: Ordinary World by Duran Duran, and Bright Eyes. One is about what it is like not being a pop star any more, something I should find difficu[…]

Way back when I moaned about the ending of 24 season 2. The gist being that for a programme that fed us cliffhangers every week, ending on one was a bit of a gyp. Oddly 24’s sister show in US popularity and ubiquity, torture and thematic conten[…]

So if it wasn’t God (due to logical fallacy) or Alieums (due to unlikeliness and racking of book in UFOlogy sections of bookshop) who really built the moon. Get this: WE DID! B-b-b-but surely we would remember. A moon isn’t just something[…]
