FALLOUT 4 – CRAWLING OUT THROUGH THE FALLOUT, AND I’VE BEEN DOING JUST FINE
This week, Morgan remains lucid long enough to review Fallout 4, for reasons best known to himself. I’ve abandoned and returned to Fallout 4 exactly four times in my life. Personifying it as the femme fatale that seduces me with promises of free-roaming, post-apocalyptic adventure, only to strike me down with the harsh truth of […]
A Year In Review
Indisputable phenomena is one of the most unnerving concepts for the human brain to grasp. We are programmed to question; to look further; to hypothesize, and disprove or improve upon past findings. The unstoppable nature of time and the inevitable occurrence of manmade or natural disaster, death, and rebirth baffles us because these processes cannot […]
Which Supermarket Has the Best Cookie?
Welcome! You have clicked here to find out the judge’s (me) comment on the grocers’ cookies you can find in St Andrews (and also others located across UK). It has taken me 4 years to decide that I want to invest a bit in cookies and compare the ones you can find in markets. Although […]
Why We Love the “Good For Her” Film Trope
(A fair warning, there are spoilers for Gone Girl and Midsommar, so if you’d rather be surprised, don’t read ahead!) Not long ago, I read Gone Girl, devouring it in a couple of days and immediately watching the movie, which was just as good, and I can now admit that I am one of those […]
Listening Rec: Triple J’s Like a Version
Triple J’s Like a Version is an Australian radio show that each week invites a different artist onto the show to play two live songs: one of their own, and a cover of their choosing. Featuring artists from Glass Animals to Bon Iver to Mumford and Sons, Triple J has amassed an impressive collection of […]
Top 10 K.K. Songs
It’s been kind of a rough ride from last March to today, for reasons I won’t elaborate on. Luckily, we were blessed with a new Animal Crossing game mid-pandemic, so, you know, it almost balances out. The opportunity to replace your everyday concerns with bug catching and fishing is every escapist’s dream. And god knows […]
Zombie Army Trilogy – No Sign of Zombie Goebbels
This week, Morgan is inducted into the modern trend of shooting swathes of zombies, the sheep. Nazi zombies always feel like overkill to me. We already dislike regular zombies; their intent to nosh on our balls makes them rather awkward dinner companions. Proceeding to then also make them Nazis feels like an unsubtle method to […]
Review of Mayday Parade’s Self-Titled Album (2011)
My Spotify Wrapped and last.fm listening report has revealed something about me I didn’t realise before: I listen to a lot of Mayday Parade. I couldn’t tell you why since I thought I’d left behind my edgy angst phase back in 2014, but it seems as though some things never change. Mayday Parade is a […]
The Best Songs of 2020
Last year I wrote “Top 10 Worst Songs of 2019” for The Record and people seemed to really like the article. There’s nothing I enjoy more than a harsh critical analysis of pop music and I was fully prepared to make the same list again for 2020. However, we all know how sh*t 2020 was […]
Rating Every Version of Mitski’s ‘Class of 2013’
Music acts as both an emotional outlet for artists, and an emotional conductor for listeners. Though a lot of artists come close, Mitski is one of the only artists who can, without fail, make me feel something. I have a deep emotional connection with almost every single one of her songs, but there’s one that […]
