Master technician, vocal legend, absurdist stand-up, Reggie Watts covers all the bases if, like me, you think Bill Bailey’s lost his oddball ‘edge’. Blending looped vocals with surrealist observations – at one point scatting through the settings on his projector to unexpectedly comic effect - he’s just started a dozen day residency at the Soho Theatre in London, finishing on August 8th, so please [...]
The new Tron movie is pretty much old news, but the recent San Diego Comic Con showcased this HD trailer featuring original Flynn Jeff Bridges, and it’s worth reviewing: I previously had no interest in revisiting the Tron universe.

First up is a site that’s being doing the rounds on Twitter for quite a while, but is well worth another look – Awkward Family Photos. We’ve all been there. The [...]
Is no one else excited? Goblin? Live at The Scala on Monday the 27th of July? It’s too good to be true, right? Ok, there may be only handful of people who share my excitement at seeing these masters of Italian prog rock next week and you can bet they’re all Dario Argento fans too. [...]
