The Mixed Horror Trilogy

I have stumbled upon a great new idea: The Mixed Horror Trilogy. Well, apologies if you thought of it first, but it’s new to me. We start with Halloween – arguably where modern horror starts. The (proper) birth of the slasher. One of the most influential indie movies of all time; John Carpenter’s finest soundtrack […]

RNZ Feature: Dave Dobbyn’s Classic Trilogy of Albums

I’m usually on RNZ once a month to have a chat about some new albums and I also do a bunch of Music Features. And last Christmas season I was invited onto one of the holiday shows to talk about Damon Albarn and play some of his music. When I was asked to come up with something for this season […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 592

Emerson, Lake & Palmer, The Best of Emerson Lake & Palmer (1980) Less to do with the news of Keith Emerson and Greg Lake dying last year (though in both cases sad news, sure) and more to do with me being won over when I spot the LP-versions of old favourite CDs or tapes from […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 815

Before Midnight: DVD

Before Midnight Director: Richard Linklater Sony Pictures Home Entertainment I’ve sometimes not been sure if I’m watching a Richard Linklater film (Slacker) – or a parody of a Richard Linklater film (Suburbia); sometimes Linklater’s been kind enough to supply both the real/sincere effort and the navel-gazing parody all in one (Waking Life) but by completing […]
