Tour Announcement: Lucy Dacus Returns to NZ (June 2022)

Well, it’s been a couple of years since I’ve done a post about a live show. For obvious reasons (COVID). Any time promoters or artists have shifted the show it’s felt like a wee prayer that then goes unanswered. It’s been hard to put a brave face on it, or draw any sort of smile. […]

Movies of My Life # 16: The Compleat Beatles

Maybe it’s because it’s hard to find and best remembered for what it represented (also: time/place) but I reckon The Compleat Beatles is the very best Beatles doco there’s ever been. It shits on The Anthology which is not terrible, but is, probably, far too much of a good thing. When The Anthology was released […]
