iPod... we hardly knew ye.

Image
The demise of the venerable old iPod has been predicted many times. With each new iPhone announcement from Apple it was generally expected that  the music-baring beast of burden would be chopped from the roster, only to see it march on against the tide. A betamax dancing alone at a Bluray-only night club. A Dickensian Spectrum 48k peering forlornly through the window of a next-gen console restaurant.  Until, later than predicted but in no way a surprise, the curtain was quietly brought down during the recent release of the iPhone 6. No announcement, no fanfare, just the hasty removal of the product from the Apple website. A silent death for a device that only wanted to sing. So why should we mourn? In this world of solid state ultra portability, who would want to carry an actual hard disk around in their pocket? Who on earth needed to carry their entire music collection with them? Well, me, for one. And I'm not alone if the many other ...

Shooting Fish #1 - Gremlins 3 (Part 1)

Image
Whether we like it or not, beloved movies from the 80s are going to be pillaged for illconceived sequels and reboots for the forseeable future. Always seen as an easy way to make cash and get the fans on side. Like shooting fish in a barrel! But things are never that simple. Shooting Fish #1: Gremlins 3 Part 1. The Background. Gremlins should have been a throwaway film. A forgettable piece of B-Movie genre cinema from an age when the screens were full of such movies. But much like the Gremlins themselves, who morphed into every movie stereotype the producers could think of during the famous scene at Dorry’s Tavern, the movie refused to be just one thing. It was a creature feature, a horror, a christmas film, a satirical comedy and a deliciously dark kid’s movie from the decade that defined what a kid’s movie could be and decided it didn’t have to be just Disney. And to people of a certain age, (ahem…. hi) it’s more than that. A cultural phenomenon with dialogue and lore still qu...

1991 in Music: Part 1. Journey

No, not "Journey". You can stop believing if you so wish. THE Journey... How I got there. Where? Well, in this case, 1991. But we start a bit earlier, 1980 in fact... Assuming their family had a half decent record collection or radio around the house, it's fair to say that a young person's musical discovery starts pretty much as soon as they are able to dance to their favourite tunes. My earliest memory of having a favourite song was at the age of four when my *Mam walked into the room to discover I had found out how to work the record player and had put on one of her Beatles records. Specifically she walked in to find me dancing to Yellow Submarine. I actively remember that incident and the thrill of putting the the needle down (probably not as gently as i should) on the vinyl. My Mam being a young lady of the 60s and 70s, there was ample good music for me to discover when rummaging through her vinyl collection when she wasn't around. At the poppier...
