Photo: J. AirdJulian Taylor is no stranger to these pages, and his musical journey has lasted more than 25 years… so far.

Best/Favourite Christopher Nolan FilmChristopher Nolan has become one of the defining filmmakers of the 21st century, with a filmography marked by critical acclaim, major box office success and lasting cultural influence.

These qualities have made Nolan a brand in his own right, a status reinforced by Oppenheimer’s box office performance and The Odyssey’s historic IMAX run, with screenings reportedly sold out around the world until September.

ROCK mythology has a habit of turning complex lives into simple narratives. The tragedy of Ian Curtis’s death has long overshadowed Joy Division’s astonishing achievements as a band, often reducing a remarkable story of artistic growth to a tale of loss. Overlooked, too, is the reality of Joy Division as a working band: ambitious, funny, flawed and increasingly transformative whenever they stepped onstage. Behind the legend, then, lies the true story of Joy Division – one involving Vimto, goat curries, pranking William Burroughs, the unexpected theft of their sandwiches by none other than an ’80s pop superstar and the overwhelming…
In 1970 Gregg Allman committed a felony to record “Midnight Rider”. The Allman Brothers vocalist finished up the tricky third verse well after midnight, but he still wanted to record the song while it was fresh. So he smashed a window at Capricorn Sound Studio in Macon, climbed inside, and tracked the song with just an acoustic guitar. Allman avoided a breaking-and-entering charge, and the song became his signature tune. “Midnight Rider” also cemented southern rock as a distinctive genre, as a new generation of good ol’ boys married rock’s guitar theatrics with the swampy rhythms of r&b, the precision…

Recorded at drummer and engineer Ben…
Based out of Los Angeles, Mexican-born artist “Nat James” has recently revealed her brand new track, “Fly to LA”. The dreamy new offering was written after someone flew from Norway to meet her unprompted – which you might be able to tell from the title of the track, “Fly to LA”…. asublime, atmospheric dream-pop track rich with cinematic vocal layers and emotional drama.It is a cinematic indie-pop track that is all about that fine line between a seemingly movie-esque moment and the chaos that comes with the emotions. Vocally, Nat is sublime here with some incredible backing vocals that are…
